RTLLLAM WILKIE COLLINS.

The cable makes the sad announcement
that Wilkie Collins has been stricken down
by paralysis. AS the famous novelist is now
sixty-five years Of age it is not likely that
he will recover from the stroke.
If novelsts could be classified, like GER
tain other phenomena Of nature, the place
of Wilkie Collins would be at the head of
the class in the second rank of novelists.
He was not a great writer like Thackeray,
nor greSt humorist like Dickens. He
breathed no living soul into any of his char
acters. He created no such as Beckey Sharp,
or Col. Newcome, or Little Nell, or Pick
wick, or Sam Weller. The nearest approach
he ever made to such standard was with
Count Fosco in "The Woman in White"
and Captain Wagg in "No Name" All the
other characters he ever drew were mere
marionnettes moved by strings and wires.
1t is not the dramatis persona OF his novels
that hold the interest Of the readers. No
person cares a cent about any of them, 80
far as they are individually concerned, but
he has tremendous curiosity to solve the
mystery that surrounds them all. Therein
lies the power of WilkIe Collins He is the
best constructor of plots among all modern
writers. He is one of the best story tellers
in the English language From the first
chapter until the last the reader is kept per-
petually on the alert to discover how it will
all turn out His interest is excited almost
to the very last line. But when the story
is read and the puzzle solved, it has no
further attraction for the reader 1t is a
sucked orange. Neither the style nor the
character induces second reading.
A sound minded novel reader can read
Scott, Thackeray and Dickens every year or
80, and enjoys them almost as much as at
the initial reading. But it is not so with
Collins. One has to forget the plot before
he can read any OF his stories for the second
time. The greatest of his novels is the
"Woman in White" most wonderfully
fascinating story Next to this probably
stands "The Moonstone," although "Arma-
dale" "Poor Miss Fincl" and "The New
Magdalen" have their own excellences, and
marked degree of originality. The best
of his stories will be read for many years to
come. Whether they will excite much in
terest late in the twentieth century is doubt
full, but there can be no question that if they
are read they will be read with all the alb
sorbing interest that readers feel in them
to-day.
