Transcriber's Note: In the original edition, the title of each story appeared twice, first on a page by itself in all capitals, followed by a blank page, and then on the first page of the story in title case. These duplicate titles have been deleted. The first title for "The Extraordinary Adventure of the Baron de Ville" appeared in a shortened form as "THE BARON DE VILLE". In the HTML version of this text, page numbers have been included only on those pages which originally contained them, not on blank pages or title pages.

In "McAllister's Christmas", a quotation mark in front of "One as 'as white 'air" was deleted, and a second chapter V was renumbered as VI.

In "The Golden Touch", missing quotation marks were added in front of "When the Colonel realized what it was all about" and "Oh, my leg!" and after "And it's worth what you ask—five thousand dollars?", "Where had he seen that fact?" was changed to "Where had he seen that face?", "that old VanVorst" was changed to "that old Van Vorst", and "VanVorst sat there" was changed to "Van Vorst sat there".

In "McAllister's Data of Ethics", a quotation mark was removed after "his scented wife, and gilded chairs—".

In "McAllister's Marriage", "Don' you want to show me the boy-horse" was changed to "Don't you want to show me the boy-horse".

In "The Course of Justice", "slowyl arose" was changed to "slowly arose".
