    In one of the stateliest mansions on the lower Hudson, near New York, old Stanford Marvin, president of the Marvin Motors Company, dozed over his papers, while Owen, his confidential secretary, eyed him across the mahogany flat−topped desk. A soft purring sound floated in the open window and half−roused the aged manufacturer. It came from one of hi...

    Old Mr. Marvin's faculties returned with a snap. There was the library just as it had been before his peculiar seizure. His son Harry was summoning on the telephone Dr. Stevens, the heart specialist, and Pauline, his adopted daughter, was on her knees chafing his hands and anxiously watching his face, while Owen, the secretary, was pouring out a do...

    By Pauline Marvin. It was not the biggest feature by any means, but it was quite a little story, and there were several large stirring illustrations. Both men begged her to read it to them, but she modestly declined. Mr. Marvin adjusted his spectacles and read it through from start to finish, frequently looking up to compliment the author...

    “All right, I'll do it,” growled Harry Marvin, with the air of a martyr going to the stake. “I'll do it for your sake, Polly.” “Well, you'd better begin to get ready,” said Pauline blithely. “I'll climb into a frock coat and endure an hour or two of this afternoon tea chatter,” promised Harry, “but first you must talk sense with me for a ...

    Harry Marvin entered the little private garage back of the Marvin mansion, locked the door and drew the shades of the small windows. There were only two automobiles in the garage. One was the big six cylinder touring car in which Pauline and Owen had made their trip the day before to the aviation field. The other was the two−seated runabout that Ha...

    AA sort of false quiet, like the calm that broods between storms, kept all serene at the Marvin mansion for a week after the aeroplane catastrophe. Little had been seen of Harry, who was busy with directors' meetings and visits to the factories. Owen had read with alarm of rumors that some one had tampered with a wire of the wrecked biplane. But if...

    Excitement and activity pervaded the house. Sunday and Monday every one, including Harry, soon knew that Pauline was to take Tuesday's steamer to Old Nassau, in the Bahamas. Harry intended to quietly board the steamer a little earlier than Pauline and surprise the party by appearing after the ship was well out to sea. His plans were' shattered by t...

    Two weeks later Pauline and Harry were sitting in the library. Through the half−closed blinds a soft breeze bore to them the fragrance of carnations and roses. For the first few days after their return Pauline was so thankful they had not lost their lives that she was reconciled to not having found the treasure. But only for the first few days...

    AA flutter of polite alarm attended Signor Baskinalli's invitation. From the sheltered glitter of a Fifth avenue drawing room to Chinatown was a plunge a little too deep. But Baskinelli was insistent and Pauline was his ardent and efficient recruiting officer. Quite a troop train of limousines carried the invaders to the uncelestial haunt...

    For several months after old Mr. Marvin's death, Owen had kept to his cubby−hole room adjoining the financier's small, plain−furnished, workaday office. But recently he had got the habit of doing his work in the library, where the tall, pure statues looked down upon his skulking head and the grand old books that had borne their messages of good fro...

    Signor Panatella, the famous Italian Aeronaut, will make parachute drop from height never before attempted.” The ascension was to be made that afternoon from one of the amusement parks on the New Jersey shore of the Hudson. “This is Providence,” he muttered to himself, catching up the dodger. Slipping through the door and up the stairs, h...

    “Yes —met her at the Trocadero a week ago. She'd seen old Calderwood already. I guess she blackmails him —the old reprobate, and him the noble counselor at law for Mr. Harry Marvin!” “So you put her on the scent —for us?” “Why not? The young fellow's been acting suspicious for a long time.” “You did very well.” “How about some m...

    “Wonder what he thinks he can do,” growled Hicks as they sat in the runabout and watched Harry pass them. “Trying to break his own neck —for nothing,” replied Owen. “If he keeps up that speed we'll get both birds with one sand bag.” “I hope so. He didn't speak, did he? You can see by the way he acts he don't want us around —even now.” ...

    To young Bassett, of The American, the excitement of existence, since he became a reporter and joined the jehus of the truth wagon, had consisted mainly of “chasing pictures” in the afternoons and going to strings of banquets at night. He had no more enthusiasm for photographs than he had for banquets. Word painting and graining was his art. And so...

