As Red reached for Beryls hand she looked up at him
with a wonderingsmile and her color deepened. Far across a warm and colorful plain
anupflung range rolled and billowed along the western horizon. It was oblong in
shape, of varying width, and mileslong.
Ill bet McKinney will burn powder before hestops
thet Matazel an his braves.
There wouldnt be no sense in goin out to
stopthem.
For Sterl, and surely all of them, it was the
rebirth of hope, oflife, of the sense of beauty. Sterl dragged the astounded and
backward Leslie up to the couple.
A new factor suddenly engaged Logans mind. He
wasted no more time there, butrode across the flat below the bench, and climbed the
west slope.
After this awful trek, you cant still like
Australia!
The black tapped his broad breast with his virile
hand. With incrediblespeed it blotted out the sun, spread gloom over the earth, bore
down inconvolutions. Dann halted his four horses, and Slyter stoppedbeside him. But
if there had been no Leslie, probably Id have told youanyhow. Most of the larger
canyons hadseldom-ridden trails along the brooks that traversed them.
In this new andunsettled country I think I may be
useful in other ways besides being acattleman. I dont think its possible to
exaggerate Reds love for that girl.
We all hear, Stanley, and our hearts are full,
replied Slyter.
I swore Id foolyou once an go on my knees to you
the rest of my life! These had been made by a cinnamon, as he could tell by the
narrowheel. We havent heard the last of thet redskin, replied
Willis,emphatically.
And Leslie added: Oh, Sterl,let us never
leave!
Deer, elk,coyotes melted up the slopes at his
approach. Theyjoked with the sombre-eyed Apaches, who sat huddled in a group
underguard. Im happy and fortunate to be able to cast my lot with you! He had never
ridden completely around this canyon or from end to end.
Wal,Huett, youre as welcome out hyar as May
flowers.
Transparent smoke appeared to be rising up overthe
sun. The range lifehe had led before his campaign suited him better. Slowly the
pondering thought of his long-cherished plan faded intosensorial perceptions.
Horton, do we look like starving trekkers? Armywere cutting a road through the
timber on the rim of the Mogollon Mesaabove the Tonto Basin.
Presently a squad of soldiers rode down into the
glade.
Huett made an early start and headed north down the
canyon. Sterl, come here and stand up with Beryl, he called.
