Then Bill started a blaze roaring in the black-mouthed fireplace to make it look natural, he said and went out to hobble his horses for the night.

"Here's the canyon and creek we must follow up to Coconina. My peon mapped them in the sand for me one day. It'll probably be a long climb." Hare poured the water out of his boots, pulled them on, and helping Mescal to mount Silvermane, he took the bridle over his arm and led the way into a black-mouthed canyon, through which flowed a stream of clear water.
