Additional stories include Albert Payson Terhune's "The Actor-Man" about amateur theatricals, Harold Cary's "The Spur" concerning business life, H. Bedford-Jones's "Pure Business" set in a Chinese desert, and Holman Day's "Splitting Even with Mr. Tutt," featuring a rebellious sea-cook. George Allan England's "Bennington's Bath" is promoted as humorous throughout. The August issue preview advertises Frank L. Packard's serialized "The White Moll," an underworld crime series, alongside mystery and romance novelettes.
