Deadwood Dick Library, No. 6

1899 · 42 pages

This April 1899 issue of the Half-Dime Library presents "Death-Face, the Detective; or, Life and Love in New York" by Edward L. Wheeler, author of the Deadwood Dick series. The catalog lists extensive back issues of Deadwood Dick Jr. novels (numbered 443–951), covering frontier adventures and urban mysteries across American locales from mining camps to major cities. The featured serial opens in Central Park at sunset, introducing Celia Orwick, a seventeen-year-old sewing girl, observed by the dandyish Dock Raymond. After Raymond leaves, a second suitor—the wealthy, imperious Ned St. Cloud, adorned in diamonds and gold—arrives. Celia, transformed from timid girl to cool schemer, confronts St. Cloud with an ultimatum: he must marry her that night, threatening exposure of compromising correspondence. The narrative balances romantic melodrama with urban intrigue and class tension between working-girl and gentleman seducer.
