CHAPTER XVIII
"CoId Lambe!"

| "COIo EdmDoI"
Lady Diana might have been the
original of that tedious young woman
who was described by the poet as
"divinely tall and most divinely fair"
] She was without doubt strikingly
, beautiful, type Of the large and very
pale blonde. But an atmosphere Of
| frigidity surrounded her, which many
people found repellent
"My dear aunt" she said calmly,
entering the drawing room and kiss

her brothers cheek with her lips.
"You will have a clear field for your
Investigations, my DEAR" said Lady
Erythea, "and I hope the advances
you have made in psychic science
withdrawing you to terms with the
ghost. But I doubt 1t. By the way,
your cousin Aimee is here, as 1 told
you. But she Is unwell and is keep
ing her room. I am rather anxious
about her. Incidentally, we shall have
another guest; I expect Monsieur de
Jussac today"
Alexander left the room.
Monsieur de Jussacp exclaimed
Diana. She paused. Lady Erythea
watched her somewhat keenly. what

"He is very anxious" said Lady Fry
thea glibly, "to examine the Lambe

Of mail which is believed to have been
captured at Crecy; there Is tradition
that 1t belonged to one Of the De JUS
sac family"
Lady Diana looked incredulous.
"And 1 understand he Is interested
in psychic matters, and anxious to i'm
prove his knowledge"
"That is something in his favor"
said Diana with suspicion.
II expect that is his car" said Lady
Erythea.
A rakish automobile Of semi-racing
type was observed sweeping along the
park drive. The Vicomte de Jussac
had motored direct from town.
A minute later he presented himself.
Bertrand de Jussac was tall, and for
his age, rather full-bodied. His COM

material appearance. he had undoubt-

amiable of you to invite me-"
Lady Erythea bestowed on him the
smile she reserved for elder sons.
Charmed to have you. You know my
niece. surelyT
Bertrand's little start Of surprise
was admirably done. He. bent low
over Diana's hand, but refrained from
kissing 1t.
But this Is delightfulp exclaimed
Bertrand. "You told me In town, Lady

from it. After the ceremony / was
asked to make talk to them and an
interpreter was sent for Afterwards
the Indians asked me many questions,
many Of them relative to theology,
such questions which would lead me
to believe they were seeking for
knowledge along those lines and COM
pairing their beliefs with that Of the
white man.
Il found that they were very much
exercised over the 'Smold' snake
dance given at Prescott by white men.
They believed that it was a sacrelig~
eous ceremonial, gotten up for the
purpose of ridiculing and bringing
discredit upon their religion The
chiefs were very much worked up over
the 'SmokI dance and wanted to know
whether or not there was some way
of stopping them Their attitude to-
ward this 'Smoki" ceremonial COM
vinced me that their ceremonial
prayer to the Great Father for rain
and bountiful crops, was a real liv-
ing religion to them and they resent
ed the action of the whites in putting
on a similar ceremony to make fun OF
them" declared DIR. Marvin.
"While in the kiva l saw no at
tempt on the part Of the Indians to
break out the fangs or doctor any Of
the poisonous rattlers; however, ana
inclined to believe that the handling
of the snakes, getting them to strike
at the whips, thus dissipating theig

One Indian drew huge bull snake.
He had hard work getting him be-

the snake wrapped around his neck
and face several times, completely
covering the Indians face. The ac-

when it came. time to discard the
snake, had to take both hands to tear
him away.
Harold Bell Wright, the famous
novelist, and his wife and son, were
among those who attended the snake

Slipher had charge of the supper. On
the dance committee were Mrs. A. H.

Mrs. J. p Wilson.
The dedicatory ceremony was brief,
but interesting. M. /. Powers, presi-

each in a few words warmly congrat-
ulated the people of this city for their
public spirit and upon the ownership
of the beautiful new park and build

the able and prompt way in which
they had carried the improvement

ARIZONA'S GREATEST
CHANCE TO DEVELOP
CONTINUED from Page 81

electric power must be furnished from
the development of the Colorado. It
must and can be furnished to factories
in Arizona cheaper than it can be to
those in southern California. Then
all the cotton, wool, copper and other
products of our state can and will be
fabricated here.
"There is eminent engineering au-
thority for the assertion that on the
Colorado river in Arizona outside of
the Grand Canyon National park there
are 100000 continuous horse power
going to waste. The total power used
in Arizona is about $4,000 horse
power and in ten years, according to
careful estimates, will not be over
$50, 600.
"By refusing to sign the pact or by
delaying action, Arizona is positively
cutting off the biggest natural re-
source within her borders or in the
nation, for that matter. All Of the
most feasible power sites on the river
are located either wholly in Arizona
or are shared by Arizona and Nevada.

