LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

To spend one’s youth fending for oneself working on a Texas ranch, undergoing thrilling adventures and coming through them safely, to return to Britain, having inherited a baronetcy and fortune, is an eventful beginning to a career. Sir James Chernocke, formerly Jim Weston, cowboy, besides having these experiences, is wanted for killing a man. Only his friend and secretary, Bill Beverley, knows that, as a boy of twenty, Jim was mixed up in a shooting affray at Loomis, in New Mexico. His partner, Bart Chandler, had been framed on a rustling charge. In rescuing him, Jim Chernocke had shot a man. Hunted, he escaped through the pluck and cleverness of Bart’s sixteen-year-old sister, Joan. He has never forgotten his debt. These are the facts which face the reader in the opening instalment of “Second Time West,” by T. C. Bridges, which the “WAIRARAPA TIMES-AGE” has secured for its next serial story, the first instalment of which will appear on Monday. This powerful story of adventure and romance in two hemispheres presents exciting scenes and battles in a modern setting. Readers may remember from Mr Bridge’s previous stories, such as “Watching Eyes,” “Seven Years’ Sentence,” “The Hidden Enemy,” “Gay Venture,” etc, that the author has the art of presenting such tales to perfection.— “Second Time West” will rank among his best.
