Young Durham glanced down at
the cloth of the girls gown, and was
startled to find the same rich creamy
coffee tint in its silky folds; yet she
did not show by so much as flicker
Of an eyelash that she was passing

Why should she want to disap-

and with as much interest as a
stranger would be likely to show.
Il cannot imagine" said the old
man speculatively. "She apparently
had health and happiness, if one may
judge from her appearance, and she
came to me of her own free will

a low voice.

several seconds; but the young man

not give attention to the story Mrs

The White Sands

Beautiful Sands of this Western
Land:
Sands of the lonely, wide prairie:
Whence comest thou? Where thy
magic wand,
That planted thee here, Wonderful
Sands!
Art thou lost child of Sahara?
Didst thou the watery waste roam
alone,
To this wonderful cline, Prairie,
To find, and build thy sand dunes a
home?
Like silvery ribbon, orange bloom,
Jus: lost from the sheeney altar
At the foot of San Andreas Noun
tains,
Where the Organ music winds bring
down.
Soothing thee in thy pure, white
stiffness.
Shadows rugged, as the sun goes
down,
Thou sleepest: Yet toss thy white
sand dunes
In restless number as Old Time
travels,
Leaving thee still ever the same:
Beautiful Sands, thy story unravel!
Tell thy mission to wondering man:
That he may master, and not mar
vel,
Over thy presence! Wonderful
Sands.

To leave the quiet, enchanted spot,
While the bars of a golden sunset
Tangled in the rugged mountain top
And the shadows DER the valley
crept apace,
Wrapping all in all in mysterious ST.
lence
This quiet, seemingly sacred place.
Then a sweet voice caught my list
ening ear,
Borne on the sough of a gentle wind
Which said: II am one of Gods
mysteries;
For the use of man I am planted
here:
The one who unravels this mystery,
My usefulness to man make clear,
Shall have his name written in His
tory:
For | my sand dunes will turn to
gold,
Under magic touch of Genius hands
And will to the great, new-West
unfold
My fabulous wealth" Thus saith the
Sands.
Shadows deepened: | turned with
a sigh.
Retracing my steps along the lane,
Which led me back from under the
sky
Leaving alone, wrapped in Mystery's
Band.
The Beautiful Sands of this West

AMUSEMENTS.
The ScllltbCItS,

The Schuberts have shown AL
amogordo that they are eminently
quaIitied to bear the name Of the
great musician which they have
adopted-and do it honor.
They have been in Alamogordo
and we are theirs.
The musical given by this talent
ed organization at the Christian
church Monday evening was not
only treat-it was a feast. Noth-
ing even approaching it in merit
has visited us for long, misty
months. No like organization to
visit us in the future will eclipse
their entertainment.
Mr.. Thos. V. Purcell, violin and
mandolin soloist, is in every sense
OF The word a master of his ins.Td-
ments. In the parlance OF the pro-
fession, he adheres to the "legit-
mate'-he does not have to re-
sort to trick fiddling to entertain
He plays real music; and, believe
me, he simply revels in il-and 50
does his audience.
Leeta Gordon, the soprano, sure
ly must have been taking lessons
all her life from the sweetest song
birds in Gods great chorus. Her
singing charmed: it electrified: it
soothed. Such range, such sweet
ness, such mastery of voice has
rarely been heard off the metro
politan boards.
The contralto of LOWE Zendt
Purcell was brimful of sweet and
harmonious sounds, in the quar-
tettes and choruses. and her solo
work was captivating.
A most agreeable diversion was
the reading of Blanche Fox. Her
selections were designed to direct
her hearers along lines followed
with greater ease. Her hdmor was
scintillating, infectious, satisfying.
Come again, Schuberts!

The most striking feature of the

1t is the farmers of the country,
the agriculturists, the sheep and
cattle raisers, those who cultivate
the soil or derive their living

bill to largely give up such meas

During the last twenty years on

94,446 trespassers were injured max
ing a total killed and injured of 1S1
379.
or this army of killed and injured
25, 900 were young people under IS
years of age, who resided in the vi
cinity of the accident, and many OF
this ndmber were under 10 years of
age. Think OF it, %, 900 young lives
sacrificed needlessly 120,103 of
the total number We're citizens of
che locality in which the accident oc-
cured, and most of them were wage
earnelS. Contrary 10 the general
opinion only 1926 We're tramps ant
noboes. The underlying reason OF
this tremendous sacrifice of life
and limb is, that this country is the
only civilized one in the world that
does not prohibit trespaSsing on The
railroad tracks.
SLrict laws should be passed max
ing il a misdemeanor TO trespass on
railroad tracks or yards, and after
they are passed they should be rig
IDLY enforced by the judges all over
this country. OF course, it seems
hard to fine some poor person for
walking on the track, but this seems
TO be the only way that the public
will be led 10 realize its danger and
stop trespassing. 1t would cost the
public less to enforce such laws than
it does to pick UP and bury the dead
and care for the oripples, and until
the public learns not to trespass on
the railroads OF this country, this
frightfdl carnage will continue.
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
are very backward in this respect,
that they have no alws making il a
misdemeanor TO Crespass on rail
road tracks. Isn't it time that the
right-minded people of these states,
in the interests of humanity, should
get together and pass such laws?
Let the public remember 10 fol-
low these few simple suggestions,
and many lives will be saved:
Never walk to and from your wor
along the track.
If you must cross the track alway
stop, lCok and listen.
Under no circumstances allow you
children to play around the tracks
or trains, or they may swell the list
of the kileled and crippled.
Never seal a ride on a moving
freight train in order to get home
sooner. for If YOU do YOU NAV ar
