Raine, the author of Wyoming, Ridgway of Montana, Bucky O'Connor, and A Texas Ranger begins this western tale: The midnight sun had set, but in a crotch between snow-peaks it had kindled a vast caldron from which rose a mist of jewels, garnet and turquoise, topaz and amethyst and opal, all swimming in a sea of molten gold. The glow of it still clung to the face of the broad Yukon, as a flush does to the soft, wrinkled cheek of a girl just roused from deep sleep.
