reprcssing his desire to wander, he settled down
at Southsea to become a conventional doctor.

written a story called The Mystery of the Sassassa

viewed from this point, Conan Doyle Is a rarer and
more novel creation than Sherlock Holmes. The
Sherlock Holmes idea, the basic principle which
this modern detective wrought his wonderful results,
was we'll developed by the elder Dumas and Others.
Doyle. story-teer, Is entirely his creation.
He holds the priceless secret of success and it Is
a quest OF no little interest to all his readers to
discover. if possible, what that secret IS.
The first impression the ma jor cause, the domi
nant note, that strikes he considers him and
his work is physical energy. Whenever and wherever
the powerful body IS united with the active imagin
alton success any line of endeavor is certain, and
greatness, as the word goes, Is possible Such are
our great statesmen, great artists, great
lawyers. It is useless for the mind to conceive
greatly unless the body stand the severer
strain of executing greatly. With the gift OF
suIerabundant energy. however Sir Arthur has
the unusual characteristic OF bgness. He IS over
six feet in height stalWart, muscular, seeing all
things IN a big, large-hearted way. In this he IS
unique as most of the world great and nearly
all Of the world great novests have been short
in stature-they have never lacked in physical
energy, but their visible development has been
mental rather than physical. He is member of
the AthenBum and the National Sporting Clubs
OF London, two organizations far apart in all
things as the Poles And this Is way OF
saving that he is a of high physical and
mental ideals, which indeed is the first and most
prominent popularity manifest in his novels, his
characters and his general literary plan.
And it IS most interesting to note how this big
numbering boy in school at StOnyhurst, this boy
who wanted to be and easily could have been one
Of England's famous cricketers, was led into the
path Of his great success. We hear much Of the
destiny which shapes ends -; but here is that
destiny active operation before eyes, reveal
ing its action step bv step. He knew nothing OF

upon his work.
Better than this, however, they gave him the

power of close observation and the ability repro

feature of Sir Arthurs historical novels is not
much the elaborate and painstaking fidelity in
details, but the convincing power OF the result.
