This pulp adventure magazine contains a diverse array of fiction and nonfiction pieces. Featured stories include "Tigre and Isola" by Will H. Thompson, a romantic tragedy set in Arizona's isolated valleys involving a dangerous outlaw's unrequited love for a Spanish gentleman's refined daughter; "Two on Trinity" by Frank Lillie Pollock; and "The Great Todescan's Secret Thrust" by Agnes and Egerton Castle, a seventeenth-century sword-play romance. Serialized works include Gouverneur Morris's "Yellow Men and Gold," depicting treasure-seeking in the South Pacific, and Winifred Graham's "Can a Man be True?," a tale of Balkan romance and intrigue. Other notable stories explore diverse settings and adventures: an Australian interior adventure, African elephant hunting, and tales of crime and morality. Nonfiction articles by Captain George B. Boynton and Hudson Maxim discuss real-world adventuring and explosives engineering. Complete novelette "The Mahogany Garden" concludes the issue, set in Yucatan.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
