00:00until he took his brother into his heart as he would take himself in
00:04and he come upon his own person in want in some desert place in the world.
00:13Now, as he was concluding this speech,
00:17there passed in the road a nigger drawing a funeral hearse for one of his own kind,
00:22and it was painted pink, and the nigger was dressed in clothes of every color like a carnival clown.
00:30And the young man pointed out this nigger passing in the road,
00:34and he said that even a black nigger...
00:39Here, the judge paused.
00:42He'd been looking into the fire, and he raised his head and looked around him.
00:47His narration was much in the matter of a recital.
00:50He had not lost the thread of his tale.
00:53He smiled at the listeners about.
00:55He said that even a crazy black nigger was not less than a man among men.
01:04And then the old man's son stood up and began an oration himself,
01:09pointing out at the road and calling for a place to be made for the nigger.
01:14He used those words.
01:15That a place be made.
01:19Of course, by this time the nigger and hearse had passed on from sight.
01:24With this, the old man repented all over again,
01:27and swore that the boy was right,
01:29and the old woman, who was seated by the fire, was amazed at all she heard.
01:34And when the guest announced that the time had come for his departure,
01:37she had tears in her eyes,
01:39and the little girl came out from behind the bed and clung to his clothes.
01:46The man offered to walk him out the road,
01:50so as to see him off on his journey,
01:52and to apprise him of which fork in the road to take,
01:56and which not,
01:58for there were scarcely any way signs in that part of the world.
02:01As they walked out, they spoke of life in such a wild place,
02:07where such people as you saw you saw but one, and never again.
02:11And by and by they came to the fork in the road.
02:14And here the traveller told the old man that he had come with him far enough.
02:20And he thanked them,
02:21and they took their departure each of the other.
02:24And the stranger went on his way.
02:27But the harnesser seemed unable to suffer the loss of his company.
02:32And he called to him,
02:33and he went with him again,
02:35a little way up the road.
02:38And by and by they came to a place where the road was darkened in a deep wood.
02:42And in this place,
02:44the old man killed the traveller.
02:47He killed him with a rock.
02:49And he took his clothes,
02:51and he took his watch,
02:52and his money,
02:53and he buried him in a shallow grave by the side of the road.
02:58Then he went home.
02:59On the way,
03:01he tore his own clothes,
03:02and bloodied himself with a flint.
03:04And he told his wife they had been set upon by robbers.
03:08And the young traveller murdered,
03:10and him only escaped.
03:13She began to cry,
03:14and after a while,
03:16she made him take her to the place,
03:17and she took wild primrose,
03:20which grew in plenty thereabout,
03:22and she put it on the stones.
03:25And she came there many times,
03:27until she was old.
03:30The harness maker lived until his son was grown,
03:34and never did anyone harm again.
03:37As he lay dying,
03:38he called the son to him,
03:39and he told him what he had done.
03:42And the son said that he forgave him,
03:45if it was his to do so.
03:48And the old man said that it was his to do so.
03:52And then he died.
03:55But the boy was not sorry,
03:56for he was jealous of the dead man.
03:58And before he went away,
04:00he visited that place,
04:01and cast away the rocks,
04:02and dug up the bones,
04:04and scattered them in the forest.
04:06And then he went away.
04:08He went away to the west.
04:11And he himself
04:12became a killer of men.
04:15The old woman was still living at the time,
04:17and she knew none of what had passed.
04:20And she thought that wild animals
04:21had dug the bones and scattered them.
04:24Perhaps she did not find all the bones,
04:26but such as she did,
04:28she restored to the grave,
04:30and she covered them up,
04:31and piled the stones over them,
04:33and carried flowers to that place as before.
04:37When she was an old woman,
04:38she told people that it was her son buried there,
04:41and perhaps, by that time, it was so.
04:47Here, the judge looked up and smiled.
04:51There was a silence.
04:53Then all began to shout at once,
04:55with every kind of disclaimer.
04:58He was no honest maker.
05:00He was a shoemaker,
05:01and he was clear to them charges,
05:03called one.
05:05And another.
05:06He never lived in no wilderness place.
05:09He had a job dead in the center,
05:12cubbin' land, Maryland.
05:14They never knew where them bones come from.
05:20That woman was crazy,
05:21known to be so.
05:26That was my brother in that casket,
05:28and he was a minstrel down side of Cincinnati, Ohio.
05:32Was shot to death over a woman,
05:34and other protests,
05:36until the judge raised both hands for silence.
05:38Wait now, he said,
05:41for there's a rider to the tail.
05:43There was a young bride,
05:45waiting for that traveler,
05:47with whose bones we are acquainted,
05:49and she bore a child in her womb
05:51that was the traveler's son.
05:55Now this son,
05:56whose father's existence in this world
05:58is historical and speculative,
06:00even before the son has entered it,
06:04is in a bad way.
06:06All his life he carries before him
06:08the idol of a perfection
06:10to which he can never attain.
06:14The father dead
06:15has euchred the son out of his patrimony.
06:19For it is the death of the father
06:21to which the son is entitled,
06:25and to which he is heir,
06:27more so than his goods.
