XOTiaf la Meaat by a Sayase and HoW a Savaare Tribe la Governed. lo the ethnologist a savage la a forest dweller. In oommon conception the sav age Is a brutal person whose chief delight Js In taking scalps. Sometimes the sylvan man is cruei, dui even civilized men are sometimes crael, writes Major John W. Powell in The Forum. i J Savagery Is a status of culture to the ethnologist, who recognizes four suoh stages, of which savagery ia the lowest. In tribal society people are grouped or regimentea in bodies of Kindred. A tribe is a crrouD of oeonle havlnir a oommon name. - Suppose that a tribe springs from iour persons viz, a brother and sister be longing to one clan and a brother and sis ter belonging to another clan and that each of the man marries the other's sister. Let us call one of our 4 clans "wolf" and the other "eagle." The 'wolf man marries the eagle woman, and the eagle man mar ries the wolf woman. This is the first generation of a tribe composed of two clans, the man and his wife belonging to different clans. The four persona belong to two clans and constitute two families. Let us suppose ' that each couple has four children two boys and two girls. They will belong to two elans. The children of the wolf mother will belong to the wolf clan and the children of the eagle mother to the eagle clan. This is the second veneration. - Then four people of the second generation and two of the first generation belong to the wolf elan, and four of the second genera- tion and two of the first generation belong to the eagle clan. Thus we see that clans do not correspond to what in modern cul ture we call the family. The husband and wife belong to different : clans, and the children belong to the clan of the mother. The mother, not the father, owns the chil dren, and the husband la but the gnest of his wife, not the head of the household. Suppose that each man of the second generation marries a woman of that gen eration who belonga to a different clan, "and that each pair has four children two boys and two girls. These children con stitute the third generation. The children belong to the clan of the mother. There are now three generations of people in each clan, and every mother claims her own children as members of her clan. The head of the family ia the mother, but the head of the ..clan ia the grandmother's brother. Always the elder man of the clan la the ruler of the clan, and the wom an is the family ruler of heg.children. We may go on ironr-the hypothetical be ginning of a tribe through successive gen erations, and still the. ruler of the clan will be the elder man of the clan, and will govern not bis children and their descend ants, but his sister's children and their descendants. we may therefore define a clan as a group of kindred people whose kinship is reckoned only through females. A clan always has a came, which is called the totem,' and the object from which it is named Is in like manner called Its totem. Thus in the two olans which we have considered the wolf and the eagle are respectively called the totems of the clan. . The totem derives great considera tion in savage society. It is usually some beast, bird or insect, or some important plant, such as the corn or thottobaoco, or it may be the wind, the rain, the dawn or the sunshine. The totem of the clan is con sidered to be the progen Jtor or prototype of the clan. The people of the wolf clan claim to have descended from the wolf, the people of the eagle clan from the eagle, the people of the wind clan from the winu, and the people of the sun clan from the sun. Tho totem is also the tutelar deity nt the r.lan. - .. " Jmt.lflnlilA Indignation. One evenlne .

