# Page Analysis: Pulp Magazine with Mixed Content This page contains the final portion of a Western story titled "Fifteen Western Tales" alongside several advertisements. The story prose depicts a dramatic confrontation between a man named Steve and a woman named Iris Manning, who has come to his room with a packed suitcase. She reveals that a man named Con has left town after discovering something Steve did, and she's offering to leave with Steve. The narrative emphasizes romantic tension and apparent moral conflict. The upper half of the page is dominated by various mail-order advertisements (medical booklets, book matches, high school courses, hypnotism training, and color slides), typical of pulp magazine monetization.

The knock on his door was timid, hesi- tant. A’ woman’s knock. He opened the door and stood back and as he looked at | the fresh blonde beauty of Iris Manning he wished somehow that he had died down there in the dust of Main Street. She smiled and closed the door behind her quietly. | “What’s this?” he said bitterly. She slid into the narrow space between him and the window, her warm body touch- ing his, her rounded arms about his slim, hard waist. “You've packed your suitcase,” “Where are we going, Steve?” He looked at her, at the beautiful face so close to his, at the full red lips. - “We?” he said. “If... if you want me, Steve.” “But—” “Con left Fever Wells forever last night, Steve,” she said. “But before he did, he told me what you’d done. You Jet him live because you thought | loved him.” “And I was right!” Steve said. “No, darling. You were wrong. I tried to tell you that last night, but you wouldn’t listen.

No fool at all. But a man. A hard man. Too hard to understand how I felt about Con. He was kind and gentle to me, Steve. Always. And he loved me. I couldn’t forget that. I didn’t want you to kill him.” He looked at her, searchingly. “Is that why you kissed me the way you did?” The color rose in her throat and into her cheeks. , she said. LOOOLK
