Private stands are an imposition and would not be tolerated in London or any other Enu- | repean city.

They were a race of giants. Any Doone who was not at least six feet | one inch tall and twenty-two inches across the shoulders was driven forth from the valley and forced to the ignominy of earning an honest living | somewhere. i On one taid the Doones captured a little girl, Lorna by name, | daughter of one of their rich kinsmen. Knowing she was heiress to & | huge fortune, they brought her up to womanhood in their valley, intending | to keep her in the Doone famiiy by marrying her some day to Carver Doone, | most brutal and relentless of this brutal and relentiess clan. | But Lorna, woman like, had plans of her own. She chanced to meet a young \@armer, John Kidd, who was as huge and powerful as any giant umong the | Doonee.
