MIRACLE OF IRRIGATION.
Cities Have Sprung Up in the Great
American Desert Through Its
Influence.

If ever men worked miracles, they
have worked them here in these west
ern valleys. If ever something was
created from nothing, these men
have done it. Thirty-five years ago the
Salt River valley, into which we had
driven, was all a parched desert, I'M
inhabited save by a few lean Indians
and two or three hardy traders. whom
the sand and cactus crowded down
close to the water of the river. 1t was
a thousand miles from the nearest
railroad-an unknown, desolate, for
bidding land, part of the Great
American desert. which travellers said
would never support human life. To-
day the Salt river valley contains a
population of over $4,000. 1t has three
cities; one, Phoenix, the capital Of
Arizona, having electric lights. an
electric car line, good hotels, churches
and other buildings, residences sur
rounded by trees, lawns, and a wilder.
ness of flowers. More than 125.OOO
acres of land round about are laid out
in farms, highly cultivated, with
orchards of oranges, almonds. olives
and figs, and grain and hay fields.
Thousands of cattle feed in the rich
meadows. and there are bees. chick
ems. ducks and ostriches unnumbered.
Richer soil than this once desert val
ley does not exist anywhere in the
world except in other once desert val
leys. Here one may behold the start
ling spectacle of orange groves. in
bearing worth $1,000 an acre on one
side of fence. and bare cactus desert
on the other, both having the same
soil. the same opportunities, but only
one having water. Here, when a man
builds his fence of cottonwood posts.
such is the soil and such the water
that the posts take root and grow
into trees, so that the wire of MANY
old fences is seen running through
the center of large trees. Here a
farmer rarely needs to use fertilizer;
and he may sometimes cut two or
three or more crops year from his
alfalfa fields, and then pasture them
during the winter-winter which is
in reality continual spring-From

A little while, and then, through
the bright August sunshine, he
passed on toward the scatfold so con-

eyes and muttered his surprise to an
assistant.
At last Number Forty-nine looked

turned to those waiting.

Suddenly aware that the prisoner
was following every word, the sher-

startling distinctness. Number Forty.
nine leaned forward in breathless in
terest to follow it, the blood leaped to
his pale cheeks, and he ceased to re-
member the unmoved figure beside
him, for he saw himself free, free
again, on the wide highway, riding with
his dogs at his heels. The picture
changed and he shuddered, but he pur.
sued his wrath with burning gaze.
Now be was in ballroom. There
were lights and flowers. He heard
the vOluptuous waltzes in chords of
passionate yearning, and at his side
was the smiling face of a woman, a
face only too human in its sensuous
loneliness. The pictures changed
again and again, but thereafter she
was always with him, and finally she
wore his ring. Then poverty, biting
poverty, came on them both, and she
was at his elbow urging, always urg-
ing, that he must provide luxury for
her, no matter what the cost. He
yielded. He gave her all she asked.
And the price was his honesty, a
stain on a name unblemished for CEN
turtles. She had spoiled the castle of
his will and destroyed all it's de-
lenses, and so, when another tempter
said Drink and forget!" he drank.
Drank until Number Forty-nine no
longer recognized himself in the
broken beggar of the streets, in the
maudlin coward crouching under the
lash of her bitter tongue.
The picture faded. The walls rose
straight and unbroken. He was in
his cell once more.
He looked, aghast, into the face of

Did they teach you to be strong in

every man a law unto himself? Are
you armed and courageous in the

Alone in his CELL Number Forty
nine heard nothing of the passing col
1oquy outside his door He was asleep.
On his boyish face were traces of re-
cent and agonized tears, wrung from
him by the thought of shameful death
on the scaffold in the morning.
Through the great building, stored
with so much misery, the usual prison
sounds grew fainter and fainter, then
the hush of midnight succeeded. Even
the drunken rawlings in the cell oppo-
site Forty mine sank to indistinct MUIR
murs,
A light touch on Forty-nine's fore
head woke him, and he saw a strange
presence in the room. 1t troubled him
little at first that such perfect and
gracious beauty as this of the woman
before him should be in so evil a place,
but on looking in the dark eyes bent
on him he forgot to be either startled
or afraid even though the newcomers
