640 dently knows what he is talking about. This is not his only good story either. I like the whole magazine very much. G. H. ——__——_—_— HarTrorp, Conn. I have been a reader of the Arcosy when it was Golden Argosy, ‘way back in the early eighties. Have read that others have read it ever since they were twelve years old. Well, they did not state how old they are now. I was twelve, Il think; am now fifty-eight—honest, don’t look it, do 1?—and look forward to issue day just as eagerly as when I was a boy. The Arcosy is O. K.,- Westerns, et, cetera, including the kickers in Viewpoint. I see Connecticut is well repre- sented in the issue of August 20; I thought all the kickers were from the West and South. “ The War Chief” was fine. How about a sequel? G. G. McC. ALHAMBRA, CALIF. T have been a reader of the Arcosy for a year. Have enjoyed it a great deal. I liked “ Why Did She Do It?” by Coralie Stanton and Heath Hosken. I also liked “Forgotten Trails,’ by Frederick C. Davis, and “Too Many Friends,” by Jack Bechdolt. All of Richard F. Merrifield’s stories are great! I would like to see more of them. Don’t cut out Western stories! Just a word for my father. He has read Arcosy for many years and has enjoyed every bit of it. E. V. N. WEBSTER, FLA. Tnclosed you will find one dollar for which please send me the Arcosy for three months. “Byes West” is the best story you have printed since you gave us “Red Darkness,” though. it takes a good story to beat “Seven Footprints to Satan.” I can’t decide whether Kenneth Perkins, “Maclsaac, Merritt, or Seltzer wrote “ Eyes West.” Please tell us. The Arcosy can’t be beat; there’s only one thing wrong with it, it’s hard to wait a week for the next copy. I like your Western stories best. Let ‘er buck. Wittma H. The second successful guess on the au- thor of “ Eyes West” has just come—Sep- tember 6. It is from Milton Gellert, New York City, and makes two winners thus far out of one hundred and six tries. Brooxtyn, N. Y. The Reader’s Viewpoint is a valuable addition to your great magazine. It is the first thing I turn to. The only author that so far has’given the hero to the wrong girl is John Holden. In “Eyes West” it is my firm conviction that Rupert should have got Emily and not Dorothy. Therefore my guess is John Holden. My favorite stories are “The Love Bandit,” “Those Lima Eyes,” “Seven Footprints to Satan,” “Captain Will-o’-the-Wisp,” and a great ARGOSY-ALLSTORY WEEKLY. many others; in fact, all of them. MaclIsaac is an artist. Coe, Merritt, Worts, and Lawrence are also good. Will close with best wishes to the best maga- zine in the States. W. S. SANFORD, MAINE. Just a short offering. Leave the Arcosy exactly as it is. As for impossible stories, when we buy fiction we do not expect to get true stories, but something to transport us from every-day, hum- drum affairs into the realms of imaginative crea- tion; and how better can we forget every-day troubles than through the works of some vividly imaginative author? I like so many of your stories I will not name them, but for years I have been wondering if ever a sequel to “The Blind Spot ” was published. If so, in what num- ber; if not, why not? S$; P. There was no sequel to “The Blind Spot,” by Austin Hall, SALEM, Mass. My, but we are having some extra fine stories of late! “Seven Footprints to Satan” was one of the most thrilling stories I’ve ever read, and what a marvelous movie it would make if played as written and not butchered out of all recognition as the majority of the picturized versions of good stories generally are. Another story that has caused me a great deal of enjoyment*is Don Waters’s “ Pounding the Rails,” the sequel to his “Call of Shining Steel.” I learned more about railroading in the last one of the stories than if I had studied railroading. If those two stories are to be in book form, I must have them. What a darling man Zeb was! He seems real. Is “Moonglow”’ in book form? I am to be in Savannah next month, and I do want to read the story while on the Hermitage grounds. Mrs. C. Y. H. ‘ Moonglow ” has not as yet appeared in book form. New Yorr City. As far as your stories go, I’d say let ’em ride. You can’t please every one, but I for one give you and your staff credit for picking real clean stuff, and your line of authors are of the best. Arcosy has been with me in every State of the Union, and I expect it will be for years to come. Has the story, “ The Outsider,” ever been put in book form? I should like very much to read it again. W. D. B. As we have more than once pointed out unless correspondents supply us with the name of the author we cannot reply to their questions concerning stories that have ap- peared in the past. 10 A micgboo (E@)
