21. The Coils of Chance by Richard Connell.
Richard Connell's The Coils of Chance isn't as famous as his masterpiece, "The Most Dangerous Game," but reviews of this short story highlight its gentle humor and focus on a shy, altruistic man, Gilbert Benner, who anonymously gives away Christmas turkeys, contrasting with Connell's usual suspense; it's seen as a warm, character-driven piece about unassuming goodness and selflessness, a different flavor from his thrilling tales.
