The Discovery Of
Sandy Carotson
By J. w. SHUTS, nj. D.

massive growth of the coarsest hair that
ever saw on human being. His beard
was of the same coarseness and grew TO
within an inch of his eyes, while that
upon his neck seemed to be just as thick
and coarse as that upon his head and
face. Even his huge hands were covered
with it, with little tufts occupying the
spaces between the joints of his fingers.
The color was that cheap red that is
generally termed sandy. His eyebrows
were SO shaggy that they reminded one
Of the roof over the platform of a depot.
Those brows shaded q pair Of the softest.
brightest blue eyes that l ever looked
into.
As he sat there with head bowed in ap-
parent meditation he reminded me of a
great shaggy lion in absolute repose, but
when spoken 20 he would instantly raise
his massive head and elevate his eye
brows. when the shaggness would disap-
pear and the corners of his great mouth
would assume an elevated position His
countenance would be wreathed in a
smile as benign and bland as that of
child, and I would feel the greatest desire
TO part his massive beard to see If his
whole face partook OF the same smile.
In looking into the face of this man,
when having his whole attention, he re-
minded us Of the colossal head OF ''Zeus,"
the chief deity Of the ancient Greeks
His voice was a wonder. 1t commenced
as a prolonged croaking of a huge must
and gently blended into a pleasant must
cal apology for disturbing the peace. In
passing him, would have great inclna-
ton to pat or stroke him. If beset with
danger l should have felt that same Sc
curity in him that Lygia so much depend
ed upon when Ursus was near her.
1 tried to think how he would look if
shorn of his beard, it was so heavy and
SO coarse and so yellow. I imagined. if
closely shaven. his face would look as if
smeared with a coat Of yellow ochre. He
seemed so grateful for what l had done
for him l believed he would have permit
ted me to have sacrificed his whiskers If
by so doing It would have pleased me.
Thinking that possibly from the loss Of
blood he might feel the need of a stimu
liant. / asked him to take a drink. I'M
agine my surprise when he touched my
arm softly with his great big hand and
with Us to the "Walrus'' hotel where a
man said TO me: He never harmed any
one" l asked what was the cause of the
shooting, when he told me that it was an
accident, the shot being meant for a fell
low who was playing lead nickles in the
slot machine and mad been fired by the
bartender.
l lost sight of Martin and Spencer, but
was regaied that night (Which is a mis-
homer. for there is no time now but what
the sun can be seen as it dips at mid
night to nearly the northern horizon and
rises again to verify the name-the Land
of the Midnight SUM
Three weeks after landing our outfit
was complete for our journey to Mount
Tanklet. 1t consisted of two pack burros
and six Digs. By this time 1 had cult
waited such a friendship for the big man
