'BY JESSE LYNCH WILLIAMS


"Mr. Williams is the only writer of fiction thus far who has in any degree reproduced the peculiar atmosphere of a newspaper office.… Each [story] is of a different type from the rest, and each deals with some particular phase of newspaper work. Altogether Mr. Williams has not wasted a line in his book."—Washington (D. C) Times.

"Mr. Williams has the advantage of knowing thoroughly what he is talking about and of making it interesting. 'The Stolen Story' is one of the best short stories that has been written in a long time."—New York Sun.

"Told in a compressed, rapid style that carries you along with something of the zest that took possession of Billy Woods when he was on the track of a beat."—Droch in Life.

"This fascination [of newspaper work] is strong in Mr. Williams, and he has the genius of making his hearers feel it."—St Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Mr. Williams has made the reporter's life his own in fiction—the life as it really is, not as it sometimes is represented in books."—New York Mail and Express.
