PANAMINT JOE'S
WIDOW PENSIONED
. BY MONTGOMERY

Heroism is confined not by the
bounds of country or creed, nor yet
by the limits of color. 1t is found
in times of peace as in times of war,
Frightening the world like a sun
beam in winter gloom and saving
us from the charge that in this age
unselfishness is guaged by the jingle
of the almighty dollar alone, says
the Los Angeles Mining Review.
Deeds of heroism in battle, on sea
or land, find place in verse and in
prose, magnified thousand fold by
the imagination, which comes to us
all, quickened and intensified by the
thrill of patriotic fervor.
But it is not of the heroism of
war that this little appreciation
treats. 1t is of the heroism of
peace, heroism under the blazing
suns of Death valley, a heroism un-
studied and unselfish, a heroism
which saved from horrible death
two women who brayed the perils of
that God-forsaken stretch of track
less sand and who were brought
back to civilization by the devotion
of Maggie Maggie, the squaw of
old 'Panamint Joe," whose bones
now lie bleaching in the valley S
sands; Maggie, squaw, child of
nature, with skin of bronze and
heart of gold.
This squaw, untutored and un-
civilized as we understand the
terms, risked her life for three con-
secutive days carrying water to her
white sisters, who, forsaken by their
men folks, lay quaking and gasping
in that hell on earth. Five miles to
the spring and five miles back, this
woman of the desert toiled across the
blistering sands, under a pitiless
sun, to save her sisters from death
None but those who have knowledge
of the consuming heat of Wealth val
ley, none but those who have ex
perienced the tortures of burning
thirst, can imagine the extent Of
heroism displayed by this woman;
but those who have such knowledge
also know that the heroism of wal
or of city's streets pales into insig
nificance beside the heroism of tina
dea Hike sink where all but rep
tiliaH life is forever stilled. Actuatet
by devotion to her husband, devo
ton which spanned the chasm o
death itself, this woman to carr.
out the contract which he had mad,
to pilot a party across Death valley
forgot her own sorrow when OLE
Panamint Joe succumbed, left hi
bones beside the road and brough
her charges safely through to civi
liZation. 1t was an act of heroisn
appreciated by but few, but, never
theless, an act that has no counter
part in the development of thi
great southwest country.
There is no reward that can prop
erly express appreciation of such al
act, but for the credit Of the whit
race and for the credit of those VIII
have won fortune from the desert

The erection Of church was out Of
the question. but there stood on the
heath the .emains of an old mill, a
picturesque feature in beautiful bit
OF landscape, Inspection showed that
once the rats were got rid of com
paratively small outlay would furnish
and render the mill fit for public wor-
ship. and soon 1t was opened as the
Chapel of the Holy Cross.
The interior OF the chapel arouses
interest. Four buttresses, four feet
