  Smiles is a girl that is sure to make friends. Her real name is Rose,but the rough folk of the Cumberlands preferred their own way ofaddressing her, for her smile was so bright and winning that no othername suited her so well.

  Smiles was not a native of the Cumberlands, and her parentage is one ofthe interesting mysteries of the story. Young Dr. MacDonald saw more inher than the mere untamed, untaught child of the mountains and when, dueto the death of her foster parents a guardian became necessary, he wasselected. Smiles developed into a charming, serious-minded young woman,and the doctor's warm friend, Dr. Bently, falls in love with her.

  We do not want to detract from the pleasure of reading this story bytelling you how this situation was met, either by Smiles or Dr.MacDonald--but there is a surprise or two for the reader.
