books. Hearts Desire" by Emerson
Hough is a story of western life in the
early days whose scenes are laid in little
mining town of that name. Mr.. Hough
has hunted and Travelled all over the
west from the Mississippi to the Rockies
and his descriptions are of places such
as he has seen and lived in. The in
habitants of Hearts Desire are men-gener-
Gus. open-hearted miners and cowboys
from different classes of socety-such as
have been found in mining camps before.
The advent OF women into this mans town
even though they are members Of a
stranded" family, causes quite a commo-
ton. How certain other things-incuding
love- the law and eventually the railroads,
came to Hearts Desire is told with
naturalness and breath of open-air that
adds much to the romance and interest OF
the story. Those who have read Mr.
Hough's The Mississippi Bubble or THE

terested in this latest story. F. B. Masters

him. Nor will it be found lacking in en-
tertainment, but on the contrary the reader
will find his better nature stirred, keen
heartfelt interest in this story of thor
oughly good man.
