American adventure story from 'the celebrated stories of Nick Carter's adventures, conceded to be among the best detective tales ever written.' Excerpt: ''Mr. Venner, sir?' 'Mr. Venner-yes, certainly. You will find him in his private office-that way, sir. The door to the right. Venner is in his private office, Joseph, is he not?' 'I don't think so, Mr. Garside, unless he has just returned. I saw him go out some time ago.' 'Is that so? Wait a moment, young man.' The young man halted, and then turned back to face Mr. Garside, with an inquiring look in his frank, brown eyes. 'Not here, sir, do I understand?' he asked, politely. Mr. Garside shook his head. He was a tall, slender man of forty, and was the junior partner of the firm of Rufus Venner & Co., a large retail jewelry house in New York City, with a handsome store on Fifth Avenue, not far from Madison Square. It was in their store that this introductory scene occurred, and proved to be the initiatory step of one of the shrewdest and most cleverly executed robberies on record.'
