Good and Bad Luck
That Cuckoo Brings

A wealth of folklore and supersti-
ton has been wound around the
cuckoo all down the ages. In the
Maritime highlands and Hebrides If
the cuckoo is first heard by one who
has not broken his fast some mis-
fortune is expected. Indeed, it is con-
sidered a reproach to one to have
heard the cuckoo while hungry.
In France, to hear the cuckoo for
the first time fasting is to make the
hearer an idle do-nothing for the rest
of the year. There is similar be-
lief in Somersetshire. In Northumber-
land one is told, If walking on a hard
road when the cuckoo first calls, that
the ensuing season will be full of ca
lamity; to be on soft ground is a
lucky omen.
The cuckoo is one Of the shyest of
birds. He is not frequenter of thick
bushes, like the warbler tribe, but
takes boldly to the trees; and yet he
is but seldom seen. His loud call is
an incident of courtship. The hen
birds are supposed to hear many
singers before they choose a mate,
and apparently choose the loudest.
But though the male cuckoos are sell
dom seen. the hens are even more
rarely met with; they have not the
betraying call, and are less often in
the Open Their time. not filed up
with nest-building, is occupied IN
searching for eligible nests Of other
birds. An instinct induces them to
make this choice from those of birds
whose food would nourish the young

Little Journeys in
Americana
Fate of Cynthia Anne Parker
By LESTER B. COLBY

DOR nearly hundred years now
the tale of the kidnapping Of Gym
thia Anne Parker has been a favor
ite story around the firesides of
Texas. Cynthia Annes parents, with
a small group of friends and rela-
tives, settled in 1888 on the Navasota
river, not far from the present town
of Groesbeck.
One bright May morning in 1886
war party made up of fierce Co.
manches, cousins of the Navajos,
swept down upon them and murdered
them all. That is, all except Gym
thia Anne, who was twelve, younger
brother, and two or three who es-
capped. The two children were car
ried off.
For many years after that rumors
seeped into the settlements, telling of
a white girl who rode swiftly with
the Comanches. She was blue-eyed.
Traders, occasionally in contact with
the nomadic plains tribes, now and
again set eyes upon her. Once a
party met her face to face but she
remained dumb in their presence.
They tried to tell her of her rela-
tives, but though she listened, they
could not get her to answer them.
Finally she grew up and became the
wife of Peta Nocona. Nocona, in the
passing of years, was elected chief.
She bore him children.
Once, after she was married,
group of white men who visited the
COmanche camp, asked her If she
would not like to return to her peo-
pie. Pointing to Peta Nocona she
said, "He is my husband. love him."
And pointing to three naked little
red-skinned children padding about.
she added: "And those are my babies.
1 love them, too. No, no. Ny place
is here"
Comanches were restless, fierce,
swift-moving savages. They were bet
ter at home on horseback than any,
where else in the world. They could
not resist the Joy of making forays
on those ranches which were the out
posts of civilization. Thievery, espe-
cially horse stealing, was an honor
able business among them.
So it happened that command of
soldiers under S. L. Ross, later gov
ernor of Texas, surprised Peta No
cona's band one day in 1860. Ross
himself, in individual combat with
Nocona, broke the chiefs right arm
with a pistol bullet. Ross described
the death of Nocona, thirty years
afterward, as follows:
81 then shot the chief twice
through the body. He walked delib'

ual did not know, happened to be in

he refused, with contempt, and tried
to run me through with his lance
which he held in his left hand. l

and his wife and child captured with
in his sight.
"Yet he was undaunted and pre-
ferred death to life. I directed my
Mexican servant to end his misery
with a charge of buckshot."
Cynthia Anne was brought to CIV
ilization and turned over to her uncle,
Col. Isaac Parker, living near Wealth
erford in Parker county, named
for the family. The rest Of Cynthia
Anne's story is touching.
After twenty-four years with the
Comanches she could not return to
the life of the whites. Many times
she tried to run away. Her family
watched her, hopefully but in vain.
Her heart bled for her tribe and her
babies. Finally it broke. She died
in 1864, literally heating herself to
death against the bars that held her.

"Ararat, capped with eternal snow,
has a certain austere beauty from
distance; but on close inspection it
discloses little to endear it to be-

Armenians have called it. Owing to
its peculiar porous structure the wa

"Ararat is difficult to climb and for
ages the Armenians asserted that it
was systematically guarded to pre-
vent any man from gaining it's sum-
nit. When it was first scaled in 1929
by Parrot, the Armenians insisted that
he was lying. A number of mountain
climbers have since reached the top
and in 1850 Russian engineer passed
five days there making trlangulation
observations.

an eruption of considerable magni-
tude in 1910 from an old crater on the
side. The village of Arguri with 1000
inhabitants, on the lowest slopes was

upon Arguri as the oldest village in

founded when Noah planted grape

their 6rst experience in adjusting them
selves to the long hours in the school
