Carter, Nicholas (House name)
Detective and mystery stories; New York (N.Y.) -- Fiction
Margie Marne received a goodly share of the Lamont wealth, and
afterward married, while Mulberry Billy, who played no insignificant
part in the Mother Flintstone affair, was placed beyond want by Margie,
who had formed an attachment for the boy.
It afterward turned out that Lewis Newell was a man who once persecuted
Opal with his attentions, and the girl, with the coolness of a Borgia,
decoyed him to his doom and thus began her career of crime.
Carter was highly complimented upon the result of his last trail, but
he will never forget his adventure in the dungeon to which he had been
decoyed by the daughter of the millionaire, nor the coolness with which
she met the terrible charge he brought home to her under her own roof.
THE END.
The title of the next volume of THE NEW MAGNET LIBRARY, No. 836, is
“The Heart of the Underworld,” by Nicholas Carter. The story leads you
through dark and devious ways of crime, through a labyrinth of mystery
and apparent defeat, out upon the broad highway of justice--where crime
is punished and wrongs are righted. The great detective is the guide
through this maze, and those who follow him in his perilous adventures
will find themselves thrilled from start to finish.
