Incited by Buck Bodine, the Basques

built by Dick Acklin, owner of the
Double A ranch, Acklin leads a.lynch-
ing party to Bodine's ranch but the
sheriff makes a timely arrival, They

Basque girl, with murder. Blaze Kit:

"
No;�that >;, Kid!
He was only 22 when they elected him,
He was a white lad, I'll tell you."
Blaze's voice lost its drawl. "There
wasn't a ivrortg bone in his keds, Tile
was right all through, I breaight hind
up that• way,Anti because he ' WAS,
square they went out to get •him.
When you've been father and reethera
and brother and pal to a kid like that,.
you'll know what it means to lose
him"
Blaze had been feeing Land. He
turned now and attired at Bodine,
"1 guess you've heard of the Mooney
gang; or the 'money' gang as we got
to•oall them. They were running wild
in Wyonlini. Banks,, po,1t4#A4es,
trains—they We'en't misstrle a thing.
But they kept out of Laramie! And
the word was passed that they .were
afraid of the Kid, Mooney couldn't
etaaad that! On the eleventh of No-
vember, two years ago, he and his
gang, stole up to the restaurant where
the boy and two of his men were eat-
ing their supper, and murdered them;
shot them in the back. They didn't
have a chance. That's eight, ain't it,

"What?" Land cried.
"You heard mel" Blaze whipped out.
"He's the mtinl Bodine is an alias.
His entire gang is in this room right
now, The law forgot or got sick and
gave up; butI didn't, The Kid died
in my arms, and 'I promised to get
Mooney if it took me the rest of my
life." '
The excitement of the present mo
meat dwarfed anything that had gone
before, Land saw that he had been
helped to fame beyond his wildest
dreams.
"Why, they're wanted for a dozen
mail and train robberies," he cried,
"If you boys will give me a hand we'll
put the bracelets on them."

Buck shook his head. What a frak

of the gang, but,'' aside from the shoot-
ing of the Kid, had never participated
in the actual crimes they had commit-

."I1 THE LAND Or COCICAIGNE,".
by Heinrich Mann;'American•News.
This novel was first published at.
the beginning of the century in Ger-
many. Because' it attacked the dom-
inating
orsisating moneyed classes of the tines
the book was suppressed and, the
author covered with contumely frons
high places. For this and other rea-
sons its translation into English was
delayed and only recently has it beer
brought to the notice of the .English
reading public. As a socialogicsl mir-
ror the book is a monument. As a•
novel, purely, and 'simply, it Any. i,,
faults. The magnitude of the c.
however, reduces tec'.m:calimperttn-
tion to'a place of little importance.
The author has concern i .himself
with the progress of a young intellec-
tual who sets out to win fame as a
poet by storming citadels of wealth
rather than, by seeking to write excel-
lent verse. His chars- wins for him
a 'secure place in The Land of Cock-
aigne, or, The Lazy Man's Paradise..
There he exists on he bounty of his
patrons, millionaires and their, wives
with a pretended interest in the arts.
For this bounty the poet returns flat-
tery. Conceit leads to his downfall.
The very beneficence of his patrons
leads hint to think he is indispensible
to their happiness. He transgresses
too far and finds himself kicked into
the gutter and the laughing stock of
the world of fashion.
The book presents a brilliant, al-
most blinding, picture of social condi-
tions in Germany at a time when that
country' was just beginning to reap
the fruits of a half century of indite -
trial and political wisdom. Manch
sounds. every_ note of the social scale,
portraying as .he does the down -
.trodden:' laborer and the vitiated
aristocrat and all the types'thatceme
between. Hie treatment of the aristo-.
crate of commerce is almost vicious.
He fights with a bludgeon and .with a
rapier and wields both with devaet-
ating effect. It is not hard to under-
stand why the insulted Junkers caused
the suppression of the work.

What would you do if a baby boy

Not such an impossible situation..
It has happened to thousands of peo-

Here we have it again, but in no.

brought up by a clergyman and his
