in thought. There is really nothing
to hold him to the mission, he thinks.
But soon he arrives at another conclu-
sion. The padre has told him that his
God is mightier than all others to-
gether. How this can be Is as yet not
quite clear to Juan, but the padre has
such a convincing way of saying this.
that after all there may be something
in it. Still he does not fear this spirit
very much; what he really is AFRAID
of is the padre. He is such a power
ful man, being in direct communica-
ton with the spirit. that his wrath is
liable to reach Juan no matter where
he may go. Then, there are the SER
vices at the chapel. He is rather fond
of them. and what is more, he would
find scant welcome with his tribe. So
Juan stays. Ultimately he is married
to a maiden of his own race and be-
comes a fixture at the mission.

the converts assemble under the trees

the scene with the singing Of canti-

direction of Spain and Mexico and
seeks the comforts Of his pallet.

There is beautiful Seneca story of
the origin of corn in Canfield's
Legends of the Iroquois," as follows:
Long and earnestly a young brave
wooed beautiful maiden and at last
gained her consent to live in his wig
wan. Fearing that she might be sto-
len by one of her many admirers he
slept by night in the forest that he
might be near to protect her. One
night he was awakened by a light
footstep and, starting up, saw his
loved one stealing out of her lodge
as sleep walker. He pursued her,
but as If fleeing in her dreams from a
danger that threatened her life, she
ran from him like a fleet-footed hare.
On and on he pursued and finally
drew so near that he could hear her
quick breath and the rapid beating of
her heart. With all his remaining
strength the lover sprang forward and
eiasped the maiden's form ls9. to hi his
astonishment when he found that his
arms clasped not the maiden, he loved

had awakened just as her lover over
took her, and frightened at her sur
