by which defeat Is brought home to
the forceful man who loves her. is an
attractive personality. The whole

scribed as an American girls romance
on coffee plantation. In this story
Mary Bordman Sheldon has composed
very lively narrative In which the
characters are for the most part agree
able people TO meet, some or them
with a taste OF adventure, but all OF
them still kindly and also interesting.
The coffee plantation was down In
South America where the heroine is
girl who has travelled very much and
had interesting experiences In the
coffee country Of South America and
has travelled up into the Sierra Nevada
mountains with more or less OF ro'
nance trailing her all the way. The
man of the story, Kent winthrop. is a
fine fellow and he ought to win his

and loyalty devoted. The author has
q very excellent idea OF how a love
