A NEW SERIAL.
In No. 101 of Harper's Young People, issued October 4, will appear the first chapter of a fascinating serial story, entitled
THE TALKING LEAVES,
BY W. O. STODDARD.
The story of "The Talking Leaves" is one of Indian life in the far Southwest, the scenes being laid in Arizona and Mexico. Without being sensational or exaggerated, the story is of absorbing interest. The descriptions of places and persons are true to nature, and the illustrations, drawn by Thulstrup, are reproductions of actual characters and incidents. Mr. Stoddard is already so well known to the readers of Young People as the author of some of their favorite stories that the mere mention of his name is a sufficient introduction.
