_Certain stories of distinction published in the following magazines during this period are indexed, because they have been specially called to my attention._ American Hebrew American Jewish Chronicle Rod and Gun in Canada _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." An asterisk before the name of an author indicates that he is not an American. 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 parenthesis 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 _All._ All-Story Weekly _Am._ American Magazine _Am.
