# Page Analysis: 10-Story Detective Magazine This page contains **story prose with interspersed vintage advertisements**. The main narrative appears to be a hardboiled crime story in which a sheriff confronts a criminal who has locked him and another character (Davis) in a closet. The crook threatens them, claiming he will burn down the house and steal valuables. Davis negotiates for their lives, and the criminal agrees to leave, though Davis suspects the man has hidden most of his stolen money and jewels elsewhere. The page also features period advertisements for beauty products, mail-order glasses, a "Blue Book" guide, and other products typical of early pulp magazine era publications.

That’s better than being plugged.” Montague tottered toward _ the closet and went inside. The crook laughed, turned the key and left it in the door. Then he gestured with his gun and Davis walked out of the house carrying that heavy box. The crook kept the business end of his gun pointed at the sheriff’s back. Davis said, “Just what do you in- tend to do, Spats? I know you don’t mean to allow either Dr. Montague or myself to live. No one knows I came here. No one can trace these crimes to you.” The crook chuckled. “You’re a pretty smart bird, sheriff. Yep—too smart, so I'll give it to you, cold. I was going to make you carry the box to my car. I don’t like hard work, but I guess I can do it this once—for the pay Ill get. So you take a bullet through the back of the head. Pll return to the house and set the place on fire. Just before it starts burning good, I’ll toss you and the runt inside. Wipe out all traces of the crime, ex- cept for the trooper and nobody will guess why he was knocked off. Put the box down, sheriff.” AVIS found his throat dry, his forehead growing moist. He said, “Give me a break and [’1l tell you how to double the value of what this box contains.” “Okay,” the crook agreed much too hastily. “Spill it.” “Only half of Montague’s stuff is in the box. I know where the rest happens to be and you don’t. In fact, he left most of his money behind and filled the box full of jewels. Fake jewels—the results of three years work up here. He was trying to manufacture gems suitable for indus- trial use, by artificial means. A fence wouldn’t give you much for them.” The crook gasped, gestured with his gun. Davis moved back.
