This issue of The Popular Magazine (September 1907) contains the complete novel "The Door of the Double-Dragon" by George Bronson-Howard, author of earlier adventure serials. The story opens in winter on Club Road near a country club, where a young Chinese man is violently attacked by local hoodlums throwing snowballs, one containing a stone. A courageous young woman named Bess intervenes, whipping the ringleader, then arranges for the injured man to be taken to her home via sleigh with help from a young man named Frank Emory and a West Point cadet, Wrenne. The narrative, informed by Bronson-Howard's experience as a captain in the Chinese army, promises to depict an unprecedented rebellion in China masterminded by an American protagonist, described as "intensely realistic."
