Excerpt from The Trail of the Lonesome Pine In her wonder over him, she almost forgot her self, forgot to wonder where he was going and why he was coming into those lonely hills until, as his horse turned a bend of the trail, she saw hanging from the other side of the saddle something that looked like a gun. He was a raider - that man so, cautiously and swiftly then, she pushed herself back from the edge of the cliff, sprang to her feet, dashed past the big tree and, winged with fear, sped down the mountain - leaving in a spot of sun light at the base Of the pine the print of one bare foot in the black earth.
