guerrille warfare had raided your home
and murdered your father, and then,
hanging his body 10 tree, had in
solently pinned a card to it bearing
the outlaws name! Would not you
likely do as Virgil brace did-swear
a solemn VOW to find that outlaw, hang
him as high as Haman, and decorate
his corpse with your own card? Then,
while you were setting about to exc
cute that VOW, suppose you met fasci-
mating girl with whom you fell in love
and had the satisfaction of finding
your affection sincerely reciprocated
Then surprising it developed that the
girl were the daughter of the man
upon whom you had sworn to wreak
vengeance. What would you do? Is
it not satisfactory web upon which
to weave an intensely interesting story
of romance. especially when the incl
dents occurred in the South following
the Civil war, the young man a north
ern officer, the girl beautiful, fiery
southerner, and all the other charac-
tiers and episodes of the South and
that turbulent period which marked
the days OF reconstruction Would 1t
not be more absorbing If, as in this
case, the author were one of the
greatest of American novelists? You
viii find this stirring romance worked
out In the most charming way in
'sPeriwinkle House." by Opie Read.
No man in the United States has
written as many stories as Opie Read,
and no author has had larger num-
Der of readers. He was born in a
small town in Tennessee in 1852. fol-
lowed newspaper work for awhile in
Kentucky. and then moved to Little
Rock, Ark, where he edited the Ar
kansas Gazette from 1878 to 1881. He
was next on the staff of the Cleveland
tO-) Leader and then returned to Lit
tsrs Iass i.,@a-.lrcrv ne ESTABLISHED the
Arkansaw Traveller, humorous paper
which attracted the attention of the
entire English-speaking world Mr..
Read furnished most of the material
that went into the publication He
conducted it from 1888 to 1891 and then
moved to Chicago, where he has since
resided, engaged in literary work
1t is doubtful if Opie Read himself
could recall the titles of all the books
he has written, without referring to a
list. One or more of them is in nearly
every home where fiction is INDUCED
in throughout the land. They form
conspicuous part of the fiction section
of every public library, and are car
ried In stock by every enterprising
book dealer. During late years he has
been less prolific, due to the fact that
he has not had the leisure for writing,
for he has become one of the most
sought after lecturers, and his time is
practically filled with Chautauqua. Ly-
ceum and special platform engage
ments. In this work he has covered
practically the entire nation and has
visited some sections several times,
for there always is a demand for
his return.

Out upon the sheen of the mighty
river the pine-torch flames fell in
ripping streams, and the full moon.
peeping over the tall timber, made
mouths at herself in the wrinkled
mirror of flood. On the steamboat
Leona the negro deck-hands were
chanting the buoyant anthem of the
June rise. In the gilt, enameled sa-
loon, sweet-stringed waltz, centuries
removed from the meIodic below of
the black bucks below, swelled out
upon a breeze that seemed eager to
mingle with it, while sentiment smiled
and gallantry bowed in the studied
graces of floating ballroom on the
Mississippi. All ceremony was precise
with the inherited observance of pre-
cedent, save when some hair-greased
and less refined dandy of the woods,
having fingered too long at the bar,
let liquor fly to his heels to cut re-
bellious pigeon-wing.

sort of happy Incidence; but society
held many thrilling charm, and with
its libraries from Europe, intellectual
life INDUCED the luxury Of ceremoni-
GUS romanticism. This atmosphere
was stu breathed on the big Missis-
sippi steamboats,, for fantasies which
render poetic the condition of us all
linger on the water after having been
driven from the land.
In the ballroom of the Leona the
dress of the men and the women was
variegated with the odd ends of diff

STORY

A new American mystery story of
woman detective written by Varick
Vanardy, one of the greatest writer's
of detective stories begins this week
in the Bozeman Courier. "The Lady
of the Night Wind" is a thrilling ac-
count Of Katherine Harvard, beautiful
wealthy, with an estate on Long Is
land 1t opens with a house-party at
this country estate, where a startling
series of events develop and unravel.
Katherine is the wife of Bingham
Harvard, who once bore the alias,
"The Night Wind" and she becomes

ing mystery. Because of a former ex-
perience as a police headquarters de-
t~ective, where she was known as
Lady Kate Of the Police" she brings
about the solution of the mystery by
brilliant detective work.
Conrad Belknap, with a long line
of criminal work, attempts to force
her into assisting him to steal a great
diamond belonging to one of the
guest.
He does this by threatening to false
ly accuse of crime her brother, Rod
erick, hitherto believed to be dead.
Roberta Cervantes, who had divor-
ced herself from Belknap, is compel
led to be his accomplice through fear
that Belknap will kill Roderick if she
repudiates him and admits her love
for Katherine's brother. By skillful
maneuvering of Kathedine, assisted
by her husband and members of the
secret service, Belknap is finally foil
ed.
1t is a plot ladened with suspense,
"a plot much as one loves to follow
through, something that holds the
reader anxious to know what the next
move will be. 1t unfolds in a rapid
series of events that will be highly
entertaining. This story has beer

TWO PER CENT D%RINKARLE.

Perils besetting the imbiber of
bootleg whiskey were forcibly demon
strated today by the statement of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
who told the Star that only 2 per cent
of the liquor analysed by chemists
of the prohibition forces is found to be
drinkabIe. The other SO per cent is
poison.
"The poison contents of bootleg
whiskey cannot be too strongly en-
phasized," Mr. Haynes said today.
Continually we find whiskey brought
in after raids which would be deadly
If taken in sufficient quantities"
In Washington there is a prohibi-
ton department storehouse. in which
there are hundreds of gallons Of
vahisksy. bottled as genuine whiskey
should be, but which r. only bootleg
preparations and which contain wood
