feet on the ground. They recounted
the times she had danced, and with
awe in their eyes, told again and
again how they had left the fighting
men to watch her nimble feet and
could not say why it was that she
had drawn them so.
OF the deserted bridegroom and the
empty wedding tent they did not
speak. only shook their heads dumbly
and could not understand. Their
hearts were warm for Marcu, but
they did not offer words of sympathy,

and whispered that Consuelo had
better not come back, that surely he
would kill her; that only his fingers
upon her throat crushing out her
life could wipe away this insult that
she had flung upon him. y
But the Dummy could smile when
he thought of her and his thoughts

There was no wife of March, to haunt
him, only the gay figure he had
painted. Always she would look
down on him from the side of the
van, for he vowed to himself to keep
the paint alive as was the image of
the girl in his heart.
He longed for her, missed the
hours they had spent together. 1t
was as if q part of his life had been
taken away. But deep within him he
knew one thing and so he was con-

had gone or where she was, she had
said to him, kiss and fOrgive-and-
she was not the wife of Marcu. So
he smiled at the picture. his soul in

This is notable date in American
history, of course, because from Mex

settle in California, New Mexico. Ari-

was responsible for the fact that Old

colony was established in the New
World
Cortes' conquest destroyed an ear

were systems of low and high courts
of justice in which the magistrates
were bound by judicial oath; prohi-

WHAT DOES YOUR NAME MEAN?


The derivation and meaning of pro-
per names is a very interesting sub
iect and one which many of us know
very little about. Nearly all of the
proper names which one hears now
are derived from similar words in
the Latin, Greek and Hebrew Ian
guageS. Before these names came to
be applied to people, they had very
definite and suggestive meanings.
Here are few names; maybe yours is
among them.
The name George is derived from
two French words-gaia meaning
earth and the root of ergon meaning
work. The French interpreted this
combination to mean husbandman.
The feminine diminutive of the same
meaning is Georgia.
John comes from similar words in
the French, Greek and Hebrew Ian
Guages. It's literal meaning is, God
is gracious. Diminutives of John are
Johnny, Jack, and the feminine, Jane
and jeanne.
Margaret comes from similar words
a pearl. The English have coined
in the Latin and French and means
many other words from it, some of
them are May, Maggy, Meg. Meggy,
Peg, Peggy, Meta and Greta.
Ann is derived from the French
Anne, the Greek Anna. and Hebrew
Hannah. It's literal meaning is grace.
Other words having the same root are
Annie, Nancy. Nanny, Nan and Nina.
Susan, a name not as prominent
now as it once was, comes from
French Greek, and Hebrew words all
meaning lily. Names of the same de-
rivation are Sue, Suke, Suky Susie.
and Susy. If you want to find out
some of the traits, ideas and feelings
