Western Story Magazine, October 2, 1926. This issue features the western serial "The Border Bandit's Indian Brother" by Max Brand, following Yellow Wolf, a Comanche warrior preparing for the warpath. The narrative details Yellow Wolf's meticulous preparations: ritual bathing in icy water, donning beaded moccasins and deerskin decorated with human hair from slain enemies, and inspecting his equipment—a Kentucky rifle regarded as "war medicine," hunting and war arrows with barbed heads, a buffalo-hide shield decorated with a yellow wolf figure, a fourteen-foot lance, and a medicine bag. After leaving his camp, Yellow Wolf follows instructions from his chief White Hawk, navigating a valley and discovering a log cabin with cattle and plowed fields—the latter viewed with tribal disapproval as a sign of white settlement requiring resistance. The issue also advertises Chelsea House's publication of "Ronicky Doone" by David Manning, featuring a gambler-adventurer traveling from the West to New York.
