Day after day passed, and no sign of life was visible upon the plain save the deer bounding over the sere herbage, or the wolf loping stealthily against the wind which bore the scent of his prey. A rising haze began to envelope the landscape, betokening the approach of the Indian summer, "The melancholy days had come, The saddest of the year,"
An autumn wind was blowing, and long plumes of dust whisked up out of the curving street and swept over the ill-kept yards, past the cabins, and toward the sere fields and chromatic woods.

Well, old Tom ain't any help to me. You look strong. Mebbe I could hire you." Phillips shook his head. "I don't want work just now," said he. "I'm going to Dyea in the morning."
As she pushed open the door a sighing draught swept past her and seemed to draw her inward. It shook the sere bundle.
