THE LITERARY OUTLOOK.

Sherlock HOImes-A Valuable Au-
tograph-Irving on the Shakes
peare-Baconjan Controversy.
By Herbert Brewster.
The most important book of fiction
to be issued this week is doubtless
Conan Doyle's THE Hound of the
Baskervilles," of which nearly $4,000
copies have already beeen sold. Now
that Sherlock Holmes has become such
a famous character, various critics are
trying to write his. geneaiogy. Mr. C.
K. Shorter says that Doyle is indebted
to Gabotiau for the character, but
most Americans will claim an Ameri-
can origin for the great detective.
Undoubtedly" thiese affirm Poe
was the originator of the intellectual
tracer of crime, whose astounding
deductions hold one breathless in the
stories"
1t has recently come to light that
the whole plot of THE Hound of the
Baskervilles," was conceived and
worked out in the authors mind in one
day.
1t happened at Cromer, pretty Eng
lish seaside resort, where the doctor
had gone for golf. On Saturday there
was a sharply contested game between
nlmSe1 ana Mr.. IS. FIeCcner HODln-
son, d prominent young London editor
and journalist. Both were anxious to
resume play on the following morning
but they had figured without the law.
In Cromer Sunday golf is a social
crime.
Disappointed and angry, the two
men looked about for some one to an
initiate; and they said things. Then,
like true Britishers, they filed their
pipes, Gained their souls, and proceed
ed to a philosophical discussion on the
unfitness of things in general, and the
folly of their own customs in particu-
lar. BY easy stages the talk led
through national bigotry and provin-
cial peculiarities to family prejudice,
and eventually to family ghosts.
The funniest thing about our ma
tional superstitions, said Mr.. Robin
son, lis that although an Englishman
almost invariably despises his neigh
boris ghosts. he still believes in his
own with chldlike implicitly, and is
deeply hurt by the doubts and slurs of
Others"
Whereupon Mr. Doyle dated on the
deep human interest of ghosts in gen.
eral and upon the charm of his own
pet ghost in particular, at the same
time laughing somewhat at the Gre
dulity of such as found it quite with

their Money in Advance" said the
Man IF they are not worrying over
the Future. l don't see why you should

So the Solicitor went out and told
every one along the Street that the
Man lacked Foresight.
At $3.50 o'clock the industrious little
Man picked up letter number ! and
said TO the Blonde Steno9rapher,

At that moment the Head OF the
Credit Department hit him on the Back
