 CHAPTER VT.
 Arizora's climatic arrangements are varied and umfvalCd. At times thin, light snows. like pulverizEd sugar, frost the pyiamidaq cones of confection; the delicate sheen of its fgathCry tra -ery tiItng the lambent air into Spiriuslle Iainbows and transparent sugg s,ions of wonderful celestial etchings. Nlw the light clouGs-natuGe's fancy work in fligree-rsturn reinforced. The rag gei rim of the Grand Canyon grows richcr in color, emphasizing it's gr1- tesque statuary. Tn distant side can yons sccwl blackly, apr airing fit lalrs for couIhant beasts and hideoua mon stegs. Occasionally grim smiles wreath their hJary mouths as the sun sho1,s in 'Gsnpcsary triumph from the grasp of momentary eclipse.
 DeIuate icy stalactiles hang pendant from aerial stations. devastating tears tr,ekling' hesitatngly down to their very tips.
 Miniature glaciers creep uneasily fron- wfntry beds and pause dismayed on the perilCus brink. Occasionally some giant snowman, sculptored by the festive winds doft fingers, vain of it's magnificent prO1citi5ns, exempN- iies the trite pravegb and tumb,s from it's lofty habitat in sprawling cata- clysm, entOmblng unwary rabbits ia their stony burrows.
 The regal ca,aiact huns funereal classics in subduei und,rtone from be- Eeath it's embroidered coverlet. Its songs arr hugh,d and soothing, replete with touching pataos and tender yearnings f-r kln4ier spring, when it can warb!e agatl unrestrained, and romp in unchapCr1psl abandon.
 In summer it is a sweet sister of charity bathing the fcver5d banks and puckerng itself up for thr wild flowers to Kiss. It's banks are ever vernal with varisgated foliage, which dances and sways to it's ravlshing music, while | only few feet away the desert pants | and throbs and burns.
