Publication of Fascinating Tale of the

The Argus will shortly begin the pub
LEGATION in serial form of ''Hesper.
a story of the Rockies from the pen of
Hamlin Garland. Hamlin Garland has
earned a reputation for realism which
few authors enjoy. He knows thorough
ly the phases of American life depicted
in his stories and gives his readers pic
lures of the great west as reliable as
they are vivid. 'Hesper" is the story
of a New York society woman who
went to Colorado with her invalid
brother. Most of the action takes
place in a mining camp where strike
reaches such proportions as TO require
the Intervention of United States
troops. Hesper meets the hero, a
young man who had been expelled
from West Point. on a ranch where he
is cooking. He falls in love with her.
furnishing the only element needed to
keep the interest at fever heat. 1t is
great story and one which can be sent

sell was wounded fatally, his brother
Frank was shot through the shoulder,

Russell was drinking. and, after quar-
rel, Crow drew his revolver, starting
