Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Wide Awake Magazine, Volume 4, Number 3, January 10, 1916" by Various is a periodical publication featuring a collection of stories and articles written in the early 20th century. This volume includes a novelette, continued stories, short stories, and miscellaneous content, reflecting various themes likely pertaining to adventure, romance, and contemporary interests of that time. It serves as a snapshot of the fiction and engaging prose that would have entertained readers in the early 1900s. The beginning of the issue introduces a thrilling novelette titled "The Speedway of Fate" by Franklin Pitt, where the protagonist, Stanley Downs, finds himself in a race against time to save a young woman driver whose car has lost control on a perilous mountain road. As Stanley observes the girl navigating the treacherous terrain, he quickly realizes she is in grave danger as she approaches a dangerous bend leading into a lake. The narrative intensifies as he takes heroic action, leaping from his own vehicle to intervene, leading to a dramatic scene where both cars plunge into the water. This gripping opening sets the stage for not only a rescue mission but potentially larger themes of competition and adventure as the characters confront challenges in the ensuing race.
