The violent exertion Of reaching the
height had started the ruptured artery
anew, and his first work was crudely
TO cleanse the wound and attempt to
rebandage It. He was hungry. but for
this there was only one alleviation-
sleep-and. carefully effacing all traces
of his presence on the ledge. he
crawied into his rock retreat and fell
again Into q heavy siumber.
1t was this repose that proved his
undolng. He woke to consciousness so
weak he could scarcely lift his head. It
was still day. A consuming thirst as
sailed him, but he lacked the strength
60 crawl out Of his cave, and, looking
toward his bandaged foot. he was
shocked at the sight Of how 1t had bled
while he slept.
Toward afternoon his restlessness In
creased. but he chung to his resolve to
lie still. By evening he was burning
with thirst. and when morning came
after a feverish night. with his head
on fire and his mouth crusted dry. he
concluded rightly that one or both OF
his wounds had become infected.
De Spain understood what IL meant.
He looked regretfully at the injured
foot. Swollen out of shape and angry
looking. the mere appearance would
have told him, had the confirmation
been needed. that his situation was
becoming critical. This did not so
much discomfort him as 1t surprised
him and spurred him mentally to the
necessity Of new measures. He lay a
long time thinking. Against the infec-
aid at his hand was abundance OF cold
water to drink and battle his wound In.
and to this he resolved now 10 drag
himself. To crawl across the space
that separated him from the pool re-
Quired all the strength he could sum-
mon. The sun was already well up
and Its rays shot like spectrum arrows
through the spray OF the dainty cat
aract, which spurted In jeweled sheet
over a rocky ledge twenty feet above
and poured noislly down from the
broad pool along jagged powders be-
low.
Crawling. choking with thirst, slow
ly forward. he reached the water, and.
reclining on his side and one elbow, he
was about 20 lean down to drink when
ne suddenly felt. with some kind Of an
distinctive shock. that he was no long
