Argosy-Allstory, October 6, 1923

This issue contains five continued serials spanning multiple genres. Kenneth Perkins' "Desert Voices" (part one of six) and Harry Sinclair Drago's "The Avenging Shepherd" (part three of six) appear to be Western narratives. Florence M. Pettee's "Marked Down" (part two of four) and Francis Lynde's "Cheddar Cheese" (part four of four) offer domestic storylines, while Isabel Ostrander's "Dust to Dust" (part five of six) presents a mystery. Short features include "So This Is Wedlock!" by John D. Swain, a comedic take on marriage; "The Head Chopper" by E. K. Means and "The Tusk of the Butcher" by Philip M. Fisher, Jr., likely crime or adventure tales; and Kenneth MacNichol's "Cave Man Stuff," suggesting primitive adventure. Albert Dornington's "Little Dark Ships" and Roland Krebs' "Liquor and Woman" round out the fiction. The issue includes poetry by Davenport, Irving, Thomas, Caruthers, and Baldwin. Next week introduces a new four-part serial, "The Opposing Venus," by J. U. Giesy and Junius B. Smith.
