In The Storm
The Texan Scouts

Read the passage. Then answer the questions,
The horseman rode slowly toward the west, stopping once or twice to examine
the wide circle of the horizon with eyes that were trained to note every aspect of
the wilderness. On his right the plains melted away in gentle swell after swell,
until they met the horizon.
On his left was the wide bed of a river which flowed through the sand, breaking
here and there into several streams, and then reuniting, only to scatter its volume
a hundred yards further into three or four channels. A bird of prey flew on strong
wing over the water, but there was no other sign of life,
The horseman looked most often into the south. His glances into the north were
few and brief. His was an attractive face. He was young, only a boy, but the brow
was broad and high, and the eyes, grave and steady. He was clad completely in
buckskin. A rifle held in one hand lay across the pommel of his saddle and there
were weapons in his belt. Two lights and blankets, folded closely, were tied
behind him. The tanned face, strong figure showed a wonderful degree of health
and strength. Several hours passed and the horseman rode on steadily though
slowly. He never failed to search the plains on elther side, but chiefly in the south.
But the lonesome gray land, cut by the coiling yellow river, still rolled before him.
It waſ the depth of the Texan winter, and, at times, Icy gusts, born in far
mounlons, swept across the plains.
The rider presently turned his horse toward the river and stopped on a low bluff
overlooking it, as if his eyes failed to find objects for which they sought. Again he
gazed long and patiently into the south, but without reward,
He resumed his ride parallel with the river, but soon stopped a second time, and
held up an open hand, like one who tests the wind. The air was growing
perceptibly colder. The strong gusts were now fusing into a steady wind. The day,
which had not been bright at any time, was turning darker. The sun was gone and
in the far north banks of mists and vapor were gathering. A dreary moaning came
over the plain
