WORK OF A GOOD SAMARITAN. Bsok. the Proepeotor, Who Has Mads . tha Desert Bloom With Guldsposts Pointing the Way to Water and 8avad Many Man From Otath. .' In the American Magazine Is an arti cle about Lew Westcott Beck, who is known as the "good Samaritan of Death valley." He and bis dog, Ru ins, have saved many prospectors from a horrible death by making tbe desert ' blossom witb guldepoms showing tbe way to water. Tbe following is an ex tract from tbe article: "Time was when Beck was a plain prospector in the Cripple Creek coun try. He was In on tbe diggings at Leadville. and be panned around in Montana awhile. Likewise be rushed Into tbe Big Horn at the time of tbe mineral strike there, but be never struck a lead that made him rich. . "Eventually he drifted down through Nevada and into Death valley, chasing rainbows. Wild rumors about 'Death Valley' Scotty's big find In that section electrified the country, and scores of prospectors rushed into tbe desert ex pecting to make their fortune in a few days. Beck was 'among those pres ent' ' ' "There were several In Beck's party. Tbey blked many miles through tbe mirage land, finding nothing worth while and worrying constantly lest tbey exhaust tbelr supply of water. For two days tbey sought water holes, and wben out of water tbey went for hours wltb tongue swollen and lips parched from want of moisture. Then wben death seemed Inevitable tbey suddenly discovered a tiny stream trickling out of a cunyon at tbe base of the Panamlnt mountains. "Wben Beck returned to civilization be was a changed man. He bad seen sands tbat were strewn with skulls, and that eight bad put a big idea Into bis bead. "Came spring, and Beck made an other trip through Death valley. At bis side was a Newfoundland dog. Tbe prospectoi carried a bundle of tin strips. They were signboards to guide the wanderers' steps aright "Each summer since then tbe pros pector and bis dog have made a Jour ney to tbe land of tbe purple mist pil ing up rocksi and attaching signs to tbem. searching for lost travelers and incidentally keeping a' lookout for a piece of prectous metal. Ouce or twlee Rufus tins led hl(j mastei; to prospectors who. after long suffering from thirst had fallen upon tbe burning sands to die. "In slgnboardlng tbe desert Beck has saved a number of thirst mad rain bow chasers and has also In remote districts stumbled upon tbe bleaching bones of dead men who may have found fortunes In the silver sulpburet district but who did not live to tell tbe world about it At one time be as sisted at tbe burial of four men wbo died of thirst within two miles of a spring. "The country that Beck traverses Is cbe most arid section of the American continent a dreary stretch of hun dreds of miles of desert dotted here and there wltb foothills, buttes, dry creek beds, chaparral, prickly pear and sagebrush. Springs are miles upon miles apart Most of them are bitterly alkali, and some are poison. "On an ordinary , summer afternoon tbe thermometer runs up to about 134 degrees in the shade out in Death val ley, and the most unpleasant thing about It Is tbat there Is a dearth of shade. Wben man ventures out npon this trackless expanse the shimmering heat dazes him. the scarcity of water crazes him. and tbe mirage treacher ous, lying thing of beauty that It Is looms ever before blm, flashing upon the canvas of his mind's eye a verdnnt valley, gorgeously green with growing things, fresh with flowers, wet wltb water and waiting to welcome him. "He can see grassy bill slopes Just ahead, and -the mirrored lake appears to lip just hoyontl some beckoning meadow, t; He follows on and on and afterward drains the last drop from his canteen Then his throat becomes parched, his tongue cleaves to the roof of his mouth, and strange things pass before his eyes. .The buzzard? begin to soar over him. and the coyotes sit UpOn their hunkers and watch him chnse rainbows until he pitches for ward upon his face and closes bis eyes upon a worid that Is too mysterious and merciless for him to linger In longer." , Song of a Little Rlvar. There's no music lll;e n little river's It plays the same time land that's tin farorlte over and over again, and ye It does .not weary of It like men fid dlers. It takes the mind out of door and. though we should be grateful ( good houses, there Is. after all. in house like God's out of doors. Ann lastly, sir. it (inlets a man down ilk saylng his prayers.
