NEW SERIAL We are pleased to be able to anvnounce that wo have secured for serial p\iblication in the "Star" the latest romance from the pen of Guy Boothby. This author is now so well known to the fiction reading public that it is unnecessary to dilate on the interesting nature of all his stories. "THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS." is at least equal to anything that he has produced for sometime. _ _ Godfrey Henderson, a promising young artist, is introduced by his friend Victor Fensden, also an artist, to a beautiful Italian girl named Teresina, whom he persuades to sit to him as a model. She is a charming sitter, imd all seems to go well till Fensden suggests to Godfrey that Teresina is falling in love with him. By the death of a relative Godfrey inherits a large fortune, and at once starts with his friend on a tour, which lands them in Egypt. He receives there a letter from Teresina, giving an address in Naples. On his return he seeks her out, and narrowly escapes assassination at the hands of one of her admirers.'' The scene then changes to Detwich Hall, where. Godfrey is seen installed as a country gentleman, and succumbing gradually to the charms of Margaret Devereux, the daughter of the county magnate. At a meet of the County Hunt, this young lady's horse bolts. Godfrey spurs after her in an agony of apprehension. Miss Devereux is thrown, but little hurt, and in the romantic circumstances Godefrey declares his passion, and is accepted. He meets Teresina in London, and learns that she has been in some trouble, but she refuses an offer of assistance. He takes her home in a cab, but does not go into the house. As Teresina enters her room in the darkness*, she is stabbed to death by an unknown assassin. More it would be inadvisable to tell. Suffice it to say that the complications of the plot and stirring nature of thet episodes ensure the popularity of the work. The "Mystery of the Clasped Hands" will commence in the "Star" Supplement NEXT SATURDAY.
