Oliver Optic 
Make or Break or, The Rich Man’s Daughter [EPUB ebook] 

MAKE OR BREAK, is the fifth of the serial stories published in OUR BOYS AND GIRLS – a magazine which has become so much the pet of the author, that he never sits down to write a story for it without being impressed by a very peculiar responsibility. Twenty thousand youthful faces seem to surround him, crying out for something that will excite their minds, and thrill their very souls, while a calmer, holier voice, speaking in the tones of divine command, breathes gently forth, Feed my lambs.
