Dedication

We dedicate this book to all children who love a good story, with this message: If you would become better and better acquainted with your favorite heroes and heoroines in fiction and history, be the hero — act your part and act it well, and byand-by you will find yourself growing into the finer qualities of the character you love and growing out of the uglinesses of the character that you despise.

Make your hero a real person. Be the hero yourself. “Act well your part, there, all the honor lies.”

Margaret Knox,
