Eerie Tale

Evil One, but to burn a
candle, if they will, for the
salvation of the soul of the
Princess Dahut of the lost
City Of Ys-the city which
lies on the bottom of the
Bay Of the Dead.
It is a curious fact that
a living horse and a living

along that Breton road on

I was good mother be-

highest joy and duty. 1 had
my boy because I wanted him.
He owed me nothing when he
came into this world. And I
remained his debtor all his
life. Nothing that I could ever
do for my son could possibly
equal that which he did for
me. He was the loveliest thing
that ever happened to me.
The years we spent together
were filled with poverty and
pain and the dread of ap-
preaching death. Yet, in spite
Of that, motherhood was such
a great adventure that the very
memory of it enables me to
walk proudly and gratefully
through these empty days.
WHY SHOULD I EXPECT
REWARDS FOR AN EXPE-
RIENCE LIKE THAT?
Why should the world set
apart a day to honor women
who have already known the
deepest honor, the most ex-
quisite delight that life can
bring? If anyone should go
around wearing carnations as
an expression of gratitude, it's
the mother-not the child.
However. I wouldn't outlaw

But the sea followed
them fast and rose to the
horses shoulders, and q

to cast away the demon he
held in his arms. Obeying
the voice he hurled his

Let us today take up the
story of San Salvador as we
continue our explorations Of the
Central American republics.
We wrote last of Ell Salvador,
its industries, its scenic gems.
And San Salvador is capital
worthy of a beautiful and pro-
greSsive country.
If one arrives at the harbor
of La Libertad the drive to the
city is through an exceedingly
interesting and scenic route,
over an excellent road. Miles

mary in this part Of the world.

An Up-tO-Date City
The keynote to the city Of
San Salvador is set by q
grand golf course and perfectly
appointed and equipped coun-
try club, built in a smart sub
urb. And so it isn't at all
astonishing to find San Saliva
dor very up-to-date with fine
roads, avenues tree lined and
filled with fine residences, ex-
cellent hospitals, fine schools
and splendid modern buildings.
There are many parks and, of
course, the plaza is we'll fea-
tured.
There is a very smart hotel,
the social center of the city,
where everyone meets everyone
else and the stranger is made
to feel at home. And shops,
there are plenty Of them, where
the finest that the United
States and Europe has to offer
may be purchased at reason.
able prices. And it is interest
ing to note that the smart
women Of Ell Salvador are very
partial to the very charming
sports clothes produced by
manufacturers in Southern Cali
fornia.
The market, Of course, Is al
ways a focal point Of interest.
Natives line the narrow streets
leading to the market, squat
ting on the curb and mutely
offering their wares, pottery or
woven goods.
San Salvador Is flooded with
sunshine, although the city Is
at an altitude Of some two

But there is often surcease
from the glare Of the tropical
sun as dark clouds obscure the
sun and a tropical shower
floods the streets, to pass as
quickly as it came.
OF course, everyone visits the
Parque BarrioS, the most I'M
posing of the city's parks, and
- these are itinerant photogra-
pliers to make quick pictures OF
your visit, an always WORTH
while souvenir. At night the
city cools off and everyone
drives out into the park, the
fashionable streets or to the
hotel. Life flows easily and
happily.
Each day more travellers are
setting out to see the Americas
and become acquainted with the
various Central and South
American republics. One could
write endlessly about the
beauty to be seen in our sister
republics, so much so that it
is very difficult to do justice
to even the smallest country in
whole series of articles.

anything else in the world and

Ell Salvador, one could explore
for weeks and still find some
thing new and exciting.
Ell Salvador has IA volcanoes
and uses the volcanic ash for
the soil, thus getting the best
out of what is really an adver-
sity. One Of the volcanoes, the
Lighthouse, has a perpetual red
glow and is constantly visible
at sea. Two mountain ranges
with several spurs cross the
country, making fertile valleys.

simply grand, ranging from
junglelike growth of luxuriant
beauty to well-ordered, perfectly

turned to another.
The last of her lovers, a
handsome, foolish fellow,
persuaded her to steal from
her sleeping father, King
Gradlon, the silver key
which locked the great
sluice gates in the walls
which held out the sea. In
idle folly they opened the
gates and the sea rushed in.
A voice in the night reused
Gradlon from sleep and
bade him fly for his life.

the wicked daughter that

Every human being has, or

being is entitled to a free
buggy ride through this vale OF

should pay her way as well as
a married man.

A FATHER.
But do you hear anyone
shooting off fireworks just be-

Papa? No you don't.
There is, to be sure, a Faith
er's Day. But that's just to
use up the Christmas necktieS
and the rest of the carnations.
No one really means it. No
body really thinks that Father
has done anything unusual If
he spends 80 or 40 years of life
at uncongenial labor to sup
port the Missis and Kids.

That's a strange story, a
weird story, that comes to
us from Brittany, in France.
Breton fishermen of the
Bale des Trepasse-the Bay
Of the Dead-have heard,
night after night, as they
made their way from their
fishing boats, along lonely
dark lanes, to their thatched
cottages of stone, the on
coming pound Of the iron
shod feet of a galloping
horse.
Pausing in the darkness
by the wayside hedges,
holding their breath, they
have heard the clatter of
hoofs of a hard-ridden
horse come nearer and
nearer, heard the horse gal
lop past them in a rush
of sound, heard the high,
terrified scream Of a
woman, heard the rapidly
diminishing pounding Of
hoofs lost in the silences of
the night. But they have
caught never a glimpse of
horse or rider-not one.
