INDIAN CUNNING IS
PUZZIANG TO GERMANS

The American Indians in France
quickly adjusted themselves to the
conditions OF the country. They soon
became just as cunning as in their
native western haunts This is il
lustrated by an incident which oc-
Cured when the Germans were with
drawing across the Marne. Indian
scouts, with Americans, were sent
over the river to ascertain the Ger
man movements and other details.
At one crossing three Indians i'm
rrcvised a raft and chained 1t to the
north side OF the Marne. They hid
the raft and then started on an eX-
ploring expedition The Germans
discovered the strange footprints on
the river bank and came upon the
raft. They waited the Indians re-
turn. But, after reconnoitering, the
Indians approached their hidden
craft, cautiously. and scenting trou-
lie made q hasty retreat
The Germans realized that the
strange red men were not Of their
kind, and must therefore be an enc
my, and began firing. The Indians
ran through the woods like deer. and
finally struck for the water in an
endeavor to reach the south side.
These Indians, reared along the
rivers, swim like Hawaiians and are
able to remain below the surface for
a long time The Germans saw
splashes in the water and began fir
ing. The Indians dived and swan
downstream under water. When they
came to the surface for air they
brought up a handful of clay which
they grabbed from the river bottom
and with this they camouflaged their
hands and faces while on the surfaca
Tor a brief breathing spell.
Finally the Indians reached the
south bank far below the Germans,
the current assisting them. Then
they crawled back and peered
through the bushes aad watched the
Germans seeking the bronzed figures
who apparently had been drowned.
The Germans. thoroughly angered,
shot the raft to pieces.

stealthily out OF the tail of her eye.
1t was creeping. forward with a
sneaking, cat-like movement, but
it was not coming directly toward
her. The girls head turned, fol-
lowing the animals advance, but
her body was still like the stiff,
motionless cactus beside her. Her
fingers frightened their grip on the
knife and the breath came noise
Iessly through her parted lips. In
a flash her mind took in every de-
tail of the situation, the yawning
chasm q few feet in front of her,
the ragged mountain at her back
and the crouching beast advancing
stealthily over the sand. All the
fierceness and cunning Of the des-
ert-born animal was reflected in
the tense suppleness of her pose.
Only one thing puzzled her, and
that was the direction of the pam
Tiers advance. She was losing
the yellow form in the deeper
bushes at her back. Suddenly
there was a scuffling and swapping
in the shadows, a mans low curse
and the ripping Of the panther's
claws against coarse clothing. In
a moment two bodies rolled strug-
Cling on the ground beside the
girl. She saw the mans arms
tense and knotted against the
beasts shaggy breast. She saw
his brown hair.
pierre, Pierre" she cried,
breathlessly. He, too, had been
lingering at the old trysting place.
The claws were buried in the
mans shoulder, the grinning mouth
was reaching for his throat, but
the brown arms with their rigid
muscles held the creature back.
The mans strength was being
tested to the uttermost. His body
swayed above the brute's. His
hands clutched the straining neck.
They came nearer, almost against
the girls feet. She saw the mans
arms bloody with cuts and
scratches, his face white, his teeth
set; she could hear his hoarse
breathing. AS they turned toward
her she plunged the knife into the
panther's taut, yellow throat.
The angered beast whirled about
suddenly, dropped the mans Shout
ders and sprang upon his new en-
envy. The girl crumpled under his
weight, the knife fell, her hands
clutched blindly at the open jaws.
The man jumped to his feet. The
panther leaped forward against the
girls body. and the two, struggling
together, lurched over the cliffs

not anything" she muttered.
The truth was slowly becoming
real to her. and it came with the
weight of death itself It. was hard
TO believe after the beautiful
dreams-so hard. There would be
nothing more TO be happy about.
She would have TO marry Petro as
her father wished Duro, her pony.
and the new saddle would be his.
He would beat the little Duro when
he was drunk, and her, too, he
would beat her, of course, when he
was Jealous and angry.
At the thought of the ugly Mex
lean sutton her face broke into
quick angry frowns. She pulled
her long braids over her shout
ders. Pierre had patted them once
as she rode behind him and she
had blushed foolishly. She hated
herself for those bushes. And
when his hand had CHANGED to
touch hers on the saddle-horn, or
when he had leaned over her, help
ing her to read the English books,
she had trembled with a new and
delicious joy.
She had taught him to know the
desert and the mountains. He was
often reckless in his ignorance.
Once with ner lips she had drawn
the blood from a rattlesnake bite
on his arm, and Pierre had called
her a brave little nurse. They had
ridden for hours, for days together
under the open sky. Often they
had sat here among the rocks be-
fore the cliff. He had called it
the edge Of the world" Once
when she stood very near the per-
ilous brink he had caught her back
suddenly, tenderly, and her head
had rested for a moment on his
The Washington times., 1918-11-03