06:28He will not hear of the small mean ways
06:31that tempered the man in life.
06:34He will not see him struggling
06:35in follies of his own devising.
06:38No.
06:39The world which he inherits
06:41bears him false witness.
06:43He is broken before a frozen god,
06:46and he will never find his way.
06:49What is true of one man,
06:51said the judge,
06:53is true of many.
06:55The people who once lived here
06:57are called the Anasazi,
06:59the old ones.
07:01They quit these parts,
07:02routed by drought or disease
07:04or by wandering bands of marauders.
07:08Quit these parts ages since,
07:11and of them there is no memory.
07:14They are rumors
07:15and ghosts in this land.
07:18And they are much revered.
07:20The tools,
07:22the art,
07:23the building,
07:23these things stand in judgment
07:25on the latter races,
07:27yet there is nothing
07:28for them to grapple with.
07:30The old ones are gone like phantoms,
07:33and the savages wander these canyons
07:35to the sound of an ancient laughter.
07:38In their crude huts
07:39they crouch in darkness,
07:42and listen to the fear
07:43seeping out of the rock.
07:44All progressions
07:47from a higher
07:47to a lower order
07:49are marked by ruins
07:51and mystery
07:53and a residue
07:54of nameless rage.
07:56So,
07:57here
07:58are the dead fathers.
08:00Their spirit
08:01is entombed
08:02in the stone.
08:04It lies upon the land
08:05with the same weight
08:06and the same ubiquity.
08:09For whoever makes
08:10a shelter of reeds
08:11and hides
08:11has joined his spirit
08:13to the common destiny
08:14of creatures,
08:16and he will
08:17subside back
08:18into the primal mud
08:20with scarcely a cry.
08:23But who builds in stone
08:25seeks to alter
08:25the structure
08:26of the universe,
08:28and so it was
08:29with these masons,
08:31however primitive
08:32their works
08:32may seem to us.
08:36None spoke.
08:39The judge sat
08:40half naked
08:41and sweating
08:41for all the night
08:42was cool.
08:44At length,
08:45the ex-priest Tobin
08:46looked up.
08:50Strikes me,
08:51he said,
08:52that I,
08:53the son,
08:53is equal
08:54in the way
08:54of disadvantage.
08:56So,
08:57what is the way
08:57of raising a child?
09:00At a young age,
09:03said the judge,
09:05they should be put
09:06in a pit
09:07with wild dogs.
09:08They should be set
09:10to puzzle out
09:11from their proper clues
09:12the one
09:14of three doors
09:15that does not
09:16harbor wild lions.
09:18They should be made
09:20to run naked
09:20in the desert
09:21until,
09:22hold on,
09:25said Tobin.
09:27The question
09:28was put
09:28in all
09:29earnestness.
09:33And the answer,
09:34said the judge,
09:35if God
09:36meant to interfere
09:37in the degeneracy
09:38of mankind,
09:39would he not
09:40have done so
09:41by now?
09:42Wolves call
09:43themselves man.
09:44What other creature
09:45could?
09:46And is the race
09:46of man
09:47not more
09:47predatious yet?
09:48The way
09:50of the world
09:51is to bloom
09:52and to flower
09:53and die.
09:54But in the affairs
09:55of men
09:56there is no waning,
09:57and the noon
09:58of his expression
09:59signals the onset
10:00of night.
10:01His spirit
10:02is exhausted
10:03at the peak
10:03of its achievement.
10:05His meridian
10:05is at once
10:07his darkening
10:08and the evening
10:09of his day.
10:10He loves games.
10:12Let him play
10:12for stakes.
10:14This,
10:15you see here,
10:16these ruins
10:18wandered at
10:19by tribes
10:21of savages.
10:23Do you not
10:23think this
10:24will be again?
10:26Aye,
10:27and again,
10:29with other people,
10:31with other sons.
10:35The judge
10:36looked about him.
10:38He was sat
10:38before the fire
10:39naked,
10:41safe for his breeches,
10:42and his hands
10:43rested palm
10:44down
10:45upon his knees.
10:47His eyes
10:47were empty
10:48slots.
10:50None
10:50among the company
10:51harbored
10:52any notion
10:53as to what
10:54this attitude
10:55implied.
10:57Yet so like
10:58an icon
10:59was he
10:59in his sitting
11:00that they
11:01grew cautious
11:01and spoke
11:03with circumspection
11:04among
11:06themselves
11:07as if
11:08they would
11:09not awaken
11:10something
11:10that had
11:12better been
11:12left
11:13sleeping.
11:13the following
11:15evening
11:16as they
11:16rode up
11:17onto the
11:18western rim.
11:19They lost
11:20one of the
11:21mules.
11:23It went
11:23skittering off
11:24down the
11:24canyon wall
11:25with the
11:25contents of
11:26the
11:26panniers
11:27exploding
11:28soundlessly
11:29in the
11:30hot
11:31dry air
11:31and it
11:33fell
11:33through
11:33sunlight
11:34and
11:34through
11:34shade
11:35turning in
11:36that lonely
11:36void
11:37until it
11:38fell from sight
11:39into a sink
11:39of cold
11:40blue space
11:41that absolved
11:43it forever
11:43of memory
11:44in the
11:44mind
11:44of any
11:45living
11:45thing
11:45that
11:45was.
