_By Eliot Harlow Robinson_
_Author of "Smiles: A Rose of the Cumberlands," "Smiling Pass," "TheMaid of Mirabelle," etc._

"_What is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh._"
MR. ROBINSON'S distinguished success came with the acclaim accreditedto his novel, SMILES, "_The Best-Loved Book of the Year_," and itssequel, SMILING PASS. With delicate humor and a sincere faith in thebeautiful side of human nature, Mr. Robinson has created for himselfa host of enthusiastic admirers. In his new book he chooses a theme,suggested perhaps by the old proverb quoted above ("Pilpay's Fables").His setting is a Quaker village, his theme the conflict between graveQuaker ideals and the strength and hot blood of impulsive Mark Gray.
Here is a book that is worthy of the reception accorded SMILES byall readers who appreciate a story of deep significance, simply yetpowerfully built upon fundamental passions, wrought with a philosophythat always sees the best in troubled times.
The enthusiastic editor who passed on MARK GRAY'S HERITAGE callsit--hardly too emphatically--"A mighty good story with plenty ofentertainment for those who like action (there is more of that in itthan in any other of Mr. Robinson's novels). The reading public willunquestionably call it another 'courage book'--which they called theSMILES books, you know. The language is both strong and smooth. Thestory has a punch!"
