of memory. There was tragic woe in
this sweet face. Nell was holding out
her arms-she was crying aloud to him
across the sand and the cactus and
the lava. she was in trouble, and he
had been forgetting.
That night he climbed the lava to
the topmost cone, and never slipped
on a ragged crust nor touched ehoya
thorn. A voice had called to him.
He saw Nells eyes in the stars, In the
velvet blue of sky, in the blackness of
the engulfng shadows. She was with
him, a slender shape, a spirit, keeping
step with him, and memory was
strong sweet, beating, beautiful. Far
down in the west, family golden with
light of the sinking moon, he saw a
cloud that resembled her face A
cloud on the desert horizon He gazed
and gazed Was that a spirit face like
the one by his side2 No--he did not
dream.
In the hot. sultry morning Yaqul
appeared at camp, after long hours of
absence, and he pointed with a long,

clouds was rising above tile mountain
barrier.
"Raini" he cried; and his sonorous
voice rolled down the arroyo.
Those who heard him were as ship
wrecked mariners at sight of dis
tant sail.
Dick Gale, silent, grateful to the
depths of his soul, stood with arm
over Blanco Sof and watched the
Transforming west, where clouds of
wondrous size and hue piled over one
another, rushing, darkenlng, spreading,
sweeping upward toward that white
and glowing sun.
"Ohl I felt drop of rain on my
face !" cried Mercedes; and, whisper
ing the name of a saint, she kissed
her husband.
Ladd, gaunt, old, bent, looked up
at the maelstrom OF clouds, and he
said, softly ashore Wen get in the
bosses, an pack light, an hit the trail,
an make night marches Z!
Then up out of the gulf Of the west
swept believing wind and black
pail and terrible flashes Of lightning
and thunder like the end of the world
fury, blackness, chaos the desert !
storm.

work or play or dream-anything ex
cept sleep. That was Ladd's most In
flexible command He gave no .rea
son. But not improbably the ranger
thought that the terrific heat of the
day spent in slumber lessened a wear
and strain, If not a real danger OF
madness.
Accordingly, at first the occupations
of this little group were many and
various. They worked If they had
something TO do, or could invent a
pretext They told and retold stories
until all were wearisome. They sang
songs. Mercedes taught Spanish
They played every game they knew
They invented others that were so
trivial children would scarcely have
been interested, and these they played
seriously. In a word, with intelll-
gence and passion, with all that was
civilized and human, they fought the
eyer-infringing loneliness, the savage
solitude Of their environment.
Gale believed himself the keenest
of the party, the one who thought
most, and he watched the effect of the
desert upon his companions. For
hours, II seemed, Ladd would bend
over his checkerboard and never
make a move. 1t mattered not now
whether or not he had partner jim

lost that cheerful character which
would have been of such infinite good
to his companions, and always he sat
brooding, silently brooding. Jim had
no ties. few memories, and the desert
was claiming him.
Thorne and Mercedes, however,
were living, wonderful proof that spir-
It, mind, and heart were free-free to
soar I'm scorn of the colossal barren
ness and silence and space Of that
terrible hedging prison of lava They
were young; they loved they were
together; and the oasis was almost a
paradise Thorne and Mercedes had
forgotten the outside world If they
had been existing on the burned-out
desolate moon they could hardly have
been in a harsher, grimmer, lOnelier
spot than this red-walled arroya.
Although the Yaqui was as his
shadow, Gale reached a point when
he seemed to wander alone at twi-
light, in the night, at dawn. At night
he had formed a habit of climbing up
the lava slope as far as the smooth
trail extended, and there on promon-
tory he paced to and fro, and watched
the stars, and sat stone-still for hours

looking down at the vast void with its
at length to realize that the desert
was q teacher He did not realize all
that he had learned, but he was a
different man. And when he decided
upon that he was not thinking Of the
slow, sure call to the primal instincts
of man; he was thinking that the
desert, as much as he had experienced
and no more, would absolutely over
turn the whole scale of mans val
ues, break old halats, form new ones,
remake him. More of desert expert
ence, Gale believed, would be too much
for intellect. The desert did not breed
civilized man.
Thus the nights passed, endlessly
long, with Gale fighting for his old or
der Of thought, fighting the fasclna-
ton Of that infinite sky, and the
gloomy insulating whirl of the wide
shadows, fighting for belief, hope,
prayer, fighting against the terrible
ever-recurrlng idea Of being lost lost,
lost in the desert, fighting harder than
any other thing the insidiOus, pene-
trating, tranquil, unfeeling self that
was coming between him and his mem
DRY.
He felt he was losing the battle
losing HIS hold on tangible things, los
ing his power to stand up under this
bonderous, merciless weight Of desert
space and silence
At the moment he was alone on the
promontory. The night was far spent.
"a CHASTITY moon haunted the black
volcanic spurs. The winds blew ST.
Iently. Was he alone2 No, be did
not seem to be alone. The Yaqui was
there. Suddenly a strange, cold sensa-
ton crept over Gale. It was new.
He felt a presence. Turning, he ex-
pected to see the Indian, but instead,
a slight shadow, pale, almost white,
stood there, not close nor yet distant.
1t seemed to brighten. Then he saw
a woman who resembled a girl he had
seemed to know long ago. She was
white-faced, golden-haired, and her
lips were sweet, and her eyes were
turning black. Nell He had forgot !
