Beadle's Dime Novels No. 172: Despard, the Spy

1869 · 100 pages

This issue of Beadle's Dime Novels (No. 172) contains "Despard, the Spy; or, The Fall of Montreal" by W. J. Hamilton, a serialized adventure set during the French and Indian War period. The narrative opens with a cloaked gentleman named Despard rescuing Marie D'Arigny, a Montreal socialite, from three kidnappers on a dark street. After a sword fight and intervention by French musketeers, Despard safely delivers Marie home. In her parlor, Marie reveals she harbors secrets: her brother was murdered by an Indian called the Giant Chief, and she maintains contact with an English spy named Wilton, whom she loves. Despard, himself an Englishman posing as French, has been supplying the English with military intelligence for years. Wilton has sent Marie a coded message using three colored sticks (representing different military forces) hidden at a riverside location, indicating the approach of British regulars under Lords Rollo and Amherst. The story establishes themes of espionage, divided loyalties, and romance amid imperial conflict.
