And decorations by Edward Stratton Holloway. Barbour wrote a number spirited genuine stories with something to appeal to every boy with the love of manliness, cleanness, and sportsmanship in his heart. Heart's Content begins: A man and a dog trudged along a country road. On either side, beyond gray stone walls, meadows stretched gently upward to meet a warm blue sky. Afar a mowing-machine moved slowly against the horizon, and the chatter of its blades seemed to intensify the heat, like the midsummer rasping of a locust. All about was the fragrance of clover, of red clover knee-deep in the ripe meadows, of alsike clover hugging the lichened walls, of white clover, shy and lowly, peering from the wild tangle along the way.
