- Inspector Juve is tasked to investigate and capture an infamous criminal Fantomas.
- Having committed murder in Belgium, Fantomas is sentenced to life imprisonment. Two crimes committed in France suggest to inspector Juve that the Fantomas gang is still at work. He conceives the idea that if Fantomas is set free it will be possible to follow him and capture him and the remaining members of the gang. The villain escapes from prison and makes his way to the railroad station and boards a train where he is tracked by private detectives. When the train stops at a country station, Fantomas alights with the intention of making good his escape, but he finds that he is being followed by two detectives, whom he recognizes. He goes back to his carriage, which leads the detectives to think he is quite safe, but he crosses the train and leaves by the opposite door, jumping into the baggage wagon of the train on the opposite rail. Just at that moment the train moves and a magistrate who happens to have nearly missed the train also jumps into the baggage wagon. Fantomas was who hiding, attacks the magistrate, and after a severe struggle in which he is victorious assumes the disguise of the magistrate and takes his clothes and papers. He continues the journey as the magistrate, successfully rescues certain criminals, who are brought before him to be tried, and manages to blackmail several members of society, with whom he is brought in contact. While here he is recognized by Fandor, the young and clever journalist who happens to come into the district and who has suspicions as to the authenticity of the magistrate. He decides to keep watch upon him. His suspicions are well founded and he identifies the magistrate as none other than Fantomas. After much trouble, he is able to get papers committing Fantomas to prison, but Fantomas' suspecting his immediate arrest, issues an order to the head warden, and tells him that it is Detective Juve's intention to be arrested disguised as Fantomas. The warden is not to tell a soul of the detective's intentional disguise, but is to let him remain in prison until 12 o'clock midnight, when the head warden is to personally release him. The police, not suspecting anything of this, feel quite safe when Fantomas is put in the cell and securely barred and locked. His scheme works favorably and once more Fantomas is at large.
- The press and the public opinion suggest that Inspector Juve may in fact be Fantômas. As Juve is jailed, the actual Fantômas schemes to keep him behind bars forever.

- Robert Gray, a brilliant young lawyer, who has just been elevated to the bench, is greatly in love with Eloise, daughter of Reverend Morgan Landman, rector of the village church. Though well beloved by his flock, the rector has one failing, an ungovernable temper, which is evidenced when he discharges his coachman for a trivial offense. Unknown to anybody excepting the rector, Abel Harrison has a mortgage on the rector's home. James Harrison, the son is also in love with Eloise. When James proposes to Eloise she refuses him, and he taunts her with loving the judge, who has never asked for her love. The rector, coming on the scene, canes James. James induces his good-for-nothing brother Luke to take a job at the rector's left open by the discharge of the coachman. Emboldened by his successful career, the judge proposes to Eloise and is accepted. They are about to be married when James Harrison comes to the judge and demands the arrest of the rector on a charge of murder. James says that the rector murdered his brother Luke, and produces numerous witnesses with seemingly conclusive proof. Much against his will, the judge is forced to issue the warrant and hear the case. The rector is found guilty of manslaughter and given a long term by the judge. Meanwhile, in order not to hinder his career, Eloise refuses to marry the judge until her father is vindicated. James finds that he holds a mortgage on the Landman home, and turns Eloise and her brother Harold out of the house. Judge Gray tries to raise a loan to help Eloise, but the banker to whom he applies is the father of the girl. Alice Ward, whose advances the Judge had received coldly. She blocks the loan. Five years later, James Harrison, now a church warden, is haunted by memories of the rector. Thinking he sees the rector in his old pulpit he drops the collection plates and falls unconscious to the floor. The ordeal affects his mind and body. Meanwhile Luke, the good-for-nothing brother, is discharged from prison, where he has been serving a term for a minor offense. Luke is in the power of an evil man who demands money. Luke tries to raise money from his brother at whose house he is staying, concealing his identity from everybody, but his brother, James. Refused by James, Luke puts his room in disorder, leaving bloodstains everywhere, thus manufacturing evidence of a probable murder. The old servants take the story to Judge Gray, who orders the arrest of James Harrison, At the trial the jury failed to agree. The old servants came and asked the judge to go to the home where they were haunted by strange noises. The judge finds Luke Harrison there hiding in a closet. "It is Luke Harrison," cries the judge to Harold Landman, "Then your father and James Harrison are innocent men." The appearance of Luke in the flesh automatically brings about the release of the rector. His story causes the conviction of James Harrison. The rector is reinstated in his position in the church and in the hearts of his parishioners. Eloise and Judge Gray are married by the rector a few days later.