The many friends of Alvah Nc
Cauley of Garland Prairie, are sorry
to learn of his accident at Maine last
Monday. In crossing the railroad
tracks in his car, he failed to see No.
/ approaching until the train was only
about Is feet away. Alvah applied
the brakes, but it was too late. The
train struck and demolished the auto,
and severely injured Alvah, who has
broken arm, and is thought to be
injured internally. He was taken to
Williams, where he is being treated
and cared for. The trains from the
east run down grade in entering
Maine, and when driving towards
Maine from the south side of the rail-
road it is difficult to hear or see, ac-
count of the trees and buildings, an
approaching train.
w. e. Morgan is making arrange
ments to accommodate the large
crowd expected at the big barn dance
in Garland Prairie on Saturday eve
ming, September 9th. The barn is 46x
46 feet, so unless the crowd should
be larger than last year, which num-
bered over one hundred couples, there
will be plenty of room and a good
time for all.
There will be picnic dinner at 6
o'clock, followed by a good live dance
in the evening, at the Pittman Valley
school house on next Saturday eve

THE BUSINESS FUTURE

Some people feel that the recent
market means that the financial ex-
pronounced decline in the stock
Experts fear the business future. 1t
Toes of course suggest that some
)cople foresee business decline.
But the opinions of the specula-
ors are often wrong. 1t is for
heir interest to have prices move,
md if they can't seem to advance
he market, then some element is
lrctty sure to try to move it down
ward, making such use as it can of
he fears of business men and in
festors. Such decline is more or
ess artificial and almost invariably
socs too far.
OF course European conditions
till constitute to some extent a
disturbing factor. Those countries
ave had to cut down their pur-
bases of American goods. But
business men who have travelled
>ver there find conditions improV-
ng. Their purchases of us are
likely to increase. Even if our i'm
>orts exceed our exports, this would
uggest that those heavily indebted
countries are paying something or
heir obligations, which is a favor
lblc factor.
The ordinary indications by which
people forecast business in this
,ountry arc very favorable. The
actory people have been all at work
1t good wages and must have 8
good amount of money. The basic
industries are very busy. Many
farmers still feel poor, but their
condition is much better than in
1921. There are no big stocks in
he hands of merchants. There is
sufficient capital to finance business,
which is tremendously favorable
actor, when you remember that the
high interest rate was an important
element in the collapse of 1921.
Altogether conditions look good.
1t would seem as if the recent Slight
wave of pessimism meant merely
that the country is getting its breath
for a fresh start.

George Belts had the rare capae-

abled his own county of Turner to

4 veritable guide for otier Southern
ounties. And as president of the
Georgia Association he moved far
dong the road toward sounder
arming and banking and better liv-
ny conditions in a state that, like
many others, sorely needed all
these.
He could make men believe. Per
APPS this was because he had no ak
o grind, perhaps because he urged
,nly simple fundamentals and held
ut no glittering promises. 1t was
ne sum of all these qualities that
Inspired one editor to say, George

BOOSTING COUNTRY PRODUCE

The people who live in the coun-
try around Leesburg, have much
to gain by making this community
their trading center. When they
come in and make friends with our
merchants, they make them their
to help in developing the surround
allies in all their projects They
will end these business men ready
ing country. Many who need more
capital to enlarge their enterprises
will be able to borrow money here.
If there is need of further organi-
alton for marketing farm products
our business men will be glad to
help.
Every one of our business men is
interested to do all he can to boost
the reputation of the people who
come in here to trade. If farmer
has some speciality he is trying to
sell, he will find that the friendship
of our live business men is very
practical help in getting customers.
