Excerpt from The Two Barbaras: A Novel Flying down the rugged mountain-path, her cheeks flaming, her hair streaming, her great red-brown eyes flashing! "I won't! I won't! I won't!" screamed Barbara Pomeroy, and the barren mountain-peaks echoed back her fierce cry; and the light wind caught it up and carried it across the deep, dark lake to the black row of pines and silver-leaved aspens; and the pines stood transfixed, while the aspens shivered. A grand creature was this mountain maid; bounteous in outline, statuesque in limb; her coloring superb; her motions strong and graceful as those of any bounding deer.
