The sun rose slowly over the great bulk of the Carpathian mountains
lying along the horizon, weird giant shapes in the early morning
mist. It was still very quiet in the village. A cock crowed here
and there, and swallows flew chirping close to the ground, darting
swiftly about preparing for their higher flight. Janci the
shepherd, apparently the only human being already up, stood beside
the brook at the point where the old bridge spans the streamlet,
still turbulent from the mountain floods. Janci was cutting willows
to make his Margit a new basket. Once the shepherd raised his head
from his work, for he thought he heard a loud laugh somewhere in
the near distance. But all seemed silent and he turned back to his
willows. The beauty of the landscape about him was much too
familiar a thing that he should have felt or seen its charm. The
violet hue of the distant woods, the red gleaming of the
heather-strewn moor, with its patches of swamp from which the slow
mist arose, the pretty little village with its handsome old church
and attractive rectory - Janci had known it so long that he never
stopped to realise how very charming, in its gentle melancholy, it
all was. ...] Reprint of the detective novel starring Joseph
Muller, Secret Service detective of the Imperial Austrian police.
