Transcriber's Notes:

Missing full stops have been added for ease of reading.

Discrepancies in spelling have been standardized across stories.

Unusual spellings have been retained.

The book is titled "Illustrated", but there are no illustrations for
this edition.

The Short Story "The Accursed Bread" has a subsection marked "II",
but there is no subsection "I".

The Table of Contents in the book lists the story, "Love" at Page 263,
however the text shows it starting on page 262. The Table of Contents
has been adjusted accordingly.
