The Na- vajo woman appears shapeless, ror •modesty forbids her to outline tnee figure or expose her person; but, though burdened with these heavy garments, she, nevertheless, rides and moves with the flock and performs labors that would tire most men. Mert and women and even children wear a profusion of silver, turquoise, and shell jewellery and ornaments, b3. which the social standing of •the wearer to some escent may be judged. The tending of large flocks of sheep and goats, the shearing, wash - and preparation of wool, the making- of blankets. and the cooking of two meals a day occupy all the time of women and children. The m.en, less Industrious, bring 'in wood when, as so often happens, fuel is scarce and distant. A very few men become silversmiths. Those of a serious and intellectual turn became priests or medicine men — that is, herb and ceremony , doctors, leaders of ceremonies, for which a severe training is required. As among the Pueblos, a vast amount of energy is expended by men in .preparations for "sings" and the ceremonies for heal- ing. But most of the men are busy grooming, riding, trading, and herd- ing their horses. The man's, import- ance is reckoned by the number of his horses. The wives own the sheep, the wool, the blankets, and the chil- dren. As a ,consequence the reserv- ation is overrun with many more scrub . mustangs than they need or can use, even though every man, wo- man, and child from babyhood, rides a pony, and in so' vaata, country needs more than one mount.

But the leopard does not Invariably have the best of it. There are several well -authenticated lesta.nces of such a night -marauder being surrounded and torn to pieces. Another enemy much dreaded by baboons inhabiting the warmer localities Ais the rock - python. But there are instances of even the python being 'destroyed. by the combined fury of a troop, All snakes, whether poisonous or riot, are equally feared by baboons. This is somewhat trange in view of the circulasta,nees that the Iatthr can at once distinguish between berries hat are wholesome and those that are polsoeous, even though they may never have seen them before.

She crept cautiously around the corner, feeling her way inch by inch - until she reached the spot where Rand had taken out the rocks to get under the piazza. It had seemed simple enough as she had watched him, and Gay felt she could easily do the same,„ thing, and alias obtain a view. of the interior, perhaps confirm- ation, or denial, of her fears. But or all the strength of her young arms for all the power of her stubborn will, she could not so much as stir tha sinalh:st of the rocks, which were now deeply ',wedged into the frozen soil, packed solidly, presenting a firm ancl immovable barricade to ehtrance under the piaz'za.

At last she de- cided to go down into the cove, to examine the great door and look for a light b en eat h the window cu r tai 05, Getting into the cove itself was very difficult, for the crevices among the rocks were eovered with snow, and she was obliged to claw her way alodg, hand over hand, souriding with her feet for standing ground.
