Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cow Puncher The shadows of the spruce-trees fell north eastward, pointing long, cool fingers across belts of undulating prairie or leaning lazily against the brown foot-hills. Like an incandescent globe the afternoon sun hung in the bowl of a cloudless heaven, filmy with heat, but the hot rays were met by the high altitude of the ranch country and lost their force like a blow half struck. And among the spruce - trees it was cool and green, and clear blue water rippled over beds of shining gravel.
