"WHEN THE EARTH SHOOK”

MR. GRAEME-HOLDER’S LATEST STORY The most thrilling descriptive narrative of an earthquake is contained in Mr. W. Graeme-Holder’s absorbing story, “When the Earth Shook,” which, will be published in serial form in the Stratford “Evening Post,” commencing on Monday next. The scene is laid in Taranaki, and moves rapidly to Hawke’s Bay and back again in. the development of the plot, and it can be said it will hold the interest to the last line. The scene is, set in places we all know, and the characters are every-day people who behave convincingly. Although it is a New Zealand story Mr. Holder does not turn to burlesque, and there is nothing of the “On Our Slection” type about it. Nox* is there an undue striving after effect and extravagant plot. Mr. Holder has taken an every-day incident and developed it. with skill, and carries his reader on until'the end, which, though unexpected, is rational. Begin this great story on Mofflay, and read each succeeding day’s longinstalment. You will await each chapter with absorbing interest. 1
