For historic richness the great South west ir repiete. The feudal reign of the Spanish baron, the bloody record Of powerful Indian confederacies, the in- frepid march of the pioneer who dared to push civilization to the remotest outpost--these stories Of romance anu tragedy are still recounted around Inc hearthstones of living men and women.
 Among all the hitoric spots In the Southwest have found none quite so thrilling and entrancing as that along the old Santa Fe Trail. traversing northern New Mexico. Though 1t has been nay good fortune to have seen the whole original Southwest. yet Tor nearly q year have lived in the very heart of the richest history and sub- finest scenery. Here the Rockies are piled in such reckless grandeur. on the highest peaks and in the fertile valleys stand today the monuments or the worlds greatest romance and trage- dy. I am writing this story while face to face with men and women who loved its hero.
 Among these towering granite hills. buried in the silence of the Rockies, are to be found the ruins of Spanish palaces. spacious and stately in their day Here lie the bones of daring scouts like Kit Carson. Here lingering tribes cling to pueblos and till the fer tile valleys in the most primitive fash Ion. Here lice the cliff dwellers-a rem nant still wandering through rough hewn granite halls deserted by their fathers in the long ago.
 Pages might be filled with the stor- fes of the pioneers and frontiersmen in the mighty Southwest No more pict-s uresque character e~er traversed this wilderness than Augustiniani--the Her. nit of old Baldy. When his last signal fire died away on the crest of Olq Baldy the people wept for maytyrk hero And to this very day there is a body at Fl Porvenir called the Brother hood of Hermits whose sole object ia to perpetuate the sacred teachings of the old Catholic Indian priest

nesses were the hiding places of fa- nous outlaws like Griego. Poncha, Clay Allison. Chunk. Coal oil Jimmy, Long" Taylor, and scores of other ban- dits wild and fierce. In the gambling hells of the Cimarron fortunes were made and lost in night. Within reach of the hermit's home was the rude adobe of Kit Carson, the ceiebrat- ed Indian scout. whose bones now rest at Taos under the shadows of the great Indian pueblos. Thus was Augustin. iani environed by a motley and reck- less citizenship. He breathed the at mosphere of pioneer days. endured the hardships of eternal snow. and faced the constant danger of border war fare-all because he had seen the ap- pariton of the Virgins hand among the flowers and perfume of his Italian home. He did not dare to disobey the Heavenly vision.
 Near the summit of Old Baldy there is a perennial spring whose cold and sparkling waters leap from beneath its very crown. About these gushing mountain waters there fingers the story of the hermit. It is said that when he first reached the summit, searching for l a cave in which to live. he was almost perished from thirst. With his stan he smote a rock and from it sprans this beautiful stream that has never ceased to flow.
 Though many thousands of feet above the valley. numbers sought his cave. Augustiniani erected fourteen huge, rude crosses, the ruins of which still stand as silent mementoes of his devotion and zeal. From among his curious and devout visitors he formed society called the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross. His only exaction was . pilgrimage in May and September. They must ascend the peak and say prayers around these crosses.
 In the May pilgrimage of 1887 he made a farewell speech that crushed the hearts of his. followers. It was then he revealed to them the hand of destiny Tn his call to the land of Old Mexico. Before his departure he wis., tied Father Bcaa. of Las Cruces who presented him with gold for his long journey He sought meditation for the night in the wiids of the Organ Mountains Taking his farewell of Father Baca, he said:
 Tonight will be in my cave and will build my last fire on the peak to tell you good bye. T. will pray the rosary and want you to do likewise with your people on the roofs of your houses. If you do not see the fire you may know that I am dead and may come tomorrow and get my books and property."
 No fire was kindled on the peak that night. hTe next day a company as- cended the heights. Amidst the very clouds they found the body of the good old hermit stricken with many 8 Nav ato arrow.
