our readers Of the origin OF famous
story of the late war. The publishers OF
the Chicago LEDGER wanted story
which, besides being love story OF great
merit, should vividly describe the thrill
ing events Of the battle Of Gettysburg
and the siege of Richmond. One au-
thor after another failed in the work.
and at last the famous st. George Rath.
burne was approached on the subject.
He demanded a fabulous rice for the
work, but it was paid. and the story was
actually written to order. 1t is however,
printed under the pen name OF Hugh
Allen" It is declared by critics. who
have been shown the advance sheets, to
be the best story of the war ever written.
The first instalment of 1t appeared IN

! A private letter from the editor informs
us that in order 10 reach all class OF peo'
