The Title of Bidkk Haggabd's New Story is COLONEL QUABITCfiV V.C., And the Opening; Chapters will Appear in THE WEEKLY PRESS ON k FRIDAY, SEPT. X In this dramatic work, the author (4 "She" makes a new departure. Insteai of placing his characters in lands remote from civilisation and subjecting them to influences of the most remarkable and iujk precedented nature, he has here written an English treasure story of the preeeat day. The hero is a soldier iv the British ' ■ Army, a wearer of the Victoria Cross, whe returns home from the recent operations; in the Soudan, to exchange the perils and privations of warfare in the desert for » series of sensational incidents among pleasant Xnglish landscapes. The plot a well contrived; there la strong tndi. vidualisation in the characters; theeceuM are depicted with clearness and a warm slow of local color, while the main indcents are worked out with power. Not even in " Bang Solomon's Mines," whes entrance is effected into the myaterioui chamber, is the thrill greater than when Colonel Quaritch unearths the treasure hidden away from Cromwell's soldkta, the recovery of which saves an ancient house from ruin. In the domain of literature there fl scarcely an equal to the meteoric and bfr wildering success of Rideb Baogabd. Bβ was born in 1858 at Bradenham Hall Norfolk, and was destined by his parents —descendents of good old Norfolk familfai —for foreign service. Fortune led him fit accept a post on the staff of Sir Hear? - Bulwer in South Africa; he accompanied Sir Theophilus Shepstone in the 3&a* , vaal, and at the age of twenty-one Wβ ' appointed Master of the High Court Mara. Two years later he returned hoot and married In 1880 the only daughter of the late Major Margicon, of Dlbchlnghaia House, Norfolk, where he resides when not in London. With his wife he subsequently returned to the Transvaal, and quickly found his party driven into la&gtt by the triumphant Boers. Disgusted with the change of affaire in that country, RiDRR Haggard once more settled » London, was called to the Bar, and is now a practicing barrister. His first llterwy - ventures did not meet with much success.. and he passed through the trials ciou with unknown authors in his early efforts to secure publishers for "Cetewayo fc&a his White Neighbors," " Dawn," and "Tb« Witch's HeadT' " King Solomon's Mines, 1, written as a boys' book, was an lmmaJUU success, and ran out of print in a few dan. Since then bis name and books have become "familiar to our ears as household words." Thirty thousand copies of " She" were sold in a month, and each fresh work from his pen seems to create greater, ««n- , N Personally, Ridsb Haggard bu ' much to recommend him, and is as modes* and amiable as he Is gifted. He objects to being lionised, and carries hie honors witk an ease aad simplicity which win him friends wherever he goes. Without being ■ handbome, he is a fresh, comely-looking Englishman, with fair hair and frank blur eyes. He seldom appears in London, preferring to pass his days in tho qoift aeclusion of his native Norfolk. COLONEL ~Q x UARITCO V.G., Is the Latest Serial Story by H.
