Walker Of The Secret Service - Melville Davisson Post (1924) {zp-EXciter}
Walker Of The Secret Service is a 1924 collection which contains 13 short stories chronicling the adventures of Captain Walker, who starts out as a bandit, reforms, and joins the Secret Service. Most of them had originally appeared in magazines (I was able to identify five of the original magazine appearances with the help of The FictionMags Index).
