"The Loveless Isle" A Financier's Romance. STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOVE AND MONEY-MAKING OBSESSION. STORY OF A STRANGE INLAND It is well-known that the passion for accumulating wealth can exclude all other considerations, even after the moneymaker has acquired all he needs for a comfortable existence. As a result, men of finance often reach a position in which they have gained a substantial portion of the world, but have lost their own souls. It might have been thus with Russell Nairn. As a young man, returning from the war, he pitted his brain and his determined character against the older men of Lombard Street. At thirtysix he was a wealthy man, but he had sacrificed every other interest in life, and the passion for money-making had him so firmly in its grip that he financed a strange experiment, on a lonely island. But the vivacious young Pamela Langtrey, a student of music, refused to be impressed by his Napoleonic ambitions. Pamela was the only person who had the key to the human side of Nairn. In the end she rescued him from the gold fever which threatened to ruin him. It was a strange and fascinating fight. The story of it forms the plot of the highly original serial, THE LOVELESS ISLE* By NORMAN PENLEY, which is to begin in the "Auckland Star" SATURDAY NEXT. Begins on Saturday, Next.
