“Chad,” the “little shepherd” did not know who he was nor whence he came—­he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood, seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered and mothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery—­a charming waif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else in the mountains.

A KNIGHT OF THE CUMBERLAND.  Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.

The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland, the lair of moonshiner and feudsman.  The knight is a moonshiner’s son, and the heroine a beautiful girl perversely christened “The Blight.”  Two impetuous young Southerners fall under the spell of “The Blight’s” charms and she learns what a large part jealousy and pistols have in the love making of the mountaineers.

Included in this volume is “Hell fer-Sartain” and other stories, some of Mr. Fox’s most entertaining Cumberland valley narratives.

THE INSIDE OF THE CUP.  Illustrated by Howard Giles.

The Reverend John Hodder is called to a fashionable church in a middle-western city.  He knows little of modern problems and in his theology is as orthodox as the rich men who control his church could desire.  But the facts of modern life are thrust upon him; an awakening follows and in the end he works out a solution.

A FAR COUNTRY.  Illustrated by Herman Pfeifer.
