Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Far Triumph He had climbed, it seemed to him, a long time, when the path led out into a space less steep and more clear of trees, and directly above him towered the mass of rock he was seeking. It jutted far out from the hillside, its front as clean cut as a slab of marble. At its summit were several ledges and irregular projections; it was on one of these ledges that he must have seen the bit of red. It was either gone now, or hidden from below by some projection, and Rutledge hastened to circle the rock, trying to find a path that might bring him up behind it. It was steep climbing, but by catching at under growth, and lifting himself over boulders, he succeeded in reaching higher ground. He found himself on a shelf in the hillside that was almost on a level with the flat t0p of the rock. Rutledge walked out on it, then stood a few moments, panting and gathering breath to go on. His eagerness had no eyes for the view spread out beneath him, but he was conscious of the stinging pain in his hand. He had cut it during that impetu ous climb. He paused now only long enough to knot his handkerchief about it, then hurried on, making his way to the edge of the rock, passing around detached fragments that looked as if it needed only a thrust to cast them roaring and crashing down the hillside.
