TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.


We take pleasure In announcing that we
have secured magnificent serial story from
the pen Of the most popular living writer
for young folks. Upon Col Knox's shoul-
ders has fallen the mantle of the late Capt.
AIayne Reid. The Colonel was a gallant
soldier, and in his latest story, written ex-
clusiyely for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, he
carries two young heroes over ground he
fought upon himself a quarter Of a cen
tury ago. The narrative reaches its climax
in the famous battle Of Pea Ridge with
the defeat Of the celebrated Ben McCuIIoch,
who fell there, and its horrible butchery Of
the Union wounded by the Indians in the
rebel service.
TIE Colonel was wounded in Missouri,
where he saw double service as a soldier and
war correspondent for the New York Herald.
