II. Rider HasGnrd's Latest Work to
Commence in TOmorraw's Star.

are two of the most popular writers of the

American and their stories will make de-
are H. Rider Haggard and Joel Chandler
Harris.
The first chapter of Mr.. Haggard's latest
story, "Elissa," will be printed in The Star

ticn. The hero is grandson of King Sol
omon, and the subject and scene offer 4
splendid opportunity for Mr.. Haggard 5

rttle doubt that ELISA, will take rank
as one of the great works of fiction OF the

"An Ambuscade,'' and will be published in
two parts, tomorrow and next Saturday.
1t is in the chara cteris tic vein of the au-
thor of "Uncle Remus.'' 1t is unques ton
ably one of his best stories. Ii is full of
dramatic action ana thoroughly true to life
in the south of old war days.
The Star has a great treat in store for
its younger readers, for it will shortly be-
gin the publication OF a serial story by G.
a. Henty. From the title, "Among Malay
Pirates" it can be seen that it is a story
of dangerous adventure. There is no writ er
today whose stories are more popular with
boys than Mr.. Henty, end they will not be
disappointed in this, his latest work.
