Attractive issue of this adventure weekly. Chromolithograph front wrapper shows a Victorian lady attacking a derby-hatted young man on a busy Manhattan street. Caption below reads: "To say that Alex was surprised would be a very mild way of describing his emotions as the woman gave him a resounding slap on the side of his head and face. He was dumbfounded. He knew who she was." Bright, colorful front wrapper graphics. A far better than average dime novel (actually, "Price 5 Cents") or "penny dreadful," with text printed in two columns.
