Had it been himself? Lying upon his back, seeing only the immensity of the deep blue above him and the greatness of the stars, he scarcely dared to draw breath lest he should arouse himself to new anguish. It had not been he who had so suffered; surely it had been another Zia. What had come upon him, what had come upon the world?
The younger one the maiden with that strange mystery of pain and strength in her white face, was coming towards him. "Father," she said, "hath none offered thee refreshment? Thou must indeed be weary, for the way is long. Zia, let us be served here in sight of the great forest that will seem like home to our good Padre."
And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven. These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz; Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.
He stood quite silent, and as he lifted his eyes and let them rest on the stranger's own, they became large with tears big, piteous tears. "Why?" persisted the man, anxiously. "Is it because thou seest evil in my soul?" "No, no!" sobbed Zia. "One taught me to look away because I am hideous and my eyes are evil." "Evil!" said the stranger. "They have lied to thee." He was trembling as he spoke.
He heaped straw in a corner with care, and threw his mantle upon it. "Come," he said. "Here thou canst rest, and I can watch by thy side. The angels of the Lord be with thee!" The woman turned from the door and went toward him, walking with slow steps. He gazed at her with mild, unillumined eyes. "Does he not see the light!" panted Zia. "Does he not see the light!"
Those who were evil were afraid to meet his gaze, and hated it as old Judith did, though, as he was not their servant, they dared not strike him when he lifted his soft, heavy eyelids. But Zia could not understand what people meant when they whispered about him or turned away fiercely. A weight was lifted from his soul when he realized that he was not as revolting as he had believed.
They have two Gods; the God of the Pueblos, and the God of the Christians. Montezuma is the God of the Pueblo." This account of the Sun worship of the Taos Indians, in which is intermingled that of Montezuma, and the further account of the worship of Montezuma at the pueblos of Zia and Jemez, with the recognition of the worship of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, are both interesting and suggestive.
