The brown men watched them carefully, spoke frequently to cach other, showed them a fairly smooth path, Bob held Mary Me- lissa's arm all the while, to aid her.

At least he told her so; ac- all the at any- I'm unkempt not to mentiecn her weariness. "No," she declared, smiling, "I'll never be sorry." * * * Another Tribe' The walk wasn't very long. With that sudden surprise with which a train emerges from a tun- nel, the strange party turned an angle in the cave and blinked at daylight. Near the exit-they saw other things, too; mostly great baskets and jars, and some stacks of animal skins. The area seemed to be a kind of storehcuse. Bob's interest mounted rapidly. "We've surely stumbled onto another tribe of Indians," said he, "and lucky. for us. They're some tribe ' strange to me, but probably a few of them speak . English. We'll come around here again and investigate. I thought I knew all about this border coun- try." Heralds evidently had hurried --ahead with the news of the white couple, for as they emerged from the cave, blinking and squinting, they saw some dozens of men, women and children hastening to- ward them. They, too, were all brown. Bob and Mary Melissa instant- ly noted the complete absence of any evidence of "civilization." 'In dress, posses¢ions, manners, even speech, these people were some: thing from another century, from somewhere back in the middle ages as man reckons time, lish?" Bob called. ' Evidently no one did. All stop- ped tdlking, and stared. He tried again, ! "We are hungry. Please give us food, and water." He pointed to his mouth, and to Mary Me- lissa's, They understood that, At least one dignified elderly man did, He spoke a few words as if in com- mand and two women hastened away. Shortly they were back . with earthern bowls, both water and food. The food was a thick hot gruel of corn meal, with some pieces of meat.

He be- thought himself of another funda- mental in human nature, and so took his shiny gold watch from his pocket. - With some show. of pomp, he it out and walked to the man who had ordered their food. The brown man accepted it, evi- dently with high pleasure. . Instanly the visitors were for gotten while the natives gathered around the shining gift. "They don't even know what a watch is, Bob!

CHAMBERS RASPBERRY SEASON AGAIN Of course you are planning to can juste as many of the small fruits as possible, Firstly, we must 'take advantage of the cheaper fruits. for our own fam- ilies. Secondly, each one of us should try to meet the requests of the various organizations sol- iciting our help for extra fruit. Thirdly; exra fruit is useful for those very personal gifts, (do not forget, with each type you can, to set aside a few jars for this purpose), What a joy it will give you at gift time to wrap them in attractive. cellophane or other papers and present these goodies to those who are ill, to the lonely or to other very intimate friends.

Everyone had to "listen then, as if they were so many children. In time, though, they looked querulously at Bob; he stepped forward and took the watch again. Sun-Worshippers The young scientist pointed at the sun, and at the watch. With extended arm, he swept in an arc from horizon to horizon, then with his finger he indicated the motion of the hour hand. He held up the watch and the yellow gold gleamed, As if by royal command, then, a murmur of awe swept through the brown audience. The leader spoke a short sentence of two, and the gntire assembly lifted both hands--held them high as if 'in worship or salute. Silence reign. ed, while Bob Barry's jaw fell. He and 'Lissa stared in fresh surprise at this phenomenon. Nearly a hundred people had sud- denly saluted a watch. The atti. tude was undeniably one of re- spect, of reverence even, "Lower the watch--lower it, Bob," whispered 'Lissa. He had unconsciously kept it held high, to reflect the sun. * J Ll Not A Word of English He got the point. When he low- ered the trinket, and with great show of deference gave it back to the, brown leader, the people dropped theft arms and began talking again, "Imagine that!" Bob murmur. ed.

If he had done so, it was a lucky move, he told her. What more likely to im- press the simple folk, than to be messengers bearing" a "little Sun?" . ? They looked then to study the countryside. It was typical of the Mexican border country, as to mountains and cliffs, but imme- diately before them lay a valley that was cultivated: and green. It was not large, maybe a thousand acres. There was but one village. {Houses were built of stone, and were clustered near the great cave hich Bob and 'Lissa had just left. ¥ ; "This is in some kind of a box canyon," Bob declared, studying cliffs, all around us."
