ized up there. But the main push was
south.
The Mound Builders came next. It is
agreed they were ancestors of North
American Indians; but the Athabaskas
(ancestors of Apaches and Navajos) had
an important role in this peopling of
America. \
But all western tribes and Mexicans
came via Behring Isthmus. The Mexicans
(Nahuatls or Aztecs), according to thejr
own history, came from western North
America. According to Ixtlilxochitl and
Tezozomoc, princely Aztec halfbreeds, and
sixteenth century Spaniards on the spot,
like Duran. Torquemada and Clavigero, the
date was about the year A. D. 300. The
hieroglyphical map in the Museum of
Mexico shows the arrival in barks of the
Nahuatls. According to the Kamirez
manuscript it was A. D. 800.
For Peruvian origins Markham (Lon
don, 1911) reduces considerably Monte
rinos's date of A. D. 200. For the Mayas.
Spinden, "most notable and recent" (New
York, 1917$, dates their earliest history
about B. C. 235. Mr. Vignaud thinks that
these native indications should be re
spected.
So, the mystery of America continues!
If Asiatics occupied America so recently
how did they not know the big domestic
animals, man's inseparable companions of
the Old World, the principle of the wheel,
the use of lamps. &c.? Also, can we be
lieve that the geological "bridges" of
Behring, &c., had not sunk?
All the same, our aborigines are of the
yellow Asiatic race!
Going south, the Mexicans became the
Mayas. Now, from their own sparsely
deciphered hieroglyphics, Ac., the Mayas
established themselves in Yucatan about
B. C. 200!
So the origin of the Mayas is "the
stumbling block of Americanists." They
may have "come from the Old World by
the east," in which case "they would not
be related to the Mexicans at all!" We
must "choose between the two opinions,
either that the Mayas came up from South
America and civilized the Mexicans or that
they were a branch of the Mexicans going
southward." Charnay, working on the spot,
believes the latter. Mr. Vignaud also.
But while citing important American
works he leaves open a peephole for the
mystery still! Apart from color of .skin
there is truly "absolutely no proof of race
relationship of the Indians of the two
Americas"; but "these suffice if you cannot
show any other emigrations!"
Daniel Wilson, "learned anthropologist
to whom Americana owes much," insisted
that America was peopled from the south
rather than from the north! And Mr.
Vignaud himself admits "the Polynesians,
like the Indians, are, at least in part, of
Mongol origin!"
Mr. Vignaud states this along with
Daniel Wilson's friendly concession that
"a part of the American aborigines may
have come by Behring Isthmus." Mr.
Vignaud puts K just the other way about.
The mass came by way of Behring; but a
few many have come northward from "the
Secret of the Pacific"!
With Horses
and Hounds
CHASING AND RACING. By Harding Cox.
E. P. Dutton A Co.
MAJOR HARDING COX was a lead
ing light on the raca track in
England from about 1880 well
into the present century, and he was
equally noted as a fox hunter, having at
tained the high point of his career as
M.F.H. of the Old Berkeley Hunt. His
book is a collection of personal reminis
cence and anecdote of sporting as mani
fested In horse racing and in following
the hounds in that vanished England. It
is frank, almost naive, and always enter
taining, whether one is greatly interested
in the "gees" or not. Major Cox very
clearly earned the pet name of "Cockle,'
?which perfectly fitted him. Besides being
an owner of race horses he was promi
nent as a rider, or gentleman jockey, as
he backed most of his winning mounts
himself. He claims to have introduced
the "crouch" seat long before Tod Sloan
used it. His reminiscences deal most
largely with detailed stories of his many
races, of his best horses, of the betting
ring, and of race track arcana in general.
But, he tells us, he loved dogs even more
than horses. As soon as he had a large
place of his own he collected a pack of
harriers and took to breeding dogs. Later
he became Master of the Hunt in an im
portant section of the sporting and society
world, and the best things in the book are
his accounts of several happy runs with
the fox hounds. It is all a sprightly nar
rative, an entertaining- and illuminative
"human document" as well as a sports
record of value historically. Most of his
anecdotes are new and he tells them well.

The Boston Transcript Says:
"Mr. Keable has power we knew
before, but it has grown with use.
He is a bigger man than when he
wrote 'Simon Called Peter" and he
has staged a vaster scene . . .
this is a book with a meaning and it
possesses potent appeal.**
