About this issue

This issue features the serialized detective story "Dan Dunn's Double" by Joseph E. Badger, Jr., depicting the adventures of Dan Dunn, a plainclothes officer working under Chief Croder in St. Joseph. In Chapter I, "Fish-Hawk and Eagle," two street thugs—Mace Wilson and Pony Keefe—ambush a well-dressed pedestrian under a gaslight for robbery. The assault is interrupted when Dunn intervenes, disarming the attackers and calling police. The victim, Berry Barfort, is taken to the Pacific House hotel. Chapter II introduces Rena Coventry, a young woman recently arrived in town, confined by the sinister Dr. Dairmid, who prevents her access to her ailing father. The material combines urban crime fiction with romantic melodrama elements typical of the period's pulp serials.
