520 _aTwo-way trail by Clay Perry is a short frontier romance and adventure story written in the early 20th century. Set against the Klondike gold-rush North, it traces a campfire legend that tests courage, love, and identity along the Yukon, challenging the notion that the trail is only one-way for women. A reporter, Gresham, travels the Yukon with the old sourdough Shorty Freem and a silent companion, Hartwell. By the fire, Shorty recalls Dawson days: a desperate young woman, fearing the gambler “Chesty” Clark, has herself auctioned as a winter housekeeper; the carefree “Red Rover” sells his dog team to win the bid, and the pair disappear. Hartwell then “reconstructs” the truth: the woman had fled a predatory stepfather; she and the Red Rover wintered at a remote claim, quarreled, and he believed she died when her tracks ended at a river break. In fact, she reached Dawson, learned Clark had been shot for cheating, recovered her money, bought Shorty’s team, and returned to the Red Rover’s strike—the future Ashpit Mine—where they reunited. They later marry and leave the country by going upriver and over the pass, proving the trail can run both ways. In a quiet final twist, Hartwell reveals himself, in all but name, as the Red Rover, a truth Shorty catches by the eyes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
