# Page Content Analysis This is a text page from a pulp detective story, containing the conclusion of a narrative scene. The visible prose describes a detective named Davis confronting a blind criminal (apparently named Montague) about his role in murders on an estate. Davis disarms the crook and indicates they'll report back to "Dr. Montague" about the case's success. The page is primarily story text, but also features period advertisements: a "Beauty Love, Etc. Round the World" photo collection offer, a "Secret Museum of Mankind" book promotion (reduced from $10 to $1.98), and a U.S. Defense Bonds and Stamps patriotic advertisement.

Luckily he had them tied up. But when we were waiting for the non-existent gang to strike, the dogs never let a yap out of them. I knew, when Montague was hit by that knife, that you’d thrown it. No one could have approached the place without arousing the dogs. “Then too, while Montague and I were upstairs, you went outside to patch the light wire together. The dogs yapped again. Your whole idea was to convince Montague and my- self of the fact that a gang was sur- rounding the house. You threw the first knife at him, but you opened the window from inside before your pal faked his getaway. And in the darkened room it was you who threw the second knife that got Montague in the shoulder. You made a regular murder’s playground of the estate.” “But I can’t see. I’m blind, I tell you,” the crook moaned. “Every- thing is so dark...” “Fine.” Davis disarmed him and dragged him back toward the house. “Dr. Montague will be very interested to learn that hig work is successful. He wanted to get someone to try it on, but he wasn’t positive yet that the stuff wouldn’t kill as well as blind. Come on—we’ll tell him the good news.” Please mention Ack FICTION GRouP when answering advertisements MICLOOOKS (C(O) (C(O)
