NOTE.


Three of the accompanying Tales—the first, third, and fourth in order—were included in a collection of short stories published in Boston some years since. Two of the others—the second and the last—are now reprinted for the first time from American periodicals. All these things have been revised and retouched. "The Diary of a Man of Fifty" originally appeared in Macmillan's Magazine.
