TWINS, superstition, tragedy
these are the elements in this
tale OF the Cayuse Indian in his
tepee near the flowing waters of
Gne Unatilla in southern Oregon. It
begins with the superstition, thus:
For zoo years all twin babies born
IN the Cayuse tribe were put 10 death.
The legend runs that the Great Spirit
IS displeased at the coming OF twins
1nto the tribe on account OF a disas-
rrous war which was once waged over
the beauty Of twin sisters; and, as
ike all Indians the Cayuse fears the
wrath OF the Great Spirit more than
anything IN the world. lie has made il
& practice 10 rid the tribe Of the little
newcomers as quickly as possible. that
the mighty one should be pacifed. Vain
the tears and pleadings Of the mothers;
vain the deep, cultural protests Of the
fathers. When twins arrived they also
went How or where no Indian asked.
He knew the reason.
But no rule exists without an cNcep-
tion, and the exception 10 this par
uculsr one may be seen in the picture
above. These two chubby, sturdy. bead
eyed. tight strapped papooses are ii.
They are the first pair Of twins who
have been allowed to live in the Cayuse
tribe for 200 years. and they owe their
lives 10 the natural ingenuity. resource
fulness and orstorical skill OF their
father, Ha-hOts-mox-mox, who pleaded

Grim, terrible words were uttered
They all demanded that the twins
should die.
And then. each Indian, had spoken.
Judgment was all but passed, and still

Indians regarded him stolidly. but deep
excitement was felt Ha-hots-moN-

listened to his words And when he
had finished I FASTENED to bring the
news TO you. my people. that Quf- mi
sum had said that twin daughters, the
first born in the tribe for fifty years
would soon come into the world. IL was
to be an omen OF good, and through
this birth the Cayuse tribe would live

Millet and then l would go to his
atelier and pose. One day. oh, l re-

from the forest with fagots on my
back when I met him on the road and
he painted me just like l was He was
the kindest man I ever knew; if any

would call Nine. Millet into the studio
and say, 'Allez. ma femme, and see
what you can do for the poor invalid
You know when Monsieur Millet came
here he was very poor and while he
had painted some pictures, he did not
paint when he first came to Barbizon.
because he had no luck selling pictures,
so he worked in the fields Then he
found Monsieur Rousseau here and be-
came interested in his painting. and
soon Monsieur Millet was painting
again. and before long he was painting
stronger, some people think, than Mon
sieur Rousseau. After while he mar
ried and in course of time he had

tell you; he died because he didn't eat

so hard always in his atelier, and al

did him no good. and after while he

of the river and the clump or sage
brush that quivered on it's bank.
For a month all went well with the
babies and their parents. Then the
same young bucks who had praised
the girl baby of -ye-hi-hi, walked
by the river one hot summer day, and
as their feet crunched the dry grass
near a thick clump OF brush there
came a little wailing cry.
The sound seemed to come from the
middle OF the bush. Quickly the young
Indians stopped and thrust aside the
dusty branches The face of tiny
papoose, Just four weeks old. looked
up at them from its nest of river
grasses and smiled-a weak, little
wavering smile-and the secret so
faithfully kept was out.
Him-ye- -hi-hi was in her tepee
grooming her baby to sleep when the
two young men of the tribe stalked
grimly in. One look at their stolid
faces was enough. She saw determina-
tion and anger at the concealment
written in their piercing eyes They
accused her of being the mother Of
the bush hidden baby. and Him-ye-

desperate courage she seized a strong

tains, where most of the tribe had
gone for the summers hunting, to tell
of the arrival of the dreaded twins
In two weeks the Indians began to
congregate at the camping grounds
near PendletOn, Ore. on the Umatilla
river. Big Chief Si-ah-sum (Chief No
Shirt) had alreadS said that the an

die. But Ha-hOts- -moX-mox only
smiled when his squaw spoke of the
wa-wa-wee (big talk). now only a few
days off, when all the chiefs and
tribesmen should assemble and the
fate of the twins be made known.
Him-ye-hi-hi wept. though Ha-hots-
moX-mox only smiled: for he had at
last evolved his plan. and it seemed
to him good.
Every brave was garbed in savage

brilliant colors which seemed to melt
into one harmonious whole in absolute

faces of the Indians met to pass the
death sentence on two helpless, uncon-
