Mexican border and here she lives life that is abnormal and strange bringing criticism of all sorts fast upon her.
 She meets a splendid young cowboy and all but invites him to make love to her.
 This he does and she snatches him from a girl of his own kind and thereby again brings sorrow.
 The hero Is a dandy nice fellow-hand- some clever and courageous and the readers sympathy is all with him from start to finish.
 The girl herself Is mpossible-unlovable and unwomanly, justifying her queer actions while in the West, by the fact that the climate has "a hypnotic effect upon her while ssrhe Full of the Moon" casts over her a perpetual sway.
 The story gives very interesting ac- count of the Mexican situation-particu- larly the attitude of these people toward Americans and the author has written in a dashing, clever, way that is quite ap- pealing even though the heroine is dis approved of. and not at all to our liking.
