J- - Halt La !a City, Ho. a place in the Great desert where green grows. At the head of an estuary of the great dry sea, where a long arm ' of white alkali runs up among the foothills of the mountains, stands an inviting tavern. It is upon the hillside. Just below It, the garden hose and the landscape gardener, with water carried in troughs from the mountains, have wrought a miracle of flowers, wax green. 'Trees, strong and beautiful In the artificial oasis. Children and young men and maidens romp on the verdant mat, spread at the point of the estuary, and upon the hillside a score of languishing guests sit In the healing sun, and look down upon the picture, and out Into the endless miles of white sand that stretch billowy and fantastic into the blue of the horizon. Most of these idlers on the broad pbizza of tle tavern are invalids. It Is a place of invalids. Here hundreds of wretched bodies are dragged by a tragic love of life. Here scores of souls watch other souls flicker and die out, and still hope on and wait, while the oil of life burns smudgy and low. There are those whom the sunshine and the dry, clear air win back to life. But the dead are there. On the broad veranda a very citadel "of life the dead are embattled, fighting with time. It is a most hideous battle, and all so hushed and sepulchral are its maneuvers, that life takes no heed of the empty pageant Armed In such a combat sat Hawkins, the chief clerk, a grim man, dark, Of what, out in the pallid, sinister. world of life, Hawkins had been chief tlerk. It does not matter now. ,He had been a busy man, firm, taciturn, repellent He sat now at his post In the battle, sneering at the folly of those about him who were trying to wrest a few. mortal moments from eternity. For a long time, as days go, Hawk-In- s had been sitting In this sentry box, when hls captain the doctor ordered him Into the Infantry, and told him to march for dear life. Hawkins left the guards upon the terrace with loathing. During the first week of hls marching orders, he 'made exactly the same journey every day. He noticed ' everything along his path. He was interested in nothing. In hls mind the objects he saw were catalogued, but never referred to by his memory. There was a huge bluff, a railroad bridge, a quarry, a barbed wire fence, enclosing a grave, a mud house, a herder, some sheep, a steep bill, a water trough, a cross road, and a pine grove, on the hill over which he came back to hls starting point None of these objects was dignified by a prominence In hls mind. One day, attracted by the most unimportant detail In the landscape, Hawkins started to walk a few rods from hls path, that he might examine more closely the grave, fenced In with barbed wire to keep the ghoulish desert beasts away. A second thought made the digression from the path the line of an ellipse, and he followed . Ills course without veering There were days when Hawkins spoke ho none of the hotel guests, and the lack of Interest In the place weighed heavily upon him. As he sat for hours after hls walks gazing between the hills that penned out the desert, the spot where the grave dotted the surface of the plain kept drawing hls eyes to It, In an annoying manner. ' As he took hls lonely walk at the end of that fortnight, the grave began to Irritate him. It aroused a certain curiosity within him, which was very distasteful. - One night, after hlsTeturn from a walk, raging at his folly, the grave began to haunt hls wakeful The next afternoon he walked over to the enclosure, thinking that he would be no longer disturbed by tbe thing if he examined it closely. Hawkins saw only an adult's grave with a cactus upon It At the head was a wooden board. At the foot was a broad peg. The barbed wire was tom away at one end perhaps by some stray animal, wandering in the Hawkins did not approach night.nearer than a rod from the fence, and he turned quickly, as though he had overcome hls weakness, when he had gathered these details In' his mind. The next day he came closer, and the day following, after a night in which he was kept awake, frenzied because of a gnawing ache to pick the cactus root out of the dead mans side, Hawkins came to the fence and leaned upon the post, looking back toward the hotel to see If the group on the veranda could see him. He did tot touch the cactus, and not until he tad straightened up to go did he so much ns glance at the mound. He read the name on the headboard and hurried away with fear dogging hls steps. He looked behind by sheer force of will. It was the one name In the world that Hawkins loved to hate. With It came the recollection of the woman whom the grim man was proud that he had forgotten. At the road around the hill he checked hls nervous gait and walked lowly back to the hotel. But all the vay up the hillside tbe headboard kept Jslng before him with the word Znin ver the word Thweke." Hawkins sat in hU oke'r on he blue-gras- i bring home the bacon, collar the bloe vn carry the menage to Garda, etc. Is Ki Morning .efepVbur Eyes - Gita Clman Wira fmr fra g-- Cere aeb MiebmHealthy 0,.lmelU s, night-fancie- - - .. veranda when he had returned, and looked over the white floor in the distance. It seemed magnified In hls eyes. He fancied he could distinguish the headboard from the fence. Then he began to fight with the spelL He reasoned that it was an accident, and It came over him with a chlH, that he had been drawn to the place by kn Irresistible forcer At this conclusion he smiled sardonically and lighted a ) cigar. ' He believed be had conquered the hallucination by giving it full rein. Then he began to hate hls old enemy. Hawkins had not known that the man was dead until that day. He mused pleasurably upon the cactus. The doctor, seeing Hawkins In the sunset air with a cigar, swore at him, and tbe grim man went Indoors. He was proud to be alive. His pride amounted almost to a thrill. Hawkins went to sleep early that night When the lights In the 'hotel were extinguished be wakened from a dream about figures and business, and felt that there was something important on hls mind. Then he remembered the discovery on the headboard. He trailed over, hls treasure with .the harrow of hls hate. He tried to think of something else; he began counting, finally it came. A sentence fonhed in hls mind: Was It the dead mans spirit?" ; When he aroused himself hls mouth was dry, and ne was wet with perspiration. Hawkins normal mind then took control of hls fancy and hls hate for. the conquered foe burned fiercely. The woman kept coming into hls malignant speculatlona. He wondered if He she had taken the man's name. was carious to know if she had come with hls enemy Into the desert where he died. Hawkins pictured them together on the terrace. Then hls sick fancy painted them In the very room where he was lying. For a moment he was in mental hell. A footfall startled him. He sprang to the floor to ring the bell and to ascertain If hls Imaginings had any foundation In fact When the boy come Hawkins asked for Ice water, and upon getting it sipped it as he stood looking ont at the quiet stars and the moon, and lisand to the tening to the sheep-bell- s dogs barking out on, the floor of the desert, beyond the grave This soothed him, and be slept. The day following that .night, and for many days hereafter, Hawkins stood gazing at the ugly sand heap In . , I could know of the softening of hie heart The vlelta te the grave grew Sure KeHie? necessary to hls happiness. For the first time in hls life Hawkins felt as desolate aehe reiUy was. Hevlsltad Ge grave, as a man of ordinary temperament would call upon a comrade. When hls strength permitted a trip every other day, only, he sat in hla room looking out between the hills at the plain, and at the fascinating dot upon the whita wretch of sand and for i::s:c23no:i d CZILANS Hot water Sureltelief ' alkali.-.-'- , It was at these times that Hawkins began to try to recall the possible - qualities of hls dead enemy, Hawkins remembered how he had condemned tbe man out of hand, when hit name was first brought up because Thweke wrote a copybook hand. Hawkins remembered .that be had sneered at the man n accoupt of a certain eurl of the mustache ; and that the fellow had Incurred a husbandly hate, by knowing how to play the piano. Remembering these prejudices, Hawkins tried to make some entries on the other side of the account. As the 8badow flitted nearer and nearer to the grim man, now confined to his barren room more closely than before, he began to 1 jse .the horror he once felt at what he fancied might be the presence of the dead. One xtay he found himself curiously listening to some, token from the dead man in the grave. Hls mood was not one of horror, but of longing. He reasoned that his strange finding of the grave, the Inexplicable power that drew . him against his will and against hls nature to the lonely spot, and the Influence which it had wrought upon hls Ufe Indicated the presence of some outside power. He built up a theory of hypnotism from , disembodied spirits, and sat watching for a signal to verify through his. material senses the existence of tbe supernatural force with which hls spirit seemed to have been In this frame of mind ha communing. forgot the wastlhg of the flesh. Hs sat by hls window, overlooking the des-- . ert, and mused by the hour upon Ufa and the coming of the end. Hls whole being was softened by the approaching , dissolution of his body. that would He longed for some-sigtell him that he bad fellowship real and palpable with the spirit of the man In the deserted grave. But tbe sign did not ,come. He traced false signs to their natural causes, and was sad. The habit of a lifetime, as a scoffer, strangled credulity, even SSt and 75$ Packages, Everywhere good .

