NEW SERIAL STORY

n * "A SNARE OF GOLD." e o Publication is commenced in our litert ary supplement this morning of a very i- fin new serial, entitled "A Snare of Gold."' d It is from the pen of J. J. Bell, the well--18 known author, whose former work, " Wee >- MacGregor," was so widely read,' and in ,r his latest effort Mr. Bell has given his * readers another interesting and diverting « story, which well sustains his reputation *- as a popular author. This new serial provides an inexhaustible fund of humour and romance, and the characters created are to the least imaginative wholly alive. T)*«| story is of particular interest to New Zfc.Wanders, the young hero of the plot, David Bethune, being a young colonial, who goes to London to make his way. lnadvertently he drops upon an old acquaintance of his father, who recognises l - him through a family resemblance. As the p'.ot unfolds David is drawn into a 1- financial intrigue, which was the result if of an illegal law practice carried on during • 3 his father's earlier life in London, which subsequently brought about his father's bankruptcy, and later his voyage to New Zealand. Readers of modern fiction should e not miss this splendid opportunity of is perusing a remarkably fine story, written with true literary skill.
