He had lost about 40 pounds weight.
'He proved deaf to all but loud sounds and so blind
as to distinguish nothing save light and dark. The
mucous membrane lining mouth and throat was Shrlv
eled cracked and blackened and his tongue shrunken
to a mere bunch of black integument His extremities
were cold no pusaton could be detected at his wrists
and there apparently little if any, circulation be-
yond the knees and elbows.
After hours of heroic treatment and three days of
judicous nursing Prof MCGEE rewarded to see
Pablos reason return Five days later he got the sick
to Yuma in wagon.
It seems that Pablo had reached the 'lost mines"
on the morning following his parting with Jesus He
collected some specimens erected monuments, and
posted notices for a mineral claim. Then at midday
he began his search for road described to him falsely
by his late companion, and from then on struggled
aimlessly over the battling sands Then, his water
exhausted he abandoned his nuggets and threw away
his coat and remaining food
On the third day. when the average man would have
been call in" he stripped himself of clothing threw
away everything, and deliberate set about seeking
trails He found the heat too intense, lay in arroyas
during the day and dragged himself northward by night
eating flies spiders scorpion anything which
promised moisture. He had now become convinced
that his partner had deliberately msed and abandoned
him, in the hope of securing his mine, and he deter
mined to down and knife his deceiver. His wrath,
squirting him on, was in Prof. McGee'S oplnlon-
a potent incentive which enabled him finally to over
come the desert Finally, on the fifth day, he found
the Yuma TRAIL apparently 50 miles from Prof McGees
camp. He stumbled along and painfully Crawled
miles of this distance trailed by coyotes and accom-
panied by vultures at arms length waiting for the end
Purpose Stronger Than Soul
On the eighth day at early dawn he half and then
ran his hands the guide post which stood miles
from camp This was his crushing blow, as he had
pictured himself within a few steps of the camp AS
the sun rose he sought the shade of shrub and knet
in final prayer. Then he laid himself down with feet
and face to the eastward and made the sign of the cross
composing himself for the end. Then came hau-
cnaton that with the rising of the he died; that his
soul lowered about his body 10th to leave it to the pa
tienty waiting vultures He lay there all day, and
night still seemed to be apart from his body he
it proceeding along the most trying stretch of the
"Devils Highway" pushing onward, onward in its
purpose of vengeance. He crept forward, until at
early dawn of the ninth day his consciousness knew itself
the camp, and he beloved the final call which
awoke Prof. MCGEE and Jose This is desert record
without parallel Half the victims of desert thirst die
within thrtysx hours of deprvation another quarter
within forty-eight to fifty hours, and the remainder
within seventy to eighty hours or hardly half of Pabos
record.

ut must be Pablo; take the
canteen," cried Prof. MCGEE.
Jose mechanically seized a
canteen and made off down the
trail, the professor following
with another canteen and a
medicine case.
On the arroyo sands, at the
foot of the Mesa of the Forty
Graves, they came upon the
wreck of Pablo. "He was
stark naked; his formerly full
muscled legs and arms were
shrunken and scrawny; his ribs
ridged out like those of a starv-
ing horse; his habitually pleth-
oric abdomen was drawn in
almost against his vertebral
column; his lips had disappear
ed as if amputated, leaving low
edges of black tissue. His teeth
and gums projected like those
of a skinned animal, but the
flesh was black and dry. His
nose was withered and shrunken
to half its length, his eyes were
set in a winkless stare and with
surrounding skin contracted.
His face was as dark as a
negro's and his skin generally
turned a CHASTITY purplish yet
ashy gray, with great livid
blotCheS and StreakS.

mer by Prof w. J. MCGEE, the well-known government
preciae the remarkableness of this story, will first
refer to an instance of years ago, when Doctor
Tanner in making forty-day FAST endured the first
ten days of the without swallowing water. He,
however, after few days, frequently rinsed his mouth
consumed little or no ud for this period The effect
of the water fast terrible Toward the end of the
period Tanner became almost crazy. He grew irrta-
ble restless savage and could scarcely sleep His eyes
assumed Wild crazed look his body shrunk greatly
and his skin had CHASTITY hue in every particular he
seemed to be a starved man.

and even forty days and
4 over are not unknown to
science and, in several
instances, to the reading public.
Incredible as it may seem to
the average person, who, if he
misses a single meal, acquires a
headache, or comes pretty near
to getting "sick," the human
constitution, if the mind is made
up on the subject, and free
from worry, is capable of the
most tremendous food absti-
nence. It is stated that four
ffths Of the people who "starve"
to death, when shipwrecked or
otherwise stranded with little or
no food, would, if their minds
were at rest on the question of
their starving, and they could
eliminate worry, pull through
to safety.
Water is of much greater i'm
portance than food. Moisture
constitutes a great proportion of
the body, outside of the bones,
and the system cannot endure
long without it. Probably the
most remarkable record of the
terrible "desert thirst" where the
man survived and recovered was

WATER AS A BEVERAGE.


After Peppermint Drop.
"Water is the feet drink in the
world" said tho eiicuc in little
things, but not every one knows how
to get the most enjoyment out Of
drinking it.
'for instance, water should never be
drunk Immediately after an apple has
seen eaten for as a beverage it then
has taste more fiat and insipid than
us If 1t had been taken from Il cold
teakettle.
"On the other hand, there is nothing

"And while peppermint stands at the
