The Last Drive - Plot & Excerpts

It appeared in the April 1918 issue, but must have been written more than a year earlier, as Stout had been busy collaborating with his brother Robert in promoting a school banking system, the Educational Thrift Service, since the end of 1916. This farewell appearance marks the only time that one of Stout’s early stories for Young’s was promoted on the cover: “OLD FOOLS AND YOUNG – Complete Novelette by REX T. STOUT”
    Before the large granite pillars flanking the entrance to Roselawn—one of those showy country estates that turn the east bank of the Hudson into an unbroken series of formal parks and flower gardens—a high-powered Shinton roadster came to an abrupt stop early one July morning. At the wheel was a man of middle age, not more than a year or two either side of forty; he was the sole occupant of the car. The perplexed and somewhat resentful expression of his pleasing, still youthful countenance showed that he had certainly not halted as a tribute to the surrounding landscape, though such a tribute would have been not undeserved.
