Attractive issue of this adventure weekly. Chromolithograph front wrapper shows a storefront exploding as two young men shield themselves from the blast and a shadowy figure runs. Caption below reads: "They took very little notice of the tough. But Joe saw him wheel around and throw something inside of the store to the farther end and then run. The next moment a frightful explosion followed and the little store was a wreck!" Fun and colorful front wrapper graphics. A far better than average dime novel (actually, "Price 5 Cents") or "penny dreadful," with text printed in two columns.
