TWO WYOMING GIRLS. By Mrs. Carrie L. Marshall. Illustrated by Ida Waugh. Two girls, thrown upon their own resources, are obliged to “prove up” their homestead claim. This would be no very serious matter were it not for the persecution of an unscrupulous neighbor, who wishes to appropriate the property to his own use. The girls endure many privations, have a number of thrilling adventures, but finally secure their claim and are generally well rewarded for their courage and perseverance.
THE GIRL RANCHERS. By Mrs. Carrie L. Marshall. Illustrated by Ida Waugh. A story of life on a sheep ranch in Montana. The dangers and difficulties incident to such a life are vividly pictured, and the interest in the story is enhanced by the fact that the ranch is managed almost entirely by two young girls. By their energy and pluck, coupled with courage, kindness, and unselfishness, they succeed in disarming the animosity of the neighboring cattle ranchers, and their enterprise eventually results successfully.
