CONTENTS
LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
At that instant the bear came to life . . . . Frontispiece
I plunged downward, struggling frantically
I sat down by the fiddler and dozed
I glimpsed his flaming eyes and wide-open, fang-filled mouth
Sheep and rock dropped straight toward me
Never before had the ring of an ax echoed in Silent Valley
"See all fools ain't dead yit," he observed
The memory of that race for life is still vividly terrifying
Every fall I watched Mr. and Mrs. Peg at their repairs
They turned tail and came racing back, straight toward me
Out of the dust of years, we dug the history of a buried past
