the Taos valley. Mr.. Sharp had paint
ed Indians in Montana before coming
to New Mexico, but after beginning
work on the Pueblos he apparently de-
cided to seek no farther for models or
settings. His work is recognized for
it's faithful reproduction of the real In
dian characteristics as we'll as its high
artistic merit, and it will prove a val
liable addition to Indian records for
the future; for the old-time Indian as
a type is certainly doomed to disap-
near. Even the New Mexican Pueblos

conditions with the least possible
change in their old customs. are fast
developing into a changed type Mr..
Sharp arrived on the scene early
enough to find the field practically un-
touched. the Indians self-unconscious
and Taos undisturbed by any ripple of
progress. A group OF his pictures in
the Smithsonian testifies to what ex-
perts think of them as Indian records;
there Is collection of over a hundred
at the University of California. To-
day a small exhibit of his work is at

Another early conner to Taos was

esuue figures that such work brought
him into contact with down on canvas.

pueblos for material, but Taos remains
the artistic headquarters for the state.
It would be possible to go on down the
list of the Taos artists and cite half
dozen more whose pictures have been
given place as works of the first order.
but the examples of these men are
enough to show that the Taos colony in

ward, she seemed to pluck the candle
stick from the air, and with move
ment of her eyes she commanded
Sydney Thames to follow her.
The moment the eyes of the woman
turned from his, Sydney Thames
shook off the spell of them. He was
himself again. But there was no turn
ing back now. He would see all there
was to be seen, hear all there was to
hear. There was no thought in his
mind of danger. The hanging candle,
the crow, the cord he saw that had re-
leased the swinging velvet curtain over
the door, were all parts Of the charla-
tan's stage setting. A fortune-teller,
clairvoyant. He could take care of
himself, and he would have even more
information than Thornley, Cotton ex-
pected. He had failed in the first part.
He would more than make up for 1t
now. So he followed her.
The room they entered was but a
counterpart of the hall on a larger
scale. The same velvet wall covering
with the strange silver figures was
there. stuffed owl perched on a big
cabinet in a corner. A skull gaped
grinningly from black wooden table
in the center of the floor. Silver
scarabs spread their wings over the
black wooden chairs. A typical clair
voyant's room, thought Sydney. and
cynical smile came to his face for
an instant. He had seen them before.
Did the woman hope to impress him
with such tawdry fake? Did she think
to frighten him with her spirit mani
festations? That was the old, old
game. The Prophet! Bah!
He pretended semihypnosis as he
seated himself in the chair which a
motion of the woman's arm indicated

eyes fairly, but every part of him was
fighting against them now. The sur

The remarkable eyes of the woman
closed the head with its white hal

writing hoax. But the single candle,
the old, old woman with her silver
sandals and black satin dress, and
tho crow were uncannily impressive.
With the closed eyes, the age-lined
face of the woman seemed softer, the
repellent expression melted into peace,
repose. The regular breathing was
that of a little child. 1t was impress
sive, Jut Sydney refused to be i'm
pressed. Cotton had explained to him
all the tricks of the spiritualist char
latan: the magnetic rappers, the thin
wires that tilted tables, the false black
cardboard on which the slate writing
was written, the tricks of lights that
produced diaphanous spirits with In
dian names. This would be the same,
despite the elaborate stage settings.

Strange combination" mused the
blind man. The feeder had brought
more information than he had ever
hoped for. So the girl and the dead
man who had been at the table in the
restaurant and the woman with the
face of terrible age had been together
in the house toward which they were
going. The blear-eyed guide had seer

the charlatan. Who were they? Who
was the woman; the director, the con.

buried herself here in this part of the
city? She was no common fortune
teller, dependent on the tricks of the
trade to bring her dollars. Why the
dead man in the restaurant? Why the
girl whose hand had broken the steam
of her wineglass?
Here's the place!'' The blear- eyed
man stopped before the brownstone
steps between the rusty iron rails. The
windows, with their shutters hanging
awry, still gaped emptily. "I'll ring
the bell fer you"
He started up the steps; then the
unaccustomed sound of an automobile
horn in the street caused him to turn

saw the car, and he spoke for the first

He knew, too, that the sudden fear
had been inspired by the coming au-

had followed the night before.

and darted away, a string of oaths
trailing behind him as he disappeared
into a dark alley.
The low. black car drew up to the
curb.

are you doing in this section of the

blind man quietly, but there was a big
question in his mind that demanded
