the deep shadows on the side farthest
from the mountains he had watched
so intently before he began his jour-
ney and darted suddenly under the
overhanging ledge, where the water
had worn away the softer rock, and
hid again in a hollow as before.
Then followed hours of strange
toll. At times the man lay fat on
the hot plain and dragged himself
along, taking minutes to move his
own length, so that any enc watching
would have needed keen and steady
eye to be certain that he moved at
all. Then, in a friendly gully, he
moved faster, with the crouching
posture of the morning. and even
once, where the great boulders stood
like the ruins of an ancient city, he
almost ran through the black shad-
ows of what seemed once to have
been a street, only throwing himself
down to crawl where an open place.
like a cross street, let in the unwel-
come sunlight.
The perspiration had ceased to
flow, for every drop of moisture was
burned from his body. The CRIME
stood on his face in dry patches; his
eyes were red and bloodshot; his
tongue hung from his mouth. and
even the hot stones had ceased to
burn his flesh, so hot had it become
in his fierce struggle under that W.
tempered sun.
In the early afternoon, he stopped
to rest in the shaded hollow OF a
boulder. and suddenly, as he looked
to the ground, his face blanched UNI
der its coating of CRIME. A broken
sage bush told where a foot had
passed. This man had reached a
point where signs of humanity were
more terrible than the death that
surrounded him on every hand! He
looked again, and the pallor became
moro terrible, with the set terror of
despair. He recognized the spot
where he had rested in the morning
and from which he had crawled to
the first gully! 1t was his foot that
had broken the sage bush, and all
these hours of superhuman toll had
availed only to bring him back to
his starting point! Then he rose
erect, no longer creeping, no longer
skulking. but upright, as God meant
man to walk, and took the direction
in which lay the mist that was a
mountain.
Hours passed again! The sun had
almost touched the top Of the noun

of but one wish, to reach the shelter
of the mountains, and there to find
water, and, drinking, perchance to
die.
Long shadows ran out to meet
him: a cooler air from the mountain

he caught a sheen of light, where the
last sun rays struck falling stream.
