deserts face. II seemed to lift his
spirit and to cradle il. Then he
breathed his prayers-they took form,
and in his sleep he repeated the Ave
Maria and the Paternoster, and the
words rolled and rolled over the
deserts face and the duplication
seemed to his feverish mind to mingle
with the stars.
A sort Of midnight dew fell upon
him: SO at least he thought. and it
seemed to him a heavenly dew and to
cover him like benignant rain. He
grew cooler. He prayed again, and
with his words there. came to the
young man an ineffable sense Of peace.
He pillowed his fading thoughts upon
It; he pillowed his aching mind upon
1t and his body, too, and the pain of
his wound and he thought aloud, with
only the night airs to heap him, in
broken sentences: IF this is death it
is not so bad. One should rather be
afraid of life. This is not difficult, II
| should ever get out of here shall
not regret this night"
Toward morning he grew calmer, he
turned to speak to his little compan.
ion. In his troubled thoughts he had
forgotten Pitchoune.
Sabron family called him. There
was no response Then the soldier
listened In silence. 1t was absolutely
unbroken. Not even the call OF a
night-bird-not even the cry of a by.
ena-nothing came to him but the In
articulate voice Of the desert. Great
and solemn awe crept up to him, crept
up to him like a spirit and sat down
by his side. He felt his hands grow
cold, and his feet grow cold. Now, un.
able to speak aloud. there passed
through his mind that this. indeed, was
death, desertion absolute in the heart
of the plains
