duction Harry Carey. as Cheyenne
Harry, struggles across a hopeless
dessert waste with the wounded leader
of bandit gang. Before them stretchd
the trackless white immensely of the
eternal sands. They walked at first.
Then came the prostration of thirst,
and hey crawled.
AS the great thirst encircled them
and the white mantel of death, theft
eyes found an oasis on the sacred hor-
lion; white city of prophyry and
cedar, set like a jewel in the fangs of
the hills. With strength born of hope
they struggled on. The city faded
from their gaze; a mirage of the des-
sert. In it's place, towering over the
drifting sands, arose black and
barren butte.
