Rustling Outfit

NEVADA--Zane Grey--Harpers ($2.00). Jim Lacy, wild hombre alias "Nevada," chased wild horses through an earlier volume, Forlorn River, sacrificed love and happiness for his "pard," and disappeared. The present story follows him to the wicked mining town where he had made his name notorious for gambling and drinking. To the surprise of gamblers and dancing girls, Jim now avoided trouble and laughed off insults. He did not explain that Hettie Ide, spirited California beauty, had since come into his life.

The new leaf turned over in honor of Hettie was quickly spattered with the blood of that worst of offenders, one who had struck a woman. And when later Lacy pitched himself into the free-for-all cattle wars of wide-open Arizona, his deserving victims fell thick and fast. Hettie's family, innocent immigrants to Arizona, had engaged a slick cattle thief as foreman of their ranch, and their cattle losses were climbing to the tens of thousands when Lacy, posed as a rustler himself, smartly unearthed the plots of rustling outfits, and plugged the treacherous foreman full of justice. Then Lacy found that Hettie held for him "that strange, glorious thing--woman's love."
