FOREWORD

As far as this book is concerned, the public may Take It, or the
public may Let It Alone. But the authors feel it their duty to say
that no deductions as to their own private habits are to be made
from the story here offered. With its composition they have
beguiled the moments of the valley of the shadow.

Acknowledgement should be made to the Evening Public Ledger of
Philadelphia for permission to reprint the ditty included in
Chapter VI.

The public will forgive this being only a brief preface, for at
the moment of writing the time is short. Wishing you a Merry
Abstinence, and looking forward to meeting you some day in Europe,
