Inthe April SCRIBNER 
Begins a New Serial 
The Heart of the Hills 
by John Fox, Jr. 
Author of “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine” 
and “The Little Shepherd of KingdomCome.” 
This is a story of vivid contrasts. The people of the 
Mountains are brought in contact with the people of the 
Blue Grass. The main interest of the plot revolves about 
a boy and girl of the hills and a boy and girl of the plains. 
It is their development from crude childhood to wiser 
maturity that enchains the reader- They are real peo¬ 
ple, as appealing and lovable as Chad or June of Fox’s 
previous stories. There are dramatic action, humor, 
sentiment and pathos, and something of political tur¬ 
moil. It is a story near at hand in its people and interest 
—a picture of modern Kentucky.

(while still perfectly free-running) to eliminate all play 
and mechanical rattle- An increased volume of work, at 
least effort, is assured by the light, smooth touch and 
snappy action which docs not tire the operator's Ungers.

fail to impress you. for the work you want of a type¬ 
writer it is without an equal.
