The hollow funnel of the passage had been worn flat by the years, and by the constant passing of the inscrutable reptiles. Kalus saw and heard nothing -only the pounding of his heart, and the gentle rasp of his fur boots against the life-dry sandstone.

The time came when the Bald-faced Kid recalled that Old Man Curry's next remark was not a direct reply to his question.
Stewart appeared to be besting the old cattleman. "Help, boys, help!" yelled Stillwell. "I can't hold him. Hurry, or there's goin' to be blood spilled!" Nick Steele and several cowboys leaped to Stillwell's assistance. Stewart, getting free, tossed one aside and then another. They closed in on him.
