  The man turned and walked inside and Mosely watched him go, hating his guts.

  A small man makes for a light body, the mud was slick and the youngster had no trouble dragging the old man into the pines.

It looked like the place had been built with a base of rough cut sandstone topped by logs. Over the decades the logs had rotted and most of the blocks had loosened and fallen, unless Apaches had attacked the cabin and deliberately pulled them down.
