But half the pack were still going well, though the pace and distance had both been tremendous two clear hours now without a check. "There was a drive through the pine-wood one of those green, slightly rutted drives where a horse can get the last yard out of itself, for the ground is hard enough to give him clean going and yet springy enough to help him.
And behind him, on the road he had just passed, trailing up the side of a hill, was a wavering, stealthy line, creeping slowly nearer every minute, the gray columns under Dunning. The old man struck the rowels into his horse, the boys would be murdered in their sleep! The road was rutted deep: the horse, an old village hack, lumbered along, stumbling at every step.
Seeing that she did not desire his escort, George let her go; but he frowned as he sat down and took out some paper. Soon afterward Edgar came in, and they drove off in a few more minutes. "Did you see Miss Grant?" Edgar asked when they were jolting down the rutted trail. "I did," George said shortly. "You seem disturbed about it." "I was a little perplexed," George owned.
As soon as the cases were transferred into Rebey's car, he turned back on Sonora's flat, dusty roads, passing Caborca, La Cienega, and turning on the sun-dried rutted road to Ures, which lies parched and dry in the semi-tropical sun. Ures is the central cache for arms smuggled into Sonora by Yocupicio, and the Rebey brothers and Cuen are among the chief contraband runners.
They set off at a rapid trot and the wagon jolted unpleasantly as it crossed the track. Then the horses broke into a gallop, raising a dust-cloud in the rutted street, while the light vehicle rocked in an alarming fashion, and Prescott had some trouble in restraining them when they ran out on to the dim waste of prairie.
The pleasant, wheat-growing valley had been left behind them, and the road from being hilly grew steeper and more steep until it became a mere rutted trail over the mountains.
The road Holmes took was rutted deep with wagon-wheels, not easily travelled; he walked slowly therefore, being weak, stopping now and then to gather strength. He had not counted the hours until this day, to be balked now by a little loss of blood. The moon was nearly down before he reached the Cloughton hills: he turned there into a narrow path which he remembered well.
Your practical man is the least hopeful member of the community. He stands only for material progress. His own, of course!" "You sound like a Farnum editorial, Alice." "Do I?" she flashed. "Then I'll give you the rest of it. He your practical man is rutted to class traditions. This would not be good form or respectable. That would disturb the existing order.
It was next to impossible to haul field guns anywhere off the road, and as the Turks had paid no attention to the highway for some time or where they had done something it was merely to dump down large stones to fill a particularly bad hole it had become deeply rutted and covered with a mass of adhesive mud.
Here trudged the frightened family of some settler, making toward the forts; there a company of troops came gaily marching out on some detail, or perhaps, with fixed bayonets, herded sheep and cattle down some rutted road.
