A pleasing and perplexing mystery, which is adroitly suggested and artistically sustained, forms the mainspring of a plot of a story of sterling merit which we are to begin in the Nkw Zealand Herald 011 SATURDAY NEXT, October 24. It bears the title of NAMELESS DELL. BY MRS. GEORGIE SHELDON, Author of " Brownie's Triumph," " Trixie," " The Forsaken Bride," &c. In Mrs. Sheldon's stories there is something more than the portrayal of romantic incidents. There is always an end in view—a purpose. In the story at present under consideration, tha author encouragingly demonstrates that to an ■ spiring and determined heart the lowly surroundings of poverty are not fiu imp issablo barrier—that the misfortunes of ignorance and vicious training may be overcome —that the girl'whom treachery had marked for A LITTLE DRUDGE, was the personification of that ambition which, backed by unceasing perseverance, is sure of its ultimate reward. • ' A moat ingenious plot, stirring incidents, ably drawn and well contrasted characters, and numerous startling surprises, are conspicuous features in the this well-told story. The opening Instalment of "Nameless Dell," will be given oil SATURDAY, October 24. ,
