It is a tale so outstandingly different, so virile, so potent with truth and life and love and con- flict,sodeeply moving,so powerfully compelling that by unanimous decision of the judges it was awarded the first prize in the mammoth $50,000 true story contest recently conducted by True Story Magazine in which upwards of fifty thousand manuscripts were received from all over the world. A Tale of the Cumberland Mountains It is a story of the city and of the wilderness. Of a gently reared girl accustomed to the refinement and culture of genteel city life set abruptly down amid the Kentucky lumber camps, there to be swept off her feet, blinded to the realities of life, by forces over which she had no control. Of a community of rough-hewn mountain folk rent asunder by thecoming among them of a gitl whose sweet dignity and reserve, whose stylish mode of dress, everything about her so different from the gitls they knew, aroused in the hearts of the river men and lumber jacks a raging storm of conflict. A tale of rushing, log-jammed streams. Of prim- itive passions surging in the breasts of men who feared neither God, nor man, nor devil. Who constantly courted violent death as a part of each day’s work. A tale of tears and blood and tragedy, of hate and love and jealousy. Of a titanic battle for a bewildered woman's heart. 'While over all hung the dread menace of the double-bitted ax, one blade of which was red: It is entitled “Stronger Than Dea The .&h;hor A World War Veteran The Author Says: “Smm;u Than Death” is an account experience that befell a when she, a gu-l of culture and refinement, u:eepted e position as teacher in a mission school deep in the fastnesses of the Cumberland Mountains. “I have written in the first person, first because the rules of the contest require that all stories submitted be in the first person, and second because I have set it down so nearly the way she herself told it to me that I feel justified in presenting it as coming from her own lips.” X SiHinhr . Weritten by Mr. H. M. Sutherland, world war veteran and resident of a Virginia town inthefoot-hillsof theCumberland Mountains, it isthe tragic drama that befell one of his dearest friends. Margery, about whom the story revolves, did not feel that she could do the story justice. The events were all too recent—so closethat her perspective waslost. But she told it all to Mr. Sutherland. And he in turn, using rare discrimination out of his sympathy and understanding, has set down whatis withoutdoubt themost powerful true m ever written. Not a pretty story. Pow sames mrely are. But a deeply stagwan epic tale told just asitwashved. Easily the outstanding story of all the fifty thuuaamd received in the eatest true story contest ever conducted. f‘wouldbeashameindeed if you were not to read it.

Is it that I imust sacrifice my happiness in atonement for the crime that I have done?” Tall, difident with strangers, slow of speech, this “Boss” of the lumbermen was alsobig and handsome. And one of themost fearless, most daring men that ever swung an ax or rode the logs in the boiling current of the treacherous river. His word was law among his men. But could he make it carry weight with 2 woman—and such a woman as Margery?
