PROLOGUE

A face haunted Cameron-a wom- ans face. IL was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; II hung in the shadows that lowered over the nickeriny light; it drifted in the dark ness beyond.
 This hour. when the day had closed and the lonely desert night set in with its dead silence was one in which Cameron's mind was thronged with memories of a time long past-of home back in Peoria, Of woman he had wronged and lost, and loved too late. He was a prospector for gold, a hunter of solitude, a lover of the dread. rock-ribbed intinitude. because he wanted to be alone 10 remember.
 Then sharp ctink of metal on stone and soft pads of hoofs in sand prompted Cameron 10 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 he those of white man and a heavily packed burro.
 Hello there" the man called, as he came to 4 halt and gazed about him. I saw your fire May l make camp here?'
 Cameron came forth out of the shadow and greeted his visitor, whom he took for prospector like himself Cameron resented the breaking of his lonely campfire vigil but he respect ed the law of the desert.
 The stranger thanked him. and then slipped the pack from hs hurro Then he rolled out his pack and began preparations for meal. The camp fire burst into a bright blaze, and hy its light Cameron saw a man whose gray hair somehow did not seem to make him old, and whose stopped shoulders did not detraet from an inn precision 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 subtle affinity, vague and undetined, perhaps born of the divination that here was a desert wanderer like him self, perhaps born of deeper, an un- intelligible relation having its roots back in the past long forgotten sensation stirred in Gamerons breast, one so long forgotten that he could not recognize it. But 1t was akin to pain.

When he awakened he found, to his 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 straight way he forgot his strange visitor
 Cameron began his day, grateful for the solitude that was now unbroken. for the -furrowed, cactus spired scene that now showed no sign of life. While it was yet light. and he was digging in moist white bordered wash for water, he was brought sharply up by hearing the crack of hard hoofs on stone. There down the canon came d man on a burro. Cam eron recognized them.
 Hello. friend" called the man, halt ing Our trails crossed again-that's s good"
 Hello replied Cameron slowly. Any mineral sign today?"
 "No."
 They made camp together, ate their frugal meal, smoked pipe, and rolled in their blankets without exchanging many words. In the morning the same retieenee, the same aloofness charac-

terized the manner of both. But Cam eron's companion. when he had packed his burro and was ready 10 start, faced about and said: We might stay to- gether, if it's all right with you"
 'I never take partner" replied Cameron.
 You're alone; I'm alone said the other mildly, Its big place. If we find gold therell be enough for two
 Il don't go down into the desert for gold alone" rejoined Cameron.
 His companions deep-set, luminous eyes emitted a singular flash. It 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 desolation of the desert. II may strike through the sonora desert. l may head for Pima, cate or north for the Colorado basin. You are an old man."

 Have it your way" said Cameron.
 They began slow march down into the desert. Al sunset they camped under the lee of low mesa. Cam eron was glad his comrade had the Indian habit of silence. Another days travel found the prospectors deep in the wilderness. Then there came breaking of reserve, noticeable in the elder man, almost imperceptibly grad ual in Cameron, And so, as Cameron began to respond to the influence of

 At times the border between the United States and Mexico becomes a yeritabIe No Mans land,' as dan- perous as any territory that existed In pioneer days. There is great unwri.ten history of the experiences of present-day settlers, rangers and soldiers that Is fine material for the novelist, especially for one with the talents of Zane Grey, who loves his modern West, who has caught It's spirit, and who sees if in all its as- poets with a clear eye.
 Evansville, Ohio, was his birthplace, and he is descended from the famous Zane family which figured so largely In pioneer history. Although he passed through the public schools of his na- tive place and graduated from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania with credit, he had more fondness for outdoor sports than for studies, and became q distinguished player of amateur, col ieee and professional baseball. After 8 short residence in New York city he became attracted to the West and adopting writing career, has become about the most prominent exponent in America of Virile, western literature.

weird and mystic snadOws. nKe rne darkness of his passion, and farther on down the moon track and the gilt tering stretches that vanished in the silent hall of desert there was spirit; and Cameron felt lowering near him what he imagined to be phantoms of peace.
 He returned to camp and sought his comrade.
 'I reckon we're two of kind" he said Ut was a woman who drove me into the desert But l come to re- member The deserts the only place I can do that"
 "Was she your wife3' asked the elder man.
 "No."
 A long silence ensueo The camp fire wore down to a ruddy ashen heap.
 'I had a daughter" said Cameron's comrAde. "She lost her mother at birth. And I-I didn't know how to bring up a girl She was pretty and gay. It was the-the old story"
 His words were peculiarly signif cant to Cameron They distressed him. He had been wrapped up in his remorse If ever in the past he had thought of anyone connected with the girl he had wronged, he had long forgotten But the consequences of such wrong were far-reaching. They struck at the roots of home.
 Well. tell me morer asked Cam eron earnestly.
 1t was the old. old story. My girl was pretty and free. The young bucks ran after her. guess she did not run away from them. And I was away good deal-working in another town. She was in love with a wild fellow. I knew nothing of it till too late. He was engaged to marry her. But he didn't come back And when the dis grace became plain to all my girl Jeff home. She went west. After while l heard from her. She was we'll working-living for her baby. long time passed. l had no ties. l drifted west. Her lover had also gone west In those days everybody went west. l trailed him. intending to kill him But l lost his trail Neither could l find any trace of her She moved on. driven, no doubt. by the hound of her past Since that I have taken to the wilds, hunting gold on the desert.

 Peoria
 And your-your name?' went OH Cameron, huskily.
 'Warren-Jonas Warren"
 That name might as well have been bullet. Cameron stood erect, mo- tionlesS. as men sometimes stand mo- mentarily when shot straight through the heart. In an instant. when thoughts reSurged like blinding flashes of lightning through his mind he was swaying quiyering. terror-stricken man. He mumhed something hOarSe- ly and backed into the shadow. But he need not have feared discovery, however surely his agitation might have l.etrayed him. Warren sat brood ing over the campfire, oblivious of his comrade absorbed in the past.
 Cameron swiftly walked away in the gloom. with the blood drumming thick in his ears. whispering over and over:
