One example of allusion in "The Ransom of Red Chief" is the title itself, which alludes to the ancient Greek myth of King Midas. In the myth, King Midas' daughter was kidnapped and held for ransom. By referencing this myth in the title, O. Henry creates an ironic connection to the story's plot where the kidnappers end up wanting to pay someone to take the mischievous boy, rather than receiving a ransom for his return.