- Elsie Green cannot decide which of her two suitors to marry. When she reads Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Feathertop", she dreams that she is its heroine Polly Goodkin, and this leads to her final decision.
- Colonel Seldon loved Belle, his adopted daughter, much more than he loved his worldly sister, Mrs. Preston. Belle was the ray of sunshine who was brightening his declining years. Mrs. Preston made much of him, but the old gentleman was far too wise to be unaware that her interest was more in the wealth he would leave than in his own comfort and happiness. He had a genuine affection, however, for his nephew, Montague Preston, and his greatest wish was to see Belle and Montague man and wife. Preston had more ambitious plans for her son. Yet with all his love for Belle, Col. Seldon did not make his will in her favor. It was always something he planned to do the next day. When death found him, Belle had not been protected. Reared in a life of luxury, Belle found herself in a single day swept from her proud position as mistress of Col. Seldon's household, and made to feel the humiliation that only the pride and arrogance of such a woman as Mrs. Preston could heap upon her. Col. Seldon's sister became head of the house. She knew her son's fondness for Belle, and manifested her displeasure. She wished him to marry money. Her own daughter, Anna, she was willing to sacrifice by marrying her to Ashley Callum, a social waster. Social position could be gained thereby, but her daughter loved Phillip Morris. In seeking to thwart her son's love for Belle, Mrs. Preston found an unexpected ally in Belle herself. Both Belle and Montague had been reared in luxury. Belle saw that a union which brought only poverty, since Montague was entirely dependent upon his mother, could bring no happiness. So she decided upon revenge. Learning of Anna's love, Belle aided the girl to elope with Philip Morris. The news of Anna's elopement rendered Mrs. Preston seriously ill. Urged by Callum, Belle agrees to steal the box of stocks and securities Mrs. Preston has locked in her bedroom. Callum has promised to marry her as soon as they are safe from pursuit. He tells the distraught girl that the fortune is really hers by rights, since her foster father had planned to leave his wealth to her. Belle obtains the box, takes it to her room, and prepares to escape with Callum. Wishing to take something as a remembrance of Col. Seldon she goes to the library for a book he had giver her, "The New Adam and Eve," by Nathaniel Hawthorne. While waiting in her room Belle falls asleep. And then begin her experiences as the new Eve. Her astral body deserts its human envelope and wanders through the world with the astral body of Montague. They have loved in the flesh, but the conventions and limitations of civilization have prevented their union. Now as hindered spirits they see the true relations of life. Hand in hand they wander in happy companionship through a deserted city and comment on the uselessness of many things which civilization has taught us are essential. What holds Belle-Eve longest is the statue of a little child. Without knowing what influences her, her awakening maternal instinct makes her exclaim, "I wonder if we are alone in the world. This lovely little form, did it ever breathe? Or is it a shadow of something real?" Not as Eve is Belle destined to know the answer. Her time in spiritland is up. Her lesson has been learned. At dawn the first thing Belle sees is the box of securities. Transformed by her journey into the world where values have their true appraisal, Belle sees the enormity of the offense she has been saved from committing. Quickly she restores the valuable papers to their proper place. Montague also has learned his lesson. In the astral body he has found that happiness does not depend upon wealth, position or power. Waking, he determines that Belle must be his wife, no matter how much she fears poverty. To his great joy he finds her ready to listen to his suit. Yet poverty is not their lot, for Mrs. Preston never recovers from the shock occasioned by Anna's elopement. At her death they receive the fortune Col. Seldon had meant should be theirs.

