perfectly marvellous. 1t leaves the
stories of every other sensational writ

Nor was Balzac in France above
praising his own works. "If you have
not been born a story teller" he wrote
In review, you will never obtain
the popularity OF M. de Balzac And
what story teller! What nerve and
wit! How the world is dissected by
this man! What passion and cool
ness!"
But the height Of literary advertise
ment In the first half of the last cen
tury was reached in the case Of Eu-
gene Sues famous novel, THE Wan
dering Jew" Every little while the
daily installment in the newspaper In
which 1t was appearing would be
missing, and in It's place would be an
announcement that M. Sue was suffer
Ing from slight indisposition and
readers would be obliged to wait AZ
hours for new deyeloDments OF the
narrative. And all the while Sue
himself was industriously abetting the
publishers by posing overdressed and
with spurs in his boots at the Cafe
de Paris in an attitude Of deepest alb
straction, as If wondering what the
