About this issue

This November 1899 issue of the Half-Dime Library contains two stories. The primary narrative is "Wild Frank, the Buckskin Bravo; or, Lady Lily's Love," by Edward L. Wheeler, author of the Deadwood Dick series. On a moonlit night near Powder River, a seventeen-year-old frontier scout named Wild Frank discovers a mortally wounded man sheltering a two-year-old girl named Myrtle. The dying stranger entrusts the child to Wild Frank, giving him an ebony box containing proof of her identity. After the man expires, Wild Frank assumes guardianship of the girl. The second narrative, titled "A Wife's Unfaithfulness," shifts to London, where Lord Mt. Morey confronts Sir Ralph Revere at his bank with allegations that Mt. Morey has been visiting Sir Ralph's wife Isabel at their residence in Lynn Place while her husband works. Mt. Morey claims Isabel solicited his visits, complaining her husband's income cannot support her social ambitions.
