SHABBY HOUSE OR SHABBY MIND

Haven't you been in houses where
lovely flowers stood all about, and
everything was spick-and-span, but
the library table was strewn with
papers and magazines of the trashiest

have the furniture of the house the
best that money can buy, and to fur
nish the mind with silly and disrepu-
table things in the way of reading?
Better by far have shabby house
than shabby mind. The shabby fur

PROLOGUE

A face haunted Cameron wom-
ans face. 1t was there in the white
heart Of the dying campfire; 1t hung
in the shadows that lowered over the
fickering light: 1t 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 time long past-of a
home back In Peoria, OF a woman he
had wronged and lost, and loved too
late. He was a prospector for gold
q hunter of solitude, lover Of the
dread, rock-ribbed inflnitude, 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 white
man and heavily packed burro.
Hello there" the man called, as
he came to a halt and gazed about
him. Il saw your fire. May make
camp here7"
Cameron came forth out Of the
shadow and greeted his visitor, whom
he took for q 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 his burro.
Then he rolled out his pack and began
preparations for q meal. The camp
fire burst into q bright blaze, and by
Its light Cameron saw q man whose
gray hair somehow did not seem to
make him old, and whose stopped
shoulders did not detract from IN Inn
preston Of rugged strength.
Another Of those strange desert
prospectors In whom there was some
relentless driving power besides the
lust for goldi Cameron felt that b.
tween this man and himself there was
q subtle affinity, vague and underlined,
perhaps born Of the divination that
here was . desert wanderer like him
self. perhaps born Of q deeper. an un-
intelligible relation having its roots
back In the past. A long-forgotten
sensation stirred In Cameron's breast,
one SO long forgotten that he could
not recognize II. But 1t was akin to
pain.
When ne awakened he found. to his
surprise that his coinrani.. had de-
parted tran In the sand led of to
the north. There was no water II
that direction. Cameron shrugged hi
shoulders: 1t WAS not his affair:
Ind his own problems- And straight
way he forgot his strange visitor
Cameron began his day, grateful for
the solitude that was now unbroken.
