LONG years ago, hefore our fathers and our fathers' fathers were bora, hut long after the Manlton had created the boiling springs and the beautiful hills and the valleys for his Children, the chosen people were rich and prosperous. Coli! and silver they llftd iii plenty and the brave ones of I he tribes wore glorious ornaments and rings and bracelets made from pure gold they took from the hills where the ManltOU had laid It. And all the chosen people were linp py, and there was plenty of food and plenty of meat and the entire tribe vaxed rich from the fruit of the plains and the gold and silver of the hills. But one day there came from the southlands strange white men, swarthy at countenance, bearing strange rods which spit forth lire and sparks and Which killed at long distance. Their clothes were strange to look upon and on their faces they grew long hair, and their language was a strange one to the chosen people, who made them Welcome and who shared their tepees with the strangers. When the strangers saw the gold and silver ornaments they became much BXCited, and by gesture mid strange speech they demanded to know where (he precious metal could be found. And there was no one among the chosen people to tell them how to go or where to find I he gold and those who knew only shook their heads and ran awiiy, for they were sore afraid. When the chosen people would not tell, the strangers became angry and turned upon them with their magic rods and from the rods came thunder and thimes, and many of the chosen race were killed and sorrow was on the land. And the chosen people ran and bid In the canyons end In the hills while the strangers roamed the land. Final ly one day they found one of the chosen ones, the son of the aged chief, and look him and bound him fast and threatened him with death unless he would lead them to the spot whence came the gold. Now It so happened that all the gold was taken from a hidden canyon and no one knew Its entrance except the chief and his sons and his family. And when the son was captured then the old chief came forth from the moun tain where he was hid and promised to take the strangers to the gold If they would spare the life of his son. Ibis they promised to do. So the aged chief led them In sor row to the hidden canyon and the strangers laughed and shouted and heat him in the buck and spit In his faOS. And when they saw the gold they shouted aloud mid each and every one threw down Ills rod and be gun to pick and dig at the shining rock where the gold was hidden. And the chief then asked the leader for his son 'hut he might lend him hack safe am, inbarmed. But the leader only laughed, and turning bis rod toward the young lad he killed him there, and then he slew the chief while all the while the others Itttghed and Joked. Bui when the Mnnitou saw the cru elty and greed of the strangers he was Tery wroth. And as they killed the Chief he sent the il.irkness. And In his anger he picked a thunderbolt and burled It earthward to the wulls of the canyon. The walls split ami slid In, and all the strangers were burled up ill the mass, and the mouth of the canyon was closed by the slide and the strangers could not get out and there the died and there was none to help them In their plight. When the chosen people saw what the Manltou had done, they fell on their faceS and thanked bin) for bis grace, Which sn v ed tin m from the cruel and grasping strangers. And there the vowed that never more would they enter the enliven wulls for fear of death. So was the canyon lost and to this da., no one bus ho n able to find Its m utb or enter t gather there the gold. Yet It Is there BStWMB the two gfSat peaks a giant Ciiiyon closed at both Its cuds. If on doubt, go firth and find It there. And If you i nter Into Its hid den depths there ffiU yen find the uiaglc rods of those who wont I. of. re. And there are riches too, for him who duds and enters In the canyon w hich is lost. BY O. W. L. (On With Laughter) R a po mobilities naturally gravitate to the person who can shoulder them.
