Just Before It's Bedtime
HOW ARR WON.

a RI was only eleven, But he was
"a slender. and his brown skin
1 shone like satin in the hot Mex
lean sun. And his long, black
hair hung below his waist.
He lived up on top Of what Is called
by the Mexicans a mesa, which means
table In English. This town was built
BY the Indians of Mexico on the very
top of huge, fiat rock that rose
straight up out of the plains. All around
the sun beat down on the level fields,
but high up on top where the town
stood, it was very cool. The top was
broad enough to hold dozens of houses
and hundreds of people lived there, 60
ing down to the earth by means of steps
cut into the sides of the rocks.
1--WE have made our homes up here
out of the reach of those who would
harm u.s." the head men would say. And
here they lived for years as happy as
could be, the men going down to the
plains each day to hunt and plant corn.
Arr, though-very young wanted to so
with the men. When they. set out one
day for big bunt that would take
them Tar out Of sight. But his|fathef

II cannot leave the town alone, and.
besides, your mother is sick" said Arts
father, who was chief. But i will give
you a post of honor and leave the whole
town in your care. You know that the
Apaches, who are very cruel Indians.
might come while We are gone-rsee that
you save the town and protect the wo-
mend and children"
So the men all climbed down the rock
and rode away until they disappeared.
And Ari stood upright watching them.
The old chief had not really believed
that the Apaches were about, when he
told Ari to watch them, but he did 1t
to please the boy, to make him think
he was holding an important place. But
Ari thought there must be some reason
for what his father had said.
So that night, when all were asleep he
stole out from the mud house in which
he lived and went to the top OF the rock
20 the very edge where the steps We're
cut by which the people climb. He
Law down on his stomach and looked
over into the plains below. BY the light
of the stars he could see a dark shadow

1T Is the Apaches." whispered the
boy to himself. They have found out
that the men are gene. and are COM
ing to creep up the steps in the rock.
What can dor For a moment he was
afraid. but only for a moment. Spring
ing up he stood to his full height and
shook his first at the shadow galloplng
over the plain.
IT will show those Apaches that
am a man, that the son of the Mexican
chief can defend his home" he cried.
Then he dashed back to his house and
feathered all the arrows he could find.
With the speed of the wind he flew to
the top OF the rock. The shadow was
almost at it's foot. Working like mad
he rolled huge stones and broken
bricks to the edge just above the steps
Here ne piled the rocks, and then lying
down, peeped again past the steps He
could see the Indians getting off their
ponies. Presently. in single file. they

climbing with hands and feed and hold

backs.

each moment going faster. IL struck
the first Indian, rolled over him and
dashed on down. crushing down every
one Of the Apaches in its path. Down,
down. 1T swept, and with 1t fell also
the warriors.
When Ari looked over again he could
see still figures below. but no signs OF
life. And over the far edge of the
plains the sun was coming up.
That afternoon the Mexican men re-
turned to find the dead Apaches at the
foot Of the rock. And to hear Ari tell
of how he had saved the town. Ten of
the best of the Apache's ponies were
given to the boy. And in the council
around the fire that night he was given
big war-bonnet. and told in the pres
ence of all the tribe that he was in
future their boy-chief.
