THE LUST OF HATE.

; GREAT WAR SERIAL. u> have been especially fortunate in securing an unusually dramatic and bril- | liant serial to follow on the popular "The Marriage of Kettle.'It is the la tost work of ALAN H. BUKGOYNE, author of "The War Inevitable." ■•Traj falgar Re-fought., et<-., who is M.P. for North Kensington. His travels have been world-wide, and he is acquainted in specially intimate fashion with the Far East. Few writers can lay claim to having toured Manchuria on foot, and during the Russo-.lapanese war. in 1903, he went through the unpleasant experience of being arresle.l at Port Arthur on a I false charge of sv-pionage. so that a simi- ! lar incident in his latest book is literally ! true to life. Mr. Burgoyne is an acknow- | ledged expert in naval matters, and is the i author of the standard work on sub- ! marine navigation. j With a view to allowing our readers to j gain some idea of the scope and possibilities of '• THE LUST OF HATE, - ' we publish the following DESCRIPTIVE SYNOPSIS At a well-known hotel in Portsmouth. ' frequented by naval men, a dispute takes place between some officers and a Ger- , man, on the subject of Britain's attitude . in relation to the expected war between i Holland and Denmark. Among the com- i pany are Lieutenant John Martin ana ' his chum Foster, who is engaged to Mar- ■ tins sister liazel. The two men, return- ! ing home by motor ear. are tired upon , after having called at a lonely cottage on the way to deliver a package of letters to their late antagonist, the (ierman yon Holbach. Their chauffeur is killed, and after hours of delay they arrive at Martin's house only to find that Hazel has gone hastily off with Captain yon Holbach. who has come with a plausible tale of her brother and lover hurt in a motor accident. The young men scent a deep laid. plot, and their attempt to track Hazel and her abductor takes them to Germany, and plunges them into till thick of the war which has now broken j out. Vividly the story show? how Gpi- ' main soon meets England hand to hand. ■ and the two officers play a part in all the expiring scenes of ti;e war. many of ' whien take place on English grounJ. J Haze-!':? lover, equal to and einersjencv. : never doubling his ultimate success, is as good a type of the British naval officer as is Martin, whose love story, though quite as full of interest, runs a much calmer course. One adventure succeeds another, and the story goes full speed ahead to a triumphant conclusion. j Opening chapters, ] ON SATURDAY, MAY 4,
