text: THE HERITAGE OF THE DESERT
  
  A NOVEL 
  
  By Zane Grey 
  
  I. THE SIGN OF THE SUNSET 
  
  "BUT the man's almost dead." 
  The words stung John Hare's fainting spirit into life. He opened his eyes. The desert still stretched before him, the appalling thing that had overpowered him with its deceiving purple distance. Near by stood a sombre group of men. 
  "Leave him here," said one, addressing a gray-bearded giant. "He's the fellow sent into southern Utah to spy out the cattle thieves. He's all but dead. Dene's outlaws are after him. Don't cross Dene."
