AND WESTWARD THE VALLEY OPENED UNTIL A DISTANT DARKNESS UNDER THE SKY TOLD WHERE THE FORESTS BEGAN BUT THE THREE MEN LOOKED NEITHER EAST NOR WEST BUT ONLY STEADFASTLY ACROSS THE VALLEY
nd in the torrent bed upon the sight of a very broad and spacious valley. The difficult and winding trench of pebbles along which they had tracked the fugitives for so long, expanded to a broad slope, and with a common impulse the three men left the trail, and rode to a little eminence set with olive-dun trees, and there halted, the two others, as became them, a little behind the man with the silver-studded bridle. For a space they scanned the great expanse below them with eager eyes. It spread remoter and remoter, with only a few clusters of sere thorn bushes here and there, and the dim suggestions of some now waterless ravine, to break its desolation of yellow grass. Its purple distances melted at last into the bluish slopes of the further hills—hills it might be of a greener kind—and above them invisibly supported, and seeming indeed to hang in the blue, were the snowclad summits of mountains that grew larger and bolder to the north-westward as the sides of the valley drew together. E ABRUPTLY ROUND A BEND IN THE TORRENT BED UPON THE SITE OF A VERY BROAD AND SPACIOUS VALLEY THE DIFFICULT WINDING TRENCH OF PEBBLES ALONG WHICH THEY HAD TRACKED THE FUGITIVES FOR SO LONG EXPANDED TO A BROAD SLOPE AND WITH A COMMON IMPULSE THE THREE MEN LEFT THE TRAIL AND RODE TO A LITTLE EMINENCE SET WITH OLIVE DUN TREES AND THERE HALTED THE TWO OTHERS AS BECAME THEM A LITTLE BEHIND THE MAN WITH THE SILVER STUDDED BRIDLE FOR A SPACE THEY SCANNED THE GREAT EXPANSE BELOW THEM WITH EAGER EYES IT SPREAD REMOTER AND REMOTER WITH ONLY A FEW CLUSTERS OF SERE THORN BUSHES HERE AND THERE AND THE DIM SUGGESTIONS OF SOME NOW WATERLESS RAVINE TO BREAK ITS DESOLATION OF YELLOW GRASS ITS PURPLE DISTANCES MELTED AT LAST INTO THE BLUISH SLOPES OF THE FURTHER HILLS HILLS IT MIGHT BE OF A GREENER KIND AND ABOVE THEM INVISIBLY SUPPORTED AND SEEMING INDEED TO HANG IN THE BLUE WITH THE SNOW CLAD SUMMITS OF MOUNTAINS THAT GREW LARGER AND BOLDER TO THE NORTH WESTWARD AS THE SIDES OF THE VALLEY DREW TOGETHER
