The Twins of Table Mountain

The Twins of Table Mountain is another collection of longer tales, including the title story -- "The Twins of Table Mountain" -- as well as "An Heiress of Red Dog," "The Great Deadwood Mystery," "A Legend of Sammtstadt," and "Views from a German Spion." The Twins of Table Mountain are Rand and Ruth, sharing a cabin and working a mine. They are twins, not easily told apart, and a strain on the relationship occurs because of it. Ruth has been seeing Mornie, a local girl, the "daughter of a shyster and a drunk." Mornie has mistaken Rand for Ruth, and gone on about their meetings and their plans. Ruth is fond of Mornie, but Rand disapproves. Will brotherhood or love triumph?
