"THE DARK AVENUE."

THE SERIAL OF THE HOLT?. The title is certainly an attractive one for a serial story; it is suggestive of mystery and adventure. But i£ Fergus Hume hae been fortunate in his selection of a title, he lives up to it in the thrilling interest of the story, that is as good as anything that this favourite writer has given us since he first jumped into fame with that classic of sensational fiction "The Mystery of a Hansom Oab." The novel concerns itself with the succession to Beysham Abbey, and the writer keeps the reader in a constant mo.ntal turmoil as to the author and meaning of the mysterious events with which the historic dark avenue is associated.
