This is a short-story from a collection about life in the Northwest. A young woman desperately wants a baby. Unfortunately, she isn't married, and her prospects of finding a husband in this VERY small community aren't good. She cares for other's children whenever she can -- "adopts" them, at least in her mind. But it isn't the same; she wants a baby of her own.

This edition of the book contains the ten original illustrations, rejuvenated.

Norman Duncan (2 July 1871 -8 October 1916) was an author, journalist and educator. Duncan was born in Brantford, Ontario, a son of Augustus and Susan (Hawley) Duncan. He was educated in the University of Toronto, graduating in 1895. From 1897 to 1901 Duncan was on the staff of The New York Evening Post. After 1900, he lived mainly in the United States. In 1902, Duncan was appointed professor of rhetoric at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania, a position he held until 1906, when he became adjunct professor of English literature at the University of Kansas.

Duncan made several trips to Newfoundland and Labrador, which he then used as a setting for some of his books, including Doctor Luke of the Labrador.

Duncan published over 20 books, including short stories, novels, and travel journalism.
