The story AN OUTPOST OF P[ROGRESS deals with two European men, named Kayerts and Carlier, who are assigned to a trading post in a remote part of the African Jungle. There they take part in ivory trading, hoping to financially benefit the company as well as themselves. With no specific tasks or important things to be done, they both become increasingly isolated and demoralized as time goes by. At one point in the story, the native Makola, serving as Kayerts's and Carlier's bookkeeper, initiates an exchange of slaves for ivory. Initially Kayerts and Carlier are stunned and scandalized by the idea, yet eventually they accept the deal and aid Makola for his huge profit.

In this tale, a man visits an old friend in San Francisco whose solitary life has been turned upside down by his own act of pride in shutting the girl he loved out of his life because she came from a different social background.

Two great short stories from O'Henry- both about New York City around 1912.  These stories provide an excellent insight to the way life was in the melting pot we know to be New York City- where people from every background and social strata learned to get along- and stories abounded.

It was 180 years before Christ in Judea. It seemed that all they knew was war- war to be free from Romans, from attacking Syrians, from kings and ever- larger armies that came and never stopped.  Until a man named Judas stood up to fight, gathered his faithful, few and led the Jews to victory after victory.  And finally the day came when Judas and his remaining 800 men stood defiantly in the path of a force of 10,000 men....

"A Jury of Her Peers", a tense drama written in 1917, is a short story by Susan Glaspell, loosely based on the 1900 murder of John Hossack , which Glaspell covered while working as a journalist[ for the Des Moines Iowa Daily News. It is seen as an example of early feminist literature because two female characters are able to solve a mystery that the male characters cannot. They are aided by their knowledge of women's psychology.   The story was adapted into an episode of the 1950s TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was also adapted into a 30-minute film by Sally Heckel in 1980. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

Two men, both having been cast down from their positions in New York society, share hunger and a park bench in turn of the century New York City. O. Henry's twist is terrific.
