During the year before, I had ridden over the better-known trails of Glacier Park with Howard Eaton's riding party, and when I had crossed the Gunsight Pass, we had looked north and west to a great country of mountains capped with snow, with dense forests on the lower slopes and in the valleys. "What is it?" I had asked the ranger who had accompanied us across the pass.
And one thing more not a man in Gunsight knew the first thing about his associates in the mine. "I'll tell you the truth," said the overbearing L. W. as he stood arguing with Rimrock in front of the Alamo, "I don't believe you've got any company.
She was to escape, however, while they were lunching in some secluded fastness, and, riding back to the pass, was to meet there a rescue party, which the Ostermaiers were to meet on the way down to Gunsight Chalet.
It was all over now all over but the details and the final acceptance of terms and, while he waited, he packed up to go. No one knew better than Rimrock himself that it was right and fitting to move on. Old hatreds and animosities, old heart-burnings and recriminations, would make Gunsight a hell-spot for him, and thwart him at every move. It was best to go on to Mexico.
It had the jail smell about it, a rank, caged-animal odor that she learned to recognize later, but there was no mention of any jail. He enclosed a check and a power of attorney, with directions for buying some land and then there came a telegram from New York. M. R. Fortune, Gunsight, Arizona.

Well, he thought to himself, if it's a real object out there, my radar should pick it up too; so he flipped on his radar-ranging gunsight.
This circumstance gave rise to the celebrated "Gunsight Lead," a phantom that was chased in every direction from Death Valley; but, like the mirage of the desert, the lead was never found. In summer the valley is said to be the hottest place on the face of the earth, and persons deprived of water even for an hour become insane.
A great crowd was present the whole populace of Gunsight was waiting to see their hero come home and as the train rolled in and Rimrock dropped off, in the excitement she found tears in her eyes. But then, that was nothing; Woo Chong, the restaurant Chinaman, was weeping all over the place; and Old Hassayamp Hicks, hobbling off through the crowd, wiped his eyes and sobbed, unashamed.
"I used to run this whole town I'm the man that discovered the mines." "What, the Gunsight mines? Why, I thought Mr. McBain " "McBain what?" "Why, I thought he discovered the mines." Rimrock straightened up angrily, then he sat back in his chair and shook his head at her cynically. "He didn't need to," he answered. "All he had to do was to discover an error in the way I laid out my claim.
The long, stratified faces of rock escarpments caught the glow of the sliding sun and became battlemented towers of ancient story. The riders climbed steadily now, no longer engulfed in the ground swell of land waves. They breathed an air like wine, strong, pure, bracing. Presently their way led them into a hill pocket, which ran into a gorge of piñons stretching toward Gunsight Pass.
