To Thee we yield our powers.

But I do want to tell you about the little town of Zuni. I lived in an adobe house with Mr. Thom as Idiaque, our fine Nazarene Indian, and his wife. A real Navajo Indian silversmith, who makes pretty silver ornaments, lived right in the rooms next to mine. Their little girl would smile into my face each morning and say, “Hey-lo!” which was as near as she could come to our “Hello.” I wish you could have stood right at the corner of our fence and looked with me across the street. You could have seen big, silent Indian men, tramping by, their faces almost covered with the large, dark blankets wrapped around them; their black hair, long, like women's and knotted up and tied in back with bright yarn. M ost of them had red or green or yellow kerchiefs folded and tied around their heads. The women and even some of the dear little girls had the prettiest, brightest shawls wrapped about them and drawn up over their heads.
