Marie G, Dolores Padilla, Il sixteen,
year.old Pueblo Indian girl from Isle

Indian school says the Albuquerque

plans on the part OF her parents
and the men OF the village TO keep

Yesterday the girl, who Is a hand
some young creature with a liberal al
lowance of the picturesque wholesome
beauty of her race. arrived al the To-
cal indian school and announced her
desire 10 become at once enrolled AS u
regular student.
The authorities at the school g
pressed surprise that she had come
without her parents or without any
| arrangements having been made be-
forehand, and the girl finally, after
many evasions, confessed that she
had run away from home In spite OF
strenuous efforts on the part OF her
father and her mother to prevent l.cr
escape from home,
Last night her father and mother
made their appearance AT the school In
a highly exasperated frame of mind,
and demanded that the girl 60 bacl:
with them, Dolores appealed To the
| school authorities. and the latter re
fused TO let the parents take back
their daughter to the pueblo, After
much argument they cooled off a little
and resigned & themselves to the situa
tion.

J to give her a deep hunger for Ia jr'

decided iha, she should marry n nrori

the maiden did not like, and who BE-
sides had no desire whatever for ih'

OF thu world at that time was SO de-
voted to it, and certainly no other
people of equal advancement Of that
or any other time so willfully ignored
the simplest rules Of proportion, per-
spective and form. The sculptor's abil-
ity to suggest majesty and repose and
at the same time ignore anatomical
construction was wonderful. To pre-
serve the features and individual char
acteristics Of model and obey the
rules Of convention was feat to be
achieved only by an Egyptian. There
was no lack of genius in him, but he
had been denied liberty of execution
until he knew no other forms but those
his fathers followed generations before.
Presently Mentu, raising his head,
noted that the shadows were falling
aslant the court. With an interested
but inarticulate remark he dropped
his pen among it's fellows in an earth
enware tray, his plans into an open
chest, and went out across the court,
entering an opposite door.

About these the bazaars and resi-

Memphis was at the pinnacle Of her
greatness in the sixth year of the
reign of the divine Meneptah. She had
fortified herself and resisted the great
invasion Of the Rebu. Her generals
had done battle with him and brought
him home chained to their chariots.
And after the festivities In celebra-
tion of her prowess she laid down pike
and falchion, bull hide shield and hel
met, and took up the chisel and brush
the spindle and loom, once more.
The heavy drowsiness Of a midwin
ter noon had depopulated her booths
and bazaars and quieted the quaint
traffic Of her squares. In the shadows
Of the city her porters drowsed, and
from the continuous wall Of houses
blankly facing one another from either
side Of the streets there came no sound
Each household sought the breezes or
the balconies that galleried the inner
walls Of the courts or upon the pillared
and canopied housetops.
Memphis had eaten and drunk and
sheltered behind her screens, waited
for the noon to pass.
