Don Julio explained patiently: "These are different Indians."

"Pa say they're different.

They don't even talk English like our Indians do in Oklahoma."

"This is Guatemala." "What is that Indian carrying on his back?"

"He has it covered up," anid Don Julio, "Ho how can I tell you?"

"Where is he coming from?" "From Santa Catalina Palopo. It is a village on the lake."

"Yes," said Don Jullo, I means 'nose of the mountain,*"

"I must say they have a lot of funny names in this country lenango this, and tenango that. All nonsense!"

"Tenango," Don Jullo explain- ed patiently, "means 'place. Chi- chicastenango, the place of the nettles or Huehuetenango, the place of the very old people; or Quetzaltenango-the place of the Quetzal,!"

"What's a Quetzal?" "A bird," yaid

Don Julio "The national bird of Guatemala, Like you have in the United States the eagle,

"Can I buy a Quetzal to take home for souvenir?"

Don Julio sighed. "If I come to your Oklahoma, can I buy on American eagle to take home for a souvenir?"

The blonde tourist was shock- ed. "Are you kidding?"

"Yes," said Don Julio, "but still you cannot take home Quet- zal. In a cage he will die bo- cause he cannot live without freedom. That is why when Guatemala became an indepen-

dent Republic we said: The Quetzal must be our symbol." "

"Isn't that romantic! Who thought of that?"-

"We did," said Don Julio.

"I thought maybe you read it some place or seen it in a book. What's a Quetzal look like, any- way?"!

A red breast

"He has a very red breast," said Don Jullo, "and he has green feet tallfeathers maybe two long, and they say when he makes a nest inside a tree he makes two holes in the tree so he can go in one and out the other because he is very vain of his tailfeathers and does not want to spoil them turning around in- side the tree."

"Isn't that romantic! Who thought of that?"

"The Quetzais," said Don Julio. "My the things you learn when you travel! I always say travel broadens you so,” The billowy blonde turned to gaze dreamily across the lake. Behind her back Don Jullo made an eloquent Latin gesture of agreement.

"Makes you think, too," she sighed, and then pointed to n

"He is a lawyer from New Jersey. Years ago he built

his house 'way over there and every winter ho comes down here and hermits."

"How romantiel Does anybody ever see him?"

"Everybody," sald Don Julio. "Every morning he comes, aver here in his motor boat for two eggs for breakfast because he has forgotten to buy them in the market. And every afternoon he comes over for his nail. And every evening he comes over and listens to our marimba band."

"But you said he wanted to be alone."

"ile does," said Don Julio. "He' wants it very much.

But when he is alone he gets sheep-herder's madness and has to talk to some- body. All hermits do,"

"What does he talk about?" the blonde tours! inquired breath- lessly.

"He talks about how gond, It is to get away from everything and be hermit," said Don Julio. "But here he comes in his motor-

bont now. Talk with him-it will make him happy."
