Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jaws of Death
It was a miserable village of a single long street, and low at that, consisting in about equal proportions of a hotel, a dancing saloon, three American bars, a provision store, a shooting-gallery, and a Chinese laun dry. People said, those days, it was better to live in vain than to live in Cooper's Pike City. The inhabitants reckoned about forty men and three women; and so far as I could see they didn't appear to have a single im mortal soul among them./ Hallo! Said I, when I first set eyes on the town of Cooper's Pike; here's a pretty sort of place indeed for me to bring Edith to 1 And that reminds me that I'd better start fair at the very beginning, and tell you who I was, and who was Edith.
