The Dude Wrangler
By Caroline Lockhart
Author of “Me, Smith,” “The Man From the Bitter Roots,” Etc.
The upbringing that Wallie MacPherson had from the aunt whose heir he was to be had not exactly fitted him to bite nails in two. He was a favorite with the elderly ladies at that exclusive summer hotel, the Colonial. But Helene was far from elderly—and she was from Wyoming. She didn't think much of young fellows who didn't pay their own way. When his own aunt intimated that he wouldn't know how to do that same thing, something came to life in Wallie. The young man went West—to get himself made into a regular fellow, and he sure succeeded. “Pinkey” Fripp, “of Wyomin',” helped some. You will enjoy Pinkey to the limit. His name didn't fit at all. No one knows the West which she writes of with such humor better than Miss Lockhart. You will feel like thanking her for this story.
