the Second precinct station in Willow

Sarge, there's body of man tied up in a
bag floating in the water at Fletcher 6

better send some cops to fish him out and
look him over"
-All right, we'll be on the job right away,
replied the sergeant. and the man at the
other end of the wire rang OIL in hurry.
Policeman Harrison was sent to the river
front and Morgue Keeper Volk was ordered
to remove the i,u4y to his establishment.
The cop reached Fletcher's several minutes
before the morgue wagon. He saw some
thing bobbing On the water and got men to
help him fish it out. He, realized that
something was wrong when the bag
struck the dock. He ripped the bag open
ard gazed for moment upon the classic
features OF a cigar store Indian.

e has simply broadened and deepened in the
last one.
The second point brought out bears upon the
ways Of modern criticism. and the popularity
OF authors. We are apt to infer. from the queer
manner in which a mediocre book is sometimes
exalted. in the newspapers and out OF them.
while a work of merit is apparently neglected.
that any fool can be doomed into success. and
that man of genius has too often to wait a
long time for his reward But observe the nor
NAL development of Miss Sinclair's career. She
publishes Audrey Craven" in 1897; its fair
but not extraordinary value is so far recog-
nized that it goes into a second edition. and
then. quite naturally. It falls back into the
limbo Of things excellent but not inspired
year later her second novel wins some appro-
baton, but does not. so far as we know get
into another edition, and this. too. is entirely
natural Looking closely into these books. we
are bound TO admit that they have been treated
according to their deserts. Several years pass,

strengthened her art. Miss Sinclair writes THE

readers on both sides of the A tlantic Does not
the episode spell good sense all round? The
author has been faithful to herself The critics
have done their duty. The public has given TO
each of Miss Sinclairs books. as II has appeared.
the right need Of appreciation. These things
are worth remembering, since they go to prove
that sanity and Justice survive in the world Of
letters. no matter what the doings Of stupid
writer's and readers may suggest to the con-
trary All that is needed to make the case"
perfect is for Miss Sinclair to set herself like
adamant against the temptation to profit by
her success bv writing another book before she
is really ready to put her pen to paper again.
