worth is usually ranked with the sensation
writers, but she has the satisfaction OF know
ing that she is more widely read than any oth-
er living novelist. This may seem strange, but
doubt that the announcement of a new story
by her In the New York Ledger increases the
circulation of that paper more than would BE-
the case were Bonner to announce story by
Charles Dickens. A South worth novel in the
Ledger increases the sale of that paper about
$3.50 copies which we suppose no other writer
could do for it.

lowing:
