latest novel Is a superb summary OF
the issues of a most, eveptful period
in American history. Part 6rst OF the
book deals with the warning for and

his narrative into the mouth of q Boy,

frontier cabin which 'reeked of corn

The Boy had in his surroundings but
one thing to give to him any hint or
suggestion OF any other mode Of life
than this of the cabin on the border
land. That one thing n silk gown his
mother had worn. The silk garment
hung on a peg in the cabin exciting
strange tmaginfngs in the mind of
the boy. David's father was n man OF

the sturdy three were rescued by Colo

event the book becomes more the his
