"Starlight and you and Na-che's little song," murmured Enoch; "I am hard to satisfy, am I not?" He put his arms about Diana and kissed her softly, then let her lead the way down to the spring. And shortly, rolled in his blankets, his feet to the dying fire, Enoch was deep in sleep. Sun-up found them on the trail again. All day the way wound through country that had been profoundly eroded.
I'd have promised him anything. I'm awful scared. Why don't the men come back?" Annie Squires was sobbing now. "And this was our country. We let them people in. I know it's true, what he said. And I told him that at sun-up " "Don't bother about that," said Wid Gardner quietly. "Now you two set right here in the house," he added, as he rose and picked up the rifle he saw hanging on its nails.
I don buried her at sun-up an' I want it tole if it ever is tole that the child was buried long o' Zalie. She done planned while she was a-dying. "I told her what you-all promised an' she went real content-like after that." There was sodden despair in Becky's voice. "Who is the father of this child?" The commonplace question, under the strain, sounded trivial but it was rung from Angela's dismay.
"'The Hacienda Tulorosa is twenty miles back further in the hills. The padre, the law sharp an' me is started before sun-up, an' a good road-gait fetches us to the Hacienda Tulorosa in a couple of hours. It's the sort of a ranch which a high grade Mexican with a strong bank-roll would throw up. It's built all 'round a court, with a flower garden and a fountain in the centre.
About midnight the storm quit and the moon come out and lit up the ocean, and we begun to feel comfortable and drowsy; so we stretched out on the lockers and went to sleep, and never woke up again till sun-up. The sea was sparkling like di'monds, and it was nice weather, and pretty soon our things was all dry again.

Where three giant mesquite trees, their tops reared high in the air and their trunks banked up with sand, sprawled together to make a natural barricade, Wunpost unpacked his mules and tied them there to browse while he climbed to the top of a mound.
A full hour was spent in getting men and animals ready to drink without injury, and Yellow Pine at last declared, triumphantly, "Jedge, we've won the riffle; we won't lose a hoof. All the men are doing first-rate too. This 'ere's my old campin'-ground, but there's been an Indian camp here since sun-up." "How do you know that, Pine?" "Found live fire. There hasn't been any dew on it to put it out.
But in the meantime Dan had become Showman of the Showers. "See anything?" he asked, soon after sun-up, waving his hands towards the northern slip-rails, as we stood at the head of the thoroughfare speeding our parting guests; and then he drew attention to the faintest greenish tinge throughout the homestead enclosure such a clean-washed-looking enclosure now.
For one thing I shall ask you to tell me all you know about your own family. Now scamper along and be here to-morrow morning at sun-up." "May I bring my cousin, Jumper the Hare, if he wants to come?" asked Peter, as he prepared to obey Old Mother Nature. "Bring him along and any one else who wants to learn," replied Old Mother Nature kindly.
