Straightaway for five miles the trail stretched, and then it
disappeared in hummocky ground. To the right, some few rods,

opposite wall. Venters imagined that the trail went down into the
Pass somewhere north of those ridges. And he realized that he
must and would overtake Jerry Card in this straight course of
Riders of the Purple Sage |
