The WINNING OF
BARBARA WORTH.
~*~~~~~~~~~" -
A Review by E. w. Reynolds.

Ihe Winning of Barbara Worth"
by Harold Bell Wright. is another
star in the authors crown of success
and the brightest of them all. In this
present-day story of desert life and
the national reclamation work we
nave as clean and wholesome a book
as man ever wrote; a story of big
things, strong people and high ideals.
He has delineated the passions. the
iongings, the motives, the loves and
hatreds of men and women with added
skill and he has also with finer power
analyzed human emotions and pene-
trated more keenly the depths of the
human Soul
His characters are so life-like that
you wonder if after all they are not
real people. For the land of "The
Hollow of Gods Hand" is easy of ac-
cess; and many are the readers, when
walking the streets of Republic, who
viii instinctively try to identify Bar
bara or her father; or 1t may be the
civil engineer, the surveyor, or the old
plainsman you imagine you will meet
race to face, until you remember that
they are all in the story and that you
never will.
Barbara Worth, of course, you will
love-you can't help it. With her
soft, sweet voice of the Southland, big
brown eyes and wealth of brown hair,
she is an inspiration.
Mr.. Wright's civil engineers are
real, meeting obstacles that are DIFF
f1culties, and surmounting insurmount-
able barriers, just as they do in the
activities of real life. And who is
there that does not find interest in
I the problems and life-work of our civil
engineers? What character in our
national progress is more completely
surrounded by the glamour of ro-
nance?
But there are other characters in
The Winning of Barbara Worth that
will claim their full share of your
emotions and the quick beats of your
heart; not least of which are Abe Lee
and Texas Joe and the Irish boss. And
dear Pablo-ever faithful Pablo, who
loved the Senorita and received her
smiles and kind words with homage
and alteration
The plot, through which there runs
an intense love interest, is mighty in
it's conception and is carried to sat
isfactory close with the smoothness
of running water. It is one of big
incidents and rapid action, and bears
The Hattiesburg news., 1911-09-05

a message as broad as humanity it
self-The Ministry of Capital. Mr..
Wright is very forceful in his clear
analysis and makes us see the differ
ence between man seeking to make
Capital serve the race and man serv-
ing Capital, in each case driven by
the same er-passion-Good Busi-
ness. And in it all we feel the up
lifting power of his words kndling
the fires of ambition, arousing the
will to do, and adding fresh courage
to our hopes and aspirations.

THANKSGIVING.

September, 1855. The English settlers
in this country naturally adopted the
custom Of their native land, and at an
early period in colonial history
Thanksgiving became quite common.
