30 THE MAGNET, <strong>1940</strong> Montezuma's Vase OMNIBUS The Sierra l\fadres form a saw-toothed wall that forever guards the plains around Santa Ynez. Santa Ynez itself is one of those lost villages that hide behind the cacti on the arid plains of Chihuahua State in l\lexico. Santa Ynez has one straggly street flanked by sun-baked hovels, Padre Francesco's little church, and a plenitude of burros, goats, dogs, and dirty children. Conquest has dealt lightly with the simple people of Chihuahua's plains. Toltec, Aztec, and Conquistadore came and went. The country was too poor, too arid, to excite their desire. So they left it to the Tarahumara Indians and the vultures and sought richer lands beyond the horizon. The Tndios of Chihuahua stayed with their sand and cactus, slumbering easily through the marching centuries. Now it was noon in Santa Ynez and the village was still save for the silent passage of a red-necked vulture and the droning buzz of hungry insects. Then a form appeared by the crumbling wall of Padre Francesco's church and the sun caught the colours of a serape. Tt was Chita who, once again, stood and gazed at the far-off line of the Sierra Madres. Dark-eyed Chita dreamed of other worlds than those the vultures guarded-worlds of whose wonder~ she had heard from Padre Francesco and from Raman who had been a Picadore in the great bull-ring in ~rexico City. When they heard her sing-these old men who knew the other world-they nodded and told her of the triumphs that one day would be hers. But how to reach this other world-it would take many pesos, and Chita, daughter of Pedro the goat-herder, had none. Raman and the good Father had told her many things of the world outside. She had heard of the magnificence of Mexico City and its great Avenida Insurgentes. She had heard too, of the fabulous Nord Americanos-the Yanquis-who come from north of the Rio Grande and possess enormous wealth. Ramon had been sure that a Yanq ui would be ,glad to give her gold for the queer vase that she had found in the dry arroyo near the black cliff. Last week she had heard that there were wealthy Yanquis on the plains. They had a pack-train with many burros piled with trade-goods and might even come to Santa Ynez. So Chita waited with the vase that. a warrior of Montezuma had lost on the plains of Chihuahua in the long ago. Perhap the Gringoes would buy t.he bit of pottery and thereby open t.he doors to that other world that she must conquer with a golden voice. Then one twilight t.he Yanquis came out of t.he empty plains. Chita watched them as they pit.ched t.heir camp and listened as Padre Francesco bade them welcome. She wat.ched t.hem eat.-watched as t.hey finished and leaned back to smoke their pipes. Then as t.he moon came up she began to sing-to sing the songs of the Indios of heat, hunger, disease-the haunting f01ksongs of a slave people. The Yanquis
