The capture of a smuggling craft by a revenue cutter off the Jamaica coast brings into view the hero of Mr. Adams’ story, a lad of twelve, the charge of the smugglers. Once separated from them, he is adopted and educated by a titled Englishman. From England the scene shifts to New York where young Stanley Deane espouses the cause of some much abused strikers whose plans brew within the four walls of the “Well.” He is convicted of murder, but cleared of the charge when the supposed victim dramatically appears and reads a serious lecture to the supporters of a police system that “makes justice a market place for the employment of incompetence and the enriching of pettifoggers.”
