PREFACE
It seemed suitable, when making a selection of short stories for publication in book form, to include my first attempt with my last, and therefore the very juvenile production—"Miss Jones and the Masterpiece"—finds a place with the others.
My thanks are due to the Editors of the Century Magazine, Scribners' Magazine, and the English Review, for allowing me to republish the stories that appeared in their pages.
November, 1912.
