Jeanne Bowman gives her an- swer in the forthcoming serial of California, MEMORY OF THE MOON, which starts in The Citi- zen today. The leading character is lovely Cabrillo, the only member of a shiftless, easy-going family, who resembles her shrewd, hard-fisted Irish ances- tor. The Cabrillos are always debt so when the manager of El Cabrillo Ranch offers to buy the property, they insist that Con- stance sell. But “Constance , has other plans. She goes to Califor- nia to find out why the Taylors, father and son, have offered so high a price. There she meets a dashing vaquero who steals her heart before she is aware that he fis her enemy, young Taylor. Her decision to convert the cat- tle ranch into a dairy farm, her struggle with the Taylors, with wealthy John Raskthorne—the man who wants to marry her and even with her own family, make an exciting tale of a girl who had the courage of her con- victions. Jeanne Bowman, serial writer and author of the California ranch romance MEM ORY OF THE MOON, claims she linherited her love of ranch life from her grandfather, H. B. Bow- man, who was an early Oregon cattleman. She actually didn’t see 1a cow, however, until she was | nteen.
