This issue contains three complete novelettes and portions of a serialized story. "The Fresh Yank" by Leonard H. Nason depicts an American soldier in the British cavalry during World War I, retreating near the Forest of Compiègne. "Two Fools" by John Webb is set in South America, featuring a character named "One-Two" Moc acquiring a partner. "Lord of the Stony Rises" by an unidentified author concerns double-crossing in Australia. William Ashley Anderson's "The Edge of the Simitar" is an adventure toward Abyssinia near the Red Sea. Additional content includes Part IV of Gordon Young's five-part serial "Pearl-Hunger," set in the South Seas; Royce Brier's "Burro Bells," a Western story about desert gold; William Byron Mowery's Arctic tale "Driftwood Fire"; and James Sharp Eldredge's "The Bird of Ill Omen," featuring man-hunting in Tennessee hills. The issue includes verse, historical articles on steamboat navigation and Indian warfare, and a reader forum called "The Camp-Fire."
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
