Robert J. Collier now brought Samuel Hopkins Adams to Bok's attention and asked the latter if he should object if Collier's Weekly joined him in his fight. The Philadelphia editor naturally welcomed the help of the weekly, and Adams began his wonderfully effective campaign.
It makes an art out of coldness in narration which serves to emphasize and bring out by contrast the human warmth of the story's substance. Readers who recall the fine series of stories by Alden Brooks published during the past two years in Collier's Weekly and the Century Magazine will find in "The Foundling" a story equally memorable as a ruthless portrayal of the effects of war.
Spinney had also provided a terrific amount of fruit and other things, and if Collier's room had only been big enough to provide space for all of us and for what we were expected to eat and drink, I think our wine at the start would have been a most imposing display. As it was everybody thought it had been done well except Collier, who told me to look in his bedroom.
In bearing upon our present national crisis it would be thoughtful and practical of W. J. to die. If W. J.'s worst enemy were to push him off the top of the fortieth story of the Equitable Building to-morrow morning all I would have to do would be to write an article about him in some national weekly, Saturday Evening Post or Collier's, which would be read by four million people.
Does not this make it clear that the pencil-writing on the margins of Mr. Collier's folio, the greater part of which is so indistinct that to most eyes it is illegible without the aid of a magnifying-glass, and of which not a few of the most legible words are incomplete, may be the pencil-memorandums of a man who entered these marginal readings in the century 1600?

"The final struggle will be a political one, for the capture of the State from the hands of the capitalists, and such capture will mean the transfer of capitalist State-owned property to collective property and the establishment of industrial democracy, or Socialism." From a private letter published editorially in the New York Sun. The Outlook, Nov. 25, 1911. Collier's Weekly, Sept. 2, 1911.
The reporter at Portsmouth begins his account of the 'press' at that place by saying, 'They indiscriminately took every man on board the colliers. In view of what we know of the heavy penalties to which officers who pressed more than a certain proportion of a collier's crew were liable, we may take it that this statement was made in error.
"No teller of sea tales can put the passion of the sea into his stories more forcibly than Mr. Connolly." Brooklyn Eagle. "The very breath of the ocean blows in these thrilling stories of deep-sea adventure." Albany Journal. With frontispiece by M.J. BURNS 12mo, $1.50 "It carries the sails easily. In Tommy Clancy he has created a veritable Mulvaney of the sea." Collier's Weekly.
We write for those who are somewhat interested in this subject, and must assume that our readers are not entirely without information upon it; but it is desirable, if not necessary, that in the beginning we should call to mind the following dates and circumstances. According to Mr. Collier's account, this folio was bought by him "in the spring of 1849," of Mr.
