This oil painting by American painter, illustrator, and muralist Gayle Porter Hoskins was used in “Youth's Companion” on December 23, 1926 for "The Gathering Storm" by Margaret Lynn. The serialized 1926 story is focused on Janet, a fearless red-headed teenage daughter of a Kansas settler family. In Hoskin’s illustration, she comes upon the men who stole her horse, Pronto. Well-armed, she matter-of-factly seizes Pronto and begins to walk him home as the rustlers mockingly accuse her of thievery. Unintimidated, Janet offers them food and shelter if they follow her. The men, impressed by her bravery, “cease to be amused” and accept her hospitality. Janet tells her parents that she plans to return to the West after college for a life of “courage and devotion and firmness.” Men do not figure in her plans. A native of Missouri, Margaret Lynn migrated with her parents to the remotest part of the state during her childhood. She became a college English professor and was among the first women to write Western novels. Some critics consider Lynn’s character Janet to be a fictional portrait of herself. Gayle Hoskins was born in Brazil, Indiana to William "Pica" Thompson Hoskins, a sheet-music dealer, and Madge Porter Hoskins in 1887. The family moved to Denver, CO five years later. About 1901, he began publishing cartoons in the Denver Post. Around 1904, he studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and then began working for Marshall Field and Company as a mural designer and published illustrations in Redbook in 1907. Artist Howard Pyle invited Hoskins to study at Pyle's school in Wilmington, Delaware from 1907 until 1910. Hoskins became a nationally known illustrator by 1918 publishing in Harper's Weekly, Good Housekeeping, Liberty, Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, and other publications such as the one in 1926.
