The troop was exhausted and practically without water, the men having not a drop to drink save what was in their canteens. They had cut loose from a river In the early morning, expecting to find another when the day was done, but not as much as a rivulet had they found. There was no coffee that night and there wasnt a light heart In the whole outfit. Tracy was unhappy. It wasnt wholly his sub --eend ltion-a- n ' "men w hich dTMF-brKlweighed upon him. Just before leaving the Arizona post he had received news that his younger brother, John, had Jieen committed to states prison In a far northeastern state. The officer had seen 'Jils home only once since his graduation. He had stayed awaypurposely," His brother had been a trusted bank employe Then came suspicion, then conviction and a sentence. John Tracy protested his Innocence of the crime charged against him, and his family, know lng the lad, believed In him, but the circumstantial evidence was overwhelming, and In spite of the efforts of the aged father, who spent his time and his money In the boys jlefense, he went to prison. Before the troop had left Fort Banks with its nose to the t trail of Geronimo there had joined as an enlisted man a strapping young of-- . fleer who said that he came from St Louis. His name was Barlow, and he was assigned to the troop of which Tracy was the junior officer and he wentwlth4ton its chase across 'the border after the Apache chieftain. Barlow on every -himself to Tracys person. Whenever there was a scenting party detached from the main body and put under the second lieutenants command Barlow asked that he might be assigned to it to share in the scouting duty. He was a reserved fellow and apparently of superior education. There were no camp jokes for him. He was grave and taciturn. Tracy had noticed the attachment of the man to him, and as he was a capable soldier and willing to dare and -to do anything he was glad to have him a part of his outfit when on detached and dangerous service. On the morning following the night that the X troop .was practically ' without water-an- d In' a country devoid of all green things save the forbidding cactus, the troop commander told Tracy that he had better make a short reeonnolssance, feel out the country for the enemy and. above all. try to locate water. - To attempt a march under that hot Mexican sun with the men, and with any Idea of effective service, was foolhardy. told his captain that he would take but - cneTracy man with him; that they wouldstrlke southwest. where jt was thought a better prospect of water lay, and that they would return as soon as a find was made. He selected Barlow for his companion, and the two struck out through ths black, country. They went on for three hours. Not a drop of the element of which they were In search. Their, tongues were blistered. They drank sparingly of the water In their "canteens, pressed on for another hour and then knew that they must return. Back they started. They followed their onward trail as well as they could, but at times it was lost, and then circling was necessary to take It op again. At noon they lost It and could not find It again. There was a great Jagged rock rising to the westward which neither recognized. Lieutenant," said Barlow, were going wrong We never came this way. The sun doesnt bear fight It should be more to our right. I believe that we are going almost directly at right angles ' to the camp." They circled again and again, but no trace of the trail. Then the conclusion forced itself on , Tracy that .they were lost They wandered on until the sun went down beyond the black rocks. Then they each drank sparingly of the precioua contents of the canteens, and lay down on the gray desert to sleep. t round shot The sun up like a - Tracy and came their single of last ate the Barlow ration, and took one swallow of water apiece. hours .
