This issue of The Argosy features one complete novel: "Hampton of the Heights" by Joseph Ivers Lawrence, presented across twenty-seven chapters. The magazine also includes three serial installments: "His Isle of Refuge" (Part I, Chapters I–VI), "The Star of Adventure" (Part II, Chapters X–XVI), and "His Mad Move on the Movies" (Part III, Chapters XI–XIII). Eight short stories round out the fiction content, including "Dropping into the Nicor" by F. K. Scribner, a Leslie Davis piece, "Cochrane Hands Out a Lemon" by R. K. Thompson, and works titled "Demon of the Whirling Disks" and "The Unforgiving Minute." Upcoming issues promise a novel about moviemaking at Point Firmin by William Wallace Cook and "Those Eyes from Karna" by George Foxhall, described as a mystery with occult elements.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
