The Washington herald., 1914-10-25

She found him insensible, lying with IN arm
bent under him In pose frightfully suggestive Of
dislocation. Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no sign to indicate
that the movement had caused him the slightest
pain.
There was a slight cut upon his brow, q bruise
about his left temple She tore linen from her
bosom, beneath her coarse flannel shirt, and with
sparng aid from the canteen, washed the cut clean
and bandaged II.
Then, seeing that the storm held with fury un-
abated, she rose, reconnoitered and returned to
exert all her strength and drag the unconscious
man across the dry bed Of that ancient water
course and. under the lee of its farther bank.
There, sitting, she pillowed his head upon her
lap, and bending over him made her body an addi-
tional shelter to him from the swirling clouds of
dust
And for hours end Judith nursed him there,
scarce daring to move save to minister to his
needs, bathing his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat.
In the course of the first hour she was once
startled by the spectral vision through the driving
sheets of dust of horse that plodded up the
arroyo bearing two riders on its back.
Weary with the weight Of its double burden, 1t
went slowly and passed SO near to Judith that she
was able to recognize the features of her sister
and Tom Barcus.
Be sure she made never a sign to catch their
attention,
light lost something Of its hot brilliance took on
a darker shade and then one darker still Twi-
light stole athwart the desert turning its heat to
chill, its light to violet.
Growing more intense, the cold eventually reused
the sleeping man.
And hardly had his eyes Enclosed and looked up
into the eyes of Judith bending over him than he
started up and out Of her embrace, got unsteadily
upon his feet and after a moment at pause, watch
ing her rise in turn, strode away-or rather, stag
geBed-Bith the gesture of exorcism.
Uncomplafning. hugging her newborn humility
to her with the ecstasy Of the anchorite his horse
hair shirt Judith followed him patiently at little
distance.
Not far from where he had rested there was
break in the oyerhanging wall Of the arroyo
Through this he scrambled painfully, reaching the
level of the desert only after cruel effort, the
needed woman at his heels.
brief pause there afforded both time to regain
their breath and survey the desert for signs of as
sistance: it offered none, other than what they
might accomplish through their own exertions. For
leagues in any quarter it stretched without break
other than the black cleft Of the arroyo, cleaning
a bleaehed and deathly white in the moonshine-
like the face Of frozen world 'a
With tacit consent both turned that way, Alan
leading Judith his pertnacious shadow, with never
q word or sign between them to prove that either
was aware Of the others company.
But this was state of affairs that could not long
endure Judith had the price to pay for her own
trials suffering and privation: the strain began to

made better time upon the broad lower level than
those who followed the ridge trail BY mid-mon-
ing, when they approached the foothills that ran
down to the desert, the pursuitevas more than
mile in the rear and shut OF to boot by mono
lithic hill, while Alan was many weary mile In
advance.
He sat upon his horse, Just then, at standstin
upon the summit Of rounded knoll, the Painted
hills lifting up behind him, the desert before
folding like map
Descending the knoll he refined his tagging mount
back into the trail following its winding course
through the foothills and round the base Of that
monolithic mountain toward the junction with the
ridge trail, miles away.
It approached the hour Of noon before he gained
the point where the two trails Joined and struck
out across the desert. And here he discovered
what he thought indisputable indications that the
fright Of Judiths horse had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion Of returning
through the hills by the ridgetrail, he turned and
swung away at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho delivering himself into the ptiless en-
brace Of that implacable wilderness of sun and
sand.
At long intervals he would check the broncho
and reeling in the saddle, endeayor to sweep the
desert with his binoculars.
And toward the middle Of the afternoon he fan
cied that something rewarded one such effort:
something for an instant swan athwart the field Of
the glasses: something that seemed to move like a
weary horse with human figure bound to its
back.
But now phenomena were discernible which, had
he been more desert wise would have made him
pause and think before he adventured farther from
those hills, already beyond reach they were.
His first appreciated warning came when the
surface of the desert seemed to lift and shake like
the top of = canvas tent in a gale. At the same

time . mighty gust Of wind swept athWart the
waste hot q furnaceblast. In trics dust
veloped man and horse, q sitting cloud Of super
heated particles that stung the flesh like q myriad
needles. And then darkness fell, the twilight Of
hades, q coppercolored pail Nothing remained
visible beyond arms length.
Blinded, half sufocated, unspeakably dismayed
and bewildered, the broncho swung round back to
the blast, and refused to bulge another inch
Himself more than halfdazed, but still bounded
by his nightmare vision of Judith, Alan dismounted
to escape being torn bodily from the saddle by that
heish sand-blast, and seizng the bride sought to
draw the horse with him.
He wasted his strength in that endeavor: the ami
NAL baked, planted its hoofs deep in the sand,
stifened its legs and resisted with the stubborn
ness of a rock; then. Of sudden, jerked its head
smartly, snapped the bride from his grasp and
flung away, scudding before the storm.
Pursuit out of the question: indeed the bri-
die barely torn from his hand before Alan lost
sight Of the broncho.
For q moment he stood rooted in CONSERVATION
as in a bog-with an arm upthrown across his face.
Then the thought Of Judith recurred. :.
Head bended and shoulders rounded, he began
to forge way into the teeth Of the sandstorm.
How long he fought on, pitting his strength
against the elements, cannot be reckoned.
In the end he stumbled blindly down a slight
decline and was abruptly conscious that he had in
some way found shelter from the full force of the
wind.
He staggered on another yard or two breathing
more freely, and blundered into roughribbed wall
of rock-some sporadic outcrop, he understood,
whose bulk stood between him and the storm.
He thought to rest for a time until the storm had
spent its greatest strength; but as he laid his
shoulder gratefully against the rock and scrubbed
the dust from his smarting eyes he what he at
first conceived to be hallucination: Judith Trfne
standing within yard of him, alive, strong. free.
He stared incredulously, saw her recognize him,
open her mouth to utter wondering cry that was
inaudible, and come quickly nearer.
Alan! You came to me! You followed me,
through all this!"
He threw on her hand with q bitter laugh-that
was like the croaking Of raven as 1t issued from
his bone-dry throat-and in a momentary posses
sion Of hysteric madness, reeled away from the
woman and the shelter Of the rock and delivered
himself anew to the mercy Of the dust-storm.
