The only story published by Beadle under the name "Bertha Thorne Bishop" had appeared eight years before in the New York Mercury as by "Septimus R. Urban."⁽¹⁾ The latter name, however, is a name under which some of Malcolm J. Rymer's stories were published. For the novel under the name "Bertha Thorne Bishop" see Rymer.
