AUTHOR'S NOTE

Thisvolume may seem less a Novel than a Sketch of a Novel or a Studyfor a Novel. It might easily be amplified; but, like other recent workof mine, it was written in the conviction that story-telling, whateverform it take, can be done within limits narrower than those nowgenerally employed.
