SPECIAL NOTICE.

OUR NEW SERIAL STORY.

In the next Number of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE will be found the opening chapter of a new serial story, ent.i.tled

"WHO WAS PAUL GRAYSON?"

written expressly for this paper by JOHN HABBERTON, so widely known as the author of "Helen's Babies." The story is one of school-boy life, and abounds in situations and incidents that will prove familiar to the experience of a large proportion of our readers. Over the life of Paul Grayson, the hero of the story, hangs a mystery that his schoolmates determine to solve, and which is at last cleared up in the most unexpected manner. The story will be fully and beautifully ill.u.s.trated from original drawings.