These sisters always come Out to visit them, and the rest goes by-iteejf. . juts. , ixjrriiard bad an unmarried sister. She was very attractive. : She was far more attractive than Mrs.' Lorrilnrd could have been. . .The girl's name was Spencer May Spencer. She was 18 years old, if you tool! her word fot' it, and she wa blond and pink -and ' white and plump. 'She came' from some place In Ohio, and she visited the Iiorrilards at Stanton, which is in New Mexico, 100 miles from the railroad, across Dead Man's valley there is always a Dead Man's valley and some steep hills and a lava bed a mile wide. - If 'you have never seen a lava bed. you cannot annreoiate that.--You might try to imagine the ocean lashed into fury by a simoom, then fancy Its great waves and billows and swells changed suddenly to dark gray brown stone at the height of" the storm,' and you may form a vague idea of what the lava bed between Fort Stanton and the railroad is like. . . . . . It frightenedJfrss Spenoer badly. The ambulance went slipping, and sliding, and coasting,- and - thumping, I and bounding over the one passable part in a way that only an ambulance conducted by a driver who has spent hfs life on Arizona and New Mexico roads could possibly stand. It nut all tho laws of centrlpottal "force and of equilibrium at naught. It and tha four mules were laws unto themselves. - Miss Spencer was not accustomed to that sort of thing. She stood it as long as she could, and then she told Major Boohe, In whose charge she was traveling, that she meant to get out and walk. 1 She had bothered the major a good deal already, and he was getting tired, so he did not say anything, but simply told the driver to slow up" and let Miss Spencer set out by herself. - j i: She fell behind after a moment, and the ambulance went relentlessly on, creaking, flapping its canvas, clanking Its chains, its brake screeching shrilly. And as it dis appeared, sometimes lost to sight in a great hollow, sometimes toiling up a smooth face of lava, Miss Spencer felt herself abandoned indeed in a New Mexico desert under that terrible midsummer sun. The heat was flery, scorching, parching. ; The sky was like hat bltre-glass. She wondered why, when, the .lava, was. hot -enough to burn her feet through the soles of her shoes it did not melt or 1 grow soft. She kept on walking because she was afraid to stop. Twice she slipped and fell and cut her hands. Under the porous, piled up rock, rabbits and owls and quail were hid den; there were snakes, too,' and lizards. At first she was frightened when they scurried to her, but soon, with her head ringing and her eyes dazed with congested blood and her mouth open and as dry as flour, she did not even notice them. She reached the end of the' huge rock river at last and found the ambulance waiting. The driver was asleep, and the major was drinking beer. He offered her some, and when she had drunk it she held out her broad little foot. 1 My shoes are all cut to pieces, and they were new and awfully heavy. " . You should have kept still," he an swered. - ; Now Miss Spencer wanted sympathy, and when she didn't get it. she took a dis like to the major, and because she disliked him she eventually made him sorry. For the first fortnight of her visit she was not pretty. She was sunburned from her passage of the lava sea. - Her face was red and swollen, then blotchy and lastly peely. After that she returned to the nor mal pink and white. Sljftwae the only girl at -the post, and there were a bachelor,-a brevet bachelor, a young contract surgeon, and Major Roche's son. The bachelor offi cer was studious a kind that: has much faith and thinks that the great -fathers In Washington will reward ' lieutenants who pass high exams and have ideas on Indi ana He had no time for young women. He paid his one call and retired. The bre vet bachelor is peculiar to the service. His wife is back east, visiting her family. He differs'from the real article only in that he is ineligible. He was ; devoted to Miss Spencer, but he did not count There was! also the contract surgeon. Of course he was only a contract surgeon. Still he waa tall and blond and had a beguiling south-' era drawL He fell In love with Miss Spen- oer. ., ' : But the exciting part of the story hinges on Major Roche's son. He was 20,- and he was no use on earth. He was just a boy and never would be anything more. -He had failed in everything he had ever un dertaken. He couldn't even dance, and he was afraid of a three foot aoequia when he rode. He depended on his papa for every thing, and he thought lie. knew women through and through, j Probably Provi dence sent Miss Spencer to show him that he didn't. But the ways'of Providence are inscrutable, and I can't be sure. Well, the contract surgeon fell in love With Miss Spencer; but, like Viola, he never told his love. Now. as the bachelor was hidden, Miss Spencer couldn't fall in love with him, and no one could have fall en in love with Teddy-Roche, so she re ciprocated the contract surgeon's passion. His name was Randolph Custls , Ran dolph, to match his nice; blue eyes and his charming drawl. His courtship was of the eternally on hand sort. The life of a gar rison offers even greater advantages for this than that of a southern town. He was With Miss Spencer from) guard mounting until long after taps. But Miss Spencer pined to see more of him. "Mr. Randolph, I believe you're lazy." Oh, now Miss May-i-why? That isn't kind." He gazed at the flag on the flag staff tenderly and dwelt musically on each word. : . -. I :' . 