My son! the road the human being travels, That, on which blessing comes and goes, doth follow The river's course, the valley's playful windings, Curves round the corn-field and the hill of vines, Honouring the holy bounds of property! There exists A higher than the warrior's excellence."
Again they neared the valley's rim, so that pine trees with every branch sagging under its load of snow, fringed the background. Like a pastel of a storm among hills that she had at home, thought Mrs. Singleton Corey irrelevantly. But was it Jack whom the man called Hank referred to? The thought chilled her. "What's he hidin' out for, Hank? Funny I never heard anything about it."
But it was not long before the Stronghold solved the mystery, for Kenset rode boldly in one day and introduced himself. It was mid-afternoon, for the cabin in the glade lay a long way from the Valley's head, and the whole big place lay silent as death in the summer sun.
But on this one day too Green Valley shunned the man who sent him to his death. So every Decoration Day William came alone to put a wreath on Bob's grave and watch the exercises from a distance. When it was over he went home alone. And Green Valley let him do it year after year. He was never known to murmur at Green Valley's annual censure nor did he ever seem to hope for forgiveness.
Lawless was not greedy, but he and good gold were not at variance. "See," said Shon, "the valley's the thing. We can hunt as we go, and if there's gold for the scrapin', why, there y'are fill up and come again. If not, divil the harm done.
"Loan her to me for the rest of the day," said Miss Allison. "I can show her plenty of cobwebs, the kind she is pining for." So it happened that a little later, when Miss Allison crossed the road to the post-office, and started up the path toward home, Lloyd was with her, smiling happily over the prospect of spending the day with the patron saint of all the Valley's merrymakings.
"I visit New Mexico next, but I'm after something else besides a description of mountains and men; I'm also going to hunt up an old friend interested in mining, who told me if I ever got out this way I must look him up. "I haven't seen him for years. He was continually singing this valley's charms, and so here I am. And I'm planning a great surprise on him.
Far up at the Valley's head against the huge uplift of the jumbled and barren rocklands the scattered squat buildings of the Stronghold brooded like a monster. Spread out on the velvet slopes below lay the herds that belonged to it, sleek fat cattle, guarded carelessly by a few lazy and desultory riders.
So, in the midst of a merrymaking, John Roger Churchill Knight introduced Timothy Williams to Green Valley, introduced him in such a way as to pave a wide clear path for him into Green Valley hearts. And so quick was Green Valley's response that before that same merrymaking was over Green Valley was calling him Timothy and inviting him over for Sunday dinner. So then they were all provided for.
The boulder-strewn plain between the valley's edge and the mighty granite kopje, outside the city's walls, where lay the entrance to the passage-way leading to the treasure vault, gave the Belgian ample cover as he followed Tarzan toward Opar. He saw the giant ape-man swing himself nimbly up the face of the great rock.
