SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.-Tom Shelby, a rancher,
rides in to the frontier town of Ponca
looking for a good time after a long spell
Of hard work and loneliness on the
ranch. Instead, he runs into a funeral
that of Dad Calkins, a retired army man
of whom little is known. A girl, still in
her teens, survives Calkins.
CHAPTER II-McCarthy, a saloon
keeper and Poncas leading citizen, de-
cides that the girl. now alone in the
world, should marry. Shelby starts
hunt for eligible husbands and the min
lister goes to confer with the girl.
CHAPTER III.-She agrees to pick &
husband from a score of men lined up in
her home. To his CONSERVATION, she Sc
1ects Shelby, who had gone along merely
as a spectator. He declines the honor.
Indignant, the girl dismisSes the assem-
blage. Later, Shelby goes back to make
an explanation. She receives him good
heturedly.
She looked from him to the row Of
breathless men facing her, impatient
IL, her bosom rising and falling tu-
Ihultously.
"And I've got to choose which one
I'd raoher marryT
'well, yes, that is the idea crudely
expressed. Not that you are COM
PEELED in any way; only We feel it
highly desirable; that-well, perhaps
may say, it is the will Of God that
yot1 make some such choice"
Her eyes wandered up and down
the shrinking line. resting calmly on
face after face, II she felt any hum0r
in the situation, there was no express
