The burro, veritable ship of the west ern desert, will live longer without water nnd scent It farther thnn any other known uiiliiuil except the camel. Ah an example of the keen scent of the burro for water, Arthur J. llurdlck relates, lu "The Mystic Mld-ltegion," the experience of two prospectors nam ed I'etei-Bou and Kelloy. A few years ago they attempted to cross tlio Great Mojuve desert on foot wltb a burro to cany their supplies. ' lu passing from oasln to oasis they lost their way, und the supply of wa ter became exhausted. To be lost la the desert In a terrible thing, nnd anx iety, coupled with torturing thirst and the Intense heat, drove l'elerson In snne. He left bin companion and fled, shrieking, across the plain. Kelley picketed the burro aud went after l'o tcrsou to bring him buck, but was tn iiblc. to overtake him. He returned to the trail to Hud that his burro bad broken bin tether and was moving across the desert at n leisurely paee. Ho followed, but tlio nuliual was so fnr In the lend nnd bo wan so exhausted from his efforts to overtake 1'eterson that lie could not come up to the burro. Night ennic upon him, nnd It noon became no dark that hn could not dis tinguish the burro. lie had to follow It by the footprints hi the sand. When It became too dark to distinguish the footprints Kelley still staggered on In sheer desperation. lty and by bin heart gave a grent throb. Ilefore htm, outlined against the sky nnd seemingly suspended In the air. was a form which he knew to be either his burro or nu apparition, lie hurried forward, nnd, lo, ntnndlng upon a sharp rise of ground and facing him was his lost burro. The burro seemed to be awnlting him, for when be came up tlio animal turned and led the way down the Incline to a spring of living water. Kelley gave a shout of Joy and plunged bodily Into the spring. After be had soaked his parched skin anil moistened his Hps and throat he crawled out and went to his burro, which was browsing upon the green herbs growing about the place. Throw ing his arms about the neck of tlio animal, be gave the creature a hearty bug and a kiss. If this mark of affec tion surprised or touched the burro, It made no sign. When Kelley bad taken a fresh sup ply of water he retraced his steps to the point where the burro had broken uwiiy. It was fully ten miles. There Is no. doubt but the animal had scented tlio water ull that distance, and eager ness to get to It had led the burro to strain at Its fastenings till they broke. I'o:r 1'eterson. did not survive. Kel ley found bis body tlio next morning four or live miles from the point where ha had left the trail. (trainee Myths of the Tlhetana. The Tibetans have numberless strungo myths, one, tlio most curious, pertain ing to tlio sun, moon and stars. Tlio sun Ik believed to bo nn Immense ball of yak meat nnd fat, whereon tho spir its of departed ancestors are supposed to feast, the light being caused by Its boated condition. The stars are por tions of this immense yeast, which, dropping to earth, give birth to ani mals for tlio sustenance of suffering humanity. The moon is a lesser bnll of similar texture as the sun, lu use while the larger one Is being replen ished for tho morrow. When sun or moon fails to appear In cloudy days and nights It means that tlio deities are undergoing a period of fasting and religious ulmcgatlon. And tho parched nnd sterile condition of bleak regions is ascribed to the fact tbut many thou sand years ago tho sun ball slipped from tho bands of Its keepers, de scended too near the earth and before being recaptured scorched tboso parts with which it cumo In contuct.

As early ns 175(1, when Burr was a baby of only thirteen mouths, bis own mother wrote thin signlUcant descrip tion of him: "Aaron is a little dirty, noisy boy. lie begins to talk a little, Is very sly and mischievous. He bus more sprlghtliness than Bully, bis sis ter, and most say be Is handsome, but not so good tempered. lie is very reso lute nnd requires a good governor to bring him to terms." That very good governor, bis father, wbo might have niudo such u difference in tho life of the lad, was only a few months later taken out of the world. Ills mother also eoou died.

It was not until the following morning that Challe realized the double menu lug lu Sheridan's words. The debt was canceled. The I, unely Library.
