Inspired by a...

    NICK CARTER AT THE TRACK, OR, HOW HE BECAME A DEAD GAME SPORT
    NICK CARTER
    Excerpt: "“And so, you see, I stand to lose twenty thousand dollars.” “That’s a large sum.” “Yes, Mr. Carter, it’s a large sum; but a middle-aged gentleman like yourself ought to be aware that risks are sometimes forced upon people who handle money in large sums.” The celebrated detective smiled as he looked into the excited countenance of the Wall Street man before him.

    Excerpt: “A man and a woman together; then a man alone.” Nick Carter thought this remark rather than uttered it in words, as he came to an abrupt pause in his walk and looked down upon the tracks in the snow. There were no other tracks than those anywhere visible, save only his own, which he had made in his approach to the spot, and he was careful not to approach too near while...

It was Patsy Garvan, Nick Carter’s second assistant, and he who was addressed was the great New York detective himself. The closest friends would have known neither of them, however, unless they had been in the secret, for b...

Chick Carter, the celebrated detective’s chief assistant, sat watching him, noting each changing expression on his strong, clean-cut face, and wondering what occasioned it. It was about nine o’clock one evening in October, and both detectives were...

Don’t you run onto it while I’m in the car, not if it’s a live one. You may fancy absorbing the output of an electric-lighting plant, but not for mine, Danny, not for mine!

    FOLLOWING A CHANCE CLEW
    NICK CARTER
    Nick Carter read the sign over the jeweler’s store on Eighth Avenue and stopped to glance critically at the place. He noticed that the “regulator” indicated midnight.

The robbery had been charged to a mysterious crook known as Doc Helstone, who was supposed to b...

    Excerpt: "“Oh, I say, old top!” Nick Carter stopped short and looked at the speaker. There was no mistaking his nationality. He was English to the bone. English in aspect, attitude, attire, and accent. English of the most pronounced and impressive type—but impressive upon as keen and thoroughbred an American observer as the famous New York detective chiefly because of the insip...
