Excerpt from Nemesis Tan fogs of a November afternoon were thickening with the chill of approaching evening. There were ominous murmurs among the pines, and the almost naked bo.ughs of the oak and hickory shivered and sighed, as they let down, now and then, a stray leaf, to decay peacefully with the companions of its summer revels, or be trampled into the deep mire of the public road, which formed scarcely a break in the forest. The Wheel-rats had cut into the roots, and vehicles had grazed the trunks of the giant trees that locked arms across the highway. Yet it was no newly-opened track.
