The lirst chapter published last week is sufficient to show the public that it is a story of great interest, one that will gfow more and more absorbing as thf plot unfolds and the mystery surrounding the fortune of little Floren/e Cray, deepens.

There was a full house from thill time until the doors were closed atj a late hour. Those who had read the first instalment of the story in the paper that day were of course the better prepared to understand the pictures, but .the lilms created great interest for even those .who i?ud not read it. The second instalment appears in this issue. The first chapter published hist week left Florence Gray on her wav home from the1 school. It left the Butler in the Harp rave home tied hand and foot in ope of the darkest rooms of the maijBion. It left liar-| greave with a pupctured ballon in mid | ocean the resu]/ of a bullet fired at j 1 him by one of/the black hundred. It I left the whereabouts of the million i 1 dollars withdrawn the day before! from New York banks, by Hargreave. ^ to be guessed at (according to the fancy of the reader, a*nd thus begins the mystery which j grows deeper and 1 deeper as the story progresses. One of the most interesting features of] p I 1 the story as it will unfold will be the efforts of the black hundred, directed by Brain, to find this fortune and compel old Hargreuve to give it up without a struggle. jYou can imagine , the feelings of Fl0itence Gray when she arrives in New York onlv to r , find that the father iVhe had so longI od to sec during the eighteen years of 'her life, had'fled from the knowljiedge of map, and ryot daring to show k. himafiK' Thft **.1/1 .i.i." i j. iiv v/ivi , 'wnti, lip IU 'this time, has appeared kxo' be old and i devoid of high intelligence,'-will prove W be a valuable and trusted aid as ij'Wgll as the possessor of-a powerful ;1 rtiirid and deterifriuatkm. j 'Head the second chapter atfe^earing j in lids issue.
