Girl Alone Part 40

A thrilling, red-blooded tale of a picturesque character against the background of h.e.l.l-roaring towns where men drank, quarreled, killed and went about their business; of primeval pa.s.sions ruling the hearts of men who blazed the path of an Empire; a true story of the early days of the Southwest.

Gordon Lillie, as p.a.w.nee Bill, the hero of countless men and boys of this and past generations, stood in the doorway of the restaurant in Caldwell one Sat.u.r.day afternoon. Before him were cattle thieves, horse thieves, Indians, desperadoes, women with hard eyes and painted cheeks.

He stood on the threshold of a career that was to be one of the most colorful and stirring in the annals of the glamorous Southwest.

More than a novel because far stranger than fiction, THE BLAZING HORIZON is an authentic account of the opening of Oklahoma, a swift and vivid recital of the struggle of thousands to gain a niche in the blazing horizon.

Starting in the eighties, it carries one on a wave of breathless excitement through the great rush of the Boomers, 50,000 strong, who stormed their way into the new territory; through days of hards.h.i.+ps and adventure; through hair-raising episodes of courage and chivalry; through all the pains of the birth of a new country.

Against this picturesque background, Ernest Lynn here pictures a delightful romance, written after months of patient first-hand research tracing the career of p.a.w.nee Bill and the birth of Oklahoma.

JEALOUS WIVES

By Ernest Lynn

Author of "The Blazing Horizon," "The Yellow Stub"

Should there be a single standard of morals for men and women? Should a wife convict a husband on circ.u.mstantial evidence? Is a woman's intuition always right?

In JEALOUS WIVES is one married couple who preach the single standard from the angle that each may partic.i.p.ate in personal freedom without objection from the other. But, once put in practice, the agreement ends in disaster.

Then there are two main characters who believe in the single standard; that each shall live only for the other. And that marriage succeeds only after a near-disaster when the husband makes only a timid attempt at flirtation.

A vivid, fast story of the present day.
