Of the dead man below, such a.. william
Rawlins, died och Of May; 81 years; PIKE
County, Missouri
They were nearly oil from Bike
County, No.; and we got tired Of reading
90 many of them. There were other
skulls lying along the road here and there
with little sentences written on them in
pencil stating that So. and-So and So-and-
so had passed by on such day. We used
to pick up clean skull ourselves, once
in awhile, and write something Of this
kind on it, 80 that we might leave q sort
of clew az to what mad become of US, If
we should get killed. 81
swell, as we were stumbling over the
graves and reading the inscriptions on
the skulls, I suddenly saw a great dog
rise from mound at some distance, and
slowly retreat to another mound still far
ther of, where he turned and stared at as.
He was one of those huge English mas
tiffs, and must have belonged to one Of
the dead men. You could see through
him; no starving wolf could have been
gauuter, and his great protruding eyes
! had the widest look you ever saw. He
seemed to have lost the eyes and feshko-
gethef, and looked like the very phantom
Of dog. Wecallsd and whistied a Vim,
but he never barked--only stared MUS
with the same wild look. Then we went
to the grave he had been lying on, and it
was nameless-there was no skull on 1t,
nothing to mark it as grave except the
long cofin-shape of the mound.
"We tried for ever so long to coax the
dog even to come and eat something; but
he would not come near US, and would
run off in weak, shy way if we tried to
approach him. God knows how long he had
been therel We remained whole after
noon, just to dig q little hole for water
for the dog; you could strike water there
at four OF five feet, right among Che
graves. Then we left some crackers and
dry food for him, and rode away west.
"As we went ! turned and saw him re-
turn to the grave and lie down on 1t at
full length, as though trying to guard 1t.
And I watched him and watched him,
until at last when turned in my saddle
I could see nothing except the white
skulls all behind me, and few weird
Indian graves on the edge of the horizon
where the night was creeping up."-Cin.
