“THE FLYING LION,” BY EDISON MARSHALL.

In the current issue of the- Blue Book magazine is to be found a production entitled, “The Flying Lion.” The author of the tale, which has its setting in- the woods of the great northwest, is Edison Marshall, of Medford, Ore., who was until a few years ago a resident of this city and a son of George Marshall, former editor of the Republican. It is one of a series of stories which Mr. Marshall is writing at the present time, the first one having appeared a month or so ago in the Blue Book. Mr. Marshall’s fame as a short story writer is steadily increasing and he has already written many stories which 'have been published in the leading magazines of the country. His stories generally turn to animals and nature, he being a lover of outdoor life, and the present series deal with those subjects. Wierd and far-fetched, though they may be', nevertheless they always prove intensely interesting and never fail to grip the reader throughout, and have placed Mr. Marshall on a plane as the leading animal fiction writer of the country today. “The Last of the Missing Seventeen,” written by the Rensselaer 'boy in 1917, was proclaimed one of the best ten short stories produced in America that year by the leading authorities of the country. . » It is a source of great pleasure to his many friends here to witness his steady rise in the world of authors and his future stories will ■be awaited eagerly by the people of this city.
