About this issue

This issue of Wheeler's Half-Dime Library (No. 33, March 15, 1899) is chiefly occupied by Tony Fox, the Ferret; or, Boss Bob's Boss Job, by Edward L. Wheeler, author of the "Deadwood Dick" series. The serialized story opens in Philadelphia during the Centennial year with a deathbed scene: a dying mother entrusts her infant to Felice, a Frenchwoman, but a villainous man intercepts them, offering money for the baby's drowning and the mother's corpse for medical students. Felice agrees. However, Boss Bob, a resourceful bootblack, witnesses the woman depositing the bundled infant into a rowboat and pushing it into the Delaware River. Realizing her intent, he resolves to rescue the child. The issue also includes a catalog listing numerous Deadwood Dick, Jr. novels available in the series, priced five cents per copy.
