gazed with slowly realizing eyes. A league-long slope of sage
rolled and billowed down to Red Lake, a dry red basin, denuded and
glistening, a hollow in the desert, a lonely and desolate door to
the vast, wild, and broken upland beyond. All day Shefford had
plodded onward with the clear horizon-line a thing unattainable;
and for days before that he had ridden the wild bare flats and
climbed the rocky desert benches. The great colored reaches and
steps had led endlessly onward and upward through dim and deceiving
distance. A hundred miles of desert travel, with its mistakes and
lessons and intimations, had not prepared him for what he now saw.
He beheld what seemed a world that knew only magnitude. Wonder and
awe fixed his gaze, and thought remained aloof. Then that dark and
unknown northland flung a menace at him. An irresistible call had
drawn him to this seamed and peaked border of Arizona, this broken
battlemented wilderness of Utah upland; and at first sight they
frowned upon him, as if to warn him not to search for what lay
hidden beyond the ranges.