11:47Glanton
11:48sat his
11:49horse
11:49and studied
11:51the adamantine
11:52deep
11:52beneath him.
11:55A raven
11:55had set
11:55forth from
11:56the cliffs
11:57far below
11:58to wheel
11:59and croak.
12:02In the
12:02acute light
12:03the sheer
12:03stone wall
12:04were strange
12:05contours
12:06and the
12:08horsemen
12:08on that
12:09promontory
12:09seemed very
12:10small
12:10even to
12:11themselves.
12:13Glanton
12:14looked upward
12:15briefly
12:15as if
12:17there were
12:17anything
12:18to ascertain
12:18in that
12:19perfect
12:19china sky
12:20and then
12:22he chucked
12:23up his
12:23horse
12:23and they
12:25rode on.
12:27Crossing the
12:27high mesas
12:28in the days
12:29to follow
12:29they began
12:29to come
12:30upon
12:30burnt
12:31out pits
12:32in the
12:32ground
12:32where the
12:33Indians
12:33had cooked
12:34mezcal
12:34and they
12:36rode through
12:36strange
12:36forests
12:37of
12:37Magui
12:37the
12:39aloe
12:39or
12:40century
12:40plants
12:41with
12:41immense
12:42flowering
12:43stalks
12:43that rose
12:44forty feet
12:44into the
12:45desert
12:46air.
12:47Each
12:48dawn as
12:48they
12:48saddled
12:49their
12:49horses
12:49they
12:49watched
12:50the
12:50pale
12:50mountains
12:51to the
12:51north
12:51and to
12:53the
12:53west
12:53for
12:54any
12:54trace
12:54of
12:54smoke.
12:56There
12:56was none.
12:58The
12:58scouts
12:58would be
12:59already
12:59gone
13:00riding out
13:01in the
13:01dark
13:02before the
13:02sun
13:02rose
13:03and
13:04they
13:04would
13:04not
13:04return
13:05until
13:05night
13:05reckoning
13:07out the
13:07camp
13:07in that
13:08incoordinate
13:08waste
13:09by
13:10palest
13:10starlight
13:11or in
13:12blackness
13:13absolute
13:13where the
13:15company sat
13:15among the
13:16rocks without
13:16fire or
13:17bread or
13:18camaraderie
13:19any more than
13:21banded apes.
13:22they
13:23crouched
13:24in silence
13:25eating raw
13:26meat
13:26the
13:27Delawares
13:27had killed
13:28on the
13:28plain with
13:28arrows
13:29and they
13:30slept
13:31among
13:31the
13:31bones.
13:33A
13:33lobe-shaped
13:34moon
13:34rose above
13:35the black
13:35shapes
13:36of the
13:36mountains
13:36dimming
13:38out
13:38the
13:38eastern
13:39stars
13:40and along
13:41the
13:41nearby
13:41ridge
13:41of the
13:42white
13:42blooms
13:43of
13:43flowering
13:44yuccas
13:44moved
13:45in the
13:46wind.
13:48And
13:48in the
13:48night
13:48bats
13:50came
13:50from
13:50some
13:51nether
13:51part
13:51of the
13:52world
13:52to
13:53stand
13:53on
13:53leather
13:54wings
13:54like
13:54dark
13:55satanic
13:55hummingbirds
13:56and
13:57feet
13:57at
13:57the
13:58mouths
13:58of
13:58those
13:58flowers.
14:00Farther
14:01along
14:01the
14:01ridge
14:01and
14:02slightly
14:02elevated
14:03on
14:04a
14:04ledge
14:04of
14:04sandstone
14:05squatted
14:06the
14:06judge
14:06pale
14:08and
14:09naked.
14:11He
14:12raised
14:12his
14:12hand
14:13and
14:13the
14:13bats
14:14flared
14:14in
14:14confusion
14:15and
14:16then
14:17he
14:17lowered
14:17it
14:17and
14:18sat
14:18as
14:19before
14:19and
14:20soon
14:21they
14:22were
14:22feeding
14:22again.
14:24Glanton
14:24would
14:25not
14:25turn
14:26back.
14:27His
14:27calculations
14:28concerning
14:28the
14:28enemy
14:29included
14:29every
14:30duplicity.
14:31He
14:31spoke
14:32of
14:32ambushes.
14:34Even
14:34he
14:34in all
14:34his
14:35pride
14:35could
14:35not
14:35have
14:36believed
14:36that
14:37a
14:37company
14:37of
14:37nineteen
14:38men
14:38had
14:39evacuated
14:40an
14:40area
14:41of
14:41ten
14:41thousand
14:42square
14:42miles
14:43of
14:43every
14:43living
14:44human.
14:46Two
14:46days
14:46later
14:47when the
14:47scouts
14:48returned
14:48in the
14:48middle
14:48of the
14:49afternoon
14:49and
14:50reported
14:51finding
14:51the
14:51Apache
14:51villages
14:52abandoned
14:52he
14:53would
14:54not
14:54ride
14:55in.
14:56They
