DEDICATION.

To John and Jane, to Fred and Frank,

To Theodore and Mary,

To Willie and to Reginald,

To Louis, Sue and Gary;

To sturdy boys and merry girls,

And all the dear young people

Who live in towns, or live on farms,

Or dwell near spire or steeple;

To boys who work, and boys who play,

Eager, alert and ready,

To girls who meet each happy day

With faces sweet and steady;

To dearest comrades, one and all,

To Harry, Florrie, Kate,

To children small, and children tall,

This book I dedicate.

PREFACE.

Boys and girls, I am proud to call a host of you my personal friends, and I dearly love you all. It has been a great pleasure to me to arrange this gift book for you, and I hope you will like the stories and ballads, and spend many happy hours over them. One story, "The Middle Daughter," was originally published in Harper's "Round Table," and is inserted here by consent of Messrs. Harper and Brothers. Two of the ballads, "Horatius," and "The Pied Piper," belong to literature, and you cannot afford not to know them, and some of the fairy stories are like bits of golden coin, worth treasuring up and reading often. Miss Mary Joanna Porter deserves the thanks of the boys for the aid she has given in the making of this volume, and the bright stories she has contributed to its pages.

A merry time to you, boys and girls, and a heart full of love from your steadfast friend,

M.E.S.
