How I missed this story when first posted, I'll never know but can easily imagine. In any case, remedied the oversight today.
Typical of me, I've read Figures of Earth and easily see the link, but don't recall this story specifically in the chapters noted above. I find it is a nice choice for an introduction to Cabell's fiction!

There is of course a different story there right now -- The Candid Footprint -- which was later worked into The Silver Stallion.
