Excerpt from The Gold Girl A rattle of loose stones set her heart thumping wildly and caused her to peer down the back trail where a horseman was slowly ascending the slope. The man sat loosely in his saddle with the easy grace of the slack rein rider. A roll-brim Stetson with its crown boxed into a peak was pushed slightly back upon his head, and his legs were encased to the thighs in battered leather chaps whose lacings were studded with silver chanchas as large as trade dollars. A coiled rope hung from a strap upon the right side of his saddle, while a' leather - covered jug was swung upon the opposite side by a thong looped over the horn. All this the girl took in at a glance as the rangy buckskin picked his way easily up the slope. She noted, also, the white butt-plates Of the revolver that protruded from its leather holster. Her first impulse was to mount and fly, but the futility of the attempt was apparent. If the man followed she could hardly hope to elude him upon a horse that was far from fresh, and even if she did it would be only to plunge deeper into the hills - become more hopelessly lost. Aunt Rebecca's words desperate charac ter seemed suddenly to assume significance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
