THE WAR- TRAIL!

CHAPTER XX. LOST UPON THE PRAIRIE.

I slept sweetly aud soundly. I had po dreams, or only such as were light,

and forgotten with the return of con- sciousness.

It was late wheu I awoke. A bright sun was mountivg into the blue and

cloudless sky. This orb was already many degrees above the horizon. Hunger was the father of my first thought. I had eaten nothing since an early hour of the preceding day, aud then only the light desayuna of sweet cake and chocolate. To one not accus- tomed to long feating, a single day with- out food will give some idea of the pain of hunger; that pain will increase upou the secoud day, and have reached its maximum. Upon the fourth and fifth, the body grows weaker, and the brain becomes deranged; the nerve, however, is less acute, and though the suffering is still intense, hunger is

Hunger ad thirst and agony—t!e soover you have not the whe satisfy the one, nor quench che other. Besides,

there is in your very lonelivess a feeling of bewilderment, painful to an extreme degree, and from which only the oldest prairie-mec are free. Your lose power, energy is diminished, and your resolves become weak and vacillating. You feel doubiful at each step asto whether you be following the right path,and are ready at every moment to turn into another. Believe me, it is a fearful thing te be alone aud lost upon the prairies !

I felt this keenly enough. I had been on the great plains before, but it was the first time I had the misfortune to wander astray on them,and | was the more terri- fied thai I had already hungered to no com- There was something singu- lar, too, in the circumstances that had brought me into my present situation. The disappearance of the white steed, although accounted for by perfectly patural causes had left upen my mind a strange impression. That he should

Truly “God tempers! the wind to the shorn lamb !”

As | have said, my first thought was) of something to eat. I rose to my feet. | and with my eye swept the prairie in

every direction : no object, living or| dead, greeted my sight; beast or bird) there was none; my _ horse aloue met my _ glance, quietly browsing}

on his trail-rope. I could not help |3 envying him, as | scanned his well-filled | sides. [ thought of the bounty of the! Creator in thus providing for his less in-

Its cliffs were furrewed and uneven ; recks jutted out aud hung over ; aud in| the seams grew cactus plants, bramble, aod small trees of dwarf cedar (Juni-|} perus prostrata. )

I looked

into its channel. I had

heard. the terrent rolling down ia the}

night. I saw traces of the water among) the rocks. A large body must have) passed, aud yet not a cupful could now! have been lifted from its bed! What remained was fast filtering into the sand, or rising back te the heavens upon the heated atmosphere.

I had brought with me my rifle, in hopes of espying some living creature ;| but’ after walking for a considerable dis- tance along the edge, I abandoned the! search, No trace of bird or quadruped could be found, aud I turned and weut) back to the place where I had slept.

To draw the picket-pin ef my hor-e, and saddle him was the work of a few} miuutes ; this done, I began to bethink me of where I was going. Back to the} of course! That was the’ natural reply to such a question ; but) there was pant far less easily answ er- | ed: How was I to find the way?

My design of the previous night—to | trail—was no! louger practical. The rain had effaced the tracks ! 1 remembered that I had passed | over wide stretches of light dusty soil, | where the hoof scarcely impressed itself.

I remembered that the rain bad been of that characier kuown as “ planet show-| rs.” with large heavy drops, that, in- such places, must have blotted out every trace of the trail. To follow the * back-| was no longer possible. I had) not before thought of this difficulty ; and | now, that it presented-itself to my mind, it was accompanied by a new feeling of | dread.

The Horse in Winter.

Founder, a diseuse that is far too commen in horses, is cuused most fre- | quently by driving or working the api- till it is overheated, und more or less exhausted and then allowing him te ceo! off suddenly without rubbiog dry.

horse is driven hard for several fe and then hitched to a postin the open airin cold winter weather, and perhups forgotten by the driver, whe muy be telling stories, or smeking a pipe by a warm fire. The next mor- ning, if not sooner, it is noticed shat the animal bas not esten well, and can scarcely move from the stail. The lameness may be chivfly in one limb, or in more than than onc,

The first thing w du isto place the horse’s feet in tubs of warm water, then blanket heavily, and get the animal thoroughly warm all over. The lame- ness is eaused by stagnation of the bloed in the feet caused by being

ceoled toe rapidly after exhausting labor. The warm water thiws the bload, extends and softens the blood

vessels, and favors increased circula- tien. In very bad cases, b'eeding the foot may be necessary, though ordi- harily it may be Stapees ed with.

Knowing the cause of founder lit will be seen that it is much easier to prevent than to cure this disease after it becomes established. in the first | lice avoid very severe driving and over | exhenntion: but if abuse of this kind is un: avoidable, see to it that the horse i that has risked his life in the service of his master is not Bey ‘lected at the end of hisjourney. Drive ina warm -hed or barn, free from cold draughts, and }rub vigorously till the animal is dried ‘off,
