THE END A FEW OF GROSSET & DUNLAP'S Great Books at Little Prices NEW, CLEVER, ENTERTAINING. GRET: The Story of a Pagan. By Beatrice Mantle. Illustrated by C. M. Relyea. The wild free life of an Oregon lumber camp furnishes the setting for this strong original story. Gret is the daughter of the camp and is utterly content with the wild life--until love comes.
