Life on the Links

It is one thing to write about any
special subject in a manner that will
prove interesting to fellow fans" X
is quite another matter to write about
it in a way that will delight and en-
tertain the-man to whom 1t is a sealed
book The reader to whom golf may be
a sealed hbook as a sport will find 1t
wide open and welcoming as fictional
pastime under the genia. tutelage of
Charles Il. Van Loan. No knowledge
of the sport is necessary in order to
appreciate and enjoy the nine short
stories which he has woven about adven-
lures with the little corrugated ball In
Fore !"
The predicaments and difficulties In
which veteran golfers find themselves
in these tales will be relished by all who
play. while others will find them equally
amusing as stories. The typical golf
ing figures will also be readily recog-
nized by the natives of the links.
Mr.. Van Loan has the faculty of see
ing the humorous possibilities of famil-
lar situations. and he makes his vision
contagious. The stories are fresh, varied
and original

FortIrigIt Western Adventure

A colorful. fortnight tale of a mans
valiant struggle against great odds and
entrenched injustice is told against a
background of the great. free, open
spaces of the far West by Palmer Bend
in THE Shifting of the Rock" The
story Is crowded with action, and the
hero's material affairs are inseparably
bound up with romantic interest that
reaches its climax simultaneously with
his final success in his brave battle.
David Kent seeks his fortune in Ore
gon through the influence of hardy and
manly missionary bishop. Immediately
after his arrival in little frontier
town, the young man learns of the
chicanery by which a fake irrigation
company is robbing poor homeseekers,
and he soon finds himself interested in
the townsfok and working with his new
neighhors to secure justice for them.
| He becomes the unwilling antagonist or
the father of the eastern girl with whom
he was in love. and when the girl her
| self arrives on the scene affairs reach
a crisis Bitter experiences are In store
! for the hero, but eventually he dis
covers the splendid personal qualities
Of a simple. rough -and-ready girl oi
the far West and he wins success In
his battle against triCkery as well.
The story is racy of the far West
and the authors style is breezy and
easy. even though he is guilty of occa
sional solecisms such as "enthused."
