There was stiff breeze blowing.

The Eye In the Wall

Privates Thomas and Williams Of
Company ., Third infantry, stationed
st Fort Pinto, were the first TO dis
cover what was afterward called the
eve In the wall. One day when or
duty they went prospecting in the
mountains to the west OF the fort. In
their rambles they entered ravine or
canyon and traversed 1t for half mile
before finding chance to climb out
A short while before climbing out
they discovered flaming eye in the
rocky wall on their left and about
forty feet above their heads. 1t glar-
cd and scintillated and flashed, and,
though the men were laboring under
considerable excitement over being
lost, they marked the curious thing
well and had much to say about it aft
er reaching the post In safety.
During the. next three months, when
men We're searching every day, some

vine and followed 1t up, but none
caught sight of the eve In the wall. II
was the only thing talked about in bar
racks. 1t was soon settled that it was
a diamond, and a monstrous large one
at that. and that the value could not
be much less than half d million dol
lars. Tina talk and the hunt for 1t soon
began TO tell on discipline, and in a
general order the commandant forbade
any one to search further.
The discoveries OF the eye in the
wall had to abandon their search but
they did not cease to talk and plot and
plan. A month later, as both were on
sentry duty the same night, they de-
serted.
The colonel realized that they must
be recaptured at once or their example
would be followed by others, and a de-
tail was sent out and put ia week s
hard work. Then came news that the
Indians were again Oh the warpath,
and the detail was driven Ia. 1t brought
in Williams however. He had met
with fall and lain for three days with
broken leg, and 1t was only by chance
that he had been discovered
He said the pair Of them had been
exploring rayines for week or more
when Thomas began to act so strange
~ that his fellow deserter became
afraid of him, He continually NUT

the eye was found it should belong TO
him alone. Two or three times be

at length the latter lodged him and

He could give no further information
about Thomas.

was only forty or fifty feet above his
