pany, Phila deIphia.
This is an American tale describing
the adventures of the best type of a
western American, told in the breezy,
easy, outdoor style acquired by the
author, in her free cowboy life on the
western ranges. Miss Lockhart is
stamped as one in a thousand among
her contemporary workers by her fas-
cinating ease in writing, her slxillful
mastery of plot detail and her ability
to flash, within a few pages, her adj
ventures tcemilg with life and danger.
From the first scene in that log cabin
in the heart of the Bitter Roots, when
Bruce Burt meets the murderous on
slaught of his insane partner, to the
last, a most dramatic one when the
hero takes in his arms the girl for
whom he has staked his all, fighting
and shaving, We are held close to the

This is a fascinating tale of an I'M
usual love affair carried on by an I'M
usual but altogether bewitching lover
in a small summer resort in New Eng
land Allan Shorthand, gentleman,
a tramp, a poet, and withal the happi-
est of happy men is the hero; Bery1
Vernon, as pretty as the ripple of her
name is the heroine. Two more
charming personalities are seldom
found within the covers of a book 1t
is hard to make comparisons so the
reviewer predicts that the readers of
the gentler sex, unless perchance they
are already claimed. will fall deeply in
love with Allan. and the men (of this
he is sure, being one himself) will dis
cover Beryl to be the lady of their
dreams.
