This issue contains five continued serials and supporting fiction. "The Yellow Lord" by Will Levington Comfort (Part One of Two) opens with protagonist Jack Bowditch, broke in Shanghai, responding to a cryptic advertisement from the Tsui Tsing Trading Company seeking cultured white gentlemen to manage island estates. After travelling to Singapore and being questioned for ten days, he meets Guthrie Catten, a mysterious Englishman with piratical eyes and questionable morals. Together they board the steamship Virgin bound for Pandinao, where Tsui Tsing maintains headquarters and has constructed a castle. The story continues with Bowditch's four-month sojourn managing plantations alongside other European employees, during which he observes the enigmatic "Yellow Lord" remains unseen. The narrative concludes with island Malays launching hostilities against the Chinese operations. The issue includes novelettes and short stories by Katharine Metcalf Roof, Frances O. J. Gaither, and others, plus verse contributions.
