Excerpt from Miss. Moccasins Two men faced each other aggressively across the table in a little adobe high up in the hills.

The sun was already sinking, and a last depart ing ray flashed for a space through the open door and touched the narrow brown face of the younger man, gleaming on his white teeth, his full lips so exceedingly red, and his glancing, restless eyes the eyes of a trapped creature at bay. His slender brown fingers rolled and tapped the cigarette on which the fire was long since dead. His last attempt at bravado against the dogged resolve of the other man had been an utter fail ure; - and he reverted to a side issue with a sneer ing flash of simulated rage.
