" oorne Bit ot luck iiuit, Jim."
"Doesn't seem to me we know much
norc than wo did before," Westcott
nswered gloomily. "Only that this
hup Mendez is at a place called
itinken valley. I never heard of it*
lid you?"
"No: I reckon It's no spot the law

"How about the note she gave you?"
"We'll wait a while to road that. I
lon't want to strike no light just yet.
lavbe it had best he kept till day
ireak."
The men rode steadily, and mostly
n silence, a large part of the way side
y side. The animals they bestrode
i-ere fairly mated, quite capable of
iiaintalnlng their gait for several
lours, and needing little urging. The
light gloom enveloped them complete
ly ; their strained eyes were scarcely
hie to trace the dim outlines of the
Idge road, but the horses were desert
■roke, and held closely to the beaten
rack. Tlien Westcott's pony, which
arrled by far the heavier load, be
an to show signs of fatigue. They
rew up. and the marshal dismount
d. searching about blindly in the
;«rkne>s.
"Too d n dark." he said, coming
>ack. and catching up his rein. "A
at couldn't tind anything there; but
here's firm sand. Wait a minute;
've got a pocket compassi"
He struck a match, sheltering the
puttering blaze with one hand. The
he Light Illumined His Face for an
Instant
ght illumined his face for an in
fant. anil then went out, leaving the
Ight blacker than before.
'•That's south," he announced, snap
ins the compass case shut, "and this
lame wind Is southeast; that ought to
eep us fairly straight."
"The ponies will do that; they'll
eep where the traveling Is good. Shift
his hag bark of your saddle. Dan. You
ide lighter, and ray horse is begin
ing to pant already; that will ease
im n few pounds."
The transfer was made, and the two
len rode out Into the roar desert,
rging their animals forward, trust
ig largely to their natural Instinct
•r guidance. They would follow the
ard saud. and before long the scent
t' water would as certainly lead them
irectly toward the spring.
Yet it was not l"Cg until dawn be
an to turn the desert gray, gradually
•vealing its forlorn desolation. W'est
ott lifted his heaif, and gazed about
ith wearied eyes, smarting still from
lie whipping of the sand-grit. On
very side stretched away a scene of
tter desolation, unrelieved by either
lirub or tree—an apparently endless
cenn of sand. In places leveled by the
rind, and elsewhere piled Into fan
lstlc heaps. The breeze slackened
omewhat as the sun reddened the
ast. and the ponies threw up their
eads and whinnied slightly, Increas
es their speed. Westcott saw the
larshal arouse himself, straighten in
tie saddle, and stare about, his eyes
tut uuu anu Heavy.

the shadow of a sand dune they halted
finally to discuss the situation. Should
they go on? Or explore further to the
west? Might it not even be better tc
retrace their way to the springs, and
vait the coming of Lacy?
Brennan was for turning hack,
arguing the u^elessness of going fur
ther, and the necersity of water l"oi
the ponies.
"Come on. .T!m," li« nrged. "I?? sen.

had seen a vision. "Holy smoke!
I What's that? By God ! It's a wagon,
Jim: an' it come right up out of the
I earth. There wasn't no wagon there
a second ago."
For a moment Ijoth men suspected
that what they looked upon was a
mirage—its actual existence there in
| that place seemed impossible. Vet
there was no disputing the fact-that
yonder In the very midst of that deso
lation of sand a wagon drawn by
straining horses was slowly moving
directly toward them. Westcott was
first to grasp the truth, hastily jerking
the marshal back to where the tired
ponies stood with drooping heads be
hind the protection of the dune.
