SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. . _ J _ -I OUR NEW SERIAL, POWERFUL STORY BY A POPULAR NOVELIST. "AERONTOFBRASS." By FRED M. WHITE, Author of " Tho Crimson Blind," " Blackmail," "The Cardinal Moth," "Craven Fortune," " Tregarthen's Wife," "Tho Kobe of Lucifer," etc., etc. On Saturday irojt wc commence the publication of this striking'story in weekly instalments. The name, of Mr Fred. M. White has coma rapidly to tho front in latter years as a of first-class fiction in newspaper and magazine throughout tho Ene-ksh-speaking world. In "A Front of Brass" ha gives our readers of his best. It is .a drama of modern business life with a strain of thjit undying romance without which no narrative, however interesting, can touch or affect the human heart. Our readers will find, too, in Mr White's latest story a. gallery of fine characters, a virile audi strenuous hero, a heroine of individuality and charm, aird a villain who plavs the. fool, but who is in reality a man "of almost Mephistophelian ingenuity and cunning. , With such a caste and 'the author's well-known faculty for dramatic presentation, our readers will expect an uncommonly good storyj and wo venture to predict that they will bo satisfied. Hubert Grant is junior partner in tho firm of Spencer, Grart, and Scawdale. Ifo leaves all the financial details of their huge business to Paul Spencer, Iho senior partner, and trusts him implicitly. Grant has just bought Ledge Point, Spencer's beautiful house on the cliffs, and confides to his senior that ho is (so far secretly) encaged to May Lsverton, daughter of Sir Bruce Leyerton, _ a local magnate. Spencer smiles a sinister smile, and remi-wk Grant not only that his father onco did Love-rton a. bad turn, but also that there is bad fecliilsr between.the baronet and their firm. Spencer is called away by a telegram, which leaves him much pa-turfed. Ho a.;ks Grant to Jcok out for him that night if he does .not retiir.'. to the house. No sooner has Speiroor left than a visitor calls to sec him,. and Grant is astonished to find that the caller is no other than May Lsverton. She is confused on seeing her evades his eager questions. Sho tolls him, however,, that Spencer, his partner, is a bad man. Later on the pamo night Jemwr, the butler, gives Ik; alarm that there is a burglar' in the library, and I .that the burglar is a- woman. They rush I to. the library, fhe.lady burglar strikes a. light, and Grant recognises her. Quick as thought lie knocks the butler down and stuns him. Then switching oh tho Light, die asks May Leverion—-for it is no other— what she- is doing there. She is startledand distressed, and tells him that the secret is not her own. . This does not complete the tale of the amazing events of the story or even of that one eventful night. Tho aDrjearanco of the audacious Mr John Smith, of London, and tho tracic death and disappearance of Paul Spencer, all form part of the tangled web which the author so skilfuly weaves, and anon unravels for the onterfainiinont •laid delectation, of his many readers. In "A Front of Bras?" t.ho reader is not asked simply to dabble in the shallows of coincidcirae. Mr If. SI. White in his latest novel takes his readers out info tho deep waters of real life. This, his latest, story will, we are convinced, bo generally admitted to bs an iniprosssive arid absorbing piece- of fiction. ..'.,.