'Because." I 'It is the privilege of a lady to give that; reason." ills eyes sought tne tennis couro in tender, blue abstractedness. "Well, I know you are." "Won't you have pity on me and tell me why?" ! " 'Because you never are up until almost; guard mount." " j 'Oh, dean, yes, I am; I go over to the hospital at sick call, you know." '.'Why don't I ever see you tbenr" "Perhaps you have not risen yourself." "I'm always up at reveille;" "No! Goodness. Why on earth do you da that?" is ' . "I believe you- go over to the hospital the back way and aren't half awake ant don't even have a collar on." "Now, Miss May, how unkindl" "Isn't It true?" I ;! , "I always have my collar on." He told a future truth. After this he would wear a collar. - i "I hate lazy people." i "Oh, Miss May, how unkind I You don't hate Tne, I hope." His eyes were On the pink? ribbon that. fluttered from her belt. He took hold of it and wound it around his finger, getting gradually nearer to her. "I do, if you are lazy." "How can I prove to you that I am not?" "That's easy enough." "Do tell me how." i "Just prove it." - "By rising early and letting yoti see. me?" ! "Well yes." I i "I shall do so tomorrow." : : " But I always go for a ride before break fast." ' . ' "May I not join you?" j V "If you like. I don't care." Which is feminine for caring very much indeed. So Dr. Randolph rode with MJss Spen cer the next morning, and he breakfasted at the Lorrilards', and ho sat on the Lor rilards' porch to watoh guard mounting, and then he played tennis with Miss Spen cer, and when it was too bot to do that any longer they sat together on the porch, again, shaded by the crowsfoot and morn ing glory vines, and read aloud by turns. They parted for luncheon, but immediate ly afterward they -met again in the Lorri lards' sitting room to practice the mando lin and guitar. Randolph dined with tha Lorrilards, and then he and Miss Spenoer walked up and down the line until taps, and after tops tbay sat on the porch once more and talked in undertones." Occasionally the Roche boy r f .1 f J and though he was not far from; wel come bo never guessed, it . v j "TTovf it , may seem . Incredible, but out a- ' t stiii true, that though this went . on without pause for ten solid' months Randolph modestly - doubted If he Were loved and dared ' not voice his passion: Mrs. orrk lard began to -think that she had done quite all that the family oould expect of ner, ana sne grew nopeiess ana weary, moreover, of boarding! free two hungry young people. She told -Miss Spenoer as gently as possible that she might go the next time the ambulance, went ov$r to Carthage, which waa the railroad station. Miss Spenoer told Randolph she was going and wept. . And Randolph consoled her - from afar and . actually thought sh? was ' weeping at leaving her little nephew ana niece and her sister. ; There are -men like that ' - - - - - M , The ambulance .went a week later to carry Major Roche and Teddy Roche to the railroad. Teddy was offered a position at ' Tucson and was going to take it- The ma jor had government business at Carthage. The Carthage road is a branch. It joins the main June of the A., T. and S. F.lat a station called : San ; Antonio. The major would chaperon the young woman to' Car thage; thence she would go to the main lme and east and Teddy to the main Une and west Only Teddy and May compro mised. They both went to Socorro, whioh is on the main line, a very little northeast of San Antonio. j - The contract doctor and Miss Spenoer had a harrowing parting. The latter lost her temper over his procrastination and burst into tears. It nearly broke his heart and entirely silenced his tongue. ; ' , After she was gone, hopelessly gone,- he determined to reveal the secret of his heart by letter. But being named Custls Ran dolphhe put off doing it Instead he swung In his hammock all day and thought of her blue eyes and pretty face and guile less smile and regretted his erstwhile con stant companion. .'The ambulance would return, empty of its lovely load, in, five days. He knew that He would write when it returned. So on the afternoon of the fifth day he sat, still swinging in the hammock and smoking a pipe, the ashes whereof be sprinkled his coat, when the four mules and the ambulance rattled into the post They stopped at the major's quarters in a cloud of dust, and two men and a woman alighted. There was no doubt about who the woman was. In his delight Randolph lost his head. Ho strode down the broad walk to the Roches'. - .' : r Miss Spencer was still standing by the ambulance, hunting with the driver's help for something under one of the seats. The major and Teddy had gone indoors. ' 1 "Why, Miss May," said Randolph, and this time there was no drawl, "how de lightful 1 What brings you baok?" . ! "Oh, my husband. Teddy and I got married in Socorro and joined the dear old major again in Carthage the same day." - "How delightful!" Randolph repeated weakly. " ' i " ' " Well, Teddy seemed to thiatk so, but the dear, sweet old . major didn't Any way, you know, he was so horrid about my shoes on the Bad Lands that day. '?
