Catalog Entry This issue of *Work and Win* (No. 103, November 23, 1900) features the serial "Fred Fearnot and Evelyn: or, The Infatuated Rival" by Hal Standish. The story follows protagonist Fred Fearnot's romantic complications. While in New York City, Fred disguises himself as a farmer to outwit bunco steerers preying on country visitors, using his formidable grip to disable con artists attempting the shell game, lottery ticket scheme, and counterfeit money scams. Meanwhile, Fred learns from his sister Margie that Evelyn has attracted a rival suitor: Robert Benning, a Harvard graduate from Albany society who has been courting her ardently at New Era lake. Fred initially dismisses the threat philosophically, though his friends repeatedly accuse him of concealed jealousy. The narrative includes extensive dialogue between Fred and his acquaintances at a museum, debating whether he should jealously defend his romantic interest or gracefully accept his potential loss.
