| 520 | _a"A Desperate Chance; Or, The Wizard Tramp's Revelation, a Thrilling Narrative" by Old Sleuth is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Desmond Dare, a determined young man who seeks to save his impoverished family farm by entering a walking match and, along the way, becomes embroiled in a series of adventures alongside the enigmatic character known as the wizard tramp, Brooks. Their quest for fortune leads them to the rugged Rocky Mountains, where they encounter dangerous situations, valuable discoveries, and unexpected friendships. At the start of the narrative, Desmond and Brooks are found by a campfire in a secluded gulch, contemplating their misadventures and the uncertain future of their search for a gold mine. As they discuss their plans, they are approached by a solitary woodsman, who becomes another intriguing character in their story. Tension escalates when they realize Indian raiders are nearby. Desmond's determined spirit is highlighted when he refuses to abandon Brooks, even as they face risks and the daunting challenges of survival in the wilderness. The opening establishes an adventurous tone filled with suspense and camaraderie, setting the stage for the unfolding escapades of Desmond and his companions.
