p ' The Little Mountain Girl Star of "Big Swim" Welcomed Home I recall walking; one sundown on au old uviand road that i m over the edge of a long-deserted mountain orchard. It was a place I was very fond of visit- ing, partly because ot the One view to be had there of the far shining valley; partly because of its solitude; partly becau.sc of the manner In which, from the coign of vantage, t'ae watcher can see how the stars march up the great dome of heaven, as If they were an- gels In procession, carrying tapers, joyously climbing a mighty hill. I reached the asture just, at the right moment. The dark-blue flower of twi- light was opening wide. The sky showed lilac lanes, wan gulfs, sea breakers of misty red. In that high pasture I thought my- self alone; but presently, as I sat on the roots of a gnarled and ancient ap- ple tree, two cows with tinkling bells came by. They were followed by a tiny mountain girl, not more than five years old. I knew her well, but I hardly had expected to see her so far away from home at such an hour. She recognized me at once and stopped to talk with me; and the cowa, no longer urged, burled their broad noses In the dewy grasses of the hilltop. "What you doln' out hero so late?" .she asked, with womanly directness. She, of course, had her work to do; but why should I be loafing around? "Mike to watch the stars come out," I told her, "and I like to see the val- ley down yonder In tho mist." "l)o you like them things too?" sh asked, in a tone more kindly thau that In which her initial question had been put. "I nearly allus stops here when It ain't rainin'. I don'* get lonely when the stars come out." "Wliy do you lore to watch th stars?" I aked ray tiny comrade. "I talk, wifa them." said the child. "And they .ights in., home." In a moment she was gone over the fading hill, leaving me with another treasured memory about solitude. And I never look at 'he spangled heavens without recalling what that baby said of the stars "They 'ights me home." Archibald Rutledge, In "Peace in the Heart."

Some years later orchestras on the west coast began developing this type of music, and in 1914 a complete jazz or- chestra composed of two saxophones, cornet, trombone, violin, banjo, piano and drums, played at Los Angeles. A year later this music gained popularity in Chicago and a banjoist and orches- tra organizer there uam3d Bert Kelly made an adjective out of jazx and call- ed his own orchestra Bert Kelly's Jazz band.
