When Johnny Wells went pounding out of Indian Wells, following the fleeing Sands, he had no idea where the chase might lead. They whirled out around a cluster of adobe buildings, away from the lights, and swept into the open country, with only the stars for illumination.
Johnny had a good horse, but he realised that Sands had taken Smoky's sorrel, a running fool. They struck a dusty road, which helped Johnny in following Sands. Of course he had no idea when he might run into Sands in the dark, but he was willing to take chances.
