in the sands of a low mesa at the first glance the landscape appears dull and monotonous but at sunrise twilighttinted colors are re flected in the shady pool and more brilliant hues wink and scintillate in scattered patobes out on the level plain the stillness and calmness of the desert is noticeable here and the scarcity of birds and wild animals adds a touch of remoteness to this water hole used by the indians in early summer the mourning doves appear in pairs and fly in from the desert on swift rhythmic wings- how daintily they drop to the pool to drink cf the cool water and how gracefully they whir away through the blue sky- when the sun has been up hut a tew hours there comes a haze of dust on the horizon which rises higher and grows larger with each passing moment a faint noise rises from the billowing cloud and at last tho ob scuring murk floats backward and a flock of sheep surge toward the water hole the bleating becomes loud and discordant the baaaa of lambs in a lower fainter key comes from the rear the patter ot little feet on the sand and the shrill barking of a dog adds to the din and yet there is a semblance of order among the thirsty flock a squaw with a stout staff in her hand straggles behind the dingy surging mass and two dark bare headed boys astride a shaggy donkey come slowly up the mesa with a flapping of drab ragged clothing and the flutter of a red headband the indians pass among their bleating noisy charges and turn the band expertly to the water hole then homeward toward the desert the dust and noise are over the land relapses into its
