is il fiction. born of a momentary pow
erful handclasp of a western rancher's
daughter The story of Wayland Nor
cross is fiction also. But the McFar-
lane ranch. the mill and the lonely
ranger stations are closely drawn pic
lures of realities. Although the stage
of my comedy is Colorado. l have not
held to any one locality. The scene is
composite.
1t was my intention originally to
write much longer and more impor-
tant book concerning Supervisor Nc
Farlane. but this is merely the very
slender story of Il young western girl
who. being desired of three strong
men. bestows her love on ii tourist
whose weakness is at once her allure
ment and her care The administration
problem, the sociologic theme. which
was to have made the novel worth
while, got lost in some way on the
low trail and never caught up with
the lovers. I'm sorry. but SO it was.

PUBLIC OPINION


 ITO the Editor of The Farmer
 An article was published in the Bridgeport Telegram relative to q. strike by the hot carriers of the city. The person furnishing the informa- tion to the morning paper, concern ing the organization of the 'hod car riers which is on strike, took occa- sion@to rnaI1cfousIy use the columns Of the Telegram to make an attack on bod carriers of this city.

During that time, when any differences have arisen between the members of it and their employ CTS, no trouble has been caa1sed in f1le city and there has been no breach of the peace. The 1ast@etr1ke of this body was nine years ago this May and was conducted in peaceful and orderly manner.

The wound of Sykes is quite a Aerious one, but. we hope. he will soon be around. again. This Is another one of those warnings, Of so frequent occurrence, against the careless handling of pis- tols.
