WERE BURIED IN PYRAMIDS
Aztec DignitarIss Had Imposing Tombs In the Little Village of San
 Juan Teotlhuacan.

The little village of San Juan Teotihuacan, which In the Aztec Ian guage meant City of the Gods" was in the early days of Aztec history the scene of extraordinary religious cere- monies. The two pyramids, one dedi. cated to the sun, the other to the moon, are known to have been the tombs In which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were buried and eXcava- tors have eXhumed wrought stone con- taining human bones. obsidian knives, terra cOtta heads with broad faces and and great numbers of arrowheads. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a jadeite mask of some past monarch. with the brow covered with the diadem known to early Mexican history. The pyramid to the sun and the one to the moon both contain chambers and their sev eral stories are complete temples ir themselves. but connected by winding stairs.
 The inscriptions having Chinese characteristics were discovered througf excavating in the ruins of what ha! generally been known as La Ciudadeli (The CitadeD, but which, according t' recent reports of investigators, ar' what Is left of a pyramid larger and perhaps. older than the two pyramids to the sun and the moon.

thought you were the prettiest girl in this town. I'd like to hear what he will have to say about you tonight in that creation"
 Gordon cupped the girls chin in his hand and turned her face to the light. "I'l swear, Peg, you are pretty, freckles and all! Look at me! Let's see your eyes p he demanded.
 Peggy felt the red creeping up from her beating throat. She put her little teeth together in an effort to keep her chin from quivering. He was so casual about it ; she must never by any chance let him know that those level gray eyes of his shook her heart as the wild March wind outside tossed the bur geoning boughs of trees. Suddenly there was a strange, dawn ing light in those same gray eyes that were so close to her own.
 "Well, they are pretty, aren't they?" asked Anne, watching the two with little knowing smile on her lips. Almost instantly, before he could frame a reply, Peggy stood up. "I'll have to run along now," she said breathlessly. She reached down for her big silver gray fox scarf that she had tossed on a chair nearby. i All at once, courage born of that strange look that had lighted Gordon's eyes for one brief second, possessed her. 'If I decide to be Mrs. Winter, Anne, shall I call you tonight, even if 1t is late?"
 q want to be the very first to know, vou dear" Anne acknowledged. "You're silly if you don't marry Jim, with his good looks and all that money. i You'll be real princess out of fairy tale!'
 "I'1l take you home," said Gordon. 1 My car is on the drive" | wont 1t make you late for your en- gagement?" suggested Peggy. "1t's nearly seven now," glancing at her wrist watch.
 "That won't matter" exclaimed Gordon mechanically.
 "I'll run her home in your car, bud," " offered Anne maliciously. "You can be dressing while I am gone. You'll have to have dinner, too, you know" | Gordon was struggling into light topcoat. "Ready, Peg?" he questioned eagerly.
 They breathed the heavy fragrance of purple lilacs as they rode slowly down the long driveway before the house. Stars glimmered brightly over- | head. A little silver sickle of a moon uuivered in the west. All the faint | sweet music of springtime saturated the soft night air.
 "Lilacs make me think of yOu," said Gordon quietly in voice that not even Peggy could mistake for a brotherly tone.
 | She clasped her gloved hands tightly 1 in her lap and looked away where swiftly moving clouds seemed to be rocking the little silver cradle of a moon in the sky.
 We've known each other ever since we could walk, haven't we, Peg? asked Gordon in voice that was still subdued.
 | She answered in a monosyllable, not daring to trust her own voice.
 "We've been great old pals, haven't we?" he continued. 1 Peggy did not answer, and presently the machine slid no.selessly to stop before the shabby old brick that had always been home to her. Boxwood shielded the driveway from the street. Gordon groped for and found one of

Robert Louis Stevenson Went So Fa ar as to Pronounce 1t "HeaVenly"

Nellie Vandegrift Sanchez, in her book on her sister, the wife of Robert Louis Stevenson, has thrown new light on the author of "Treasure Island" In August, 1879, Stevenson sailed from England, as steerage pas senger, for this country. From New York he proceeded at once across the continent to Monterey to marry Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne. In August, 1880. he returned to England to present his wife to his people. Though willing and brilliant cOnversatiOnaliSt-he had been described as "deuced expana- tory'-he expressed very few opinions concerning his first impressions of the United States. Now we have them.
 Stevenson liked our food. In a let ter to Sidney Colvin he said: "You eat better here than anywhere else; fact. The food Is heavenly" He had hardly reached Monterey before he told his friends of the wOndeful little cakes he had bought at the restaurants along the way. He meant baking powder biscuits Later he fell in love with hot tamales and meat stew and red peppers.
 He found the names of our western states-Arizona, COloradO-most poetic The perfume of the pine forest the Spanish missions on the Pacific coast the blue of the California sky and our 2O-dollar gold pieces he found beauti full beyond comparison. He was i'm pressed by the way the Indians pro nounced Latin at church service and the mechanical cleverness of our wom en.

LILACS AND A LADY.
By CRAWFORD LUTTRELL

She had loved Gordon Wilson ever since she could remember, but his at- titude toward her was the same big brother interest that he showed his own sister, Anne. He tweaked her
 ear and made fun of the little line of freckles that dusted her aristocratic- looking nose. He told her about his
 intermittent spasms of love for vari- ous girls, most of whom were visit ing favorites. In other words, Gordon loved so many that Peggy felt there
 was some balm for her own heartache
 in that very symptom. No affair had
 ever lasted long enough to cause her
 any real anxiety.
 She was having a cup of-tea with
 Anne late one spring afternoon, both
