THE LEGEND OF 

 JERRY LADD 



ROV HOLFE GILSON 



The Legend of 

 Jerry Ladd 



By ROY ROLFE GILSON 



Author of "Ember Light," "The Wistful Years," etc. 



1^ Jeremy Ladd was a dreamer, one of those men 

 who, try as they will, cannot see the coarser realities 

 about them, but who think only of what the golden 

 future may have in store. Jerry's dreams were 

 beautiful and they were inspiring because they 

 were true, but they somehow lacked the practical 

 side which he found to be more important when 

 his daily bread was at stake. 



"It sometimes happens — not often, but sometimes — that after 

 finishing a book one feels inclined to rise up and call the author 

 blessed, which was the sincere desire of one reader, at least, of Mr. 

 Gilson's charming little sketch. It is inner, ultimate truths that 

 Mr. Gilson, through his lovable creation, ventures to portray.
