ed recesses obscured in the gloom; its highest peaks glowing with
golden, pink and violet tints. In the west, surrounded by a host of
golden stars that still glittered in the purple black depths of
vanishing night, the silver moon hung half-way dipped as it slowly sank
behind the towering crest of the Sahuaripa range, an isolated spur of
the Sierra Madres. A vast plain intervened between them and the distant
Sierras at whose foot dwelt the Tewana.

Far below them, from out the shadowy depths on either side of the range,
arose faint sounds of awakening life. The breeze began to sigh among the
tree tops, while high above them they heard the wild scream of eagles
that soared in great circles with widespread pinions in their morning
flight to greet the sun. Great waves of indefinable melody, more subtle
and exquisite than music, swept over them, causing their souls to

through and over them, their souls vibrating with renewed life and vigor
as they felt and recognized God's sign and immanence as in the days
when man first walked with Him in the cool of the morning.

beginning. In the picture of the golden childhood of the race, they
beheld reflected in the new light of the future, the vision of the
emancipated, delivered man, guided by the lessons still to be learned
from the great Book of Nature lying open before him, and the accumulated
wisdom of past ages, handed down to him by his forefathers through
travail and suffering and in legend and song from those ancient days of
suns and nights of stars when the earth and man were young. A freeborn
race of men who are joint tenants of the soil, sharing all things in
common with which their bountiful Mother, the Earth, has provided them.
A race of men, athletic in body as they are able in mind, and spiritual
and courageous, recognizing no laws but those of Nature's or God's.

In silence and with bared heads they gazed upon the grandeur of the
scene that lay spread out before them. It was as tho
