Didn't "The Parthian Shot" in SMART SET pre-date

George, you are certainly right as to cover date in that "The
Parthian Shot" appeared in the October 1922 issue of "The
Smart Set." I checked William F. Nolan's biography. The
source for my "10 Story Book" comment references Laymon but
is either wrong or referring to something other than cover
date, such as date of sale. I threw in the comment because
the linking of Hammett with Harry Stephen Keeler was funny
and called the bit of fluff in the November 1922 issue of "10
Story Book" a "story" to excite the completists.
