"Bud" Thurston learns many a lesson while following "the lure of the dim trails" but the hardest, and probably the most welcome, is that of love.
_THE LONESOME TRAIL_ "Weary" Davidson leaves the ranch for Portland, where conventional city life palls on him.

A little branch of sage brush, pungent with the atmosphere of the prairie, and the recollection of a pair of large brown eyes soon compel his return.

A wholesome love story.
_THE LONG SHADOW_ A vigorous Western story, sparkling with the free, outdoor, life of a mountain ranch.

Its scenes shift rapidly and its actors play the game of life fearlessly and like men.

It is a fine love story from start to finish.
