call. I waa alone when I got aa far
aa tbe hut settlement There were
four Indians and, a fur trader there.
They all advised me not to gp lato the
barrens; but, like n good many others,
I thought I waa wiser thaa the na
tives, and I oaly meant to go a few
miles. There waa nothing to do bat
foot it and carry your provhaoaa aad
blankets on your back.
"Tbe country waa aa fiat aa a floor
and bald and amooth aa my head, with
no landmarks. Tbe only way I could
get direction waa by the aua and stars.
"When I had been' oat for about two
daya my provialona were nearly gone.
I was going to tarn back and make a
dash for tbe settlement All day long
a gray cloud bad been moving ap from
the west very slowly. I suppose it
waa coming oa so alow I didn't realise
what It meant to be without tbe sun
to guide me. There wasn't even a
blade of grass on that desert nor a liv
ing thing nor n stone sticking ap. Tho
clouds kept bending over more and
more, and anally they cloaca dawa
over me like a trap.
MI snail never forget the loneaome
ness of that place and how whenever
I stopped walking I would strain and
atraln my ears without hearing a thug
but the thump of my owa heart But
I thought I waa all right and kept oa
walking toward the settlement ateadi
bj until It waa aearijr night Then I
aaw something white a few yards off to
one aide. In one' gasp tha breath went
out of me. The white thing waa a bit
of cracker I bad dropped whea I had
eatea my lunch!
"I aat down aad tried to think. I
knew It waa no ase to wane that way
any farther. I began to think my
bones would whltea out there oa tbe
barrens, but finally I went to sleep. In
tbe morning I waa crasy with hunger.
I ate my last piece of hard tack, and
nearly all day I walked aimlessly, hop
ing to find some landmark. There waa
no aleep In me that night Whenever
I abut my eyes I could nee nothing but
n great flat plata with a fine across It
tbe stralghtest line yon ever aaw.
"Well, it waa that crasy notion that.
saved my life. It suddenly occurred
to me that I could draw a line across
this desert When it waa getting light
In the morning there were n few min
utes when I could see which aide of
the circle waa east by tbe glimmer
through the clouda. So I worked with
my Bbeathknlfe till I had built a little
pile of earth and waited for. day to
come. The moment I saw the glimmer
and had tbe direction I ran toward the
south a hundred yards or so and built
another pile. Then I ran a hundred
yards more, sighting back across tbe
two piles, and built a third. They
were only little piles of dirt; but they
looked like towers on the desert
"All that dsy I built piles of earth
ehatbward aattt I lost count, and the
next day whea I saw the shimmer' of
morning I knew I bad tbeNrfgbt direc
