About this issue

Issue No. 16 of the Criterion Series (August 1895) presents Mrs. Bob, a novel by St. George Rathborne, also author of Dr. Jack. This adventure narrative spans four books and thirty-two chapters, following Bob Pemberton, a Wall Street man from New York, through wilderness perils and urban machinations. The plot begins when Pemberton, lost in western woods, encounters a panther and is mysteriously saved by an unseen marksman. Subsequently he becomes entangled with Miss Gordon's forest lodge, Senator John, and various schemes involving figures such as Monsieur Merle described as a "Wizard," and Joe Hooker. The narrative progresses from wilderness settings through Denver—where themes of deception and magic-show trickery emerge—to New York locations including Gordon Manor, Fifth Avenue hotels, and the Alhambra Flats. Characters navigate questions of identity, inheritance, and romantic entanglement across these settings.
