AWAITING NICK CARTER. While these events were transpiring in Chicago the New York chief of police was being interviewed by a woman who had a most remarkable story to tell. So remarkable, indeed, that the chief persuaded his caller to defer any action till Nick Carter returned home. The result was that when Nick reached his office he found this note awaiting him: “Please call and see Miss Louise Templin at the St. James Hotel.
