1Twenty New Lives for You
3YOU live again and again in the stories of this magazine. Dull or laborious your own life may be—perplexed, even tragic. But through the gracious medium of the printed page you may live through the most interesting careers imaginable—may enter each of these vicarious lives, moreover, at its most colorful and most dramatic climax.
5Thus in the pages which follow you may in succession take for your own a round score of conspicuously worth-while lives—each far different from the other, for the editors of this magazine are at special pains to offer the widest possible variety in its pages. And next month you will find an equal, if not even greater, opportunity for a diverting enlargement of your experience.
7For example, in this forthcoming May issue Roy Norton will present his picturesque and full-of-action short novel "The Chimney of Gold." Now, Mr. Norton has won real fame with his previous novels "The Vanishing Fleets," "Captains Three," "The Unknown Mr. Kent" and others; but never, we believe, has he achieved a story quite so consistently engaging as in this great story of the Arizona mining country.
9A number of the same characters you have learned to like so well in this and the immediately preceding issues are scheduled to appear next month also: Bertram Atkey's delectable rapscallions the Easy Street Experts will again put over a choice bit of good-humored rascality; Clarence Herbert New's adventurous civil engineer Grigsby will once more look upon the bright face of danger in "The Back Country;" H. Bedford-Jones' detective, Clancy, will undertake a specially engrossing problem in "Japanese Fans;" and Calvin Ball's quaint and gasoline-soaked garage hero will get himself into even more amusing difficulties.
11Other stories deserving of particular mention are William Byron Mowery's splendid North Woods drama "Up the Keewateena Trail," Edwin L. Sabin's tale of the buffalo and the old frontier "The Water Stand," and Kenneth Gilbert's great aviation story "The Kingbird;" and there will be at least seven other examples of the kind of fiction we believe in—vivid, human, swift-moving.
13Besides all these, moreover, there have been chosen, from the thousands offered by our readers, five prize-winning narratives of remarkable Real Experience that are memorable indeed. . . . . Yes, this coming May issue is something to which you may look forward with eager anticipation.
