OUR NEW STORY.
r The numerous admirers of that immensely popular sensational writer St George Rathborne will next Friday ihave the pleasure of perusir g the first instalment of another new romance from his vigorous and experienced pen, under the title of THE MYSTERY OF THE FORGOTTEN CiTY, j -' Or, Dr. JACK'S WIDOW. : By ST. GEORGE RATHBONE, i Some of the characters that figured prominently in the remarkably successful story of "Captain Jack" have been transferred to the pages of this ikew romance, and appear to as much advantage in the mysterious quest .undertaken by Captain Jack's Widow. .They have been transported to the soil of China, and their novel and exciting experiences among the inhabitants of the-. Flowery Kingdom are depicted with' force and vivacity. There is ■plenty of spirited action, and, in the expressive slang of the day, "there is something doing" in every chapter, from the moment the curtain arises until the dramatic denouement.
At the present moment the eyes of the world are turjied on China, and therefore the romance of "Captain Jack's Widow" possesses a timely interest, especially as some of the most effective scenes transpire within the walls of the Forbidden City. The opening chapter will appear in our issue of FKIDAY NEXT, APPJL 19.
