Wherever the sun could force his rays
between the clefts of the mountain or
through the heavy foliage of the forest
which skirted the base of the hills he
carried conviction to the mind or all
who suffered from the heat that the
dog DAYS were at hand. Alternately
cool in the delightful shade of the trees,
with the murmur of the rushing noun
tain brook to lull one to drowsiness,
and hot with the fierce heat as the sun
cut his way through, the day was one
of oppression mixed with just enough
qualification to make the southern
trend of the mountains Of Colorado the
ideal outing spot of the American con-
tinent. 1t would be pleasant under
almost any condition, but for the little
party encamped in the lower regions of
the San Juan country there was little
of pleasure. There was too much OF
duty and possible danger to render any
one oblivious Of his business in the
world and to aid him in the full enjoy
ment of the scene.

weary with a long ride during the heat

where the trail crossed the brook a

Camp Quickly Pitched.

So saying, the captain dismounted,
tossed his bride rein to his orderly and,
placing his back against a tree, lazily
superintendent the job of pitching camp
from this coign of vantage. With the
CELEBRITY of long years of discipline and
service, the wilderness became habi-
table abode for the detachment in an
incredible short time. The corrals were
roped off, the horses watered and plac-
ed under the charge of a couple of men
to Craze and the white wall tents of the
officers and the walled Sibleys Of the
men placed in regular form. AS Is GUS
tomary in that benighted region OF
fierce heat and sudden cold, the march
came to an end in the early afternoon,
while the sun even In the mountains
was several hours high. Scouts were
sent forward and everything done to
prevent the unnoticed approach of
white or red man. Supper was cooked
and dispatched with the speed and ap-
petite which is engendered in the Alps
of America and the camp settled down
to the routine Of camp duty.
Among the officers was young man
recently joined, who had a taste for
miueralogy and metallurgy. He smok-
ed his pipe in quiet for a time and then,
having no duty to bother him, strolled

was pitched. Like a mighty cathedral
