AN INTENSELY EMOTIONAL ROMANCE.

The most . unrelenting , dislike springs from the hate engendered by spurned love. This is strikingly manifested in the powerful romance entitled — THE CURSE OF HER LIFE OR A DARK SECRET. Bj HELEN CORWIN PIERCE, Author of "At His Own Game," "Carrie Emerson Wilde," "Badly Matched," "The Cheated Bride," "Fair and Faithless," etc. The chief incident of this tantalizmgly mysterious story concern the strange actions of an engaged coupie who are seemingly devoted lovers. Suddenly their relatives and friends are astaunded by the report that for reasons unexplained the couple have agreed to break the engagement. In an amazingly brief time after this announcement the heroine becomes the bride of an elderly man, and the inference is that she was influenced by pique rather than attracted by the wealth of her new suitor. Her conduct in the matter is viewed with dismay and deep-seated enmity fay her early sweetheart, and from that moment he becomes THE CURSE OF HER LIFE. What he does to embitter her existence, and what heartlessly ingenious plans he contrives to steep her to the lips in the most: agonising unhappiness, is portrayed with f masterly vigor and pathetic earnest- [ ness.

This affecting story will be begun in the WAIRARAPA AGE on SATURDAY NEXT, December 12th.