- The story opens with Alan Armadale, Sr., on his deathbed. With him are his wife, his infant son and family physician. They have been traveling but are forced to stop through the serious condition of the senior Armadale. Calling for a lawyer, that his confession may be legal, Armadale tells the following story: At the age of twenty-one he had taken the name and become sole heir to the Armadale fortune. The legal son of the house had been cast out because of disgrace he brought upon the family name. The adopted son falls in love with a Miss Blanchard through her photograph. At the same time he meets a young chap called Inglesby, who in reality is the blood son of the house of Armadale. The two men become friendly, and Armadale, in a burst of confidence, tells Inglesby of his infatuation for Miss Blanchard. Shortly afterwards Armadale is stricken with fever. Upon Armadale's recovery he learns that his friend Inglesby has gone away. The young lover leaves shortly for Madeira, to meet and woo the unknown Miss Blanchard. He arrives at the home of the girl only to learn that Inglesby had been there before, and that the two were now husband and wife. The outlawed son, Inglesby, had recognized the foster son, Armadale, and had, through stealing from him the girl of his choice, repaid in full measure the loss of his own fortune and name. Meeting Inglesby, Armadale learns that he has married the former Miss Blanchard under the name of Armadale, the girl thinking him to be the foster son and heir. The two men exchange cards and a duel is arranged. In the meantime, Inglesby confesses to his wife the truth of his assumed inheritance. The wife accompanies him in quick flight aboard ship. When Armadale arrives at the beach chosen for the duel he learns that Inglesby has taken flight. Quickly pursuing him, in a swift yacht, he arrives to find the ship carrying the fleeing Inglesby, his wife and her young maid, a victim of a big storm at sea. Armadale, in the pursuing boat, gives quick aid to the passengers, rescuing Mrs. Inglesby and maid among the first. Inglesby returned to the cabin to find his wife's jewels. Armadale followed him there, and locked him in the stateroom. Inglesby thus perished. His wife and her maid escape and drop out of the life of Armadale, who marries later and has a son. This is the confession of Armadale. It is followed by his dramatic death. The story then deals with the fortunes of the son of the adopted Armadale, known as Midwinter, and the son of the disinherited Armadale of the earlier story who now enjoys the name of his forefathers as well as Armadale fortune. Legally, Midwinter should have the position. Mrs. Armadale, née Blanchard, has been a party to the crime of her drowned husband in failing to disclose the proper heir to the millions. She is devoted to her son, but endures a fearful menace in the person of a mysterious veiled woman who pays her visits frequently to collect hush money. The veiled visitor is the erstwhile maid who had been Mrs. Armadale's companion on the fateful sea flight when the husband was drowned. Armadale, the son, is out riding one day when he chances upon a stranger, hungry and exhausted. The former takes the stranger into a nearby inn and cares for him. Upon the latter's recovery he tells his benefactor that his name is Midwinter. Armadale gives his name. Midwinter recognizes in his friend the man who is keeping him out of his rightful inheritance, but because he knows, too, of his own father's share in the death of Armadale's father, Midwinter decides to allow his friend uninterrupted enjoyment of his wealth and position. Midwinter becomes a guest in the Armadale home. Mrs. Armadale recognizes him, but fears to make her discovery known. One night, from his room, Armadale sees the figure of a woman dancing gaily and with abandon on the moonlit lawn of a neighbor's home. He is vastly attracted to the girl and makes an effort to meet her. She vanishes however, leaving a gauzy veil in her trail. The following day Armadale calls upon his neighbor in the hope that the fair dancer may have been the daughter of the house. Instead, she is the governess, known as Miss Gwilt. Armadale is deeply infatuated. In the meantime his mother has died, and with her one link that might bind the boy to the secret of his false position. Midwinter in the meantime has discovered that Miss Gwilt is no other than the young girl who acted as maid to Mrs. Armadale on the sea voyage when the deception as to legal rights was practiced. That she is a schemer is plain to Midwinter but Armadale will hear nothing against his promised wife. It is at this point that Midwinter finds his big opportunity to repay to the son the debt he owes him. Midwinter captures the fancy of Miss Gwilt and is caught by Armadale leaving her bed chamber late at night. Armadale is prostrated by the shock. He has recently drawn up his will, preparatory to his marriage, naming Miss Gwilt as his heiress. The woman knows this, and, in one last attempt to gain the wealth she has struggled so hard to win, attempts to poison the sleeping Armadale. Midwinter frustrates her plan and at the same time unveils to the eyes of the believing Armadale the duplicity of his former fiancée. The sound, lasting friendship that springs up between the sons of the two men who had fought and struggled to injure each other, comes as a pleasant climax to the story.

