Texas fellow sick with ague, found
themselves lost in a sagebrush desert
For long, bewildered hours they wan
dered aimlessly about in the dark, every
hour intensifying their WEAKNESS and
their maddening thirst for water. Morn
ing came and a July sun beat down
upon them, men and horses exhausted,
while all about them they could see
nothing but miles upon miles Of mono
tonous, barren plains.
Their suffering, as the heat Of mid
day approached, became unbearable.
They logged YEARLY on, peering ahead
for the lost camp, searching the hori-
ION for water holes. There seemed
else to do. Somewhere in that
bleak country there must be water.
And finally, far ahead, they spied q
spot that glimmered white and snim-
mered and rippled In the light. 1t was q
lake-it must be lake. Hopefully they
spurred their faded horses on toward
It. Another two hours ride brought
them close, only to learn that the rip
ping water that had lured them on
was but a patch Of wild rye grass. Mr.
