Nothing that Mr. Garland has written
Is more spirited or intense than this fine
story whose hero is big and brave fel-

moral destruction by reason OF merry
passionate nature which he has inherited
from his father who Is minister or the
gospel, the cloth only partly concealing
his own devilish temper Harold Excel
becomes an outlaw by common repute
his notoriety for acts which he never
committed, or IL he did is not wholly re-
sponsible for being one of the things he
has to contend with In his struggle
against his own intemperate nature
which is finally rendered triumphant
through the medium Of a tender girls
affection. IL IL a theme which readers of
Mr.. Garland's books may easily imagine
in advance would give that author full
play Ii only remains TO be said that
nothing he has heretofore produced Is
quite 80 vigorous or goes deeper into the
human heart. Moreover It is a rattling
good story OF life and adventure amid
scenes where life Is bound TO be parti-
cularly adventurous namely on the noun
tain. ranch and plain. With the cowboys

for an outlet for his superabundant spirit
and fortune, away from the scenes of
early disgrace. serves now as cowboy.

Nouchette Carey
The Carey novels. which now amount

owed their charm to their uuietness of
deep problems or seriously complicated

loss of charm for the reader, but on
the contrary. the new book will proba-
bly, be received with even more approval
over a larger circle Of readers than any
OF it's predecessors. IL In the story of
