The Day of Days

In New York a young man has his day of days, when in twelve short hours he breaks the bank at a gambling-house, is held up for his winnings at the pistol’s point, escapes during a raid, enters a private residence, saves its mistress from murder at her husband’s hands, and plays no small part in events at a fashionable masquerade ball and in the deadliest dive in New York–all of which has its bearing on the plot of the story in which little Mr. Sybarite saves the girl he loves from the machinations of a rascally trio.
