# Page Description This appears to be a story opening page from a pulp magazine titled "Dr Manchonche Steals," written by Billy Melton Jr. and illustrated by Hazel Goodwin Keeler and Charles Oglesby Longabaugh. The page features a dramatic illustration of a woman in 1920s style dress with the caption "My Jewels Are Gone," cried Maz. Hielton. Below the illustration, the story begins with dialogue establishing a mystery: Mr. Hielton has received a warning card from Mr. Crok, telling him to avoid a particular door. Shortly after, Mrs. Hielton's pearl necklace goes missing, and a mysterious hairy hand is reaching from a closet. The chapter ends with "CONTINUED IN CHAP 3," indicating this is chapter 2 of an ongoing serial crime story.
