“There is not a philosophical sentence in the book, not a single appeal to religion, it is simply a gorgeous fairy tale of human life with a diabolical hero, worked out thru every imaginable irony of circumstance, and considered within these limitations, it is almost beyond criticism in style, construction and fascination.”

A reissue of two good western stories. In the former a New York society girl is influenced by the sky, the air and the plains, to be true to herself and marry for love rather than for a title. The second tells of the devotion of a little school teacher of the plains to her cowboy brother, whose trickery and dishonesty are run to cover by the man she loves.
