Of westerner. He was. in fact, from
Colorado. where he began his active
career by engaging in mining. Scant
success attended his efforts i'm this di-

with the logged determination that

There was something about Smith
that caused men. and women also. for
that matter. to take to him on sight.
The unbounded good nature. big heart
edness and unselfshness beaming in
his blue eyes and In his whimsical
smile were written in every line of his
clean shaven face. Another thing that
made him remarked by all who came
IN contact with him was his absolute
imperturbability. In all his thirty
seven years Of existence he never had
been known to get move on" not
even when a premature blast in a
mine had sent the diggers heller skel-

he had returned and organized the

the others instinctively to look to him
for direction. Nor was his speech
more hurried than were his move

his words came IN a quiet. even, dis

quickly as most men, and a good deal
quicker than some whose nerves were
highly strung and with whom rapidity

Of This vital piece of realism.
In its present form il Is NOT less

are not less potent in the serial
1t is the same keen exposition
Of human motives put into the

There is no waste Of material,
