}story which comes from Oakland
aA-AgT.. is reminiscent Of Wilkie Collins
"Moonstone." After 80 years it would
seem as though Collins were vindicat-
ed. There are but two improbable
elements In "The Moonstone." when
IL IS carefully considered. First, that
Col. John Herncastle could ever have
secured and for half century have
retained the famous Indian diamond.
Second, that Franklin Blake could
nave stolen it, while under the infiu-
ence OF laudanum, and then have re-
FlPeated his theft, a year later, while
again under the influence of the same
drug. In the lives of soldiers of for
tune stranger things have actually
happened than the theft of a great
diamond from the head of an idol.
New and actual occurrence goes to
prove that the laudanum incident in
troduced by Collins into his famous
story was not wild flight of the nov
elist's imagination.
The Oakland story Is to the effect
THAI painter fell from a scaffold and
was seriously injured. He was
placed under an anesthetic and oper-
ated upon. In his Inconsistencies he
babbled continually of fortune of
100000 which awaited him in Eng
land. When the man regained con-
seriousness and the surgeons joked
him of the supposed wild dreams which
CT &c,
brain completely cleared from the
shallow which had long hung over it
ana he proved that the fortune did &C.
tually await him. Subsequent devel-
opments show the mans story to be
substantially true.
1t was something like 80 years ago
that Wilkie Collins used this very
idea as the chief mystery of his IA
nous story. Readers of THE Moon
stone" will recall that Collins quotes
scientific works in his novel to prove
his theories. He tells of a London
porter who was intrusted with valu-
able package to deliver, who became
intoxicated. and on SOLDERING could
not remember where had left the
package. TIE next time he was
drunk. however. he remembered the
entire affair and secured the package
where he had left it.
Collins then adapted this incident
to his own needs. Franklin Blake, I'M
used to laudanum. was given heavy
dose, and while under the intoxicat-
ing effects of the drug went to the
room of Rachel Vandiver ani stole
the Moonstone. Next day, when the
sedative effects of the drug had
pa1sed away, Blake had no knowl-
edge of his nights action Collins
Keeps Blake in this ignorance for q
year, and then gives him an inkling |
of the truth. The experiment is tried |
of reproducing the surroundings as |
nearly as possible as they had been |
when Moonstone disappeared, and I'M
der the influence of another dose OF
laudanum Blake repeats his visit.
/ The Oakland story differs in some
particulars from the Collins incident,
but the dominating idea is the same.
For almost two decades "The Moon
stone" has been looked upon as one
of the best examples of imaginative
writing extant. But Collins is in a
fair way to follow Jules Verne.
