CHAPTER /.
The ProspectOr


For five years he had journeyed
between the little desert sta
tion on the Mojave and the
range to the north. The towns
people paid scant attention to him.
He was simply another desert
rat" obsessed with the idea that
gold was to be found In these
northern hills. He bought supplies
and paid grudgingly. No one knew
his name.
The prospector was much young
or than he appeared to be. Slowly
his mind had been squeezed dry of
all human interest save the men,
ory of child's face-that, and the
memory of the child's mother. For
10 years he had been trying to
forget. The last five years on the
desert had dimmed the woman's
visioned face as the child came
more often between him and the
memory OF the mother In his
dreams.
Finally the desert flung wide the
secret portals of her treasure
house and gave royalty like a
courtesap of kings.
A narrow canyon held his secret.
He had wandered into 1t, PANIED
q little black sand, and found color.
Finally he discovered the fountain
head OF the boarded yellow partic-
les that spell Power.
He again journeyed to the town
beside the railroad. bought sup
plies and vanished. Back In the
canyon he set about his labors,
Finding a numbing solace in toll.

his conteen. Carefully he slowed
his gold i'll a chamois pouch and
prepared to leave the canyon. His
burro had strayed during the
drought-was probably dead be-
side some dry water-hole.
The prospector set out to cross
the range in the light of the stars.
Fearful that he might be seen,
panic warped his reasoning. He
planned to journey south along
foothills, until opposite the desert
town and then cross over to 1t. II
he approached from such a direc-
ton, no one would guess his orig
inal starting-place. He knew of an
unfailing water-hole two days
journey from the canyon. This
water-hole was far out OF his way,
but his canteen supply would last
till he reached 1t.
Ominous was his fall as he
crossed an arroyo. The canteen
struck sharp point of rock that
started one of the seams.
When he arrived at the water
hole, that was dry. He changed
his plan. He struck straight from
the hills toward the railroad. He
would Gloss it, perhaps near a
water tann.
Toward the binding afternoon
of that day he stumbled>across the
blazing bars of steel that marked
the railroad. His empty canteen
clattered on the ties as he fell.
He heard man speak and an
other answer. He felt an arm be-
meath his head and water.
Water!
He drank, and his strength
famed up. 1t was not water they
gave him; 1t was merely the taste
of it--a mockery. He wanted
more ALI
He lurched to his feet, strug-
Cling with a bearded giant who
held him from his desire-to drink
until he could drink no more-to
die drinking the water they had
taken from him, even as they gave
1t. He fought blindly. He STUN
bled. A flash wiped all things
from his vision and the long night
came swiftly.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-08

In the desert town men began
to notice the regularity of his COM
ings and goings. Two or three of
them foregathered in the saloon
and commented on 1t.
HE packed dynamite last trip"
asserted one.
Then he's struck 1t at last. F"
said another.
The third man nodded. A
spurred and booted rider, his
swarthy face gray with dust,
|strode in and called for whisky.
Which way did he go, Saun-
ders?" asked one.
North, as usual" said the rider.
Now, see here, boys, we got to
find out IL he's filed on It yet, and
what his name is, and then"
"Mebby we'd better find out
where 1t is first" suggested one.
And then jump him2" queried
the rider.
and then jump him." chorused
the group. Hes out there alone.
It's easy"
Meanwhile the prospector toiled
through the drought of that sum-
mer, boarding the little yellow
flakes he washed from the gravel

At the gate Of the mountain
ranch stood the girl. Her black
saddle-pony, Boyar. fretted to be
away. CHANGING back through the
covernous shade of the live-o oaks,
the girl hesitated before opening
the gate. A little breeze, wayfar-
ing through Moonstone Canyon and
on up to the mountain ranch,
touched the girls cheek.
The gate swung open and
Louise Lacharme, curbing Black
Boyar, rode out into the hot light
of the morning.
The road ran swiftly round the
eastern wall Of the canyon.
On the rise beyond, the girl
drew rein at the beginning of the
Old Meadow Trail, a hidden trail
that led to a mountain meadow.
Boyar first scented the wood
smoke. Louise noticed his for
understanding ears. From down
the slope and almost hidden by
the bulk of rock, a little wand of
smoke stood up in the windles air.
1T can't be much of fire yet I"
exclaimed Louise, forever watch
full, as are all hill-folk, for that red
monster of destruction, a mountain
fire.
