THE MELTING POT;
Or, NICK CARTER AND THE WALDMERE PLATE.
Edited by CHICKERING CARTER.
CHAPTER I.

The speaker was Nick Carter. His voice, though somewhat under ordinary pitch, had a subtle and ominous ring. There was a threatening glint in the eyes he had fixed upon the face of the man he addressed.
It was a striking and impressive face, nearly as strong and impressive as that of the famous detective—but for directly opposite reasons.
