GUTHRIE's STORY IN TIE
 POPULAR Is \ C0RKER

Which do you think is the more i'm portant, heredity or environment? To put it in plainer English, which do you think matters more in the life of child-the people it was born of, or the people who brought it up? Would the son of low-down criminals, caught as a founding and brought up by good people, turn out we'll or revert to his original hereditary streak, or would he turn out a Christian gentleman? Would the child of highborn nobles, Kidnapped from his home and brought up in slum, show anything of his ancestral stuff in spite of his environ ment? These are interesting ques- tions. Many have striven to answer them. Now Captain Ralph Guthrie, drawing from his unique experiences in Alaska, gives his answer. It is a long novel, complete, in the present issue of Popular now on sale in Sew ard. Outside of the interesting ques- tion it involves it is rattling adven ture story of the good outdoors. It is called Breed Of the North" and is worth the price, in good stirring read ing. of any magazine.
