The numerous admrrors of Mrs. GEOROIE Sheldon's unique and fascinating stories will be glad to learn that a fresh story from her indus. trious pen will be begun in the NEW ZEALAND HERALD, ON" SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, Under the title of WITCH H A 'Z E L ; OR, J THE SECRET OF THE LOCKET. BY MRS. GEORGIE SHELDON. Author of "Brownie's Triumph," "The Forsaken Bride," £c. Two or three entrancing mysteries, around which the main events of the story revolve, are graphical!) and entrancingly outlined in the early chapters. So cleverly is this done, so admirably are the characters portrayed, and their speech and action made to indicate their individualities, that at once curiosity and interest are aroused, and the reader becomes absorbed in the constantly varying and adroitly developed scenes of this perfect LIFE DRAMA Mrs. Sheldon possesses the uncommon gift; of being able to entertain her readers without transgressing probability. Her characters seem endowed with the warmth of life, and" the incidents in which they participate are never forced or unnatural, and therefore possess the charm of reality. There arf triking scenes in this well-con-structed story— upon which the reader will love to linger, especially when their bearing upon the denouement is understood. Perhaps the more dramatic are those succeeding WITCH HAZEL'S ACCUSATION, when Helena Stewart, a vindictive young woman, tortured by envy and jealousy, originates A PLOT TO REMOVE A RIVAL. Charged with an infamous deed, circumstantial evideuce 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 the 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 tempestnously tossed hither and thither on Love's capricious current. &&' This unique and vigorous Story will be begun on SATURDAY, October -20.
