There is one long short story in this issue, "Typhoon", by Joseph Conrad; and two very short stories with the same name, both by Mark Hellinger. Hellinger became a Broadway producer and later a movie producer, but beforre then he was a columnist on a New York daily; he chose to write his daily columns in the form of short-short stories, usually with a twist in the tail, and he wrote so many (several thousand) that I suppose it's no surprise that two finished up with the same title. A few years ago I collected 200 of the stories into 2 volumes, "Mark Hellinger's Broadway: 1930s" and "Mark Hellinger's Broadway: 1940s", (100 stories each) which are in the MobileRead library.
There is a story by G K Chesterton's "other detective" Horne Fisher; and one or two "strange" tales. 1: The Man Who Went Too Far / E. F. Benson 2: Typhoon / Joseph Conrad 3: The Everlasting Club / Stacy Aumonier 4: The Fad of the Fisherman / G.K. Chesterton 5: The Empty Theatre / J. D. Beresford 6: The Former Passengers / B. M. Croker 7: "Freddy & Cie" / Richard Dehan 8: Footfalls in the Desert / Roderic Quinn 9: The Biter Bit / Peter Cheyney 10: The Gallowsmith / Irvin S. Cobb 11: The Greater Sin (1937) / Mark Hellinger 12: The Greater Sin (1941) / Mark Hellinger 13: The Painter’s Bargain / William Makepeace Thackeray 14: The Fortune-Teller's Sign / Valentine Fredericks 15: Lord Arthur Savile's Crime / Oscar Wilde 16: The House of the Nightmare / Edward Lucas White This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
