with environment and circumstances,
romantic love, social barriers, derring-
do. lawlessness, all in the golden region
of Cripple Creek. A "highgrader," it
should be explained, is a man who
buys stolen ore from the miners. No
stigma Of theft attaches TO the trans
action; such ore is considered a just
pcrCuisite Of q dangerous calling, a
rouCh-aud- ready adjustment Of the
claim Of labor 20 a greater share Of tho
riches which il produces. The mine
owners, knowing ;he difficulties Of
legally proving ownership, usually at
tempt 10 regain possession by extra
LEGAL and. if necessary. lawless pro-
ceedings. So much for the adventure,
the lawlessnass and the derring-do. The
HighCrader. notwithstanding his code,
which is that Of the place, is a fine,
manly fellow, a typical Westerner; the
social barrier enters into the story
with the love, in the person Of an Irish
girl. a member Of the party Of English
owners of the mine on a tour Of lnspec-
ton. The romance is genuine; there
is plenty of plot and fighting, and the
villains are as villanous, each IN his
own way, as they should be in order
to contrast properly with the hero and
his friends. The story has go; its
characters are something more than
puppets.
