    About this ebook

    This fictional story follows Ethan, a trespasser who is about to get much more than he bargained for. To the bole of an old willow which dropped its leaves in autumn upon the white sand-bar was nailed a weather-gray board, on which faded letters stated: PRIVATE PROPERTY! NO TRESPASSING! Ethan observed the warning meditatively. In view of his later course of action let us credit him with that hesitation. At length, with a faint smile on his face, he turned the nose of the canoe toward the smaller stream and his back to the sign.
