NEW FALL FICTION, 1909


THE HOMESTEADERS

By KATE and VIRGIL D. BOYLES

Authors of "Langford of the 3 Bars."


WHEN Jack Carroll brought his sister out to the free-range cattle country and took up a homestead, their early return to the East was freely predicted by the hostile cattle-men whose interest they were thwarting. When Jack fell foul of Frank LaDue and his gang of cattle rustlers he found, however, one cattle-man on his side, and the aid of Tom Burlington and of the Indian girl who hated LaDue were little enough in the desperate fight that this brave found Easterner and his courageous sister made upon the would-be despoilers of their home. The story of this fight to a finish which Kate and Virgil D. Boyles tell in the "The Homesteaders" is in every respect a worthy successor to their former successful story, "Landford of the 3 Bars."

CONCERNING "LANGFORD OF THE 3 BARS"

"A tale full of life and action, some of the altitudes of which are thrilling. None of the characters are overdrawn. The love motif is well managed. convincing and well knit together, the novel should take its place with the best fiction founded on life in the wild and breezy West."—Chicago Evening Post.
