Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 30: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part II., May, 1903, to October, 1903
And there appeared, silent as ghosts, a herd of fallow deer on the edge of the deep-shadowed woods: splendid young bucks with horns still in velvet, soft and large; timid does watch ing warily, one eye on the little long-limbed fawns. And the sun, filtering through the green leaves, touched here and there the tawny, spot ted coats, turning them to gold. And presently two stags, proud of their newly grown antlers, stepped out from the herd into the sunlight, and approached with queer stiff-legged little steps, now holding the head high in royal pose, then lowering it with pointed muzzle and ears thrown forward, and always ready to spring away on the instant to the safety of the Shadows and the company of the herd.
