At tkis desolate spet we spent five
days, occupying the time in caring for
eld Jumbo's ailment, and lightening in
a rapid manner th loads of the ani
mali, for cur appetites had increased
ever since our dopartere frem heme.
Tn every journey that I have over
taken there has always been some dark
particular spoV some day or eeeurrense
thai is fi.ted in nriy memory as the
tarn down page, as it were, of the trip.
Rattlesnake spring3 stands oat boldly

as the eye c u reach npnn every sislo
and sand lizirds, rattlstnakes anal coy
ets are tha only animal life to be met
with; if I exewut an occasional eage
lien thai was flushed by our dogs as we
traveled along the sanely road.
The wind howl! incessantly during
the whele pei iod of our stay, a great
portion of tho time accompanied by a
driving rain. J
One day I toek my gun ana made
tho circuit of a butte that roared its
scald head a short distance from our
camp. (I wake the unusual simile for
the reason that the top of such emi
nencss are eaUert their heads, and this
one reminded me of a banian head
aillitd with elt rheum.) I Lad hard
ly reached a point out ef sight of our
camp, whirl I observed a shabby coy
ote sneaking up the side of the butte.
In pure wantonness, I raised my guf)
te my sbsukler and fired. I was grati
fied by hearing his yelp of anguish, and
seeing his form quivering and beund-
inT in its death agonies. When
arrived at tho spot where
he had fallen the poor fellow was in
the last threes of death. Near where
he had rseeived tho cruel bullet lay a
dead squirrel with marks of his fang.
upon its body, and 1 knew that lie had
been carrying tht small morsel of food,
though starving himself, to his half
famished dam Who fas caring for her
pretty litter in her den among the
crevices of the reck up tho mountain
side. As I looked upon his stiffening
body and considered my part in tho
tragedy, I folt half a murderer, and
whelly ashamed ef tho act.
Man is the only creature that robs
another ef the existence God has given
it, without reason or motive. Hero
was I, standing over an inanimate
frm, made so by my cruelty, in whoso
death I was none the gainer. I was
reminded by lny wantonness of these
seekers of wealth who, when their do
cires are satiated by enormous accu
mulation!!, murder happiness and de
stroy sosis because they have the
power, and itj is their trade. Old
Hatch and Juy Gouli have crushed to
earth thousands, with less eompunc
tin than I felt over tho despised ani
mal that lay dead at my feet.
But there, I dare say . few whose
trade and delight it is to hunt to death
the wild animals of tho forest and
plain, could moralize thus over the
slaying f a prairio wolf, and I drop
tho subject, feeling that I have made
some reparation for tho deed.
Our patient began to show signs of
recovery and wo gladly resumed ear
journey, for wo began to long for tho
forest clad hills and their cooling
shades. The beat: of the lun on these
plains even at this. early season of tho
year is intense; besides, we longed to
reach a locality where game was to be
found and where wo might begin to
look ief "prospects."
We had met a man from tho Methow
rallay, who informed us that a rich
silver lode had been found in the val
ley just previous to his departure, and
as tho Mothow river country lay in the
district wo had marked out for explor
ation, we heped to lose no time in ar
riving in that vicinity.
N jt far from our lata camp made
Memorable by the incidents related,
we passed a lonely grave lurreunded by
wkite pailings, upen a small butte near
the road. We were informed that it
marked the resting place cf a poor fel
low who had suicided niar tho spet
seine years since. No doubt tho act
had been superinduced by tho depres
sing influences that all aaust experience
who traverse this dreary region.' As
we passed the lonely spot, Bill smiled
grimly, remarking in his droll way
that he couldn't help feeling a little
inclined that way himself; after which,
wo urged tho tired "mules" to a livelier
gait, as if to increase tho distance be'
tween ourselves auu the uncanny
place.
We stretched our tent that evening
in a little valley or "coulee" as the
canyon are called. Rattlesnake ceu

After a long dri-e of nearly twenty
miles, we were eesspelled to make a
dry samp. We had passed out of the
grassy, supposably fertile 'region, and
were traversing another sand plain

seenr It towered on each side of the
