LIPPINCOTT's MAGAZINE has intro
duced an agreeable diversity in its de-
partment of fiction by engaging some
stories from popular English novelists,
who are also widely known on this side
of the Atlantic. The February number
contains complete novel, "The Sign of
the Four; or, the Problem of the Sholtos, -
by A. Conan Doyle. The author of that
remarkable novel, Micah Clarke: His
Statement" which has created such a
sensation both in England and here,
needs no introduction. Mr. Doyle's last
story is even more powerful and brilliant
than micah Clarke" The scene is laid
in London, and the hero is detective,
whose marvellous ingenuity in solving a
seemingly insoluble mystery is portrayed
with so graphic pen that Conan Doyle
must take rank as leader in the line of
such writers as Poe, or Garboriau, or
Anna Katharine Green, Among detect
i've stories "The Sign of the Four" is
bound to become classic.