    “I tell you, Harry, I can't endure it. I couldn't face anyone I know. I want to run away —far, far away, where nobody ever heard of balloons or automobiles, or me.” “Polly, you aren't afraid of a little talk, are you? Everyone is saying how brave you were, and, here, when the danger's over, I find you a flimsy little coward!” She picked u...

    Miss Pauline Marvin Has Remarkable Experience After Accident on Palisades. Harry laughed and patted her hand reassuringly. “Oh, but that's only one of them,” wailed Pauline. “Look at this one:

    “Can any woman live after that,” she cried. “Why, it's no crime to be lost in a balloon,” said Harry. “See, they tell it just as it was —they make you a real heroine.” “A man might live it down, dear, but a woman, never! To be 'lost in the sky' is altogether too giddy. Margaret!” she called. The maid stepped quickly forward. “Yo...

    Hal Haines' best driving team was lathered with foam and the buckboard swung through the gate on two wheels as Bill Cabot drove back to the Double Cross Ranch. The young cowboy whom Haines had ordered to carry the news of disaster to Mrs. Haines, seeing the buckboard and only Cabot driving, knew instantly that something had gone wrong. “W...

    As the thrilled and frightened Indian lay prostrate at her feet, he might well have believed her to be some creature from another world. Her face was very pale and round it fell in tumultuous glory the cascades of her golden hair. Her dress was torn to shreds by the jagged rocks and there was blood upon the delicate hands that she held out in ...

    AA few days after their return from Montana Pauline sat reading by the library window. They had come late to the country this Summer and the park of Castle Marvin had had time to leave and bloom into utter splendor. It was like a flowery kingdom in the Land of Faery, and as her eyes were lifted listlessly now and then from the printed page, they ro...

    Harry had just hung up the receiver of the telephone and had turned to Pauline with feigned disappointment. “My office is calling me,” he said. “I'm needed there at once. I shan't be able to go to the wedding.” The sight of the happiness fading from her flowerlike face filled him with shame. It was the first time in his life that he had l...

    “That's right; praise her; pet her; make her think she's great, so she'll do it all over again.” Harry turned away wrathfully from the joyous greetings of Lucille and Chauncey Hamlin to Pauline. “Harry is quite right,” said Lucille. “I ought to snub you entirely. It is disgraceful, it's wicked to be as brave as you are, Polly.” “Oh, ...

    World−Famous Horses of Late Millionaire Sportsman Under Hammer. “Well?” questioned Harry. “Don't you see?” she tantalized him. “Not in the least.” “I am going to buy Firefly and ride him in the steeplechase handicap.” Harry's smile was almost despairing, but he answered quickly. “Oh, I see. You'll have me ride him and break...

    Cries of delight coming, in the voice of Pauline, from the direction of the garage made Harry lay down his newspaper and go forth to investigate. As he approached he saw Bemis and Lucille's coachman lifting a crate from a carriage. From within the crate came the whimpering barks of an imprisoned bull terrier. “Oh, isn't he dear?” cried Pa...

    The proceedings behind the hidden doors in the cellar of the ruined house between Bathwater and Castle Marvin were not interrupted by so small a matter as the kidnapping of an heiress —a kidnapping that had progressed no further as yet than the capture of a dog. As Owen stepped into the den the next forenoon he saw the bull terrier tied to the...

    “Well, prove it,” said Harry. “Show me that you mean it!” “Why, Harry, what a woman says she, always means.” “Always means not to do.” “But, Harry, really I'm going to be good this time,” pleaded Pauline. They were emerging from the gate of the Marvin mansion to the avenue, and as Harry turned to Pauline with a skeptical reply o...

    Pauline had barely time to recognize in her new captors the four strange men who had attracted her attention on the train, before a bandage was drawn over her eyes, another over her mouth, and cruel, heavy hands began to bind her limbs. As she listened to the rough voices of the men, the mystery of the “Carson Brown” letter was entirely cleare...

  7. Nov 5, 2021 · My latest serial binge watch was the 1933 version of The Perils Of Pauline, which other than the title has nothing to do with the original 1914 serial. The silent Perils Of Pauline is what marketeers call a category definer, and along with Flash Gordon doubtlessly the most famous serial character of all time.