He subdued the patient with a plaster-of-Paris mask and started on his way. The beauty doctor was grimacing as he worked over Mrs. Devere with odd tools and plenty of sticking plaster when a knock was heard at the door. Devere had missed his train and returned home. Mr. Devere's suspicions were aroused when he shoved the maid aside and peeked through the key-hole. The doctor was telling her an inimitable story but the doctor mistook it for a personal conversation. So he hastily sent a bell boy out for a large revolver and thus armed he broke in the door. Terrified. Mrs. Devere hid the beauty doctor in a trunk but a sneeze gave him away. Then followed a fencing duel, for the revolver would not explode.

This paved the way for a quick reconciliation between husband and wife.

- What the French are pleased to call the "eighth wonder" of the world, Mont St. Michel, has a prominent place in this issue of "Tours Around the World." At high tide the tiny place is an island. It is a towering pinnacle of granite topped by a Benedictine monastery which is an admirable example of military and monastic architecture as developed from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. The pictures give a general view of the islet, which is 165 feet high with a circumference of 3,000 feet. Various architectural features are dwelt upon, and there are special pictures of the Museum, the Cloister, Chapel St. Aubert and the Rocks and Tower of Gabriel.

- James Trevor, on the eve of departure for America to visit an agency, delays his passage on a transatlantic steamship, because of a warning letter received from a friend advising him to postpone his departure because of the jeopardy to ocean traffic at this season due to icebergs. Mrs. Trevor, at a friend's house, meets a palmist then being received by fashionable society. The palmist, for some inscrutable reason, refuses to employ her arts on the palm of Mrs. Trevor. She does, however, agree to an engagement. The prophecy Mrs. Trevor receives is a fearful one, and with sinking heart the wife and mother hear that she is to lose one to her near and dear. Will it he my husband or my son, is the query which reverberates through her brain. Mr. Trevor, seeing an advertisement of the Colossus, the largest steamship in the world which is just about to make her maiden trip, engages passage on her. The lonely wife, her mind disturbed by the palmist's prophecy, writes to her uncle asking him to spend a few days with her to relieve her from her low spiritedness. The Colossus meets the fate of the Titanic, striking an iceberg in the night and sinking into the depths with the majority of her two thousand souls. While Mrs. Trevor and her uncle are at dinner, there is brought a newspaper containing the first announcement of the fate of the Colossus. Strong is the grief of the mother but stronger the grief of the child whose health suffers under the poignancy of the melancholia. Meanwhile, the survivors of the Colossus, among whom is James Trevor, have reached port and to his wife and child the husband flashes the joyous "all is well" telegram. With one terror relieved, there is yet another potential grief seemingly in store for the mother. The palmist's prophecy still haunts her and she fears that inasmuch as her husband has been snatched from the scythe of death, the little son will he garnered in by the grim reaper. The obsession more and more possesses the feminine mind until wrinkles of anxiety come on her face and the light of an unknown terror into her eyes. Mr. Jullien, the uncle, a man of sound judgment and common sense, has little faith in the readings of the palmist and believes that ruse will relieve the worries of the mother by proving to her that the palmist is a mere charlatan. The uncle accordingly writes to the palmist, asking her to come to the hotel for the purpose of reading the hand of his niece, a young woman about to be married. The palmist is somewhat surprised to see the room inhabited by a man and she looks about for the mentioned young woman. None is in sight but through the curtains before a door lending to an adjoining room extends a white, graceful feminine hand. The palmist refuses to perform her reading under such conditions, but the uncle prevails upon her by the argument that inasmuch as she reads the palm, the sight of the other parts of the individual are unnecessary. The moving argument, however, is the presentation of s large fee. The palmist falling into the trap, makes a pretended reading of the mysterious hand, and, utterly contradicting all her dark predictions of a few weeks previous, prognosticates the brightest prospects of great happiness and prosperity of the subject. Better by her own reading the mother, pushes aside the curtain and confronts the dismayed palmist. The uncle then gets into possession of a letter addressed to the palmist which more fully explains her nefarious business, the letter congratulating the palmist upon her use of the "apparent possession of supernatural foresight, which always attracts the many fools who in this trash believe." Her perfidy unmasked, the palmist is sent away discomfited while the relieved mother hastens back to her wounded dove. The father arrives and his presence acts as a tonic most efficacious and the child quickly rallies to bring joy to the household.
