OHOMAS ARHUR NELSON(LOHIAN AND BORDER HORSE)
My Dear ommy,You and I have long cherished an aection or that elemental type o tale which Americans call the ‘dime novel’ and whichwe know as the ‘shocker’ the romance where the incidentsdey the probabilities, and march just inside the borders o the possible. During an illness last winter I exhausted my storeo those aids to cheerulness, and was driven to write one or mysel. Tis little volume is the result, and I should like to put your name on it in memory o our long riendship, in the dayswhen the wildest fctions are so much less improbable thanthe acts. J.B.
