Story papers such as The New York Weekly required an enormous amount of fiction to fill their multi-columned eight pages. In addition to several serials in various stages of completion, the papers also included a number of short stories, running one or two columns. Some writers merely contributed serials; others, only short stories; a few, such as Mrs. Collins, wrote both to maximize their income.
Mrs. E. Burke Collins was among the most prolific of the story papers contributors -- so prolific that it's hard to visualize the extent of her output when seen merely as a list. These pages offer another way of looking at her writing, by showing her publications on a weekly calendar, indicating continuing serials (which, for Mrs. Collins, usually involved three chapters per weekly installment) and short stories appearing in each issue.
