Stringer, Arthur. [Phantom wires.] †$1.50. Little.
7–12004.
A continuation of the fortunes of the wire tappers who married hastily and left New York strong in the resolution to abandon their questionable methods of gaining a livelihood. Abroad, luck seems to turn against them and once more Durkin turns his electrical engineering skill to account, locates valuable papers and turns burglar. The adventures which he and his clever wife share are quite as novel as they are thrilling.
“We regard it as distinctly inferior to the author’s former story.”
