# Page Analysis This page from a pulp detective magazine contains story prose alongside period advertisements. The main narrative text, titled "10-STORY DETECTIVE," depicts an action sequence where a character named Duryea escapes through a window during a confrontation with gangsters. The scene involves physical violence, a woman named Baby attempting to alert others to Duryea's identity, and general chaos during what appears to be a raid or escape scenario. The remainder of the page is dominated by classified advertisements typical of early-20th-century pulp magazines, promoting mail-order treatments for stomach ulcers, job training courses, song poem submissions, and various other commercial services.

TWIN CITY VON cO., Dept. 206, Saint Paul, Minnesota, Please mention AcE FICTION GROUP when answering spdclaele I ag COM 10-STORY DETECTIVE URYEA reached the window, of the French type, opened it and pushed Patty through. He turned back into the room with, “Wait out- side,” to the girl. Somebody collided with him. One of Baby’s gangsters who was also trying to make the window. A scampering of feet in Duryea’s direction. The man at Duryea’s side snarled: “Push through, you! We got to get out! What you standin’ there for!” Duryea hit him, sent him catapult- ing backward, heard him crash into a table and roll over. Baby came up to him, caught his arm in the darkness, tried to tug him outside the window with her. She let out a choking cry. “It’s the dick! It’s Duryea!” Duryea clapped his hand over Baby’s mouth. She tried to bite. He squeezed so hard she groaned from the pain. The man back of Baby tried to edge around her. Duryea heard him and shifted his position. Duryea suddenly thrust the girl backward violently. She crashed into the imported gunman. They fell to the floor. Duryea threw himself to the right of them, guessing that the man had held his rod in his right hand. He guessed accurately. For as his grop- ing fingers swept above the girl’s body, they encountered a gun held in the hand of the man who was cursing, fighting to rise. His fingers closed over the gun, gaveit a sudden twist. The gunman howled his pain. “My hand! You broke my hand!” Baby was screaming now. She rose, made a dash for the window, her high heels clapping on the floor. The lights came on as suddenly as they had gone off. Baby was clawing in Patty’s stout embrace. Duryea went over, caught Baby’s arm and said: “Be good, Baby.” Muffy, his gun out, came up. His men were covering the imported gangsters, two of whom were gaining consciousness. iGcbooks.com
