This issue of Argosy-Allstory (Vol. CXXXVI, No. 3) contains four serialized stories and five short stories. The featured serials include George Washington Ogden's "Tophet at Trails End" (part one of seven), Max Brand's "The Guide to Happiness" (part two of six), an untitled story by an illegible author (part four of five), and Captain Dingle's "Silent Martin" (concluding part five). Herman Howard Matteson's "The Red Hibiscus" opens the short fiction section, followed by stories by George Allan England, Garret Smith, William Merriam Rouse, Pearl Norton Swet, and Lyon Mearson. The issue announces the forthcoming serial "Diana the Hunted" by Elizabeth York Miller, described as an English-set romance involving love, intrigue, and cross-purposes. Advertisements comprise substantial portions of the issue, promoting Omar cigarettes, Oliver typewriters, and vocational correspondence courses.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
