The expanse of plains was bound- less, the loneliness became overpowering. They had not the remotest idea whether they were traveling toward any white settlement Human life seemed to shun them. ** Dick/' said Albert one day, " do you remember ttie story of the Flying Dutchman, how he kept trying for years to round the Cape of Storms, and couldn't do itt I wonder if some such penalty is put on us, and if so, what for! " The thought lodged in the minds of both. Oppressed by long and fruitless wan...derings, they began to have a superstition that they were to continue them forever. They knew that it was unreasonable, but it clung, never- theless. There were the rolling plains, the high, brasi^ sky, and the clear line of the horizon on all sides, with nothing that savored of human life between. They had hoped for an emigrant train, or a wander- ing band of hunters, or possibly a troop of cavalry, but the days passed and they met none. Still the same high, brassy sky, still the same unbroken horizons.
