With him he carried his rifle and a
revolver. A canteen of water was
slung over his shoulder The desert
had placed it's stamp upon him, turn

Dick slowly moved toward the mouth

From the hillside a rifle shot rang

He fell and lay motionless.
Pulling his revolver, Jack stopped
and ran under the overhanging ledge,
peering about to see where the shot
had come from. He raised his gun to
fire when a volley of rifle shots rang
through the canyon, the bullets kick

and chipping edges off the rocks. Jack
dropped on his knees and crept to his
rifle, clipping his revolver back into
his holster.
Crouching behind a rock, with his
rifle to his shoulder, he waited for the
