Indian Merry Making at Taos

Mrs c. R. Miller Tn Leslles B.
 During a journey through the practi- cally unknown southwest somebody sug- gested that I go to the ancient city of Taos for the feast of San Geronimo. You won't find photographing these Indians an easy job. but if you succeed you will get something interesting. Taos is the ancient pueblo about 30 miles from Santa Fe. and reached by a highway which Is only trail over stony mesa
 Somebody called out that the dance was at the south pueblo and there was rush across the logs which served as bridges over the little stream which runs through the reservation There we found per- haps a hundred Indians wrapped In white muslin robes and carrying branches of trees in their hands They were making a weird noise and jumping up and down as they marched around the pueblo. It was a strange scene. The movement Of their bodies was slight, but the express sion on their faces and the low gut teraI utterances showed suppressed emc- ton. and suddenly. directly in front of where I was standing one of the older warriors fell to the ground in an epileptic it. He was at once carried into the pueblo and the medicine man summoned The dancers, however. were not disturbed and the uncanny performance went on for 15 minutes longer. This was merely the prologue to the feast of the morrow, The foot races were hotly contested by the young braves of the two puenlos rhe participants were naked except for . kilt about the loins and were decorated with feathers in their hair, on their arms and their ankles The race Is run in a peculiar fashion. When the judges give the word two men dart from the course nearest tho pueblo and run swiftly to the other end. The instant the leader reaches a certain stone at the end Of the course another man of his clan takes up the race and rushes past him on the home stretch This is kept up until all the contestants have had trial-the final victory being victory for the clan and not for the individual runner. The pueblo winning the race is entitled to keep the statue of St Geronimo for the following year.
 Early in the afternoon the Indian clowns known as the Delight Makers, rush suddenly from the pueblos, Their faces and naked bodies are smeared with paint and their hair entwined with corn husks. Nothing is sacred to their touch and they will steal fruit from vendors wagon and perhaps after taking mouth frl spit 1t at some visitor. They object to being photographed, and when one saw me in the act of making his picture he came at me with rush yelling in a savage fashion. was sitting on log. and he sat down beside me so close that I narrowly escaped falling off. He yelled and gesticulated. but I sat perfectly still and pretended not to see him. The man who had sold me my permit came up behind and said something Finally he left, but all during the afternoon when ever I attempted to take picture dirt was thrown at me and all tho curses known to their savage trs dtions were wished on me. The Delight Makers beat tin pans at horses and caused several runaways. and frightened children al- most into spasms

for at the sergeant's desk when the
call came in was Dick Annessley, a
cub reporter of the Observer, who
Immediately scented a good story and
followed the police to the scene Of
the crime.
With them he arrived after the doc
tor, and made himself busy taking in
the surroundings and particularly in
admiring Philippa. Mr.. Bentley vOlun-
teered the information that the last
person seen with Mr.. Brewster was
Peter Hale, and Philippa corroborated
his story that there had been high
words between them.
The whole affair seemed so open and
shut that there was nothing to do
but arrest Peter. That young man, pro-
testing his innocence and asserting
that he had parted on friendly terms
with Mr.. Brewster, was nevertheless
locked up for the night but to one
person at least his blamelessness was
established. Mr.. Annessley was con,
WINGED that Mr.. Hale was not the guilty
party.
Mr.. AnnesSley, on leaving the Hale
apartments, had been accOsted by q
yelled lady, who begged him to keep
the story out of the Observer, and
promised him in return the biggest
scoop his paper had ever had. He
, smiled at this-it sounded familiar
and then, with a seriO-cOmic look al
the agitated young woman, he proceed
ed to the Brewster house to look fol
further developments.
A surprise waited him there. One
of the policemen explained to him thai
having gone into the room few
minutes after he had left they ha(
found it empty-Hubert Brewster haC
vanished into thin air and there was
nothing to show where he had gone
/ or by what means or when.
Meanwhile Peter in a cell was try
ing to solve the puzzle.
A note was thrust into Peters vision
some time later and the hand that CAV,

Peter looked he saw the mark Of {

its words stamped themselves on hi

He was able to sleep, and the next
morning, when he was arraigned he
gave a simple but convincing account
of his interview with Mr.. Brewster.
Mr.. Bentley, as Philippa's fiance, was
in the room. He said nothing, but a
malignant sheer curled his lips as he
listened to his rivals story.
"And what have you to say, Miss
Brewster" asked the judge.
"I-why Mr.. Hale and my father were
on the best of terms, just as he says.
l can't imagine such thing as a quar-
rel-they had nothing to quarrel
about"
Mr.. Bentley started. He stared at
Pbilippa as though she had lost her
senses, and then he stared at Peter,
whose eyes frightened at this testi-
mony, which went far to free him.
eff you want me-" he said, "you can
always find me. l shan't run away"
As he paused at the bottom of the
steps Philippa joined him.
"Aren't you coming" demanded Mr..
Bentley, who was now white with
anger.
mo, I will see you later at the
house." answered the girl. "At pres
ent l have something to say to Mr..
Hale" and she deliberately walked off
with him.
Mr.. Bentley stored up his wrath all
day, so that when evening came and
he presented himself before Philippa
he was in no mood for compliments.
"Why did you give such conflicting
testimony this morning?" he asked.
"This morning? What do you mean,
Brldgey? I'd like you to understand
that I haven't been here since last
night. I've been kidnapped and I've
just got home"
"What-are you crazy?"
"Not exactly" replied the indignant
girl, "but / do think you could take
little more interest in me and not
sit there and accuse me of something

; peace, and then turned to his fancee