Hls fancy made morbid pictures; and the, figures of the man and'woman danced before hls eyes In a thousand horrid Once he kicked the and sneered at himself for so doing. Then Hawkins saw how like a cur he was. After that there were three In bis circle of hate. Qne day, loathtng himself, he began to wonder what had ever Induced the woman to promise to love and honor him. He recalled cowardly words he had spoken to her. Revelations of hls own cruelty and meanness were made to him, and ghostly memories that be had strangled years before camo flitting back. He was oppressed with a sense of The having done a terrible wrong. face of the woman whom he had forgotten, rose and floated on hls stagnant fancies.

In each of these pictures and voices he .Hawkins saw hls own selfishness. began to know himself as he was known.

A miracle was wrought on the day that a shriveled tear trembled In hls eye. He went to the grave, and stood a longer time than usual after ' that. He left tbe place with a slgli and walked slowly with hls eyes upon the ground. He walked slowly, partly fiom choice, partly because hls former gait sapped hls strengtth. On the veranda they were counting the weeks left him. He now went to the monnd every T those whom he day for company. met In the routine of hls physical life, Hawkins preserved hls cold exterior. Hls habit of austerity was not broken. Tet strange things were working withHe had lived hls life in his breast. alone, and no one outside Himself though it was the child of hope. So Hawkins sat In the silence, listening and waiting for the greater silence. - There came a time when he rallied when he left the window for the veranda. Then It was that a great yearning came to his heart to go and lie prone upon the grave and to be as simple as a child in grief. He could not explain this yearning; he did not try to analyze it. He felt some way that It was a thing the woman would have done, and the desire became a master passion. It seemed cold to him on the porch; but out on the desert the sun shone gayly and seductively. Day after, dpy he walked the length of the veranda., He seemed to be gaining strength. There was a day when lie walked the entire distance around the hotel twice, without sitting or resting.

A notion that he was making a pilgrimage that she Hnwk-in- s only thought of the woman as she, now pould Have him make, warmed' something In hls grim heart, not unlike a tenderness.
