Three days later Smith stood
upon a wooded hillside gazing
down upon the light shining from
the window of a lonely cabin.
He had Travelled far. A few
more days would see him safely
into turbulent Mexico. But he
was in need of supplies. Should
he chance the fact that perhaps
the dweller of theacabin had not
