When Francis Lynde writes a story with railroad life for a background, you may count on a bit of reading that is well worth your while. When you find added to this background a foreground made up of a youthful official who is personally conducting a party of tourists across our western country, and a girl, the daughter of the president of the road, who is travelling on the rear of this young gentleman's train in a private car, you have got a situation that ought to be very interesting. At Mr Lynde's hand it presently becomes intensely so.
You see "He" has met "Her" before, a very ordinary but single occasion which neither of them have quite been able to forget. It is not to be marvelled at then that when the "Flying Kestrel," vestibuled, pulls out of the Missouri River terminal on its run to Denver and the passenger agent in question finds attached to the train a private car which contains the president's party in general and "She" in particular, that he has reason to congratulate himself.
Ah, if only his self-congratulations weren't so premature.
Francis Lynde (1856-1930) was a prolific writer, with short fiction appearing in magazines like Munsey’s as early as 1894. A decade later, he began a long relationship with The Popular Magazine.
By 1910 when Scribner’s published The Taming of Red Butte Western, Lynde had already published six novels, plus a couple dozen serialized stories in magazines. In later years, three of his stories would find their way to film.