He shall not co. she repeated.
She sprang to her feet with a
swift, easy grace. She was strong
and supple and closely knit. Her
slender, rounded figure was as full
of life as an antelope's. 1t was
this Astounding vigor that had at
tracted the man she had grown to
love. II had held him in spite of.
the difference in their breeding.
Sometimes its grip was stronger
than the call of generations Of civil
lization and environment. She was
so simply and so wholly a woman.
And her mind was ready and eager
to follow his.
Sometimes he had wondered IL
she might not learn his way Of
life, but that was only when he had
grown delirious with the sense of
her. When he had weighed the
matter in soberer moments he
knew that this was impossible,
that it would mean his coming to
her level in the end.
Upon his return to the plains he
had steeled his heart against her
and she had felt the change in her
first keen look. The desert wild
ness had not robbed her Of the
subtle intuitions Of her sex. He
did not see the fires Of her hate.
She mid them under the heavy
dashed eyelids, and she sifled the
hot pain in her breast. But the
fires Of hate were burning and the
pain in her breast was not dead.
Twilight was creeping up the long
valley and the girls figure was
blurred against the dull back
ground.
HE shall not CO." she said again,
and gazed over the edge of the
cliff where the tiny gold locket had
gone.
Then suddenly she stood erect
listening. There was the quick,
soft steps Of padded feet among
the cactus bushes, a rustic, and a
low growl that sent a chill through
the girls warm veins. She sprang
to her feet, 1.-THE, quick-eyed and
alert. There was no mistaking the
sound. 1t was a panther. She felt
in anticipation the sudden crush
ing Of mouth and claws. upon her,
and every muscle was nerved for
resistance. But the beast seemed
to be parrying an assault, and she
peered into the cactus jungle at
her back.
Through the branches Of a dwarf
saguara she caught sight of a long,
tense body crouched close above
the ground. She watched 1t

the twilight come.
She had listened to his talk of
his own people, of the cold Win

the strange, noisy cities. She had
listened with her heat beating fast.
her eyes upon his face and her
ears filled with the music of his
voice. They had seen the stars
come into the deep dark sky and
had watched the blue and purple
shadows that cling along the edge
of the world" after sunset. Once
a mountain lion had crept upon
them and Pierre had shot the crea-
ture with her gun. He was care
less about weapons himself, and
often went unarmed even after
nightfall.
Then he had gone away. His
letter came explaining his hasty
leaving. He would come back
soon. How she wept over the let
ter and the desolate loneliness that
came with his absence. But he
would come back, and she waited.
She had borne her fathers
drunken scolding and Petro's hate
full presence, and she had been
happy through it all. Now the
thought Of her happiness was more
bitter than the memory Of her
misery. He had come back and it
meant nothing to him. He had
played with her and then cast her
aside, as she would gather a yell

throw it away, thirsty and help
less, on the hot sand. The girls

her low dark brows and pulled the
small silver-handled knife from her
belt.
HE shall not go back" she said,
softly. Her fingers stole along the
sharp blade, testing its keen edge,
and her lips parted in a cunning
smile. It was the kind Of smile
that flashed across old DieEo's
heavy lips when he was not drunk
enough to be stupid and not sober
enough to be lazy. Cuma had
hated her father for that smile.
Once he had stabbed a half-breed
cow-puncher because the man re-
fused to trade ponies with him,
and Cuma watched the wretch reel
from his saddle, cursing. She had
forgotten the ugly horror Of it now
and remembered only the quick,
soft thrust of the knife.

Ventura crouched in the warm
sand. leaning her head against the
rough rock at her side. Behind
her were thick short cactus bushes
growing in scattered clumps, and
back of these the sides of the
mountain rose, steep, Jagged and
barren. The rock was warm
against her cheek though the sun
was an hour below the Gaudaloupe
peaks and the cactus shadows
were growing darker on the long
slopes. The air seemed heavy with
silence. No bird sang. A vine
gerone slipped under a stone at the
edge of the cliff.
The girl sat quietly, her head
bowed. The heavy, dark braids
were bound with bands of glitter
ing beads. Away in the distance
sounded the faint tinkle of sheep
bells and the dull barking of dog.
At these sounds the girl raised her
head. She snatched from her neck
a small round locket, stared at the
trinket a moment as it lay in her
hand, and then flung it over the
cliff into the chasm below. Her
slim brown face was flushed; her
eyes were large with pain, but
there were no tears in them.
