  With September came a supreme event in the lives of Chip and Ray, when Mr. and Mrs. Frisbie, Aunt Comfort, Miss Phinney and Hannah, Uncle Jud and Aunt Mandy, and Old Cy, all gathered in Aunt Abby’s quaint parlor to see her aged pastor join their hands and lives. Then came the kisses, the congratulations, the rice, and old-shoe throwing, and then solitude and tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding guests except Old Cy hied themselves away with the new pair, and he left for Bayport. And thus closes the history of Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness and slave of Tim’s Place. Bless her! Two days later Old Cy returned. No one was in the house when he knocked at Aunt Abby’s door, and then, led perhaps by the invisible chord that spanned forty years, he slowly strolled up the path beside the old mill-pond, which he and she had often followed in the old, old days. His heart had led him aright, for there, at the foot “I thought I’d come over ’n’ bid ye good-bye, Abby,” he said gently, as she arose to meet him. “I’ve been doin’ a good deal o’ biddin’ good-bye to-day. I bid good-bye to the old graveyard whar my folks is; it’s all growed up to weeds ’n’ bushes, I’m sorry to say. But that can’t be helped. It’s the way o’ natur. I’ve been down to the p’int whar you ’n’ I used to go, an’ I bid that good-bye,” he added, seating himself near her. “Ye ’member it, don’t ye, Abby, ’n’ them days when we went thar to watch the waves?” “I do, Cyrus,” she answered, her voice trembling. “I remember all the old days only too well.” “They all come back to me, too,” he continued in a lower tone, “an’ I wish I could skip back to ’em, but I can’t. I’m an old man now, an’ no use to nobody, ’n’ not much to myself. I’ve been a wanderer many years–ye know why, Abby. I’ve had a short spell o’ joy, kinder helpin’ this boy ’n’ gal into sunshine ’n’ a home. They’ve gone their way now ’n’ sure to forgit me an’ you. It’s nat’ral they should, ’n’ all that’s left me is to go back to the woods ’n’ stay.” He paused a moment, glancing up the narrow Once more he paused, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a time. “Wal, I might as well be goin’,” he said finally, rising and extending his hand, “so good-bye, Abby. I wish ye well in life.” “But is there any need of it?” she answered, turning her face to hide the tears as his hand clasped hers. “Why, no, only to fergit my sorrer,” he answered; “I can’t do it here.” “But who will care for you there–at last–and–must you go?” Then she turned to him again. And then he saw, not the gentle, saddened face upraised to his, but the tender face of sweet Abby Grey of the long, long ago. “Must you leave us–me?” she whispered once again. “Wal, mebbe not,” he answered. THE END NEW POPULAR EDITIONS OF TO HAVE AND TO HOLD It was something new and startling to see an author’s first novel sell up into the hundreds of thousands, as did this one. The ablest critics spoke of it in such terms as “Breathless interest,” “The high water mark of American fiction since Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” “Surpasses all,” “Without a rival,” “Tender and delicate,” “As good a story of adventure as one can find,” “The best style of love story, clean, pure and wholesome.” AUDREY With the brilliant imagination and the splendid courage of youth, she has stormed the very citadel of adventure. Indeed it would be impossible to carry the romantic spirit any deeper into fiction.–Agnes Repplier.

Brown, formerly city editor of the Denver Tribune, and an intimate friend and associate of the poet during the several years in which he was on the staff of that paper. This volume resurrects a literary treasure which has been buried for many years in the forgotten files of a newspaper, and it is, as nearly as it has been possible to make, an absolutely complete collection of the hitherto unpublished poems of the gifted author.
