THE NORTH PLATTE SEMT-WERKLY TRiniTNrO t v. . . mill! i miniinimi iiimiiini 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 i By a Master of Western Fiction E De sert old By Zane Grey Author of "The Lone Star Rangcr'"The U.P.Trail," "The Heritage of the Desert," Etc. One of the most stirring and at the same time con' vincing and pleasing novels of the West is "Desert Gold." It is founded mainly on a re cent border uprising, and in its descriptions of bat tles with Mexicans, the operations of raiders, of prospectors and others braving the perils of the desert, proves that por tions of the West can still yield adventures as exciting as anything that happened in the old days; that there still is a land of gold, the development of which is attended by dan' gers and hardships suffi' cient to tax the courage of the most venturesome mortals. Along with the intense, dramatic action is a strong play of human hearts in which love and loyalty are ranged against ambittonhatred.revenge.

Whether or not the inci dents and human participants were taken from life, it io a certainty that such things have happened, and such people have figured in the history of the Southwest, particularly that portion forming the borderland of Mexico. The hardihood and courage of settlers and rangers, the cruelty of bandits and guerrillas; the craft, mysticism and guile of Yaqui and Papago Indians are elements in a wonderfully stirring tale. Added to these are the lure of gold and a tender love story, while pervading it all is the fascination of the ever mysterious desert.
