Excerpt: ""Mr. Maxwell Kane!" The announcement was made by Nick Carter’s valet, Joseph, who threw open the door of his master’s study with a gesture as nearly approaching a flourish as any in which he ever permitted himself to indulge. Joseph had a wholesome respect for millionaires, and many a one of them came at one time and another to the detective for consultation; but it was rarely that Joseph admitted such a one as Maxwell Kane. It was a name which was an open sesame at all doors, however exclusive; it was the name of a man who counted his millions by hundreds-of a man who, notwithstanding his great wealth, still found time to be a good fellow; of an athlete, a sportsman-in short, and in a word, a gentleman. It was also the name of a man whom Nick Carter counted among his personal and intimate friends; but Joseph was not aware of that fact when he threw open the door and announced the caller. He had taken the card to his master a moment before, in his study, and had been directed to "show the gentleman here, Joseph"; and Joseph knew that only persons who were privileged, indeed, were ever permitted to penetrate to Nick Carter’s study."
