DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Harum-Scarum Joe Joe leaned upon the low fence before Granny Duffy's cabin door, and once more explained his rea sons for going forth. He was tired of Powell's Valley and the monotony of its quiet life. There were rumors of a railway soon to be built to Lone Mountain. The Hickey kinfolk, his father's people, lived there. By joining them before the incoming of the railway, he should grow up with the country, he declared. Delia had at last consented to his scheme; this was a decisive argument with Joe. The lonely little cabin before which Joe stood was just in the shadow of the great ridge which forms the division wall between the pretty valleys of the Clinch and Powell's rivers. Joe, as he gazed at the cabin, his grandmother, and the familiar scene, felt that he should miss the Old place and the Old woman when far away. He hated to go with his grandmother's objections quite unsubdued, and he lingered in the hope that she might soften and bless him on his way.
