his themes are free from pettiness

that of writing. His success with

and effect and the sense Of beauty
he infuses 'rto scenes and characters
as contrasts to the elemental emo
tions and primal instincts that are
frequently dominant note in his
work. He knows men. He knows
their strength and their weaknesses.
and he knows the silent desolation
OF the Western desert which he has
immortalizei in romance. His feel.
ing for beauty and his appreciation
OF nature are easily understood. Mr.
Wright's mother was a French won.

rare but brief intimacy. for she died
when he was but ten years of age
The next decade was a struggle vi

family to locate him. The police

The driver of a delivery wagon
for Mr.. Jones seems to have been
the last one to have seen him. About
/ o'clock Mr.. Jones told him to go
and feed the horses and he drove to
the stable TO do so. When he re-
turned TO the store a little more than
half an hour later the doors of the
building were open, but Mr.. Jones
was nowhere TO be seen.
The family is almost distracted
over his disappearance and is total,
ly unable to account for the affair
Whether he has been foully dealt
with. or met with some accident. Is.
of course. Inkonwn. Both Of them
are regarded as possibilities, althoagh
a more plausible theory seems to be
that he wandered away while a vic
