CHAPTER XII.

Instead of returning to the city on
Monday, Daylight rented the butchers
horse for another day and crossed the
bed of the valley to it's eastern hills.
AS on the previous day, just for the
Joy of 1t, he followed cattle-trails at
haphazard and worked his way up to-
ward the SUBMITS. Coming out upon
a wagon road that led upward, he fol-
lowed 1t for several miles, emerging
In small, mountain-encircled valley,
where half a dozen poor ranchers
farmed the wine-grapes on the steep
slopes. Beyond, the road pitched up
ward. Dense chaparral covered the
exposed hillsides, but in the creases
Of the canyons huge spruce trees
grew. and wild oats and flowers.
Late in the afternoon he broke
through, and followed a well-def1ned
trail down a dry canyon. The dry
canyon gave place to one with a slen-
der ribbon of running water. The
trail ran into wood-road, and the
wood-road emerged across a small fat
upon slightly travelled country road.
There were no farms in this immedi-
ate section, and no houses. The soil
was meager, the bedrock either close
to the surface or constituting the sur
face itself. Manzanita and scrub-oak.
however, flourished and walled the
road on either side with q jungle
growth. And out runway through
this growth man suddenly scuttled
in a way that reminded Daylight Of a

overalls; bareheaded, with a cotton
shirt open at the throat and down the
chest. The sun was lruddy.brown I'm
