How Piutes Catch Quail.

These natives have a unique way
of getting quail. For them there is
no closed season, or indeed any game
law whatever. Seasons when the quail
come down from the mountains to the
spring the Indians make great prepa-;
rations for their capture.
They build bough house, with q
long slender opening in the front,
formed of tall, straight sticks set
closely together. Within the house
an Indian sits concealed, holding q
long timber rod which he operates.
==IIn#the early morning when the - birds
flock down for water he picks them
off, one at a time, killing them In
stantty. \; = * ~ 49, i 5-4 =:a3

love, my BRIDE! am with you now.
and shall be with you always In spirit
until we are one, until the end OF our
lives. And whatever may be in store
In the immediate sn.::TTss,I shall be
watching and waiting; / shall be

So he bowed over her slim, white
hand and kissed 1t, looking in his
beauty and confidence and strength
like any knight of old, kneeling be-
fore the lady he was pledged to serve.
And when he was gone and she was
alone in her room upstairs, Marjorie
was filled with a Joy and exhilaration
such as she had never known before
and yet there seemed hanging over
the little rosy landscape, the brightly
lit landscape in which she moved, a
dark massive cloud
She dreamt thus. She dreamt that
this cloud grew blacker and blacker
and still more heavy, sinking lower
and lower toward her. Then she saw
her lover as knight In arnor cutting
upward with a cleaning sword until
the cloud parted and rushed away,
and all was once more bathed In sun
light. She knew the name of that
sword. 1t was not Excalibur-it was
Love.
