LOST! A KINGDOM!

Where Is It? Who Can Find It? The Lost Kingdom of Drussenland. Somewhere in the mountain fastness it lies. Those who try to locate it by reading the swiftly moving story of “The Knight, of the Silver Star,” by Percy Brebner, will be rewarded by knowing that they have read a really picturesque narrative and one of the most griping serials in modern fiction.

One man found this mysterious realm—though he had to ride on the heaving top of an avalanche to do it. Clinton Verrall is worth traveling with into the land hidden snugly from the world where knights of the lance and ladies fair dwell as in the age of chivalry. 'Verrall and his lady love, none Other .than the famed Princess Daria, faced by powerful enemies, enmeshed in the intrigue of their foes, attacked, conspired against and imprisoned—suffered as few lovers ever have done. And the result? Read for yourself. Those who crave adventure will ■have no cause to complain of this story. Let me show you the account of the conflicts between Verrall and the false Vasca. Come with me through the secret passageway to watch the death struggle between Verrall and Vasca, and to witness the escape of the imprisoned heroine. “Strike, and strike deep,” she cries to her arch foq. in a moment of despair, craving death. That is just what the story does. It strikes, and it strikes deep. The story has been superbly illustrated in line by Frank Parker, who has a country wide reputation. The opening chapters of this splendid new serial will appear in next Saturday’s Democrat.
