Then answer the questions,<br />The horseman rode slowly toward the west, stopping once or twice to examine<br />the wide circle of the horizon with eyes that were trained to note every aspect of<br />the wilderness. On his right the plains melted away in gentle swell after swell,<br />until they met the horizon.<br />On his left was the wide bed of a river which flowed through the sand, breaking<br />here and there into several streams, and then reuniting, only to scatter its volume<br />a hundred yards further into three or four channels. A bird of prey flew on strong<br />wing over the water, but there was no other sign of life,<br />The horseman looked most often into the south. His glances into the north were<br />few and brief. His was an attractive face. He was young, only a boy, but the brow<br />was broad and high, and the eyes, grave and steady. He was clad completely in<br />buckskin.

The air was growing<br />perceptibly colder. The strong gusts were now fusing into a steady wind. The day,<br />which had not been bright at any time, was turning darker. The sun was gone and<br />in the far north banks of mists and vapor were gathering. A dreary moaning came<br />over the plain<br />Answer the question,<br />1.
