 Then they were all outside in the pale gloom under the trees. Yaqui mounted Blaneo Diablo; Mercedes was lifted upon White Woman; Lash was already upon ,his horse. which was as white as the others but bore no name, Ladd mounted the stall lion Blanco Torres, and gathered up the long halterS of the two pack horses Gale came last with Blanco Sol.
 AS he toed the stirrup hand on mane and pommel, Gale took one more look in at the door. Nell stood in the gleam of light, her hair shining face like ashes her eyes dark. her lips parted her arms outstretched. That sweet and tragic picture etched its cruel outlines Into Gales heart. He waved his hand and then fiercely leaped into the saddle
 Blaneo Sol stepped out.
 Before Gale stretched a line of nov ing horses, white against dark shad- ows. He could not see the head of that column he scarcely heard soft hoo:hcat. A single star shone out of rift in thin clouds. There was no wind. Tl.e air was cold The dark space of desert seemed 10 yawn. To the left across the river tiickered a few camphreS. Tie chill night, silent and mystical, seemed to close in upon Gale; and he faced the wide, quiVer ing. black level with keen eyes and grim intent, and an awakening of that wild rapture which came like d spell to him in the olen desert.

and the knife edged lava. That Yaoui did not mount Diablo was still more significant. Mercedes must ride; but the others must walk.
 The Indian led off into one of the cray notches between the tumbIed streams of lava At the apex of the notch. where two streams met, a mar row gully wound and ascended. Yaqui led Diablo into it, and then began the most laborious and vexatious and painful of all slow travel.
 The disintegrating surface of lava bed was at once the toughest the hardest, the meanest, the cruelest. the most deceitful kind of ground to travel. The fugitiyes made slow nrogress. They picked cautious winding way to and fro in little steps here and there along the many twists of the trail. up and down the unayoid- able depressions, round and round thef holes. At noon, so winding back unor itself had been their course they ap-| neared to have come only short dis tance up the lava slope.
 IT was rough work for them it was terrible work for the horses BlancoI Diahlo refused to answer to the power of the Yaqui He baked, he plunged. he bit and kicked.

 The lava caused Gale toil and worry and pain. but he hated the choyas. He came almost to believe what he had heard claimed by desert trayelers-that the chova was alive and leaped at man or beast Certain it was when Gale passed one. if he did not put all attention to avoiding 1t. he was hooked through his chaps and held by barbed thorns. The pain vas almost uncomfortable. II was like no other IL burned, stung. beat almost seemed to freeze. It made useless arm or leg. It made him bite his tongue to keep from crying out Ii made the sweat roll of him. It made him sick.
 Moreover bad as the cnoya was for man, 1t was infinitely worse for beast A jagged stab from this poisoned eac- tus was the only thing Blanco Sol could not stand Many times that day, before he carried Mercedes, he had wildly snorted, and then stood trem- bling while Gale picked broken thorns from the muscular legs. But after Mercedes had been put upon Sol Gale made sure no choya touched him.
 The afternoon passed like the morn ing, in ceaseless winding and twist ing and climbing along this abandoned trail. Gale saw many waterholes, mostly dry, some containing water, all of them catch-basins. full only after rainy season. Little ugly bunchedl bushes, that Gale scarcely recognizeoI as mosquitoes, grew near these holes; also stunted greasewood and prickl!' pear There was no grass, and the choya alone flourished in that hard soil
 Darkness overlook the party as they unpacked beside a pool of water deep under an overhanging shelf Of lava It had been a hard day The horses drank their fill, and then stood pa. tiently with dropping heads.

leading role of the first named play
while an all star cast will be in the

MESSENGERS OF SPRING

1t was just a, little bluebird,
That arrived one April day,
Bringing the Joyous message
That Spring is on the way.
1t was only pussy willow,
A furry, soft little thing,
But it foretold warmth and sunshine,
And the balmy days of Spring.
Twas a ripping little brooklet,
That paused in its onward flow,
To tell of a breeze from the southland,
That was melting the ice and snow.
Bluebird and willow and brooklet,
Bach in its winsome way,
Tells a tale of newly awakened life,
And Springtime's glorious day.

THE GOOD SAMARITAN

And behold lawyer stood up to tempt
Him:
Master, to inherit eternal life,
To secure the all-power ever-rife,
What shall l do in this mad world of
strife?"
The Master, then, unto him softly queried:
"What containest The Law? What finds
thou there writ?
Statutes and commandments dost thou in
terpret;
Then, how construest thou, how readest
thou, IT,"
The tempter quoted, with voice commits
crate:
"Thou shalt love, with all the beats of
thine heart,
With thy soul entire, not merely in part,
And with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind,-
Thy neighbor as well as thyself in kind
The Lord thy God, Omnipotent Being,
Supreme Artifcer, Eye-All-Seeing."
And He said unto him: chime answer is
right;
Thou shalt live, my son, secured from al!
plight,
If thou dost but do this with all thy
might"
But cen to the Master, with lawyer-like eye,
This tempter must sorely himself justify:
"Who is my neighbour how dost he quail
ify?"
The Master replied, parable citing:
"A certain man, from Jerusalem trav'ling,
And proceeding afoot toward Jericho,
Fell among robbers and misfortunate woe.
They stripped him and beat him and left
him half dead
Along the roadside which to Jericho led.
By chance a curate, who was passing that
day,
Saw him; but he crossed DER to the other
way.
Likewise, Levite, when he came to the
place,
He. also, his conscience was led to abase."
"But certain Samaritan, journeying,
Unmounted his beast, hearty succor to
bring
He, moved by compassion, the wounds
gently bound,
Applied balm to the sores the pain to con-
found.
Then, propped on the beast of the Samari-
Together they went to a neighboring inn
Where the poor man was left in care OF
the host.
The Samaritan, departing without boast.
Paid the pence that was due. Take good
care of him.
He said. Pll pay the cost of the interim
(Which, thinkest thou" then demanded
The Master
Proved neighbor to him that met with
disaster?"
"He that showed mercy,-that did char
acterize,"
So answered the tempter, love-light in
his eyes.

thou likewise" S. H.. F.

Still we are of the opinion that Charles
Ray is better actor than he is a director
and that he would do we'll to confine his
endeavors to that for which he is pecu-

sagacious director while he has never
threatened his brothers popularity, so as

A reader has taken issue with our pre-
diction that F. Scott Fitzgerald is due to
pass from his place in the sun. Perhaps
we did not make our stand clear. We
admit a liking for "The Beautiful and
Damned" and we join in the sycophantic
acclaim, but we remain firm on our ad
vanced opinion. Fitzgerald belongs to the
Jazz Age, in fact he is its one outstand-
ing figure, with the possible exception of
Dorothy Parker. The Jazz Age is becom-
ing past history, and Fitzgerald will re-
tire to place with other celebrities of
the hour. He will write more novels, but
none that will rival those that have gone
before. His latest "The Vegetable" is
now on the market and it is not listed as
a best seller Perhaps we are wrong.
Fitzgerald is a very young man, and so
are we, and the younger generation is
clannish so we do not wish this young
Moderns decline.

What boner to pick the Bostonians to

Perhaps, but we will wait and see.
