and circumstances are against him. His mouth is
sealed; he cannot, as a gentleman, utter the words
that would clear him. A dramatic, romantic tale of
intense interest.
CLAIM NUMBER ONE
Dr. Warren Slavens drew claim number one, which
entitled him to first choice of rich lands on an
Indian reservation in Wyoming. It meant a fortune; but
before he established his ownership he had a hard
battle with crooks and politicians.
THE DUKE OF CHIMNEY BUTTE
When Jerry Lambert, “the Duke,” attempts to safeguard
the cattle ranch of Vesta Philbrook from thieving
neighbors, his work is appallingly handicapped because
of Grace Kerr, one of the chief agitators, and a
deadly enemy of Vesta's. A stirring tale of brave
deeds, gun-play and a love that shines above all.
THE FLOCKMASTER OF POISON CREEK
John Mackenzie trod the trail from Jasper to the great
sheep country where fortunes were being made by the
flock-masters. Shepherding was not a peaceful pursuit
in those bygone days. Adventure met him at every
turn—there is a girl of course—men fight their best
fights for a woman—it is an epic of the sheeplands.
THE LAND OF LAST CHANCE
Jim Timberlake and Capt. David Scott waited with
restless thousands on the Oklahoma line for the signal
to dash across the border. How the city of Victory
arose overnight on the plains, how people savagely
defended their claims against the “sooners;” how good
men and bad played politics, makes a strong story of
growth and American initiative.
TRAIL'S END
Ascalon was the end of the trail for thirsty cowboys
who gave vent to their pent-up feelings without
restraint. Calvin Morgan was not concerned with its
wickedness until Seth Craddock's malevolence directed
itself against him. He did not emerge from the
maelstrom until he had obliterated every vestige of
lawlessness, and assured himself of the safety of a
certain dark-eyed girl.
