TO

EVELINA HEMINWAY SMITH

"SISTER--FRIEND"

Accept the dedication of this book of mine as a very slight recognition
of your encouragement in my work; your faith in me.

To you I first read the story; from you I received my first approval; I
believe its chances will be brighter in the book-world if your name and
good-will go with it.

HARRIET T. COMSTOCK
