About this issue

This October 10, 1923 issue of Adventure magazine features three complete novelettes and three serials. The lead novel, "The Marriage of Meldrum Strange" by Talbot Mood, concerns a wealthy Manhattan tycoon with reform ambitions whose political corruption investigations earn him powerful enemies. The story follows Charley Mears, a cameraman sent ahead to India, where he encounters Cottswold Ommony, a principled figure opposing Strange's authoritarian worldview. The narrative introduces Zelmira Poulakis, a mysterious widow of Greek heritage, as Charley confides his ambition to photograph the notoriously camera-shy billionaire. The issue also contains "Breeches" by Leonard H. Nason (French military setting), "The Cry from the Minaret" by H.A. Woureddin Addi (Armenian tale), "Orders" by Ramsey Benson (Northwestern), "Crops, Cradles and Consequences" by George E. Holt (Moroccan), serial installment of "Old Misery," "That Crooked Smile," and "The Derelict Ranch" by Barry Scobell (Texas feuding novelette). Back matter includes reader correspondence, practical services, and columns on fishing, radio, mining, and aviation.
