Inns "a Modern Heather"
Speaking of this last work OF our dis
tinguished southern author, the Graphic
says:
What Geo. w. Cables writings are to
the Creoles of New Orleans, Miss Muir
free to the rough strata of humanity
among the Tennessee mountains, and
Gertrude Atherton to California, Mrs.
E. Burke Collins are to the Acadians
Of the Louisiana Pine Lands. In her lat
est work Mrs. Collins has struck new
vein in literature, opening to the novel
reading world vision Of the real life Of
the Acadians of the backwoods. among
the wild, scarcely known region of the
bayous and swamps of Louisiana.
Besides her novels she contributes each
week short stories, sketches, ETC., to the
prominent magazines and to a great
variety of other publications.
Although her writing has always been
labor OF love, yet such incessant mental
exertiop, constantly harvesting the ideas
of her brain without single idle season
or fallow time for rest and refreshment,
could not fail to have its effects upon the
recuperative power of her nervous sys-

out and weak from such uninterrupted
work; she became nervous and incapable
of work she even saw nervous prostra-
ton staring her in the face. The general
toning up that her system needed so bad

Today she is perfectly well and strong
again, and grateful for the timely help
when failure and trouble and despair
seemed about to close round her and
shut her off from everything that was
dear to her. She says
