early in the eycniag with the ther-

shivering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
Of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point Of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging. golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes

Of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un-

Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ball Of
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains. as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude by the broad
light OF day, quickly resume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
durance of the garish light and
blazing heat Of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like bubble. Only
