The Secret of Emu Plain by L.T. Meade — Read

THIS exceedingly clever story is the sequel to the adventures of John Bell, the ghost exposer, related for us by Mrs. Meade last year, under the title of "A MASTER OF MYSTERIES". Some of our readers will remember that Mrs. Meade spoke then of one mystery which John Bell had not been able to fathom. The above story of Emu Plain is the mystery in question. That which John Bell could not explain is, however, known to the authors of the adventure. We suggest that our readers attempt to solve the mystery themselves, and we will award Ten Prizes of One Guinea each to the ten solutions which, in Mrs. Meade's opinion, are the best sent to us. These solutions, marked "STORY PRIZE," and addressed to the Editor of CASSELL'S MAGAZINE, La Belle Sauvage, London, E.G., must reach us on or before February 15th. We shall publish Mrs. Meade's explanation of the mystery in our April Number. No person may send more than one solution of the story, and no solution must exceed 300 words in length.
