'T Elm ,L-A ' ' THE VANISHING AMERICAN x Be ye certain this'll make my back straight and make me look young? asked a wizened woman of a vender. One of those numberless venders, who make up that Nlaxwell Street Market. This vender, however, was Ia novelty, an Indian. l It was a hot, sultry, May day, people were dragging themselves aimlessly, nervelessly in the burning sunshine. The street was swarming with people, who indeed made a colorful array in their new summer purchases. Stores. counters, stands, pushcarts, out into the street they jutted, leaving only sufficient space for a Ford to rattle through. A novice has appeared-an Indian has set up business. His stand is in the center of the street, looking as if the prosperous candy Shoppe behind him, has pushed him out. ' The lone Indian, in consequence of the weather, frequently mopped his brow with a red kerchief. He was tall, stalwart and wore broad-toed shoes, brown trousers, of that variety which one might buyin a general store of the West. The upper part of his body was clothed in a cherry-stained shirt, open at the front. He had on a broad rimmed felt hat, proclaiming him to be an arrival from the'VVest. His stock consisted of herbs-green ones, red, brown, yellow, leafy, long ones, short ones, in fact, every species that can be procured in the plant kingdom. ' Come, peoples, these be good herbs, rang out the stentorian tones of the Indian. Rang out, indeed, but heard by few above the din made by the scream- ing, screeching, howling, hooting, of sellers, and buyers. Although the odds were against him, for few are interested in herbs, a goodly crowd had gathered about him. The afore-,mentioned woman wanted something to make her look young, and instantly she received a half dozen choice herbs. From the crowd, who were chiefly watchers, a sodden, ruddy-faced man stepped up to the counter. Say, boss, me wife don't want me to drink moonshine, kin ya help me? The red man thought a second. gave his herbs a keen glance, then said, Cook these herbs, the juice of them be better than moonshinef' Soon the Indian found himself possessed of three shining twenty-five cent pieces and dis- possessed of a packet of herbs. The heat grew intense, the milling people had thinned out. The Indian oc- casionally stalked over to a neighboring stand and sipped cool lemonade. Presently he picked up his ears, like a faithful watchdog sensing danger. Keenly he looked into the sky, which was by this time a molten piece oflead. Muttering something he busied himself packing his valuable herbs which had brought in considerable money. Vifithout more ado, he shouldered his pack and marched. The proprietors of the surrounding stands shrugged their shoulders and won- dered. They were not to wonder for long, for no sooner had the Indian disappeared when clouds blackened the sky and thunder outdid the noise of the street. There- upon followed such a hurry and scurry, screaming of warnings and slammings of boxes as was never heard before. There was a general scramble to get things out of danger of the now rapidly falling rain. The Vanishing American had vanished forever from Maxwell Street. - Page 136 1 f. i' '-. 1 .iii ', V --.
