Story of Adventure
and Daring Exploit

The astonishing query as to
whether such q thing as courage
really exists at all Is raised by Edgar
Beecher Bronson in his new novel,
1.-THE Vanguard" which is nothing
else than a series Of the most cour-
ageous exploits on the part Of q
nervy Westerner. Mr.. Bronson would
be said by the world to have proved
his own courage about as completely
as any one in the world, by long bal
loon trips, ranchlng in the West in
the days when it was necessary to
face bad men and bad steers, to ford
most without water; by big game
hunting in Africa and exploring in
South America. Yet he declares that
even with so cool a man as the hero
of 1.-THE Vanguard courage is simply
q matter of habit. Among the many
proofs he likes to deduce is his ex-
perience with a Texan whom Mr..
Bronson himself once saw kill two
men in a gun-to-gun street fight, and
who had five notches on his six
shooter. But when Mr.. Bronson took
him to the top of q New York sky
scraper for the view, the Texan was
so frightened that he got down on
his hands and knees, shaking, and
UcBbtu W DC ldhCtl uoWItt DGtduSG he
was so frightened.
THE average woman who drives
an automobile through the city
streets runs bigger risks every day
than / did when hunting African big
game, yet she thinks nothing of it.
Courage is knowledge, experience;
cowardice, ignorance. Familiarity
with any new danger will bring not
precisely contempt of 1t, but certainly
more or less Indifference to it," says
Mr.. Bronson.
