he had more fondness for outdoor
sports than for studies, and became

PROLOGUE

A face haunted Cameron-a wom-
ans face. It was there in the white
heart of the dying campfire; it hung
in the shadows that lowered over the
Pickering light; it drifted In the dark
ness beyond.
This hour, when the day had closed
and the lonely desert night set in with
it's dead silence, was one in which
Cameron's mind was thronged with
memories Of time long past-of a
home back in Peoria, OF a woman he
had wronged and lost, and loved too
late. He was prospector for gold
a hunter of solitude, a lover of the
dread, rock-ribbed infnitude, because
he wanted to be alone to remember.
Then a sharp clink Of metal on
stone and soft pads of hoofs in sand
prompted Cameron to reach for his
gun, and to move out of the light of
the waning campfire.
Figures darker than the gloom ap-
preached and took shape, and in the
light turned out to be those of a white
man and a heavily packed burro.
Hello there" the man called, as
he came to a halt and gazed about
him. II saw your fire. May I make
camp here?''
Cameron came forth out Of the
shadow and greeted his visitor, whom
he took for a prospector like himself.

me one place Is the same as another, ="
replied his companion. Then with
gentle slaps he drove his burro in be-
hind Cameron. YES, I'm old. I'm
lonely, too. It's come to me lust
lately. But, friend, / can still travel,
and for a few days my company won't

Have it your way" said Cameron.
They began slow march down
into the desert. At sunset they camped
under the lee Of low mesa. Cam
. eron was glad his comrade had the
Indian habit of silence. Another DAYS

the Wilderness Then there came a

rade. and found him different from
any other he had ever encountered in
the wilderness This man never
grnmbled at the heat, the glare, the
driving sand, the sour water. the
scant fare. He was tireless, patient
brOoding.
Cameron's awakened interest brought
home to him the realization that for
years he had stunned companionship.
In those years only three men had
wandered into the desert with him,
and these had left their bones to
bleach in the shifting sands. Cameron
had not cared to know their secrets.
But the more he studied this latest
comrade the more he began to suspect
that he might have missed something
in the others. In his own driving pas:

where he could be alone with it, he
had forgotten that life dealt shocks to
other men. Somehow this silent COM
rade reminded him.
One afternoon late, after they had
toiled up white, winding wash of
sand and gravel, they came upon

ed the law of the desert.
The stranger thanked him, and then
slipped the pack from his burro.
Then he rolled out his pack and began
preparations for a meal. The camp
fire burst into bright blaze, and by
it's light Cameron saw man whose
gray hair somehow did not seem to
make him old, and whose stopped
shoulders did not detract from an i'm
preston Of rugged strength.
Another of those strange desert
prospectors in whom there was some
relentless driving power besides the
lust for gold! Cameron felt that be-
tween this man and himself there was
a subtle affinity, vague and underlined,
perhaps born of the adivination that
here was desert wanderer like him
self, perhaps born Of a: deeper, an I'M
intelligible relation having it's roots
back in the, past. : long forgotten
sensation stirred In Cameron's breast,
one so long forgotten that he could
not recognize it. But it was akin to
pain.
When. he awakened he. found; to- hts
surprise, that his companion had de-
parted. A trail in the sand led off to
the north: There was NO water: in
that direction: Cameron shrugged his
shoulders; it was, not his affair; he
had his own problems. And straightt
way he forgot his strange visitor
Cameron began his day, grateful for
the solitude: that was now unbroken,
for the canon-furrowed,, cactus!spired
scene that now showed mo- sign Of
life. While it was yet light and he
was digging in a moist white-bordere1
wash for water, he was brought
sharply up by hearing the crack Of
hard hoofs on stone There down the:
canon came man on a burro.' Cam
eron recognized them.
Hello, friend" called the man, halt
ing. "Our trails crossed again-that's
good"
"Hello," replied Cameron slowly.
"Any mineral sign today?' r.; =
: mo" - $3.50
They made camp together, ate their
frugal meal, smoked pipe, and rolled
in their blankets without exchanging
many words. In the morning the same
reticence, the same alaofness charac-
terized the manner of both. But Cam
eron's companion, when he had packed
his burro and was2ready to start, faced
about and said I'VE might stay to-
gether, if it's all right with you"

Cameron. T5,s<2f: -;

other mildly. LISA big place. If we
find gold there1l be enough for two"
II don't go down into. the desert

His companions deep-set, luminous
eyes emitted a singular flash. 1t
moved Cameron to say that in the
years Of his wandering he had met
no man who could endure equally with
him the blasting heat, the binding
dust storms, the wilderness of sand
and rock and lava and cactus, the ter
rible silence and deso1ation of the
desert. Il may strike through the
Sonora desert. I may head for Pima

a slow stir stealing warmer along his
veins, and at the premonition that per-

desert, driven there by life's mysterl-
Gus and remorseless motive, We're to
see each other through Gods eyes.
One night they were encamped at
the head of canon. The day had
been exceedingly hot. and long after
