A NOVEL OF THE REAL WEST

"=ME--SMITH="

By CAROLINE LOCKHART With five illustrations by Gayle Hoskins

12mo. Cloth, $1.20 net.

Miss Lockhart is a true daughter of the West, her father being a large ranch-owner and she has had much experience in the saddle and among the people who figure in her novel.

"Smith" is one type of Western "Bad Man," an unusually powerful and appealing character who grips and holds the reader through all his deeds, whether good or bad.

It is a story with red blood in it. There is the cry of the coyote, the deadly thirst for revenge as it exists in the wronged Indian toward the white man, the thrill of the gaming table, and the gentleness of pure, true love. To the very end the tense dramatism of the tale is maintained without relaxation.

"Gripping, vigorous story."--Chicago Record-Herald.

"This is a real novel, a big novel."--Indianapolis News.

"Not since the publication of 'The Virginian' has so powerful a cowboy story been told."--Philadelphia Public Ledger.

"A remarkable book in its strength of portrayal and its directness of development. It cannot be read without being remembered."--The World To-Day.
