THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE.
Illustrated by F.C. Yohn.

The "lonesome pine" from which the
story takes its name was a tall tree that,
stood in solitary splendor on a mountain
top. The fame of the pine lured a young
engineer through Kentucky to catch the
trail, and when he finally climbed to its
shelter he found not only the pine but the
_foot-prints_of_a_girl._?? And the girl proved
to be lovely, piquant, and the trail of
these girlish foot-prints led the young
engineer a madder chase than "the trail
of the lonesome pine."

THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME.
Illustrated by F.C. Yohn.

This is a story of Kentucky, in a settlement known as
"Kingdom Come." It is a life rude, semi-barbarous; but natural
and honest, from which often springs the flower of civilization.

"Chad," the "little shepherd" did not know who he was nor
whence he came -- he had just wandered from door to door since
early childhood, seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who
gladly fathered and mothered this waif about whom there was
such a mystery -- a charming waif, by the way, who could play
the banjo better that anyone else in the mountains.

A KNIGHT OF THE CUMBERLAND.
Illustrated by F.C. Yohn.

The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland,
the lair of moonshiner and feudsman. The knight is a
moonshiner's son, and the heroine a beautiful girl perversely
christened "The Blight." Two impetuous young Southerners' fall
under the spell of "The Blight's" charms and she learns what
a large part jealousy and pistols have in the love making of the
mountaineers.

Included in this volume is "Hell fer-Sartain" and other
stories, some of Mr. Fox's most entertaining Cumberland valley
narratives.
