Considered by many pulp historians to be the first pulp with a playing card cover.
Contents include Over the Northern Border, The Gallopin’ Kid’s Silk Shirt, Why Auld of the Mounted “Reasoned Why”, The Golden Bowl [Part 1 of 6], and Peg Leg Assists a Conclusion. I have no idea which one relates to this cover.
I have a much nicer version of this classic cover. Link below.

Very nice! Did you clean that image up yourself?
If the nose were beakier, I’d say that was William S. Hart.
