His pictures of the city folk are poot ly drawn, but his pictures of the wild life of the mountaineers and the homes are vivid, and these make the book one worth having.

For three genera tions there has been but one son to perpetuate the family name, and this fact coupled with Stanton's own lack of robustness, makes him wish to marry a strong, vigorous woman who will bear him sons His business takes him into the Ozark Mountains of Mis- souri, where in backwoods cabin he finds Hester Wallace and wins her for his wife.
