THE BAD MAN
CHAPTER I
WHEREIN IT IS SHOWN THAT A YOUNG AMERICAN HAD THE COURAGE TO COME INTO A
NEW COUNTRY; HOW FATE PLAYED AGAINST HIM, AND A NEIGHBOR LOOKED LONGINGLY
AT HIS RANCH
Looking back now, after so many months of struggle and foreboding, he
wondered how he had ever had the high courage to come to this strange
country. Had he been a few years older he would not have started forth--he
was sure of that now. But the flame of youth was in him, the sure sense
that he could conquer where others had miserably failed; and, like all
virile young Americans, he had love of adventure, and zest for the unknown
was in his blood. The glamour of Arizona lured him; the color of these
great hills and mountains he had come to love captivated him from the
first.
