[Illustration] "The sweetest American story ever written," wrote one critic in reviewing the story, which first appeared as a serial in a magazine of large circulation.

A strong inquiry for the novel in book form developed, and we have just issued the book to meet this demand.
The story is wholly American in sentiment, and every chapter appeals to the reader's sympathies, as the whole book pulsates with pure and cherished ideals.
