Conger, the custodian of the station, was

search. Eight miles away In the stony
hills, fully exposed to the glare of Ari-
zona's July sun, solely through the In
~telligence of the dog, Carroll was found
lying unconscious. He had been there
eleven hours. The plucky woman loaded
the suffering man on the horse, and

man, became soyerheated, and, on res
