[2] NOTE BY THE PUBLISHERS.--It was Josiah Flynt's intention to add to
his autobiography some concluding chapters of a philosophic and
sociological nature. Among other subjects, he intended to prove that
there is no such thing as honor among thieves, and to show conclusively
that there is no real happiness in unlawful existence.
The call to the road which goes, but does not return, came to him,
however, in January, 1907, when his life came abruptly to an end.
To Mr. Bannister Merwin, his relative and friend, we are indebted for
the following account of Flynt's movements during the last few years of
his life.
Interesting Fiction
_Bar-20_
_By CLARENCE E. MULFORD_
_Illustrated, cloth, decorative. Price, $1.50._
The doings of the famous outfit of Bar-20, an old-time ranch in Arizona,

Poverty Row and Poker Flat." _Cleveland Plain Dealer:_ "After the style
of Mr. Wister."
_The Orphan_
_Illustrated, cloth, decorative. Price, $1.50._
This stirring tale deals with the same characters, time, and country as

Indiana. It is for the man who loves the earth under his foot, the
splash of the black bass, the scent of the pine wood, and the hum of
earth close to his ear.

love of nature, and its pathos and tender sentiment place it in the
category of heart romances."

sixties. Love, romance and adventure are paramount in this wonderful
