Is a free aad expansive style which
seems to breathe the very atmosphere
OF country big in its possibilities
and its people.
Necessarily the story is melOdramatie.
II could not picture the actual cOndi-

ana women whose blood teens with red
eorpuseies could be the pioneers in a
new civilization in such q land, and IL
IS OF such for the most part that the
story treats.
As a background for an engrossing
