thirst, concealing It, each giving his
water to the other and the sacrifice
had been useless.
Instead OF ministering TO the
parched Threats Of one or both, the
water had evaporated When Cam
eron made sure of this, he took one
more drink, the last, and poured the
little water left into Warren's can
teen. He threw his own away.
Soon afterward Warren discovered
the loss.
Where's your canteen?" he asked
"The heat was getting my water
so l drank what was left"
'AIy s0nir said Warren.
The day opened for them In red
and green hell of rock and cactus.
Like a flame the sun scorched and
peeled their faces. Warren went
blind from the glare. and Cameron
had to lead him At last Warren
plunged down, exhausted, In the shade

Cameron rested and waited, hope

however, stepped in a deep pit, and,
cutting his canteen in half, began to
use one side of it as a scoop. He
scooped out a wide hollow, So wide
that Cameron was certain he had gone
crazy. Cameron gently urged him to
stop, and then forcibly tried to make
him. But these efforts were futile.
Warren worked with slow, ceaseless, !
methodical IN vement. He toiled for
what seemed hours. Cameron seeing
the darkening, dampening sand, real
lied a wonderful possibility Of water
and he plunged into the pit with the
other half of the canteen. Then both !
men tolled, round and round the wide |
hole down deeper and deeper The |
sand grew moist. then wet. At the |
bottom of the deep pit the sand coars-
ened, gave place to gravel Finally |
water welled in, a stronger volume /
than Cameron ever remembered find |
ing on the desert.
The finding of water revived Cam
eron's tagging hopes. But they were |
short-lived. Warren had spent him

pieces of broken ledge, and they
showed gold.
Warren Look See til Feel it !

But Warren was zoo blind to see.
"Go-go!" he whispered.
Cameron gazed down the gray
reaches of that forlorn valley, and
something within him that was nei-
Their intelligence nor emoton-some
thing inscrutably strange-impelled
him to promise.
Then Cameron built up stone manu-
ments to mark his gold strike. That
done, he tarried beside the uncon-
scious Warren. Moments passed
grew into hours. Cameron still had
strength left to make an effort to get
out of the desert. But that same in
scrutable something which had or
dered his strange, involuntary promise
to Warren held him beside his fallen
comrade. AS the long hours wore on
he felt creep over him the comfort
ing sense that he need not forever
fight sleep. Absolute silence claimed
the desert. It was mute. Then that
inscrutable something breathed to
him, telling him when he was alone.
He need not have looked at the dark,
still face beside him.
Another face haunted Cameron's-a
woman's face. 1t was there in the
white mOonlit shadows; 1t drifted in
the darkness beyond; it softened,
changed to that of a young girl, sweet,
with the same dark, haunting eyes of
her mother. Cameron prayed to that
thing within him, the spirit |
of something deep ana mystical as
life. He prayed for mercy to wom-

an-for happiness to her child. Both
mother and daughter were close to
him then. Time and distance were
annihllated. He had faith-he saw
into the future The fateful threads
of the past, so lnextrieably woven
with his error, wound out their tragic
length here in this forlorn desert.
Cameron then took a little tin box
from his pocket, and, opening it, re-
moved a folded certificate. He had
kept a pen, and now he wrote some
thing upon the paper, and in lieu Of
ink he wrote with blood. The moon
afforded him enough light to see; and
having replaced the paper, he laid the
little box upon a shelf of rock It
would remain there unaffected by
dust, moisture, heat, time. How long
had those painted images been there
clear and sharp on the dry stone
walls? Years would pass. Cameron
seemed to see them, too; and likewise
destiny leading a child down into this
forlorn waste, where she would find
love and fortune, and the grave Of her
father.
Cameron covered the dark, still face
of his comrade from the light of the
waning moon.
That action was the severing Of his
hold on realities. They fell away
from him in final separation. Vaguely
dreamily he seemed to behold his
soul. Night merged into gray day;
and night came again, weird and dark /
