Hut til 'ir life was rich in legend and tra dition stories handed down from gen eration to generation until they came tn be a part of that great mass of ma terial which, for lack of better name, we must call aboriginal literature. These ancient warriors knew noth ing of reading and writing. Put they were philosophers in their way, even as they were students of nature and teen observers of everything about them. Like children they were curi iiis and lacking fact they wove their own theories concerning the life they lived and the environment which they knew. Today the Indian rapidly Is disap pearing. Swept away from his nat ral haunts by t lie white man, he re mains a mere remnant of the great race which once knew no superior in nil the great region. Put the legends -nil live; monuments lo the philoso phies of Hie tribesmen who gave them birth. til' all the Indian legends now ex istent, none is more interesting than the Navajo legend of creation. Here :i is as (Old Hie writer by Navajo Bill, v. In. in turn had it from the Navajo Chieftains whom he knew fifty years ago when first he visited the reserva tion which has since been his home. In t lie dim and distant ages when time was young the Navajos lived In ii world of darkness, deep Under ground, Then there was no sunlight t.. bring warmth and joy; no bright rays of sunshine lo make the com grow or the fruit ripen. There was no night ami no dny, for all was darkness mi. I even the beasts and Ihe birds were unable lo see their way about; but Could only wander in darkness, know ing not whither they went or how they came. in those days the Navajos wore un happy, lmt they knew not how or where to turn to become happy, lint one .lay a warrior, more bold than the others, set out on a journey to Mud a Dew boine for himself and his people. 1 g be urged the other chieftains to ac nipany him but they were afraid, so dually be went out alone ami unac companied. Cor many .lays be wandered in the darkness, stumbling over hill and dale, through water and over high places, until lie was nearly exhausted. Bui stiil he kept on, and finally he looked up, and there, far above him, was a hob , and through the hole a faint light was shining and a single star looked down upon him in all its radiance. And Hie warrior was much pleased. So, with the light of the single star to guide him, he gathered together many trees. And he killed a deer ami , with the skin of the deer be bound the trees together until hi' had made for himself a great ladder; and then, ; ( limbing the ladder, he finally reached the ceiling of darkness and through the bole be looked into a new world. When he had rested, he climbed through the hole and into a new world j a world of silver light and Shadow where all was not darkness, but where lie was able to see objects about him. Ill this world there was a moon, and j slurs to light the way and there was I no darkness, but a silver light from i Hie stars and the moon that made a v orld of twilight and evening. But the warrior was much pleased- -for he had never known a greater light than tllift. So he rested and feasted and slept for many days until he became lonely and net bought himself of his tribesmen who had remained behind. So he gathered together a great Join die of moonbeams and, with these on on his back to light the way, he de- j s. ended again into the world of dark- ss, and willi a light heart went In search tif his tribesmen. When he had returned sejalu his tribesmen gave him a great welcome, i f..r they though! him lost, and they made him chief of the tribe, end when 1 !.. ,iad told them his sjory. appointed 1: in a guide to lead them to the now ...ild where there was moon and stars and light ami happiness. WheD, by and by. the tribe had I. ached the ladder, they climbed Into the new world one by one, until they were all there warriors and squaws and children: and all the beasts ami the birds, too, they lifted up with them Into the new world; w ere very happy. Ihe name of the new vv lied "Kaieia.", nod to th v bO had b it them there they n one of "Chls-Chll P Co." So It was that the Navajos. who tve'e our forefathers, came out of the vv .rid of darkness Into the world of tw lllght SATURDAY SPECIAL The heaviest shoe used in the army.
