fear that our mates will be at
our threats maddened with the
agonizing pangs of hunger?
"Up again--and on, for death
stalks openly in Fort McDougal.
Across bleak stretches of ice
where treacherous air-holes
await unWary feet, and where a
plunge beneath the surface is
fatal, and then up the threaten
ing trail across the mountain
pass where avalanches roar and
the wind shrieks in ghoulish glee,
we mush on. One of my mates
drops in the snow, gasping and
inert. My master removes the
harness and buries him in the
snow. If he RECEIVERS, he will
make his way home if not, what
does it matter?
Another sinks in his ira cks, and
another, and they are left behind.
| and four of my mates reach the
top and plunge ahead on the
home trail. The endless miles
real by--we lose the trail-find it
again, and mush on. Slower, and
yet slower, for the lethargy of
exhaustion and cold has set in
and my master IS victim of that
dread specter of the North snow
blindness. The doctor babbles in
coherently. They are both help
less as babes. 1t is a desperate
gamble whether we make it or
not. The jealous Gods of the
North are against us. The Colo
mel lowered his voice to a hoarse
whisper. Gentleman of the jury,
that dog staggered into thestrick-
en- post, pulling his snow-blinded
master, and an unconscious
physician, and three helpless
huskies behind him. His great
courageous hart was near to
bursting under that terrible
strain. But gentlemen of the jury,
ne made it and two scores of
of those hardened men of the
North owe their lives to him alone.
g | am a dog" Once more his
deep-chested tones rumbled like
distant thunder. "The world is
my domain. On the FURNISHED
desert where the coppery sun
beats down and shrivels the very
soul of the traveller, | follow my
master and his partner in their
futile quest for water. At the
camp last nighnt every drop of
water in the canteens was con-
sumed, and at the water-hole
where we had expected to replen-
ish our supply today we found
nothing but baked clay. Ahead
of US lies the arid waste of rock
and sand from which rolls up
waves of heat like a breath from
the furnace.
"The rocks, as hot as red, scar
ing blast of fusing iron, and the
sand baking oven-it is heat

or dog. There, far over to the
left, is the pitiless mockery of the
mirage-a blue, sparkling lake,
cool and inviting, and when we
stagger toward it, it vanishes.
From an eminence we stare eag-
erly ahead nothing, nothing but
the hot glazing void of illimitable
space and wells of rising heat like
transparent smoke. The awful
thirst, the painful swelling of the
tongue, and the parched constric-
ton of the throat are we'll nigh
unbearable.
MY master, old and gray, a
desert wanderer, struggles for
ward, keeping abreast with his
younger partner, but his strength
is growing fast. The odds are
too great the end is near. His
partner urges him to shoot me,
that my blood might assuage their
terrible thirst, but my master
shakes his head and they plod on.
All, see! My master staggers and
sinks to the ground. But he is
up again. His partner is grim
and silent, his one thoughe being
OF his own safety. Again my
master drops, and his faint cry
reaches the ear of his partner
who DISSATISFACTION shrugs and
goes on. They have been part
ners for years, even before my
master bought me from another
prospector for a cork-seew, and
now he has deserted him-left
him to his fate in this merciless
hell.
My masters red-rimmed. bur-
ming eyes follow the course of his
partner until he becomes mere
speck in the distance, and with a
tired sigh he closes his eyes. 1t
is the end, for over there on the
plain the sands begin to move
and drift uneasily. A burning,
whitening wind-a blast straight
from the lower regions-heralds
the approach of the desert storm.
The singing sand drives against
my masters face and piles around
his ashen cheeks. Slowly it Sits
over his clothing, growing higher
until it covers him in a gray, Ion
ely shroud. The winds of death
shrek peon of glee.
The Colonel paused and the ST.
lence was intense.
"A year later" he continued in
a whisper, "a party of prospec-
tors, crossing this desert, stun
bles upon an eloquent and touch
ing scene. Upon those wind-swept
sands lay the whitened skeleton
of man and in the crook of his
arm were the bones of a dog.
Faithful to the end-when they
had been deserted by their only
friend-the dog remained with

FEAR OF WARS
HURTS PEACE
by DAVID N. CHURCH
International News Services

NEW YORK, Dec. ls.-As the
year closes, the world finds war still
in progress in China. threats Of war
in Poland and Lithuania, and the
Balkans nervous and jumpy. British
statesmen Of rather sound opinion
are expressing fears that this gen.
Grafton may see another great war.
Advocates OF peace are striving
hard to find encouragement In the
fact that numerous peace treaties
have been signed between smaller
nations, but these treaties are the
cause Of considerable jealousies
among the powers, France being as
much aroused over the Italian-Al-
bantam pact as Italy over the
neutrality-suspicious. pact.
Russia still hovers on the horizon
to cause nervousness to those ma.
tons given to nightmares Of Dol.
shevik invasions.
Against a few international steps
towards peace the year 1927 must
record thu failure Of the Geneva
naval parley, the threat Of renewed
naval competition, the breaking of
relations between Russia and Great
Britain, the failure Of the powers
to restore peace to China, ana con.
tinued political unrest throughout
a large portion Of the world:
optimists will perhaps claim that
much has been done to further
peace during 1927, but the cessa-
ton Of interallied control In. Ger

cessful conferences at Geneva can
hardly offset the actual disturbing
