Sharp turns through two more doorways brought him into a kiva, or sacred chamber of the cliff dwellers, that was lighted by a pair of candles. Slade stood beside the broken-edged entrance hole with drawn revolver. The wounded Navaho was peering down from a hole in the ceiling. "Elsie!" panted Lennon. "Hide her! Pete betrayed you! All the Apaches coming up the ladder!"

But if I have really studied one or two nests, and made acquaintance with the tricks and manners of the small dwellers therein, I am satisfied and happy. While we lingered in the little hemlock grove, enraptured with the white-throat, and feeling that "Here were the place to lie alone all day On shadowed grass, beneath the blessed trees," a distant note reached our ever-listening ears.

Either on their own account or by group combinations with other communities dwellers in the smallest villages enjoy installations of all sorts of public services as complete as exist in the cities.

They don't understand them, especially the breeds they are attempting to handle. Most Arab horsemen are tent dwellers. They travel from one oasis to another with their stock. At night their herds are gathered around them as children.
