horse collar and scrubbed it until he nearly wore
out the leather. Then he brought it to the cabin, put it on the floor
and set the Little Feller inside it.
They sent me a snap-shot of the event, but it is not very good. The film
was under-exposed, and nothing was to be seen of the Little Feller
except a hazy spot which I judged was a hand, holding a black object I
guessed was the ridgy, rubber rattle with the whistle gone out of the
end,--down the Little Feller's throat, they are afraid. And there was
his smile, and a glimpse of his eyes.
Aren't you envious as sin, and glad they're so happy?

NOVELS BY B.M. BOWER
* * * * *
=THE RANCH AT THE WOLVERINE=
A ringing tale full of exhilarating cowboy atmosphere, abundantly
and absorbingly illustrating the outstanding feature of that
alluring ranch life that is fast vanishing.--_Chicago Tribune_.
=JEAN OF THE LAZY A=
A spirited novel of ranch life in which the fascinating heroine poses
for film pictures that she may make money necessary to prove her father
innocent of a crime for which he has been convicted.
It possesses all the popular ingredients--a quick-action plot,
color and picturesqueness aplenty, and an unflagging interest--to
be found in Bower's earlier successes.--_Philadelphia Public
Ledger_.
=THE PHANTOM HERD=
Another western tale in which the Happy Family become real "movie"
actors.
There has been so much truck written in the last few years about
motion pictures, that it is a positive relief to find a book by an
author who knows exactly what to talk about in an entertaining
manner with a knowledge of actual conditions as they
exist.--_Boston Post_.
=THE HERITAGE OF THE SIOUX=
A Flying U story in which the Happy Family get mixed up in a robbery
faked for film purposes.
Altogether a rattling story, that is better in conception and
expression than the conventional thriller on account of its touches
of real humanity in characterization.--_Philadelphia Public
Ledger_.
=RIM O' THE WORLD=
An engrossing tale of a ranch-feud between "gun-fighters" in Idaho.
=THE LOOKOUT MAN=
A tale of action, excitement and love, full of the charm of the great
outdoors, in which the story of the life at a Forest Reserve Station on
top of a California mountain is vividly portrayed.
