Lippiac0t's Magazine has introduced an
agreeable diversity in its department Of fiction
| by engaging some stories from popular English
| novelistS who are also widely known upon 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 q sensation both in England
and here needs no introduction TO American
readers. Mr.. Doyle's last story is even moro
powerful and brilliant than Micah Clarke. T"
The scene is laid in London, and the hero is .
detective, whose marvellous ingenuity in sOlv-
ing seemingly insoluble mystery is portrayed
with SO graphic pen that Conan Doyle must
take rank as a leader in the line of such writer's
as Poe, or Gaboriau or Anna Katharine Green.
Among detective stories The Sign Of the
Four" is bound to become classic.
