has traced. and the design fairly leaps
into being before you. The whole white
surface is transformed into an intri-
cate mosaic. The live colors blend and
burn in the sunlight The whole tracery
is as sharply outlined as though trim
med with a keen knife. Nowhere does
the pattern merge slovenly into the
background. Pure white meets pure red
or blue as though the colors were
blocks of stone cunningly ground to
fit each other. Every line and angle
has its hidden significance, but in striy-
ing to tell tribal legend with grains
of desert sand the wrinkled old priest
has caught the spirit of beauty itself
The art of sand painting is not con-
fined to the Navajos, but this tribe has
brought it to the highest pitch of per-
lection. The method in which each
painting is made has been convention
allied by many centuries of usage. The
sand painting is probably the oldest of
the Navajo arts. although it was one
OF the last to come to the knowledge
of the white man, being kept secret
even after Arizona and New Mexico
came into United States possession on
account of the religious character Of
the ceremony.
The largest and most elaborate de-
signs are drawn during the annual nine
days of religious festival. The entire
process Is under the general supervi-
sion of the shaman. or head medicine
man. The first step is, of course, the
collection of the material. The sand is
gathered by band of specially select
ed young men. They bring dry sand
from the desert in their blankets. gath
ering it with appropriate ritual A
large quantity is necessary for the
most elaborate paintings. some of
which are twelve feet in diameter. The
sand is spread over the floor of a medi-
cine lodge to depth Of two or three
inches.

sandstone of these colors to a fine
powder. Red and yellow sandstone of
surprising brilliance and purity of hue
abound in the tainted desert country.

of blush gray. All these pigments are
prepared and in waiting before work
on the picture is begun, kept at hand
on trays of bark.
The work of painting is done by
number of men who have studied its
mysteries for many years. The shaman
superintends. but himself does none of
the actual painting. The artists begin
their work at the center of the sand
circle, smoothing the surface with the
wooden battens that are used in
blanket weaving. Each man picks up
pinch of colored powder, first blow
ing on his fingers to remove any traces
slowly as his hand moves over the de-
sign. Much of il is colored simply in
this way. without preliminary tracing

pouring the same sand that makes the
back ground over the surface and paint
ing anew over this "erasure"
The artists work for the center OF
the circle toward the outer edges. leav-
ing their bright designs behind them
as they move. The conventional fig
ures in the sand are intended to repre-
sent various gods. sunbeams and light
ming. animals. plants and people. roads
and trails. \ curious feature in the
drawing comes in the tracing of the
forms OF the gods. These are first
drawn in naked. and then clothed with
Colored garments. The designs and
the order OF working are all fixed by
tradition. Even the distance OF one
figure from another is often exactly
specified. and measured off by hands
hreadths. Straight lines are drawn
with the aid of string. An inter
est ing point in connection with the eX-
actitude Of the design is the fact that
such symbolic paintings are only made
at intervals OF many months. The sand
paintings are only drawn at certain
seasons in the winter. There is no
possible way of preserving r record of
the intricate pattern from one painting
to the next except by memory. Yet
the head men say that the pattern has
not varied by a line in centuries. -

The NavaJos are not the only Indians
to make sand paintings, although they
are the most expert. as they are in. all
the primitive arts and crafts, such as
weaving and silversmithing. Many of
the Pueblo tribes also paint in sand
The Hopi are probably the most skilled
of the Pneblos in the art. Some of the
best of their work is done in midsum-
mer. by the men of the Antelope fra
ternity. The Hopi method differs from
the Navajo in that the artist begins at
the outside of the circle and works in
ward. Each of his four colors. red,
white. yellow and blue, represents one
of the points of the compass, and he
anplies them accordingly. The back
ground for the picture is prepared with
more secrecy than among the Navajos,
and when the design is destroyed
ninches of the sacred sand are laid on
various tribal shrlnes-

reached for her shrinking body. He
struck blindly at that outstretohed
arm. struck still again at Legar's face
at the same moment that Manley's car
shuddered to stop and the armed
men from its tonneau leaped into the
fight.
1t was brief fight, but bitter one,
and much of it escaped Manleys at
tention. The one thing that held him
transfixed was the sudden vision Of

the latter, breaking free from his enc

Their quarter already cut off, that mas

the water below him. Yet, as he poised
there, ready to leap, Da Espares lev
eled his weapon and fired.

OF the girl, and the shouts of the star
tied men, the great splash of the tum-
bling body as it catapultede down In
the black-running water The next
moment the captain and his uni.
formed squad from the Greenock

as Manley made his way toward the
glimmering limousine and Margery
Golden he could hear the latter's nerv-
GUS sobs as she leaned weakly against

Did you kill him?" she asked with
a voice tremulous with horror as Da
Espares stepped to her side.

The Unbldden Guest.

The gallant Count Luigi Da Espares
In view of his much-talked-of victory
on the Turnpike bridge, found himself
forced into the not uncongenial role
of hero. If that discreet nobleman
took advantage of the high esteem In
which he momentarily stood to push
through to completion certain arrange
ments for the costume ball on which
/ he seemed to have set his heart
Knowing what he knew, the secre
tary still regarded that impending
function as danger In disguise, just
as he still nursed very substantial
doubts as to the actual death of Iegar.
So fixed was Manley in his suspi-
cions, however, that he insisted on a
conference with Enoch Golden him
SELF From that conference he wrung
small consolation for his suspicious.
Manley, in fact, had given up any
hope of further argument on the ques-
ton, when trivial yet disquieting In.
cident occurred, and in occurring
brought about a slight change in
Enoch Golden's attitude. This Incl
dent involved the receipt of strange
missive bearing the signature Of that
elusive interloper in the affairs of the
house of Golden known as the Laugh
ing Mask. 1t read as follows:
Count Luigi Da Espares is not only
but'also your enemy. And
as friend herewith warn you that |
he Is not to be trusted.
Even this epistle, which bore only |
he emblem of Laughing Mask for
signature, might have been accepted

stranger, acknowledging himself to

nown voice over the wire, "but his

eiver, the deliverer of that ultimatum ,

Manley, on overhearing that declare

and made the startling discovery that
no such message had gone in to the
authorities there
In five minutes he was In his own
car, hastening to a conference with
central office itself. In another five
minutes, on learning from Wilson
over the wire that Da Espares and
Margery had already left the house in
the limousine, Marley had his car
niied with armed plain-clothes men
from the central Office and was speed-

motor could carry him. AS they swept
up the dusty approach to the bridge
they even saw that they were none
