OF Moorish civilization: "It is
something so apart so alone, this
Moorish civilization; these great
houses. this luxury of horses, SER
wants, living and leisure, this beauty
OF architecture, creating buildings
impossible to reproduce anywhere
else; this literature, bigoted and re-
stricted as It is, but existing utterly

shed a magic light of stars and moon
upon the Omaha village and there
was no sound but the rustling of
the wind and the breathing of the
horses picketed near by, two men sat
and smoked in silence in front of
Joseph's tent. One was the chief

the afternoon-the two old friends of
the old wild days when the reserva-
tion was all out of doors, the sky
above and the ground under the feet
wherever the red man wandered. Not
a word was uttered, but they sat alone
far into the night and then Joseph
withdrew to his tent while the old
man went to his near by bunk.
