not only for Endeavoters, but stories
about Endeavorers. You have written
more serials for this paper than any
other author, and there is an ever-unsatisfied demand for more. We are
glad that a new one is now resting in our
safe, and will appear in the'fall. ., What
a delightful list it is^—"The Story of a
