FOREWORD
"THE DAREDEVIL" isn't

l. just an ordinary story
of a girl who masquer-
AIDES in mans clothing. There
is a vital reason behind it all.
It isn't all a lark, though
comedy turks on the footsteps
of the stout hearted pretelder;
an American father, French
mother and quick sympathies
that link fatherland and moth
erland in love that braves very
real dangers for the safety Of
one and the honor of both. In
the story there is a most ire
sistible young man whose
name is Buzz and who lives up
to it. There is an irascible old
bachelor uncle, secretary Of
state to his excel.ency the gov
ernor of Harpeth, "the great
est gentleman in the world"
But, best Of all, there is Ro-
berta, the daredevil" the
lovable heart of a mighty lika-
BILE story. You may be sure she
will captivate you, just as she
did those who knew her Sin

Maryland farmers fearing the advent
of brood of seventeen-year locusts
this season, because their appearance
in part-of Pennsylvania has been an
nounced have asked E. N. Cory, State
Entomologist, for information. Mr.
Cory wrote the following letter and
sent it to Randolph Millholland, of Cum
berland, stating that no serious invasion
of the periodical Cicade need be feared
here until 1919:
I'VE have no exact records prior to
1902 of the general distribution of
the broods. Brood 8 last appeared in
1900, and on reference to the Govern
ment Bulletin on the Periodical Cicada,
published in 1898, | find that there is no
record for the appearance of this in
sect in Maryland
ut is described as occurring in west
ern New York, western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio, and northern West Vir-
ginia. together with one place in Mas
sachusetts. The brood is not an i'm

to you at which it was reported in 1900
are Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Cam
bria, Clarion, Forest, Huntington. In

that you need not worry about an in

And as the big car drove up to the
tall pillars on guard of its front, he
laid both his hands upon my shoulders
and turned me toward him with force

keen eyes did he look down into the
