Arthur Hugh ClouU. ALKALI JI3I. "Alkali Jim," whom I have learned to number ainontf my stanchest and most hifrhly valued friends among' these, hfjdy and nicturesquo mountaineers, in peifwn U fully (six feet tall and very slim. Tho hair on hU head is thick, but unnaturally and apparently prematurely white. Deeply net pray eyes twlnkl cLoeriJy hJxvo cheek bones, over which la tightly t retched a skin the color of sole leather, beneath which tho play of every muscle is plainly tteen. fcjpry as a cat and ion ah as a pine knot exactly expresses tht physical characteristics of this quiet, belf contained mountaineer. 7'be other evening we were Heated Ou elde the cabin door, after the day's work was dona and supper had been eaten. I had Just expressed niy wonder as to the way in which "Fidgety JJilJ," who is one j the quietest of men, fame by Jiis; name, svhcD Jim, after slowly blowing & ploud of smolio, asked me: "Did ye ever hear how I kem by l)y name?" I had not ana 63' fX tor Information. Jim settled himself down, cocifprtably on his rough stool and began: "It uz this ycr way. Because, long bout fourteen year ago I hed ft bit uv ex rerienco thet kem blauio near puttin' an end t'mo an' left me in jess about th' wits fix I ever been, 'sides turnln' my hair plum white ez it is now in a week's time. I wuz a young feller in th' States, it!i more grit than sensa, an' I'd listed in tW army. B'longed t' B itop in th Fourth cavalry. Wo uz stationed dowfl to Fort Bowie, Arizona, an' my time uz most out when this thing happened, '11 a whole company o' soldiers gut lost, 'n several uv 'em died 'n most all pejj.slied, 'it they was th' wust bulletin ' fer a while y' e.vcr hear tell on. "We u2 iep near th' reservation where th Apaches fetayed, jess t' be handy in case o' trouble. One day some o' th' red devils got out 'n tuk th' war ppth, 'n be gun killin' all th' settlers they c'd find Uur company wuz ordered after 'em when they'd got a dern good start, uv course. We'd fit Injujus aforo, 'u ruthcr tuk kindly to it, fer it promised sumthin' t' break up th' monotony o' camp life. Our captain was oil on sick leave, 'n thet left us under command o' XA;tifc. Hanson Percy, his name wuz a young fillet 't never 'd been west till he'd been sent out from West Point th' same summer. He wuz a regular dude; wore white shirt all the time; altera hed his boots blacked; ketched bugs 'n pinned 'em on a board 'n studied V-m; seemed t' enjoy it; camo from Boston. Thet mostly settled ft 'ith th' boys. They didn't fany fijMin' Injuns with him. But orders is orders, 'a grumblin' don't go, so we started, all the same. "Th" Apaches wuz last reported 'bout ft hundred 'n fifty miles north. T (fit on ther trail we hed t' cross one o' them dem plains full o' alkali 'n sage bresU 'a 110th in' else but rocks 'n sand, 'n mebbo a few cactus 'n mesqiiit thrown in fer good measure. Water wuz not t' be thought on there, only in spots, where they uz a ool hero 'n a spring there, jess so it wouldn't all bo like hell, I reckon. Jsouo on us knowed th'lay o' th' land, so we tuk a guide Mexican Joe, they called him a big headed, bow legged feller, 'ith a bull liddle voice 'n a mean look. He said he knowed every inch o' th' ground 'n speci ally all th' waterin' places. It wer 'n August, 'n ef you've ever bin in Arizona 'bout dog days y' know what that means. Th' sun jiss nachully blazed dovn 'n that alkali plain wer red hot 'n gitten hotter every blessed minit. 