Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Written in Red or the Conspiracy in the North Case, (a Story of Boston)
Nicaragua Midland was a Speciality with North 8: Stackhouse. In season and out of season, Nicaragua Midland had been boomed with a persistency that caused some of the older magnates of the street to Shake their heads ominously, but which had attracted, nevertheless, the admiration and co-operation of a multitude of people.
Not all who invested their earnings under the 'advice of North Stackhouse had, it is true, found the venture profitable.
But, for the most part, the losers had borne their ill fortune manfully, without complaining. Few angry outbursts from disappointed patrons had disturbed the optimistic hopes Of the bright-eyed Speculators, who, month after month, had made the rooms of these State Street bankers and brokers their favorite haunt.
