The figure was of large dimensions I am not sure of the exact amount, but I know It exceeded 1 0,000, covering merely the American rights and the publishers decided not to risk that sum on the book, and good judges seemed to think they acted wisely.

Her address Is- on "Garrison Life," and few lecturers know more of their subject than does Mrs. Ouster of the one she has happily chosen. The first novel which Miss Mary E.
