Good Detective Work.

The discovery and punishment of the express robbers who made a large haul upon the Missouri Pacific Railroad, near St. Louis, was one of the best conducted and most successful pieces of detective work of late years. The crime and its detection have been made the occasion for one of the best stories of the day, which will be commenced in the Chicago Ledger of April 13 and be continued for several months. The author of the novel is Edmond C. Strong, who will be remembered by readers of that paper as the writer of “Manacle and Bracelet,” which was immensely popular. The Ledger is only $1.50 per year. A sample copy of the paper, containing the opening chapters of this great story, will be sent any one sending name and address to the Ledger Company, 271 Franklin street, Chicago, before the date of beginning of the story.
