Item description from seller

First edition with "Published, October, 1914" on copyright page. Warm, lenghty inscription by MacFarlane dated Dec. 1920 on the front free endpaper.Fine, tight copy, no jacket. Hardcover in light brown cloth with spine lettered in black. 269 pp. With four full page illustrations. An underappreciated collection of eight tales of people who were victims, sometimes self-inflicted, of disturbing life events but who, as the title of the collection indicates, eventually find resolution. In one, a woman becomes a morphine addict an describes not only her descent into the maelstrom of drug abuse but how she eventually overcame it; in another, a career bank robber is saved from his criminal ways by the love of a woman; an innocent but ignorant-of -the-ways-of-the-world Irish girl from London's Whitechapel district becomes pregnant but doesn't know how it could have happened (pregnancy, thanks to the mores of the time is never explictly mentioned). Peter Clark MacFarlane (1871-1924) was an American novelist whose popular short stories were frequently published in The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, and The American magazine. Two of his stories were adapted into silent films. MacFarlane shot himself in 1924 and signed items are very scarce.…