'N ez they wuzn't a . mite o' shade 'n no umberils we jess hed t' take it. We hod all our canteens filled when wo started 'n expected t' git f th' first waterin' place bef ore night. Long 'bout noon keia up a sand storm. Worst things y' ever seen, thrni sand storms i.;. Th' wind jess lifts th' hull surface o' th yearth u makes it turn summersets 'ith itself, so when th' fun's over y' don't know th' place yer seen a hour afore. This ez tli worst one I ever eed. Th' wind blowed Hail Columbia. V cudn't see a inch afore yer face. Tho ai? uz full o' saud 'n alkali 'n bits o' dry saga tresh 'n dry ruesquit branches 'n gravel, it kem 'it bout a minit's warnin', 'u we hed t' turn our backs to it 'n hold our breath 'n let it blow. Jt lasted 'bout half an hour, I reckin, though jt seemed half a day t' us. An' stopped cz quick ez it started. But, Lord, we didn't know where we wuz when it quit. Th lay o' th laud wuz changed all 'round. XU' hills n hollers had swapped places. -We'd huddled nr th' best wa could while th storm lasted, 'n they wuzn't one uv us could tell which way we come or which way we'd bin goin'. Y' never see a worse beat man n Mexican Joe. Looked like he uz astonished out o' a year's growth. He turned every way 'n each way be uz sure was wrong. T' make matters worse, th' clouds wuz too thick t' see th' sun 'n we hadn't a compass In th' whole command. That uz a mistake our captain'd never made. Finally Lieut, nanson took Joe off one 6ido 'n plavered 'ith him, 'n Joe'd nod his head 'n 'Si, senoredl' all th' time, but I felt sure he didn't know nothin. But th' lieutenant seed sumthin' had t' bo done 'n put himself t' th' heado' th column 'u wo started off th' way Joe 'lowed uz right. "Well, we hep' a-goin' till "long- awhile foro dark, 'n Mexican Joe he kep' gittin' iiervouser aa' nervouser. Th' lieutenant hep' his eye on 'ini, 'n at last ho rode up clost n sez: 'Joe, I be.lievo you're lost!' Thet dern fool Mexican jess flopped off his horse 'u onto his knees 'u begun t' beg fer mercy, a holdiu' up his hands like he wuz prayin'. Th' lieutenant laughed at 'm ho didn't know ez well ez lie did after wards thet gittin' lost on a alkili plain rdn't no laughin' matter 'n told him t' git on his hoss 'n come on. He did so, but I seed ho uz 'bout rum crazy most o' them Mexicans hafn't t' fur t' go t' crazy land anyhow. We kep' a-goin' till dark, 'n hed t' stop 'n camp. Th' bosses wuz euffciin', but wo couldn't help 'em. By th' time wo hed breakfast next mornin' they wuzn't a pint o' water left In tho camp. We wuz sure we'd bo all right In th' mornin', fer we'd see th sun. liut we didn't 6ee a glimpse o' him. Th' clouds T.'uz worso 'n th' day afore. D'rectly wo ted another storm, liko th' first, only not quite so bad. but we suflered lots more from it. An hour afterward th' lieuten ant pullod up his horse short Uko 'uluked 'round, fairly dazed. ''We waz right down t' our camp o' th' "hi ftf ore. Wo uz poln' ia a circle. We nz'lost lost right in a big alkali plain 'ith th' wind hot ez a furnace blast ablow fa' alkali duct Into our lungs, no son 1 tmiilft m. no water 'n no tho w t' find ennv. 'ii everv bodv most dead. Everv body looked mighty sober. Mexican Joe Jes give one screech when he seed th marks o camp, n begun t cuss himself n mum bio his prayers. Then all t' once ho give a howl 'n set liis spurs into his horse's sides u set oil at a gallop, 1 h dern fool had gone crazy, sure enough I Th' lieu tenant sent a squad aftor him 'n they catched him n brought him back, a chat t'i iu idgit. He wuz out o' th' irame. Th' lieutenant hed got mighty quiet 'n spoke low n gentle like. Iio called up two or three o' th' sergeants 'n talked to 'em. Kverv man lied a different opinion. Fi nally we started on agin. We coiddn't