THE MYSTERIOUS RE

THE MYSTERIOUS RIDER. BY Zane
Grey. New York: Harper & Bros.
Since Bret Harte discovered Western
America for literature, saw the pos
sibilities of it's burning deserts,
limitless plains, and huge, sky
tossed mountain ranges as back
grounds for stories Of the adventur-
Gus, hard-bitten men whom the
country drew with promises of
riches or the lure Of a freedom I'M
trammeled by the conventions of
established communities, many
American writer's, and some foreign
ones, have devoted their talents to
picturing the life Of the West in
that heroic epoch which began in
the 'forties and has lasted, with
certain changes, down to the pres
ent day. The cattle ranch in the
days of the unfenced range and I'M
counted herds typifies to many
Americans the epitome Of freedom.
1t is certain that 1t produced race
OF men who, for physical courage,
self-reliance, and independence of
thought and action, have never
been surpassed. And il there are
scoffers to whom the novelists

overdrawn, let them turn to their

so incredible were many of the
everyday events in the lives of these
men and the women who shared
their fortunes.
Among writer's of the West none
has attained such popularity as
Zane Gregg 1t is healthy sign that
millions of readers in America
N Ia CT have
made "best sellers" of the books of
an author who loves the plains and
mountains for their beauty and
wholesomeness and calm dignity, as
well as he understands the stories to
be made Of the loves and hates and
sacrifices of their men and women.
Zane Grey's ability to tell a stirring
story Is matched by the power and
distinction of his descriptive writ
ing. In critical analyses of his
work, such men as Rupert Hughes
and Richard lie Gallienne have
spoken of both the epic quality of
Grey's work-for theme and treat
ment are likely to be on big, bold
lines-and chat beauty of reality
which only comes of that intimate
love and knowledge of natural
things which have ceased to be con-
sclous, but become part OF the
very soul and body of the OBJ
server"
In his new book, 1.-THE Mysterious
Rider" Zane Grey lives up to the
promise shown in his first big sue
cess, THE Riders OF the Purple
Sage" and, last year. In THE Man
of the Forest" The new story has
the same clean, swift action that
marks all his work, and the same
freshness and wholesomeness of
atmosphere. 1t Is In literary style
that IL surpasses his earlier books,
for with each new story Grey shows
a more finished technique, n finer
understanding and manipulation OF
the form of the novel. This tale of
. the mysterious rider and the equally
mysterious and unknown search to
which he devotes his life runs along

Ashes,and the Stove

Keep the stove clean, inside and
out. All ashes must be kept from
the inside. because 1t will require
more fire to heat an oven when the
heated air has to go through a
layer OF ashes. Keep the fiues OF
the stove clean, otherwise the
drafts are hindered. stopped up
shafts produce smaller amounts OF
heat, so the inclination is to open
all the dahnpers. which means burn
ing more fuel than is at all neces-
sary and getting little return.
In the fire CRATE start with a
clean bed of coal each day, and
systematically remove the ashes,
but do not keep the fire constantly
disturbed either by poking Il or
shaking the Are bed. IL waste food

JUST LIKE FAITH IN RELIGION.


Faith in marriage is the solution
to why it should be a success. 1t Is
like medicine. You have faith in IT
or in your religion. You must have
faith in each other, trust each 9TH
err, and don't be afraid to admit
when you're at fault, no matter
what question may arise.
Practice the habit of pointing
out each others faults with care
fully weighed words. Talk over
your affairs in a business manner
and be mutually concerned in all.
your business for the cause of most
lost faith Is the wife or husband
working one for the other instead
of together. Be interested in each
others affairs and comment where
a word will cheer a tired mind or
body. 1t will make success where
failure seemed certain.

SHE FLIRTs.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going with a girl
over six months and have learned
to care a great deal for her.
While waiting to take In a show
downtown one evening we had TO
stand in the lobby over fftsen min
utes. In front of us stood a cake
eater, who turned around and
started flirting with my young lady
friend. She, too. started nirtinG
with him, which embarrassed me
very much. This same thing hap
pened once before, and as she has
told me 1 was very sensitive,
thought II best to overlook IL.
Now. Miss Fairfax, IL she sincere
ly cares for me. as she claims TO.
do you think she would act like
this? CLAUDE.
The young lady is just teasing
you. although she is not using the
best method. Flirting of this ma
ture is very cheap. When you arc
not around. she probably would not
think of doing such a thing. She
no doubt believes there is safety In
your presence.

silly high-heeled 9'oes too much.
although / will say that the college
girl Is abandoning these for the
more sensible form.
THE one-piece dress OF today also
Is a big advance. for II enables mod
ern girls to wear sensible under

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My cousin and 1 chum together
a great deal. and 1 am sure no
two girls have better time.
There Is one thing that worries
me, and 1t is this: Ny aunt will
not let my cousin speak to a boy.
and my cousin meets them on the
street, telling her mother she is
going to see a girl friend or 10
church. My mother let's me have
boys whenever 1 wish. l can go
and come when I please. and I
think 1t hurts my cousin to know
this. Please help me to let my
cousin have boys, as she is pop
ular with those she meets and I
want her mother to see where she
is wrong. We are both nearly
eighteen years old-still going to
high school. A COUSINS PLEA.
Better have your mother talk to
her mother to show her the error
of her ways. and persuade your
cousin to discontinue meeting boys
on the street. It's too cheap.
