CHAINED BY A LEGACY
Nancy Hylton, a bright-eyed, healthy-minded English girl, is about as carefree as a girl can be, until an elderly lover—probably in his dotage— chooses to fetter her movements with a string of emeralds worth many thousands of pounds. She must on no account lose sight of these emeralds; she cannot even bank them; she must show them weekly to the lawyer, Joseph Gregory. How many thousands of pounds is freedom worth? Twice she is shot at. ATidnight prowlers haunt the woods surrounding her home. How long is this to go on? One feels tempted to advise Nancy to hand over the “stones of happiness,” as some term emeralds, to Joseph Gregory, with no absurd conditions attached thereto. Fortunately these emeralds bring to their owner what emeralds all the world over are supposed to do—a faithful lover. We can confidently commend this story to the attention of our readers. Read “JEWELS OF MALICE,” By the well-known writer, ELLIOT BAILEY, It will begin publication in The Sun Tomorrow.