git lost worse 'n we wuz already, 'n ef we ken agoni sometliln might come uv it. Wo kep agoin' all day, resting frequent; but wo didu t get no whar. Iso sun yet. Every body was a Bufferin' terrible. Th' bosses wuz as bad. They couldn't go out o a wauv- wur eyes wu$ blood shot Our lips wuz cracked 'n bleedin. Tb' wind blowed th' alkali dust into th' sores, Thet uz 'bout like rod pepper rubbed into a wound. We coulan t fcleen. Ef a man did drop pif dj-eain 0 lakes 'n rivers 'u springs 'p moss covered buckets in tu well n water all round, but he couldn't f!fet a drop uv it, fore it'd all rnn away frofu blnj when bo tfle4 t' drnK. till he'd scream in bis agony 'n wake up and find himself drier 'n thirstier 'n weaker 'n ever, till he'd shudder 'u turn over 'n shet his eyes 'n try t' fergit it all, ui.'y t' go over th whole misery agin when he d drop Into i dozfj. "Next mornin' three men never an swered t!: bugle call. They died in th' night, and noboJy knowed it I Lots more p' th' boys uz mightly ulgh th' samo fix. We started ag'lu. an uuaer a cloudy sky still, so it ua all guesswork about vhcre we uz goln'. Wo went migiity slqw; jess crept along. By poon every tongue uz hangin' out 'n a) swelle4 i4p; every eve uz bloodshot, 'u every man ua pearly crazy. Th' hosses Jest staggered along, 'n th' boys'd hardly kep their Baddies. But th' middle o' th' afternoon th' lieu tenant seemed t' make up his mind some thin'd fcci be done. He called a lot to gether n hold a council. Then be tuk eight men 'u we all give up our canteens f them eight. Wo went into camp 'n the eight lit ut. two together, on each o' th' four sides. We watched 'W out o sight, 'n never expected t see any more o' them. When it got dark we made a bright fire 'n kept it a-goin'. 'Bout ten or 'leven o'clock I heard a gun 'n got up t' listen. D'rectly I heard It agin. pSo'd everybody else. We fired oil a carbine 'n kep- a shcotm' 'bout every half minute, tell, after awhile, the two what 'd rode off th' way we thought uz east come ridin' into camp, every canteen full o' water 'n them 'u their bosses fresh 'n smart ez y' pleaso. They'd found wnter, 'u 'twasn't more'n six miles away either. Vl.ii; they come ridin' up 'n singiu' out 'Waterl" you'd thought we uz all lunatics. Two more jneii bed died since we cnniped, 'n a dozen more never 'xpected to git home; but overy one o' them got up 'n got a swig uv a canteen 'u giv up all notion o' dyiu. They never wuz a bigger change in men. Uv course XXic.y wuzn't only jess one-fourth a canteen to each man, pup p uz life in it. yer bet. Men cried 'n praved,' rough tpUers like them wuz, too, when they know'd they coui d" git a drink. Half uv us couldn't hey held out another day under thet hot sun 'u in thet alkali dust. Nor th' bosses, neither. 1 didn't 'Apecfc t. ' pyer see th' sun rise next morning. "Well, we jess broke camp, thet is, all but a squad t stay 'n wait for tother six fellers, 'n started fer th' waterin' place our fellers had found. Wo got there long 'fore mornin', and in two hours uz all right agin, though it uz a powerful poor waterin' place, only a deep hole 'n a kinder pond in a sorter ravine. But it wuz water, 'u I never knowed' afore how much that meant t' starvin' humanity. Next mornin' all th' rest kem to us ex cept th' two what went tother way from where we found th' water they never uz heard uv enny more. We staid there half a day, then th' sun come out all right, we took pur boarin's 'n tit put, "n 'fore dark got outside the alkali 'n uz all right. Next day we struck th' Apaches 'n wiped cm out n got back ho fort 'ithout git tin' lost agin.
