‘Amolds Shoot Indians
(Continued from Page Two)
the Painted Desert!
1 had my field glasses and was
trying to locate Indians, Finally, I
saw the outline of several figures.
As we drew closer, sure ’nuff,
there was Pa Indian, dressed in
fine regalia, sitting erect and
stately on a very slick, black and
handsome steed. Ma Indian was
trudging wearily beside the horse,
all bedecked in her finery, but
laden with the papoose on her back
and a large bundle in her arms.
It was plain to see that she wasn’t
going to get any help, and she
would have to content herself
as she looked up at her husband,
that she was lucky afterall, to have
such a wonderful prize package.
I heard a faint remark from the
driver's seat which sounded some-
thing like—“That guy's really got
the right idea”.
‘We looked for their tents or wig-
wams, but there weren't any.
What I did see, set way back off
the highway, through my field
glasses, were huts that looked like
igloos, We came to the conclusion
that these had taken the place of
the wigwam, and later through in-
quiry, learned that this was so. As
I pored over my discovery I no-

ticed that the new ones were made
of frame and covered with adobe
(mud) which, when sunbaked and
hardened, made smooth, solid
walls. The occupied ones had
thatched roofs with holes in their
centers, for ventilation, we pre-
sumed. The doorways had cover-
ings of some kind but that day it
must have been very close inside,
because most coverings were either
pulled back or thrown up over the
front part of the shelter.
After many more miles of tra-
veling, we came upon a lone coun-
try store which carried everything
from shoes and yardage to gaso-
line and cold drinks. The Boss had
the job of watering and gassing
his own car, so I took myself in-
side and treated me to a coke. My
eyes wandered about the store and
its occupants, and were met with
just as much curiosity by the In-
dian shoppers.
I noticed 4 little Indian girl
about 12 years of age sitting on a
sugar bag. Her skin, very dark,
appeared as though it had layers
and layers of dirt on it. I offered
her a coke and asked if I might
take their picture. The storekeeper
spoke up saying that she didn’t un-
derstand, but he’d talk to an adult
Indian who would relay the mes-
sage to her, When she heard him
out, up she jumped and walked
noisily (she was wearing heavy
shoes) out in front of the store,
where she stood grinning shyly. I
followed, came in a close second,
turned her to the proper angle and
took two shots. As a reward for
her willingness I held out a quar-
ter. When she extended her hand
I noticed the fist tightly clenched
and streaks of perspiration, almost
black trickling through her fin-
gers. On closer inspection I found
that her little fist was bulging
with something shiny, and as she
opened it, low and behold, there
were about 12 quarters almost
welded together from the heat and
her firm grip. This tickled me no
end, and again, a faint remark
passed my ears to the tune of,
“Now that’s what I call a smart
business woman. shrewd but cas-

Again we tok to ihe lonely
road dotted every few miles by In-
dians walking alone or in pairs.
We wondered where they were go-
ing or coming from as there
weren't any more igloos in sight.
Inquiry at the next stop, miles
from where we had seen them,
eased our curiosity. These Indians
were cliff dwellers, living in the
vicinity, who walked miles and
miles to and from the trading
posts. :
Here again, an Indian couple,
handsomely dressed and sitting on
the steps leading to the entrance
of the store. attracted my atten-
tion, and I immediaely thought of
my camera. This is going to be a
cinch, I thought, they're already
posed, all I have to do is start
clicking away. But those pleasant
thoughts weren't for long. I sa-
shayed over and merely asked,
“Picture?” and showed my good
intentions by . offering a 50 cent
piece.
The gent, with his Nore black
braids tied with red ribbon raised
his ‘head, cogitated a while, then
held his index finger straight up
and answered, ‘“Non-neeeee.”
Meaning one dollar for a snap of
them both. This, I thought, was de-
finitely not one of the boys from
Syracuse, but a Harvard graduate.
Her ladyship just sat there with
head bowed and said nothing, but
tried to look nonchalant, sporting
her colorful skirts and ultra fancy
blouse. Still speechless and miffed
by his shoddy treatment, I held
my ground while I “ried to count
the ropes and ropes of gaudy beads
dangling from her neck down over
her pigeon like bosom, I did want
to take their picture, but knew I
wouldn't get very far with such
brilliant conversation as we'd just
had, so I pretended to be dumb
about the whole thing and placed
the coin between them on the step.
1 stepped back and was getting my
camera all set, when much to my
chagrin, the gent got up and,
“slowly walks away, slowly walks
away,” to behind the ladeez
lounge, (Chic Sales to you) and
left madam to grin prettily, all by
her lonesome. After taking my
snap, I nodded a thanks, and was
about to turn away when I saw
her hand make a mad scramble for
the coin. She dropped it into her
lovely “Mae West” bosom, and I
heard the sweet jingle of many
more coins as it cascaded down
and hit bottom. I could hardly con-
trol my mirth as I looked over to
my better half. It then dawned on
me that it was almost impossible
for such a frail little creature to
have blossomed forth so volupt-
iously.. She had a home improvised
bank right with her. Yup, we live
| and learn. From now on my Christ-
mas savings will have new quar-
ters and, in that way there'll be
two purposes served. Again I
heard the Voice of Authority, and
this time he quipped, “Guess she
and her coins are bosom friends.”
Europe is the second smallest
continent in the world.
