would you call his mainspring?' he asked. -'The desire to win money and its power. Mind you, I wouldn't call that a high motive, but in a young man it's a kind of a mainspring that sets him a-going and keeps the works busy until he can get better motive power. In Harry it's broken.' -'You're right--it was busted long ago, ' said Henry Delance. -'Some one has got to contrive a new mainspring for the sons of millionaires--they're so plenty these days.' -'There's the desire to be respectable, ' he suggested. -'But it is not nearly so universal as the love of money. If it were possible to have millionaire carpenters and shoemakers there'd be more hope! But I'll try to invent a mainspring for Harry. If he doesn't marry some fool woman there's a chance for the boy--a good chance.

Excerpt from Eben Holden: A Tale of the North Country This book has grown out of such enforced leisure as one may find in a busy life. Chap ters begun in the publicity of a Pullman car have been finished in the cheerless solitude of a hotel chamber. Some have had their begin ning in a sleepless night and their end in a day of bronchitis. A certain pious farmer in the north country when, like Agricola, he was about to die, requested the doubtful glory of this epitaph: He was a poor sinner, but he done his best. Save for the fact that I am an excellent sinner, in a literary sense, the words may stand for all the apology I have to make. The characters were mostly men and women I have known and who left with me a love of my kind that even a wide experience with knavery and misfortune has never dissipated.

Rome had passed the summits and stood looking into the dark valley of fourteen hundred years. Behind her the graves of Caesar and Sallust and Cicero and Catullus and Vergil and Horace; before her centuries of madness and treading down; round about her a multitude sickening of luxury, their houses filled with spoil, their mouths with folly, their souls with discontent; above her only mystery and silence; in her train, philosophers questioning if it were not better for a man had he never been born-deeming life a misfortune and extinction the only happiness; poets singing no more of "pleasantries and trifles," but seeking favor with poor obscenities.

Excerpt from D'ri and I: A Tale of Daring Deeds in the Second War With the British, Being the Memoirs TH IS is a tale of the adventurous and rugged pioneers, who, unconquered by other foes, were ever at war with the ancient wilderness, push ing the northern frontier of the white man far ther and farther to the west. Early in the last century they had striped the wild waste of timber with roadways from Lake Champlain to Lake Ontario, and spotted it with sown acres wide and fair; and still, as they swung their axes with the mighty vigor of great arms, the forest fell before them. In a long valley south of the St. Lawrence, sequestered by river, lake, and wilderness, they were slow to lose the simplicity, the dialect, and the poverty of their fathers.
