dust; but can never forget the aspect OF
the country with the glare of the sun upon
it-one vast waste of sands and stones, hills
bare of all but cactus, measureless stretches
of sand that look like the shore of the sea
from which the waves receded-and In
truth the entire section was once part OF
the ocean floor, from which the waves re-
coded ages ago. All the tints of the land
scape are pale in tone-sea green, silver
gray, amethyst, and faintest blue. There
are no trees, nor even bushes, except in
those infrequent spots where fertility has
been produced by irrigation and wherever
the tanks that are placed at regular intervals
to supply the locomotives with water, fe d
from the long aqueduct. have leaked or
dripped into the ankle-deep dust, grass
grows luxuriantly, indicating what the re-
suit might be, even in this desert, under a
judicious system of irrigation. There are
many peculiar mounds of sand, white as
snow, all blown into semi circular shapes
like huge crescent moons, showing the di-
rection and force of the prevailing winds.
But for most of the distance not living
thing is to be seen, except at the few sta
tions, where bedraggled women, dusty as
their surroundings, come on board with
peaches to sell-tolerably fair looking fruit,
but hard as the rocky hills and tasteless as
the sands in which they grew.

for trial or at least the chance to make a
statement in Lis OVID behalf were answered
by counter demands for large amount of
money. The latter not being Forthcoming,
he was led out one night without moments
warning, ostensibly to be shot, and told to
prepare for instant death.
Probably it was not intended to kill him,
merely to terrify him into enriching the
impecunious local Jefe Politico. Failing in
this, after he had been placed in position
and the soldiers had raised their rifles to
fire, knowing that nothing could be gained
by his death and possibly something might
be wrung out of him if he were allowed
to live, the half drunken officer remanded
him back to prison.
