Mary Underhill makes a mess Of her

kind TO her when 2 terrible illness de-
prives her Of that voice.
Peter SOutherden. the young lover.
hopes always until word comes OF her

Peters brother Donald has no such sad
life story. He wins the belle of the
county. Norah Conough. for his bride.
Sorsh has a disagreeable experience to
endure. but comes through It all right
and her life is all rosy. The pathetic.
almost tragic part OF the tale comes
when Mary UnderhiH comes home from
England on a visit and meets Peter.
She realizes. when too late, all the hap
piness she has lost but after one inter-
view they resist temptation and part
forever. Her husband is a fine type Of
man and he never knows all that was
in Nary's heart. The book is not half
bad IN its outline. but is written poorly.
IT is, however. filed with local color
and one gets a very clear idea OF life

Miss Moorhouse, who, by the way, al

lie begins to be bit suspicious of
the good faith of his company, but has
no way of backing his suspicious.
One of the most exciting episodes
in the book is description of the
several opposing factions playing at
cross purposes. The cowboys working
for the colonel blow UP portion of
the ditch. Ballard becomes enraged
and rides over to Denver and brings
back a sheriff's posse with warrants to
arrest the lawless men. A third party
which is friendly to neither the colo
mel nor to Ballard is waiting for this
to happen and when the men are ar
rested they ride in and attempt TO
steal all the colonel's cattle, which. of
course. are unprotected. The story of
how Ballard foils these plans is so
graphically told that one jumps when
the Maxim gun begins TO shoot among
the rocks
The climax of the story is very we'll

proved TO their own satisfaction the
truth Of the theories which have been
advanced by such well known scient-
