Dedication.

To my parents,

PETER AND SARAH A. (BIGGS) NEFF,

The representatives, as united, of the descendants of Peter and Rebecca Neff, these pages are lovingly presented, knowing that unto none other so lenient and appreciative could they be given.

To the former I am indebted for the form, shape, and fulfillment of my work, as the necessary amount of means to promote my undertaking, was always willingly and cheerfully contributed.

To the latter a conviction of, and faith in my ability, far surpassing my deservings, which, expressed in tender and encouraging words and acts, has stimulated me to the results presented in this little book.

The efforts of the critic may have a tendency to dismay me, but my courage will be restored, if I have done my work in a measure to merit the approval of those interested in the story.

Clifford Place.
