"Big Top" follows the circus performer Myra and her relationships with the ringmaster and various circus members, including a plot involving Jeff Bangs and questions about Myra's past. "Jane Arden" features the adventurous Jane as she pursues a story assignment, goes undercover to follow a bus, and engages in action sequences while competing with another newspaper and gathering information. A third story involves a pirate-themed adventure with a lady traveler meeting a notorious pirate called the Hawk, leading to complications with the pirate's crew and rescue attempts on the high seas.

The Ghost Spy

During World War I, a British officer turns the tables on German intelligence by impersonating a dead enemy spy, sending counterfeit messages signed with the executed agent's name—and the Germans unknowingly accept and pay for the false intelligence for three months. It's a fascinating real-world tale of espionage deception from John Hix's "Strange as It Seems" column.

Two strangers meet on a rainy street and share an umbrella—a gesture of kindness that quickly spirals into a ridiculous tug-of-war over who gets to hold it. As their squabble escalates, the two "brothers" find themselves entangled in chaos when a police officer appears on the scene.
