The cavalry was a long way off now, strung-out dots below a gre: a of dust. “Adids,” he Sisk. and was mildly surprised at the croaking tone of his voice. It sounded, he thought, like the creaking of rusty hinges on a cor- ral gate. Riding up the first brush-. tangled slant of the hills, he took his bearings and chose a pass that should lead to Smuggler’s Well, and hoped it would. It did. Near sundown Rimbaud lay full length in hoof-packed mud and drank cheek to cheek with his horse. American mud and Amer- ican water. It reminded him of an opinion Durango had expressed this morning while he sucked the seepage out of cow tracks in a dry river bed: “The goodness of water is in thirst, amigo.” A queer cuss, Durango. The son of a wealthy landowner, he had risen to a position of power sec- ond pay to Diaz’. Yet he had been so filled with pity for the down- trodden peons that he turned his back on the well-fed aristocracy. A true Robin Hood, he had raided the rich to feed the poor and won the highest acclaim a man could achieve: bandido terrifico! All the poor ones had rallied to his call.

But he had understood that she would accept nothing less than marriage, and a wife was last thing he’d wanted. Thinkii back to the night he left Junction, Rimbaud recalled that Eve Odegarde had wished him luck and said soberly, “A drifter finds only trouble, no matter how far he rides.” Well, her prediction had been Allergic To Rays Of Sun CHEYENNE, Wyo.
