However bleak the Labrador-however naked and desolate that shore-flowers bloom upon it. However bitter the despoiling sea-however cold and rude and merciless-the gentler virtues flourish in the hearts of the folk.... And the glory of the coast-and the glory of the whole world-is mother-love: which began in the beginning and has continued unchanged to this present time-the conspicuous beauty of the fabric of life: the great constant of the problem.

Young Jimmie Grimm began life at Buccaneer Cove of the Labrador. It was a poor place to begin, of course; but Jimmie had had nothing to do with that. It was by Tog, with the eager help of two hungry gray wolves, that he was taught to take care of the life into which, much to his surprise, he had been ushered. Tog was a dog with a bad name; and everybody knows that a dog with a bad name should be hanged forthwith. It should have happened to Tog. At best he was a wolfish beast. His father was a wolf; and in the end Tog was as lean and savage and cunningly treacherous as any wolf of the gray forest packs. When he had done with Jimmie Grimm--and when Jimmie Grimm's father had done with Tog--Jimmie Grimm had learned a lesson that he never could recall without a gasp and a quick little shudder.

Illustrated. The book begins: James Falcontent of Groot and McCarthy was, in the most singular fashion to be imagined, struck with ominous amazement. And big James Falcontent had got well past the years of simplicity: he was not easily startled. The Fifth Avenue bus had stopped; Falcontent had glanced up from his musing-a purely commercial calculation, being nothing more romantic than some trick of the trade having to do with the sale of boots and shoes.

The outer door was flung open. Came a rush of wind-the noise and wet and lusty stirring of the night. It broke harshly in upon us; 'twas a crashing discord of might and wrath and cruel indifference -- a mocking of this small tragedy. The door was sharply closed against the gale. I heard the wheeze and tread of my uncle in the kitchen. He entered -- his broad face grave and anxious and grieved -- but instantly fled, though I beckoned; for Parson Lute, overcome, it may be; by the impiety of Elizabeth, was upon his knees, fervently praying that the misguided soul might yet by some miraculous manifestation of grace be restored to propriety of view and of feeling.
