    Master Mysteries Magazine   (about)
    A short-lived magazine which published a series of stories by Arthur Hoerl, seemingly syndicated to various newspapers previously as “Master Mysteries”, although the sources have not yet been traced. The fifth issue appears to be, at least in the main, a reprint of stories published in earlier issues.
