Range Ghost
“His rider kept casting anxious glances toward the southwest. Now the far distant sand hills had vanished and there the desert was a strange purplish-blue, an unearthly and sinister shade. The wind was strengthening and lifting the sands to form a smoky veil shot with lurid flickers like to lightning behind a cloud. Slade began to regret that he had left the comparative safety of the sheltering overhang in the dry wash. Looked very much like they were going to be caught by a desert storm. The he...at seemed to be, if anything, increasing and the air had a creamy feel that made breathing a labored effort.
On and on forged the tall black horse, pitting his superb strength and endurance against the grim, imponderable forces of nature at its worst. From time to time, Slade halted to give him a little water and a chance to catch his breath, then on and on toward where the hospitable rangeland lay somewhere beyond the ever retreating horizon.
Everything considered, they were making good time, but that threatening dust cloud in the southwest was traveling just a little faster.MoreLess
