{Back of the Harper Name p r /,104 Years of Good Books = —_ THE MYSTERIOUS RIDER By Zane Grey If you are not a Zane Grey fan, and want to know the reason for his tre- mendous following, read this book. Then you will know why Zane Grey’s last novel outsold all others in 1920. “The Mysterious Rider” is written with his ever-increasing literary charm. It is full of intense situations. The characters and their environ- ments are painted with a masterly hand. “Hell Bent’? Wade, the mysterious rider, has been spoken of as a sort of present-day ‘Leather Stocking.”’ Around Wade, and largely because of his influence, is enacted one of the most fascinating dramas ever penned. And Columbine, the lovable heroine is a clean-cut American girl—a true product of the Western plains and mountains. Face to face with ele- mental human emotions, torn be- tween a true love and a sense of duty based on gratitude, she stands on the threshold of womanhood. And out from behind a dense cloud of tragedy, Columbine finally emerges into the full radiance of love. This is a great story. You will say so, too, after you havejread it.
