Judicial minds and risky love tests in a fiancé tale
In a tale of trust and suspicion a fiancée seeks opinions on her lover from several people. Ruth and Amy debate trust. The fiancé confesses to a past liaison, hints another woman warned about him, and the mystery woman named Ruth Swain is suspected. The plot twists around honesty, prudence, and a hidden judge's mind. A parallel feature recounts Maxim's cautionary tale of explosives. A lab accident cost a hand, and a stump-blasting anecdote highlights danger in dynamite work.

Yankee Versus Southern Gentleman on a Mississippi Steamer
A half century ago a Mississippi river steamer split its two cabins into a ladies area and a gambling men’s hall. Colonel St Leger and Major Carter, poker experts, attempt to swindle a naive Yankee, who counters with a prodigious run of luck. After a costly night, the Yankee outplays them and returns new bills, later discovering the tale of counterfeit notes.
