by honest men, on the other by outlaws.

when she shoots Kells, the leader--and nurses him to health
again. Here enters another romance--when Joan, disguised as
an outlaw, observes Jim, in the throes of dissipation. A
gold strike, a thrilling robbery--gambling and gun play
carry you along breathlessly.

THE LAST OF THE GREAT SCOUTS,
By Helen Cody Wetmore and Zane Grey
The life story of Colonel William F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill,"
as told by his sister and Zane Grey. It begins with his
boyhood in Iowa and his first encounter with an Indian. We
see "Bill" as a pony express rider, then near Fort Sumter
as Chief of the Scouts, and later engaged in the most
dangerous Indian campaigns. There is also a very
interesting account of the travels of "The Wild West" Show.
No character in public life makes a stronger appeal to the
imagination of America than "Buffalo Bill," whose daring
and bravery made him famous.
