THE LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS
Colored frontispiece by W. Herbert Dunton.

Most of the action of this story takes place near the turbulent Mexican border of the present day.  A New York society girl buys a ranch which becomes the center of frontier warfare.  Her loyal cowboys defend her property from bandits, and her superintendent rescues her when she is captured by them.  A surprising climax brings the story to a delightful close.

DESERT GOLD
Illustrated by Douglas Duer.

Another fascinating story of the Mexican border.  Two men, lost in the desert, discover gold when, overcome by weakness, they can go no farther.  The rest of the story describes the recent uprising along the border, and ends with the finding of the gold which the two prospectors had willed to the girl who is the story’s heroine.

Illustrated with photograph reproductions.
