Trueman sailed forth into the
sunlight like man possessed. He
did not know whether he was try
ing to escape from himself or find
himself. 1t had been all very we'll
to talk loftily to Sol Winter, but
now that he was out in the open
many feelings began to edge into
his incomprehensible buoyancy.
He did not notice the heat while
he was striding out of town, but
when he got to the cedars and
mounted slope to a lonely spot he
was grateful for the cool shade. He
threw aside coat and sombrero, and
lay down on the fragrant mat of
cedar needles. How good to be
there! He became aware of his la
bored breathing, of moist, restless
hands, of hot face. Excitement was
strong upon him.

Chapter 7
ENCOUNTER AND CHALLENGE

Only one thing had stood in the
way of happy return to Wagon
tongue, and that had been possibil-
ity of a clash with Cass Seward,
the sheriff.
This now no longer perturbed
Rock. 1t had been reckless, per-
haps foolish, for him to come back,
when he had known that the proba-
bilities were that Cass would try
to make him show yellow and clap
him in Jail, because of shooting
affray which Rock had not start
ed. But it had been Rocks way to
come, not knowing. That hazard
was past. Rock paid tribute to the
death sheriff, and welcomed the
fact that he had a clean slate be-
fore him.
That gray-eyed girl Thiry Pres
ton! Here he did surrender. She
was the girl. All his life he had
been dreaming of her. To realize
she actually lived! Nor did he ask
himself any questions about love.
Whatever it was, it had been sud-
den, inevitable, and fearsome only
in its premonition of tremendous
might.
This was not decision, but real
ization and acceptance. Decision
had to do with remaining near
Wagontongue, and it was made the
instant the question presented. He
would ask Gage Preston for a job
riding, and if one was not avail
able he would ask some other cat
tleman. He could go into the cattle
business himself. He had enough
money for good start, and the
idea had always appealed to him.
The thought of Ash Preston was
disturbing. When Rock, having
burned his bridges behind him,
tried to give up to the trance-like
memory of Thirty, this wild brother
obtruded his evil frame and person
to spoil it. Rock had a premonition
that he would have trouble with
Preston, but he deliberately refused
to haribor it. He absolutely must
not fight with Thiry's brother.
At length Rock left the cedar
nook and started to retrace his
steps. He had come quite high up
the slope, and he could see the
town below, and beyond it, to the
south.
Far to the south, across belt of
gray desert, rose the range coun-
try.
Folding down over the range at
it's southern line lay the purple
broken highlands of rock and gorge
and forest, and above these rose
the black mountains, not peaked,
but wave on wave of great flat
domes 1imned against the blue. The
scene caused Trueman to draw a
deep breath. He could not discern
Sunset Pass from that point, but
