Excerpt: ''Mr. Maxwell Kane!' The announcement was made by Nick Carter's valet, Joseph, who threw open the door of his master's study with a gesture as nearly approaching a flourish as any in which he ever permitted himself to indulge. Joseph had a wholesome respect for millionaires, and many a one of them came at one time and another to the detective for consultation; but it was rarely that Joseph admitted such a one as Maxwell Kane.

It was also the name of a man whom Nick Carter counted among his personal and intimate friends; but Joseph was not aware of that fact when he threw open the door and announced the caller. He had taken the card to his master a moment before, in his study, and had been directed to 'show the gentleman here, Joseph'; and Joseph knew that only persons who were privileged, indeed, were ever permitted to penetrate to Nick Carter's study.'
