Dad Kinney was not worrying
any about himself or his finances
as he sat alone in his little cabin
high above the camp with the
music of the dance hall coming
up to him like a far-away melody.
The old man was in a retrospective
mood, and for hours he sat alone
with life's memories. The fire
burned so low in the rude hearth
that nothing except a bed Of
darkening Goals was left; the red
glow in his pipe turned to white
ashes, the full moon riding high
above the mountain range began
TO send a shaft OF yellow light
athwart the cabin door. The
thoughts of the old man sitting
with his hands clasped back
of his neck while he stared into
the fireplace harked back to
days of which he never spoke.

cracked Then he rose to his
feet, stretched and yawned again.
