MADONNA AND CHKIST CHTXD
A GH1SMS DRYAD

T was Christmas day and the sun
shed a golden radiance over the
Arizona desert brown breasted
and splotched with mesqulte and
cactus As the cow pony bore Lela
Warren over the indistinct trail Bhe
took deep breaths of the ozone of the
foothills
This is living she cried stretch-
ing her arms toward the trees which
A TAIX MAX IS

Suddenly a stir
in the manzanita
bushes behind
her attracted her
attention Peer
ing through the
leaves of her re
treat Lela saw a
tall well built
man in hunters
garb picking his
way through the
5SSS
tread of virile
manhood resting
his rifle against
the oak Then he
flung himself at its trunk and stretch
ed his limbs upon the earth to rest
For a minute she studied the In
truder debating in her mind the best
means of acquainting him with her
prior occupancy of that retreat Sud
denly a spirit of mischief overcame
her and she let fall an oak ball she
had plucked from a nearby twig The
small green globe struck the man
squarely on the head
Instantly he sprang to his feet
caught up his rifle and began peering
up through the live oaks branches
You cant challenge me that waj
Mr Squirrel he said pointing the
rifle upward not with impunity
Lela gave a little cough Dont
shoot me please she called down I
plead guilty
She encountered a pair of surprised
brown eyes looking up at her Drop
ping his rifle to his side the man lifted
his hat politely
I never shoot dryads he answered
I suppose she said a smile hov
ering on the lips that you are per
fectly familiar with dryads
Hardly he answered smiling up
at her I know very little except
they are said to live in trees Are
the other live oaks in this canjon in
habited by your cousins
A twinkle came into the dryads

work but the men deserted me for a
holiday so in self defense I turned

From her leafy perch the dryad
watched the man as he went whistling
away over t the spring There was
something in his half playful speech
and the easy swing of his cait that
seemed strangely familiar to hr
He was building a tire between some
rocks when he called to her
