How a Great Story Was Written.

The history OF any great and sue
cessfpl undertaking is always inter
esting, therefore at the risk of be-
ing accused of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers of
the origin of famous story of the
late war The Publishers of the
Chicago Record wanted a story
which, besides being love story of
great merit, should wildly describe
the thrilling events of the battle
of Gettysburg and the siege of Rich
mond. One author after another
failed in the work, and at last the
famous St George Rathburne was
approached on the subject, He de-
manded fabulous price 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" 1t is de-
clared by by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story Of the war ever written.
The first installment of it appeared
in No 3, Vol. xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention, A private letter from
the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the
publishers of the Ledger will mail
the opening chapters of the story
free Of charge to all who send in
their names at once. The ledger
is a great paper, and each week
gives story matter enough to make
a dollar book. Address
