At the end of the side street he struck boldly across the desert, driving in his spurs and urging the gallant dun to its top speed. In a matter of minutes he was out of view of the town a speck bobbing amid the clumps of mesquite, palo verde, and cactus. He raced for the mountains in the northwest.
She was on Mesa Verde, headed for Blue Cañon looked like." "Close enough to speak to her?" Sam asked. "Yes. We passed the time of day." "And then?" Luck cut back into the conversation with a voice like a file. "She went on toward the gulch and I kept on to the ranch. The last I saw of her she was going straight on."
