DEDICATION

To T. HARTLEY ROBERTS, Esq., J.P.

MY DEAR FRIEND,

I am dedicating this book to you, partly because when you read it inMS. you told me you liked it better than any story I have ever written;but more because, although words are at best utterly inadequate, I wantto tell you that one of the things I value most in life is yourfriendship.

JOSEPH HOCKING.
