# Page Analysis This page from *10-Story Detective Magazine* (October 1, 1940) contains two distinct sections: story prose at the top and legal documentation below. The story prose depicts the climax of a crime narrative involving characters named Gil, Charlie Mee, and Wayne. Gil confronts Wayne about crimes (appearing to involve a jade theft and torture with pins), declares Wayne will "burn," and exits to find a cab. Charlie Mee agrees to turn Wayne over to authorities. The remainder of the page consists of the magazine's required ownership and circulation statement, sworn by publisher A. A. Wyn, listing corporate ownership details and stockholder information as mandated by Congressional acts from 1912 and 1933.

Had you died, I intended, when the image was recovered, to follow you into death to seek your forgiveness. I am a happy man,” Gil took from his wallet the check that Wayne had given him and tore it to bits. Charlie Mee looked at the pieces of paper and said: “The tong knows how to reward its friends. You shal] not be the loser for having destroyed that check.” “The man on the table,” Gil said sternly, “must be turned over to the law.” Charlie Mee bowed graciously. “We are done with him. He is yours. The price he would have received for his half of the jade shall go to the dead man’s relatives as indemnity.” “All right,” said Gil. “You deliver him. I'l) go ahead and prepare In- spector Glenn.” From the table came a moan, and Wayne called out weakly: “What are you going to do with me? What are you going to do with me? Don’t cut me with those pins any more!” “You,” Gil said in English, “are not going to be cut any more. You are going to burn!” And he went out to find his cab.
