Y The numerous admirers of Mrs. GEORGIE Sheldon's unique and fascinating stories will be glad to learn that a fresh story from her industrious pea will be begun m che NEW ZEALAND HERALD, ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, Under the title of WITCH HAZEL; OR, THE SECRET OF THE LOCKET. BY MRS. GEORGIE SHELDON. Author of "Brownie's Triumph," "The Forsaken iiride," Ac. Two or three entrancing mysteries, around tho main events of the story revolve, are graphically and entrancingly outlined in the early chapters. So cleverly is this done, so admirably are the characi ters portrayed, and their speech and action made I to indicate their individualities, that at once curioI sity and interest are aroused, and the reader beI eomes absorbed in the constantly varying and ■ adroitly developed scenes of this perfect ! LIFE DRAMA ' Mrs. SHELDON possesses tho uncommon gift of be- . lug able to entertain her readers without transgress- ! ing probability. Her characters seem endowed I with tho warmth of life, anil the incidents in which ! they participate are never forced or unnatural, and I therefore possess the charm of reality. ! There are many striking scenes in this well-con- ! structed story—scenes upon which the reader will love to linger, especially when their bearing upon J the denouement is understood. Perhaps the more ! dramatic are those succeeding ! WITCH HAZEL'S ACCUSATION, ' when Helena Stewart, a vindictive young woman, J tortured by envy and jealousy, originates A PLOT TO REMOVE A RIVAL. Charged with an infamous deed, circumstantial evidence has woven its web about the bewildered Hazel, and she is about to suffer the degradation of conviction, when AN UNEXPECTED WITNESS suddenly appears upon the scene, and astounds the spectators, as well as confounds the plotter, by revealing THE SECRET OF THE LOCKET. Besides being a superb romance of progressive action, in which the development of tke characters is a prominent feature, it is also a captivating love story. And so dexterously are Cupid's episodes managed, that the reader is frequently perplexed as ' to the final disposition of the personages who are ' tempestuously tossed hither and thither on Love's capricious current. I 4ST Tin's unique and vigorous Story will be begun • on SATURDAY, October 2a
