1895 · 16 pages

This issue of *Beadle's Dime Novels* (June 18, 1895) features "The Girl Sport Pard" by Edward L. Wheeler, author of the *Deadwood Dick* series. The serialized story follows two adventurers—Simon Peters (called Simon Pure) and Nancy Jane (Nobby Nancy), who dress in masculine attire—as they meet by chance on a trail converging near a gulch. Suspecting mutual danger, they form a partnership and travel together to Flush Flats, a mining camp dominated by banker-mayor Richard Rashton. At the Odeon saloon-theater, a singer named Star Sterling recognizes Nobby Nancy and demands to know the whereabouts of an unnamed man they both seek. The confrontation escalates into a tense standoff with drawn pistols before the hall manager ejects them. The story blends frontier action with mystery elements.
