Chapter 1

Edition: Indianapolis; The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1913.

Deuces Wild gives us a lovely girl, stolen pearls as priceless as the girl, true love, a hero who gets into no end of trouble and a villain who, it is to be hoped, gets into jail. All this in the space of 140 pages. So that things happen on every page, as should be the case in all good mystery stories. —from "Some Light Fiction" by Philip G. Hubert, Jr, in The Bookman, Jan 1914.
