MARGARET DELAND.
The Successful Career of the Author OF
"John Ward, Preacher"
New York Herald.

The Successful Career of the Author of
John Ward, Preacher"
New York Herald.
"John Ward, Preacher" was the most
widely discussed book written In America
In the year 1858. 1t was Mrs. Margaret w.
Deland's first prose work, but 1t placed
her at once in the front rank of American
novelists.
Although Mrs. Deland began to write
childish stories about as soon as she could
make words with a pen. il was not until
she had been married three or four years
that she entertained any thought of writing
for publication, and even then the thought
was not her own. She was born in coun-
try place near Pittsburg, Pa. but was Of
English descent and was reared under Eng
lish traditi0ns-that is to say, she was
taught the strictest obedience and the
utmost self-effacement. Even to this day
II amaZes her TO see girls with opinions and
TO hear them express them.
Some three years after her marriage to
Mr.. Lorin f. Deland of Boston Mrs. Deland
made the acquaintance of her good genius.
lady of exquisite taste and tireless energy.
She Is the friend, by the way, to whom Mrs.
Deland's first book, 1.-The Old Garden" is
very appropriately dedicated. One day Mrs.
Deland was out in a snowst0rm and was so
enchanted by ii that she wrote letter to
her friend about 1t.
Il gushed q good deal, l suppose" she
says.
When they met again the friend asked
her why she did not write poetry. Mrs. De-
land thought her friend was poking fun at her,
bnt the good friend told her that the "snow
letter" only needed rhythm 10 make it q
beautiful poem. A few days later Mrs. De-
land wrote her first poem, 1.-The Morning
Glory" Not long after that she was mar

Dangers of Mountain Travel.
chanaEtp Tfp,ao

While the fast mail train on the Catawissa
branch of the Reading Railroad was wind
Ing along the mountains last night near
Lofty, rock weighing 1000 pounds became
loosened fully 200 yards up the mountain
and started to roll. Engineer Jack Geisin-
ger heard the crashing of the timber as the
monstrous stone tore down. The train was
running forty miles an hour, and as 1t was
quite dark the trainmen did not know
where the bowlder would strike.
Opening the throttle tho engineer started
O race for life. Suddenly terrific crash
was heard and a cloud OF dust arose a
dozen yards ahead where the rock had
struck. The crew prayed and waited
death. In a second the train reached tho
spot where the engineer saw the
large bowlder resting alongside the
rails SO close that the axle boxes and
pedestal OF the locomotive and every step
on the passenger-c0aches were completely
stripped. The passengers were unaware OF
their peril until they heard the grinding OF
timber as the cars sped by the rock.

way home she stopped to call on her
friend. and while waiting for her in the
drawing-room wrote 1.-The Succory."
on bit of wrapping paper on which
she had made memoranda for her morn
ing's purchases. She waited only a few
moments, but when her friend came Mrs.
Deland read the verses TO her. The friend
took them. copied them and sent them to
Harper's. Mrs. Deland believed that the
bias of friendship had made her verses
seem better than they were. but when she
received generous check from the Harpers
she realized that there must be some merit
In her work. Thus encouraged. she went
70 work with an enthusiasm little short of
madness, producing sometimes two or three
poems day. which the friend scattered
among the magazines. When enough had
been written TO make a volume the friend
always the friend-to0k them to Houghtan,
MIffiin & Co., with the result that in 1856
Mrs Deland's first book of poems was is
sued. In ten days the first edition was sold
and the book has had a steady sale ever
since.
But there was nothing dramatic in any
thing she had yet written, nothing to sug-
gest the future novelist. Still, the friend
believed in Mrs. Deland's power TO write a
novel and frequently urged her to make the
attempt. a last one day she came bundlIng
into Mrs. Deland's house with a prodigious
package of paper, six bottles Of ink and six
penholders.
''There!" said she. "NOw you are to
write your novel"
The next day John Ward, Preacher"
was begun.
As much discussion has been INDUCED in
regarding the motive of this book il is in
teresting to have Mrs. Deland's own opin-
ion on the subject.
THE motive was not a theological one,"
she says. THE whole purpose OF the story
was 20 show the power Of love-"
And she adds: ITO my mind John Wards
love was deeper than Helen's, because to in-
fict pain on the beloved is the hardest thing
love can do. To bear pain is easy In COM
parison. To save Helen's soul John was
willing not only to suffer himself, but to
make her suffer-"
1t took year and half to write John
Ward. Preacher" Nearly every chapter
was rewritten five or six times, and the
proofs were carefully corrected twice or
thrice.
