currence put an. end to these sacri.
fices in 1878. For a long time, it ap,
pears, opposition to the custom had
been growing among the Indians, but
superstition kept them obedient tc
the priests.
Finally young man, of high rank
in the tribe, named Petahlayshahrho
determined to strike a decisive blow
As the ceremony of. sacrifice was
about to be performed he interrupted
the proceedings by suddenly cutting
the captive loose from her bonds
carrying her swiftly through the as,
tonished throng of spectators, mount.
ing his horse with her and galloping
away.
When out of reach of pursuers he
gave the girl horse, and boldly re.
turned to his tribe, declaring his I'm
alterable opposition to the continue
ton of the bloody ceremony. Being
famous warrior, and nephew of the
chief of the tribes, he found influen.
tial supporters, and the sacrifice was
never again performed by the Paw
nees.
The ritual, without the sacrifice
however, continued, and later an at
tempt was made to revive the sacri-
flee, and the thongs now in the mu-
scum were prepared for the purpose
But they were never used, the opposi.
ton proving too strong for the
bloody-minded members of the tribe
who wished to renew the killings
The thongs were kept in the family
of the man who made them, who was
known to the whites as White
horse" a.
When Pethahlaysharho visited
Washington in 1921 the ladies of that
city presented him with a medal in
commemoration of his bold defiance
of the worshippers of Mars. Many
abhorrent details of this sacrifice as
it was performed by the Aztecs have
been preserved by the Spanish chron-
iclers. In Mexico one of the cere-
monies consisted of a contest be-
tween a captive bound by thong to
huge stone disk, and compelled to
defend hi'-,self with a club against
tour full-armed warriors, two dressed
to represent jaguars and two to rep
resent eagles.

One of the most curious facts in
the history Of superstitions about the
stars and planets is the worldwide
recognition Of Mars as the god OF
war; For no plausible reason ex-
cept for his persistent red color, the
planet that circles between the earth
and Jupiter has everywhere and in all
times been regarded as typifying
strife and bloodshed. Even the as
Economical symbol for Mars, a circle
with an arrow emerging from it, has
been supposed to have originated
from the combination Of the figures
of shield and an arrow.
One Of the latest indications Of the
universally Of the choice Of Mars as
the representative in the heavens OF
the spirit Of war is shown in the re-
searches OF Messrs. Wissler and
Spinden OF the American Museum Of
Natural History concerning the Paw
nee Indians.
These Indians had ceremonial
system, under the direction Of PRIESTS
III which certain stars and planets
stood for gods, and among them was
god Of war, which was called the

The girl hung up the receiver and
stood thinking for moment before
she went to keep another appoint
ment. She was model, a very good
model at that, although she was not
beautiful. She was the kind of girl
that people notice. She had strong
features and well-shaped head, and
she had been posing for several years
successfully, but with little or no in
terest for her work.
In short, she had not found, her
self. She was restless and discon-
tented. She wanted something that
she had not discovered, and she found
her work often extremely irksome.
Her work consisted mostly of
pretty girl heads for magazine COW
ers. She posed, gazing dreamily out
of a window, holding a rose, as a
bride, in all sorts of positions that
artists called good sellers. Her life
had been fortunate in that it had
been free from sordidness. The men
with whom she had come in contact
were a decent sort, in earnest about
their work, and treated her with pro-
fessional courtesy.
Oh, yes, posing was easy enough.
There were not the many pitfalls
waiting for the traditional model of
fiction as authors made out. A girl
can always be decent and keep her
self-respect 1t isn't the life that
matters; it's what's in the girl; what
she really is. But the real, danger
lay in the fact that one was apt to
drift.
The girl never felt that she was
getting anywhere. There was moth
ing about one day of work to dis
tinguish it from another, and she
wanted to make good; to feel that
she counted in the world OF people.
At 1880 on the following morning
she reported at Dick Vars studio.
The girl hardly knew the young
artist, but from certain sharp deduc-
tons that she had made she decided

hour, and when almost dried place
on the top tray Of the oven, and put
fresh lot on the bottom shelf. The
secret of the whole process is to be
as slow as possible. When the oven
is in use, the peas can be placed in a
sunny window. When the peas look
dry put them in cool place to get
cold. When cold, store in wide

vestigators think was Mars. To this
bloodthirsty deity human sacrifices
were offered.
In the museum, among many other
interesting specimens shedding light
on Indian history and customs, are a
pair of thongs consisting of buffalo
hide, painted red, and adorned with
beads and rattles formed from small
deer hoofs, which are said to be the
last that were made by the Pawnce
Indians for use in the sacrifice OF a
captive maiden to the war-star.
When these ceremonies were per-
formed the Pawnees lived in Ne
braska. They have since been re-
moved to Oklahoma. ...
Messrs. Wissler and Spinden be-
lieve that the ceremonies were de-
rived from the Aztecs of Mexico, and,
as far as known, they we're not prac-
ticed by any other Indian tribes living
within the territory now embraced
by the United States, except, posi-
bly,, in New Mexico and Arizona. The
plan was to send out war parties to
capture maiden from another tribe.
She waS carefully guarded, but
treated in other respects as a god
dess, until the moment for the sacri-
flee came
This occurred when the war-star
occupied certain position in the
Sky at the dawn Of day. The victim
was tied to frame of poles and
cross-pieces, her hair being bound
with the thongs already mentioned.
Then she was shot full of arrows and
her heart was offered to the god Of
war.
