My Husband.



FOREWORD.




MOST of the tales in this little book have
been printed before. "A Mountain Woman"
appeared in Harper's Weekly, as did "The
Three Johns" and "A Resuscitation." "Jim
Lancy's Waterloo" was printed in the Cosmo-
politan, "A Michigan Man" in Lippincott's,
and "Up the Gulch" in Two Tales. The
courtesy of these periodicals in permitting the
stories to be republished is cordially acknowl-
edged.
