Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hunt on Snow Shoes "Hark!" A low, wailing sound came faintly through the forest of oaks and pines, and borne on the wintry air, reached the ears of the two brothers who, on this moonlight night many years ago, were gliding swiftly over the gleaming surface of the Kennebec, on their ringing skates, which had already carried them full ten miles from their home. It was Clarence Landon, the elder, who had uttered the exclamation that arrested the laughter and conversation of himself and Sydney. On the instant they ceased striking out, and the rasping whir of the keen-edged steel grew softer and still softer, until the two came to a stand, side by side. Still they spoke not, but stood looking and listening. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
