The desert still stretched before him, the appal- ling 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.

As he lay there the strange words of the Mormans linked the hard experience of the last few days with the stern reality of the present. “Martin Cole, I hold to the spirit of our fathers,” replied Naab, like one reading from the Old Testament. “They came into this desert land to worship and multiply in peace.
