IN the rear of the long store, at a round table under a hanging-lamp with a tin shade, four young men sat playing poker. The floor of that portion of the room was raised several feet higher than that of the front, and between the two short flights of steps was the inclining door leading to the cellar, which was damp and dark and used only for the storage of salt, syrup, sugar, hardware, and general rubbish.

Autorenporträt
William Nathaniel Harben, also known as Will N. Harben, was an American writer born on July 5, 1858, in Dalton, Georgia. He was primarily known for his stories that depicted the lives of people from the mountain regions of Northern Georgia, capturing the nuances of their culture, struggles, and personal experiences. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Harben's works often explored themes of race, class, and societal change, reflecting the complexities of the time. His writing offered rich, detailed portrayals of Southern life, making a notable contribution to American literature. Harben's works were well-received in his time, although his recognition has since faded somewhat. He passed away on August 7, 1919, in New York City at the age of 61. Despite his relatively short life, Harben's literary legacy remains tied to his portrayal of the Southern Appalachian experience, providing valuable insight into the people and culture of that era. His focus on local characters and social issues has earned him a place in the broader conversation about regional American literature.
