As though a voice from behind bade him turn, Lee swung sharply and saw what seemed a cloud of moonlight gathered into a moving form. It glided over a hilltop, disappeared in the wash of shade that filled a gully, and slipped into view again over a closer rise of ground. It was Moonshine.
If he had never heard of the stallion before, the name would have burst from his lips as it did now in a shout. Moonshine stopped with a suddenness that sent his mane tumbling forward in a flurry of silver, and stood fast, a creature of light.
He neighed like a challenge, or a gloating over the dead man, then whirled and fled. Oh, the swing and lightness of that stridelike a wave in the free ocean! Perhaps the soft surface sand buried the noise of hooves. Like a phantom the wild horse drifted over the hill and faded into the shadow below.

Editor's Note
Frederick Faust's original title for the story that follows was "The Quest of Lee Garrison." It was sent early in 1923 to Frank E. Blackwell, editor of Street & Smith's Western Story Magazine, which was Faust's major magazine market in the 1920s. Blackwell liked the story but was dissatisfied with the way it ended. Earlier, in 1922, Faust had managed to circumvent a similar editorial objection to concluding a story on an ironic note, rather than with a more conventional "happy ending," by submitting the installments of what became King Charlie (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1925) by George Owen Baxter as four individual short novels. Thus the ironic conclusion of King Charlie, contained in the final short novel, "The Bill for Banditry," which ran in Western Story Magazine in the issue for 6/24/22 as a separate and discrete story, could be dropped when Street & Smith's book-publishing company issued the American book version as King Charlie's Riders (Chelsea House, 1925) by David Manning. Only the British publisher was willing at the time to publish these combined short novels as the author had written them and thus assure the integrity of Faust's storythe first and American edition of the full story would not appear until King Charlie (Leisure Books, 1997) by Max Brand, fully seventy-five years after Faust had written it. In the case of "The Quest of Lee Garrison," Frank Blackwell's objection was even stronger, and Faust modified the way in which the story ended to suit this editor's whim for its appearance as a serial in six installments under the title "Galloping Danger'' in
