The present list includes a small number of distinctive
stories published between October, 1919 and September, 1920, which I was
unable to read last year owing to labor and transportation
difficulties._
_One, two, or three asterisks are prefixed to the titles of stories to
indicate distinction. Three asterisks prefixed to a title indicate the
more or less permanent literary value of the story, and entitle it to a
place on the annual "Rolls of Honor." Cross references after an author's
name refer to previous volumes of this series. (H.) after the name of an
author indicates that other stories by this author, published in
American magazines between 1900 and 1914, are to be found indexed in
"The Standard Index of Short Stories," by Francis J. Hannigan, published
by Small, Maynard & Company, 1918. The figures in parentheses after the
title of a story refer to the volume and page number of the magazine. In
cases where successive numbers of a magazine are not paged
consecutively, the page number only is given in this index._
_The following abbreviations are used in the index:_
_Adv._ Adventure
_Ain._ Ainslee's Magazine
_Am._ American Magazine
_Am. B._ American Boy
_Apropos._ Apropos
_Arg._ Argosy All-Story Weekly
_Asia.
