Then came the first break in the won- derful record. There was a sharp engagement and a Mexican bullet pierced the ld chief's shoulder. He went on fighting) setting his grim face against the pain, but it could be seen that he was suffering. The second time that he was proved vulnerable was only a week later. He had recovered quickly and was on the He and a handful of warpath again. Yaquis bore down upon & group of ranch- ers in Northern Bonora and killed three of them.

But in his heart he became afraid, for he knew that the gods had forsaken him. Then came the day that crushed his s as nly one pride and brought worwe than death to He continued to shoot without his fore- finger, to ride with a steady pain In his wounded shoulder. He had continued to bring terror to the hacienda owners in Bonora. But the gods had forgotten, and Zavier Lopez knew that his time was near at hand. The thing happened near his own home, His wife and all the children except little Manuela were away. The child was at work cooking the famlily’'s supper, when the Mexican soldiers cam. Manuela gave & warning cry and ran to her father when she saw them coming far away. The old man thrust her asfide and called his men to him. She stood at the door and watched. There was a small band of Mexicans, a stlll smaller band of Indlans that Lopez could muster. There, beside the old chief's settlement, before his very door, while his own daughter looked on, the battle was fought sharply to a finis Two Indians fell dead at the first fire. A few more vain shots—then the child saw her father fall. She did not scream, for Manuela has never learned the utterance of an emo- tion, you remember She ran to him and put ‘her little brown hand over the tiny fountain of blood that was spurting out. A Mexican soldier checked a shot that was aimed in their direction. ITANUELA LOPEZ STANFORD | STUuDIO | PH®TY Events moved 80 swiftly then that when the child comes to fell her story we shall find, no doubt, that she barely re- members them. The Yaqu! warriors who were not killed were taken prisoners. ‘Womeh and children who had returned to the settlement were taken along with them. Then again luck went against the old chief. Just as the Mexicans were moving off, leaving him, for dead, he revived. A sturdy soldier turned back and took him. He has been a captive ever since. Death would be & joy to him, for his pride is broken by'a captive's life. No matter how well his captors treat him, it makes no difference. He longs only for escape or death. ‘When General Torres took a fancy to the little girl, Manuela, the old man was pleased, for the child is his favorite. He was willing to consent to the proposal which the general made at last—the pro- posal to send the child north to Califor- nla. General Torres kindly explained to him all the wetalls of tne arrangement: how the child would go to a friend of his, a lady who would be a mother to the lit- tle captive. He told the man that the child would be well cared for, well clothed, well educated, and that she would be in truth a fortunate young Ya- qui to fall {nto such hands. Lopez went through the form of gra- clously consenting as if he were a free man, and Manuela was started on' her lonely journey. She is safe and apparently contented here. Every day now marks an increase in her vocabulary. Spanish and English both will belong to her list of accomplish- ments, for the senora speaks both. She will g0 to school as soon as she can speak enough to make her way. She will go to a convent school eventually and come out more thoroughly equipped than any of her tribe.

With regard to the amount of sleep re- quired for women, an author of repute says well that that one aspect of subject is frequently overiooked. tremely energetic women appear to a virtuous pride In limiting themselves te four or five hours’ sleep, really gru ing that, and considering it more a dis- graceful evidence of laziness and a reprs- bLensible waste of time. Now, viewed simply from a purely ma- terial and hyglenic point, thisis an error, 1t is quite possible fo accustom yourself to so little sleep as to be greatly the loser thereby. It may not show immediately, but it will in the end. From seven to eight hours’ needed by all people leading active and brain workers can least afford to down their allowance.
