Hindoo DANCING,

Hindoo dancing bears no similarity
to that Of the European. Stage acting
in the shape Of comedies and tragedies
is hardly to be found among the Hin
docs. The chief characteristic Of their
dancing is their dress, which very
often is horrible and grotesque to look
at. Their dances consist in wrestling.

head, hands. legs. as If agitated by vio-
lent commissions, to the sound Of mu-
steal instruments.
The Hindoo taste for music is so
marked that there is not single gath
ering. however small, which has not
some musicians at its head. The in
struments on which they play are for
the most part clarinets and trumpets;
they have also cymbals and several
kinds of small drums The sounds
produced by these instruments are far
from pleasing and may even appear
hideous to European ears.
The matuva, or conductor, is the most
remarkable of all the musicians In
beating time he taps with his fingers
on narrow drum. AS he beats, his
shoulders, head, arms, thighs and, in
fact, all the parts Of his body perform
successive movements. and simultane-
ously he utters inarticulate cries, thus
animating the musicians both by voice
and gesture.

Beth Lewis was lost.
On every side were sand and crisp
brown vegetation and the hopeless

were a cloudless blue sky and burn

Beth's red lips closed resolutely as
she urged her tired horse along the
family defined trail which had led
her astray.

When miles Of burning sand had
been traversed she rode down the dry

and snorted shrilly. Another step and
his feet sank in the yielding sand.
With scream Of terror the beast set

made an Intellectual leap forward.
Beth shot over his head and fell a
crumpled heap on the ground beyond
the outer circle of shimmering sand.
When she recovered consciousness
Lightfoot was struggling shoulder
deep in the quicksand. his strained
eyes turned in agony upon her face.
She turned away and sobbed her
helplessness into her hands. When
she looked again there was nothing
save the yellow sand undulat ting in the
sunlight.

beneath those treacherous quicksands.
But was her lot much better, alone,
afoot. without food or water, lost in
wild canyon, on one side of which rose
a precipitous wall of rock and on the
other, cutting off escape, the quick
sand?
The sun moved slowly away from
the canyon, but the sitting heat did
not abate. The rocky walls reflected
the binding glare and intensified it's

Pale and languid, Beth leaned back
against rock and looked with
dreamy eyes toward the mouth of the
canyon, where help might come-if it

which she had left after breakfast for
her morning canter, would attempt to
find her. Would it be Buck HAYDEN
or Judson Bailey?
She pictured the two men. loose
imbed and graceful, stretching along
the necks of their horses with eyes
alert for a glimpse Of the girl they
both loved and were fighting for with
amicable rivalry. Together they had
courted Beth Lee with certain dog
ged persistence, and she felt somehow
that side by side they would come
searching for her.
The sunlight was still glowing on the
opposite wall Of the canyon when they
came riding through the narrow open
ing, Judson Bailey in the lead. his dark
face keenly alert
At his flank rode Buck Hayden, his
sunburned countenance grim with anx-
lety. His jaws were set, and all Of
his homely features were knotted with
care.
Beth's heart quickened as they sight
ed her and whooped joyously. She
leaped to her feet and sprang toward
them.
"Ihe quicksand" she cried sharply.
You cannot cross! Lightfoot went
down there" She pointed with trem-
bling fingers at the quivering sand at
her feet.
The two men halted at the edge of
the sand and looked up and down the
canyon. Their eyes met, and Judson
Bailey's face blanched to dull gray.
Buck Hayden's jaw set firmly.
I'VE can't get her any other way
One Of us III have to cross here. Jud !"
he looked the other man squarely in
the eye.
Bailey licked his dry lips and tried to
smile. he looked at the wide expanse
Of palpitating sand and then across at
the girl

With lnuttered ejaculation Of ter

peared from view.
It'll have to come after you any
way, Beth said Buck quietly.
She watched with bated breath as
the sorrel sprang forward and then
sank on the opposite side with scram-
bling feet.
Again the sorrel lowered over the
quicksand and once more clattered to
a footing, and then slowly, with Beth

There is a thing that has long
had the sanction of usage that is
wrong, and that is fining a man
for making improvements. A
few years ago this land where
our city stands was of no more
value than SO much air. People
came here and began making i'm
prOvements, society was organ
lied and every man that put up a
stick was fined for doing SO.
The finer the work done and
the more care exercised the
greater the fine. Here is a man
that came to this country when
it was a worthless wilderness
and through his toll and slavery
has gathered several acres about
him for his own use now, and for
that of his family after he passes
out. The buildings on his place
are poor and he wants to put up
better. BY his doing 50 he
enhances the value of his own
property and beauties the coun-
try and by doing so adds value
to all the country about. See
how ridiculous the present plan
is. He has to pay for the i'm
provements by the hardest kind
Of toll, then the state steps in
and lays a heavy hand on him
and makes him pay large fine for
the good work he has done. Not
once but as longeas he lives and
if he refuses to pay the fine or
fails to do so the state steps in
and throws him out, confiscates
not only the improvements, but
the original property. That is
why the people don't want to put
money into fine structures on
Steele Avenue.
We can find no fault with tax.
