About this issue

This issue of The Seas Library (September 20, 1899, No. 28) is primarily a table of contents listing numerous installments of the "Deadwood Dick, Jr." series by Edward L. Wheeler, spanning entries 443 through 1018. The individual titles emphasize adventure and Western locales: "The Crimson Crescent Sign," "Dog Detective," "Death Hunt," "in Gotham," "Among the Smugglers," "at Coney Island," and similar episodic narratives. The featured complete story is "Jack Hoyle's Lead: The Road to Fortune" by Wheeler. Eighteen-year-old Jack Hoyle learns his parents have died and his father left the family insolvent, with their employer Addison Tremaine holding a five-year mortgage on all property. Rejected by Miss Lillian Lorne due to his reduced circumstances and mocked by Tremaine's son, Jack vows to rebuild his fortune through honest work. He leaves Lowell with sixteen cents, receiving encouragement from the rector Mr. Bond and his daughter Bessie.
