CHRISTMAS FEAST FOR BIRD
feathery Tribe in Bosnia Not Forc3
ten-Food Placed Near Nests
and Shelters.

HRISTNIAS is not merely q
EHV' festival celebrated by and
" for man alone. Among tle
folklore of other countries
are several quaint stories
In which animals and birds give evil
dence of their alteration? A we'll
known Bospian legend offers version
of world-adoration. They claim that
ION the holy day "the SUN in the east
bowed down, the stars stood sill: the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS.
and the green pine tree bent; the
grass was be-aowered with the open
ing Of blossoms; incense sweet as
myrrh pervaded upland and forest !;
birds sang on the mountain tops and
all give thanks to the great God"
In Bosnia on Christmas Day sheaf
Of rye is put near birds nests and
bird houses for the birds Christmas.
An old Indian legend SAYS sthat on
Christmas night all the deer5in the
forest kneel in alteration before the
Great Spirit. Woe to him, however,
who tries to spy upon them. He is
punished with perpetual stiffening Of
the knees. 1a
Many people Of the Old World
claim that on Christmas night animals
are gifted with speech, but none must
trespass or eavesdrop.
Many and many haYe been the tales
which account for this robins red
breast. In great many parts of Europe
he is called the Sdvior's birdseand a
story is told that when the Christ vas
crucified the robin, unable to stand
His suffering, ventureda to, pluck the
thorns from His head. In doing so,, the
blood stained the robins breast, which
sign he wears today ~;.-.T =.

Tor their own prosperity by aiding the
development Of efficient methods OF

banker. There is no such thing as
detachfng the interests of banking
from the interests of the people.
Therefore, within itself the Asso-

! Involuntary cry so rare with him, a
cry somehow always associated with
DEATH. Gale shuddered.

the stone. 1t was a belt buckle. He
threw out old shrunken, withered
boots. He came upon other things,

Then the keen-eyed Yaqui reached

box! Was it only the influence Of
the Yaaui, or was there nameless
and unseen presence beside that
grave? Gale could not be sure But
he knew he had gone back to the old
desert mood. He knew something
hung in the balance: mo accident. no
luck. no debt-paying Indian could ac-
count wholly for that moment. Gale
knew he held in his hands more than
gold.
The box was a, tim one. and not at
all rusty. Gale pried open the re-
luctant lid. A faint old musty odor
penetrated his nostrils. Inside the
box lay a packet wrapped in what
once might have. been oilskin. He
took it out and removed this covering.
A folded paper remained in his hands.
It was growing yellow with age.
But he described dim tracery Of
words. A Grabbed scrawl. written in
bloodr hard to- read!. He held it more
to the light, and slowly he deciphered
it's contents:

CHAPTER Xxx.
Desert Gold.


A summer day dawned on Forlorn
River, a beautiful. still, hot. golden
day with huge sail clouds of white
motionless over No Name peaks and
the purple of clear air in the distance
along the desert horizon. -
Mrs. Belding! returned that day to-
find her daughter happy and the past,
buried forever In two lonely graves:
The haunting shadow left her eyes.
Gale believed he would never forget,
the sweetness, the wonder, the pas
sion of her embrace when she called
him her boy and gave him her bless
ing. r~
The little wrtnkled padre who mar.
ried Gale and Nell performed the
ceremony as he told his beads, with
out interest or penetration, and went
his way, leaving happiness behind.
"Shore I was sick man." Ladd
said, IAN darn near a dead one, but
I'm agoln' to get well. Mebbe I'll be
able to ride again some day. Nell, I
lay 1t to you. An I'm agoin' to kiss
you an wish you all the Joy there is
in this world. An Dick, as Yaqui
says, she's shore your Shower of
Gold"
He spoke Of Gales finding love-
spoke Of it with the deep and wistful
feeling of the lonely ranger who had
always yearned for love and had never
known it. Beldins, once, more rrae
tical, and important as never before
with mining projects and water
claims to manage, spoke Of, Gales
great good fortune IN the 'findfng of
gold-he called it desert gold.s
"Ah, yes Desert Goldr" exclaimed
Dicks father, softly. with eyes Of
pride. Perhaps he was glad Dick had
found the rich claim; : surely she' was
happy that Dick had won the girl he
loved. But It seemed to Dick himself
that his father meant something very
different from love and fortune in his
allusion to desert gold.
Yaqui came to Dick to say good:

could not withstand the assault made on
them by n combination Of Democrats and
Republicans when the House Monday. by
vote OF three to one. added $l5.OOO.OOO to
the amount carried in the army appropria-
tion bill for river and harbor Improvement.
Incidentally. the Republican leadership in

vious session.
The amendment 10 increase the lump
sum allotment from S27635,260 to S42,-

hours debate, in which the supporters OF
the increase were charged with inconsis-
tency III voting TO reduce appropriations for
the army and navy, while voting just the
other way on a river and harbors bill affect

accentuated the prevailing jealousy between
committees under the new system of au-
thorizing appropriations. Just as the House
Military Committee stood out firmly. but
rutilely, against reduced appropriations for
the army, so the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee' fought successfully for AN increase
for rivers and harbors Improvement
Since great many OF those who voted
for the increase for rivers and harbors sup
ported the indefensibe reduction in the size

justly lies against them. The result of the
