the cup of life to the exquisite young lips of Concha
Arguello. The very thought disposed him to twist
their necks.

The Mission San Francisco de Assisi stood at the
head of a great valley about a league from the
Presidio and facing the eastern hills. Behind it,
yet not too close, for the priests were ever on their
guard against Indians more lustful of loot than sal-
vation, was a long irregular chain of hills, break-

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Old Indian Legends by Zitkala-Sa: the hunters came the unhappy parents of the lost baby to search
again for him.
Toward the latter part of the tenth season when, one by one,
the teepees were folded and the families went away from the lake
region, the mother walked again along the lake shore weeping. One
evening, across the lake from where the crying woman stood, a pair
of bright black eyes peered at her through the tall reeds and wild
rice. A little wild boy stopped his play among the tall grasses.
His long, loose hair hanging down his brown back and shoulders was
carelessly tossed from his round face. He wore a loin cloth of
woven sweet grass. Crouching low to the marshy ground, he listened

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: glass caused the beam within it to reach his eye first direct, and
then after two, four, and six reflections. These corresponded to
the passage of the ray once, three times, five times, and seven
times through the glass. He thus established with numerical
accuracy the exact proportionality of the rotation to the distance
traversed by the polarized beam. Thus in one series of experiments
where the rotation required by the direct beam was 12degrees, that
acquired by three passages through the glass was 36degrees, while that
acquired by five passages was 60degrees. But even when this method of
magnifying was applied, he failed with various solid substances to
obtain any effect; and in the case of air, though he employed to the
