THRILLING CAREER
OF TEXAS OUTLAW
[Reprintedl

Buck Duane became an outlaw
through force of heredity and circum-
stances. His family was held in high
respect; in young Duane himself there
was not a single bad or lawless in
stinct, except the instinct to fight.
Buck inherited this temperament, this
almost uncontrollably violent and
swift reaction under insult or threat.
As was inevitable, he was bullied by
a vicious rufian, met his man, killed
him. and fed TO the Wild country bor-
dering the Rio Grande. an outlaw.
With his courage, his clearness of
mind, his clear-cut decisiveness and
efficiency, the character of Buck
Duane captivates your imagination;
and, although no glamour is thrown
over homicide, ii is remarkable how
persistently ONES sympathy follows
him through all his adventures. in
which there is not one really u%njusti-
fable killing. With possibly a single
exception, Duane is the quickest man
ION the draw" who ever lived in the
West.
Zane Grey's new serial story, "The
Lone Star Ranger" copyrighted by
Harper & Brothers, will begin in The
Silver State on Saturday. November
II. 1t is the masterpiece Of the mas
ter living writer of the West-a man

is strong, and the ending is all right.
1t is rough and thrilling. but it is not
immoral or immoral. 1t tells much
about a class of men little known in
their true light, but now honored, the
Texas Rangers. The atmosphere OF
Nevada in the early '70s naturally
creeps into the story to some extent.
The Silver State offers a three
months subscription, which will con-
tain the entire story, and more, for
81. The serial will make n hun
dred or more columns of this W
paper-a cent a column for a copy
righted novel, to say nothing Of the
other parts of The Silver State. In
making this special subscription you
assume no obligation to take the news
paper for a longer time, if you do not
want it. The special coupon headed

column, contains a stop order" to
take effect when the paid-for subscrip-
ton expires. Send in your dollar to-

This is an easy way of making a
Christmas present. Your friends on
the ranch, or in the East, or any
where else would feel that your at
tention was being bestowed on them
during the entire run of the story.

STORY OF A TEXAS OUTLAW
1.-THE Lone Star Ranger" an Intense
ly Interesting Narrative of Life
and Adventure in the Southwest.

OF the picturesque and turbulent
life along the Mexican border back in
the seventies, Zane Grey writes enter
tainingly in his latest work of fiction
"The Lone Star Ranger" which we
have secured as our next serial. Book
reviewers almost in unison have de-
clared it the best story of it's kind
ever written. This is what some of
them say:
"aThe Lone Star Ranger is a glow
ing tale of a lurid period in the his
tory of our great Southwest New
York World.
at is all capital stuff of its kind,
the sort of a story that is likely to
make one forget his everyday con-
Germs and worries. We are in darkest
Texas in the days of rustlers, bad
men, and rangers."-N. Y. Tribune.
"There is a breeze and buoyancy in
the narrative, and the authors I'M
studied %colloquial style greatly en-
hances the illusion of reality."-Phila-
delphia Press.
at is a story of such intense inter-
est that the reader is swept along
from page to page until he fairly lives
through each desperate adventure in
which Buck participates. 1t is one
of the most fascinating of all Zane
Grey's ales."-Boston Globe.
"Let nobody say that chivalry and
knizhthOod are dead in America. Here
is a stirring novel of wild border days
of Texas in the early seventies, depict
ing principally a conflict between out
laws and Texas Rangers-a novel in
which the two qualities named are WV
idly portrayed."-POrtland O~regonian.
There's a punch in this yarn that
makes it one of Grey's best."-Port-
land Telegram.
mfr. Grey is known as a writer of
western stories of %invigOrating quail
ity. The latest is the most robust
of them all. A throbbing story of
action; it is a good romance, too.
The Lone Star Ranger will
be a popular tale.'-Boston Herald.
You will regret reading this
story. We are especially pleased at
the opportunity of running it at this
particular time when interest in ev-
erything associated with Texas and
the Mexican border country is at high
tide. The first installment will appear
soon. Watch for it.
