A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
Bringing Out
Borax l‘rom the Rift! In
m Ynlley. .
They‘deadiiest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the bore: fields of
Death valley of the great American des-
ert. There the longest teams in the
world are outplayed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often registers
140 degrees of heat unrelieved by even
a breath of air, where men sleep at
night in hollow ditches filled with wa-
ter in order to avoid dying from col-
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of males and horses ever harness-
ed to draw the great borer laden wag-
ons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the horscsis greater than that
of domestic animals used in any othel
calling. Forty to 60 horses are often
hitched to one of the lumbering vehi.
clue in which the borax is slowly drag-
. ,ged across the sun baked alkali plains.
The average life of even the sturdiesl
horses used in this work is six months,
for in this length of time they either be-
come broken winded, consumptive from-
iuhaling the deadly dust of the deserl
or are driven crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there, though protected by the
wagon awnings from the sun’s rays,
cannot go an hour without water with-
out danger of death. When a team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes depleted, the men ride on at to};
speed for the nearest source of supply,
and often when they return they find
that the remaining-horses, made mad
by thirst, have broken from the harness
and dashed off only to find death in the
desert.
The hora: wagons weigh 8,000
pounds and curry 20,000 pounds at a
load. Behind eachwag’on is a tank con-
taining hundreds of gallons of water.
The horses are harnessed in pairs, the
trained ones in the lead, and the next
in intelligence just ahead of the tongue,
. while the unruly and the youngsters are
hitched between. The nigh leader has
a bridle with the strap from the left
jaw shorter than the other, and from
the bridle runs a braided rope, which
the driver, perched on the wagon seat,
holds in his right hand.
The rope is called the "jerk line" and
is a little longer than the team, which
stretches on several hundred feet in
front of th wagon. During the busy
season the borax wagons make an al-
most continuous train. and the horse:
alone, if placed in single file, would
make a team more than 100 miles long.
Besides . a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They carry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months of the killing
labor the poor creatures become unfit
for service. A kindly rifle ball then end.-
thcir agony. and their emaciated car-
casses are left alongside the trail to fur-
nish scant picking for tho hovering vul-

“You must take it." “me. Renae
said to her husband. She was a small
brunette. thin and ”aggressive, who
strongly reminded one of little pet dogs
who received visitors by snapping and
snarling at their, heels as soon as the
Mr. Renae was a big, jolly dry goods
merchant, and he watched his spouse
ruefully as she unhooked a heavy cloth
cape from the rack in the hall. He had
hoped against hope that for once she
would forget to lumber his bicycle with
that clumsy old cloak, it was such a
bore: _ ,
“It looks like rain," the little wom-
an continued, “aud lam not going to
allow you to come back drenched to the
skin, much as it would please you. A
cold means money, and our physician
is a fool. He is incapable of curing
either. pneumonia or plenrisy. So kind-
ly tell me what would become of me in
case of your death? Do you suppose your
parents are going to support me? No,
indeed, and you know it, and as Iwould
never marry again I should have my
bread to beg from door to door. Not
that it would make much difference to
you, but I should prefer suicide to beg-
gory."
While speaking with a fluency which
would have done credit to a politician
on a slumping tour, she rolled thcwapl-
into a tight bundle, ticd a bit of string
around it, and there it was, ready to be
fastened on the handle of his wheel.
“In your way?" she. exclaimed in
shrill repetition. “Well, I would really
like to know why? ()5, I see, it is not
the swell thing, and you are afraid that
the ladies you pass on the road will
think you are carrying a bundle. Is
that it? If you must know my mind, 1
think I em a perfect idiot to allow you
=0 much freedom. How do I know
rue any story you like when you mun
buck, and it is false just as likely as
not.”
chne bowed his head patiently to
the storm, for well he know that one
.vord, one timid protest, would exasper-
ltc his wife into further pulley, and the
liscussiou would drag on indefinitely,
out as today she seemed rather more

ly, as if they were lost forever and as
though it would be a useless effort on
their part to attempt to catch up with

however, and the molecule: was most

a friendly restaurant, rapturoushv sip-
ping aauterne‘and aeltérs and gazing
with dreamy eyes beaming with love
and pride at his wheel, which issued
gracefully against a tree in front of
him, a premonition seized him. What
Was. missing? And with a cry be sprang
to his feet. it was the cape. An instan-
taneous change passed over Renne's
World; the wine soured; a sharp wind
arose which ruffled his hair and temper;
every old crack and blister showed out
plainly on the varnished parts of his
bicycle. and even the rubber tire locked
Renee's heart turned sick ache not
lost in dejected reflection. All the en-
crgy and strength of mind which he
brought no courageously into play while
earning his daily bread seemed to melt
away and disappear before the disas-
trous loss of the cape. As he sat with
his head buried iuhishunds he pictured
his return and reception by Mme.
Renae. It would not take her half a
second to discover his misfortune, he
thought, and well he know what scenes .
would ensue—tours, lamentations, rev
preaches, sulks andoutbursls of rage,
in which the little vixen fairly reveled
in her moments of uncontrolled fury.
Gracious heavens! Seized with a chill,
he hurriedly paid his bill at the restau-
rant, and, jumping on his poor old bicy-
cle, which had beaten the record com-
ing, he started llomcwurd. Ono wagon
passed him after the other—first u butch-
er's cart, next on old fat women driv-
ing a donkey, then a gypsy wagon, with
an impudcnf, long haired rascal who
stared mockingly but uneasily after
him. Ronne fcltvcry much inclined to
question him about his capo, but u feel-
ing of rcticcnco withheld him, forhe
strongly suspected that the man had
found it, and that it lay hidden some-
where under the lot of quarroling, cry-
ing this which filled the wagon back

could not be sane.

whittled gnyly, delighted with his clov-
