A BRILLIANT AND SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPER NOVEL, BY THE PRINCE OF LIVING NOVELISTS. We have unbounded satisfaction in making known to our Subscribersand through them to the Public generally—the fact that we have secured for original publication in the columns of the NEW ZEALAND HERALD a New and Splendid Story by that master of the art of story-telling—WlLKlE COLLlNS—universally admired as the Author of "The Woman in White" and other fictional works scarcely less popular. The Title of his New and Enthralling Romance is rjIHE OF £<AIN, and we anticipate its popularity will surpass any of the famous works by this author, which are thoroughly familiar to English-speaking people the wide world over. From a perusal of the early portion of "The Legacy of Cain," we can assure our readers that the Story is of a most absorbing character. The opening chapter introduces us to a scene in a condemned cell, where a wretched woman about to pay the law's greatest penalty, after harrowing the feelings of her spiritual adviser by her callous and indifferent conduct, promises to hearken to his appeals on condition that he grants her one re quest—a request referring to her hapless babe, then sleeping peacefully on the prison pallet. Anxious beyond measure to save the guilty woman's soul and lead her to repentance, the Minister hesitates for a moment, and a powerful scene is brought to a climax by the murderess throwing herself at his feet, beseeching him to remember how quickly time is passing and how small are her hopes of salvation. We refer our readers with confidence to the Story itself.
