of great gifts, as who could please the people
But the powerful realism, the capacity tor detail
the virle sympathy the heroic pattern the oneness
with nature, the unfettered imagination, that were
strikingy evident in the book revealed unden1ably
the soul and hand of master.
Here was a strong and sincere who was
brimming with that primal charm which we
call humanity. Here eye that saw 1fe
c1eany and sane1y and who painted it with
wonderful power The book passed through edi-
ton after edition-they now number twenty-five
and Doyle came into his own.
Study was his gift and his delight, and despite
success his study inCessant. He became the
leading member of the Criminal Club of London,
and read essays crime in all its aspects, Patho-
logical and social He joined the Society for
Psvchical Research and delighted in original
supernatural investigations. Fletcher Robinson,
editor of London Vanity Fair" an intimate friend
and collaboration of Doyes writes in this connecticut
1t may without give the record of
of these excursions Doyle told it to 1t reported
to the Psvchca Research Society that manifestations
had occurred in old manOr-hOuse Lancashire, and
Doyle and two other members journeyed down to make
investigation They found the house to be squarey built
with big central hall In it there lived widow her
daughter and her only They all seemed nervous and
Ill at ease.
The first night they heard curious noises but nothing
unusually remarkable On the second Sherlock Holmes
got to work After the household had gone to bed he
searched the house carefully spned flour to catch foot
steps, tied fine black thread all the stairs locked all
communicating DOORS and then posted his two companions
in convenient places for observation. He himself sat
the kitchen doorway that looked out into the hall.
About five minutes past twelve the whole house shook
with gigantic crash 1t Doyle told me, as If some
had dropped barrel from the roof into the
central hall In instant the watchers darted oHo find
nothing 1t remained inexplicable mystery. The
doors were all locked the threads untouched The flour
unmarked. They could discover place from which
weight could have been dropped When they left the place
report failure. Certain private suspicious Doyle
had but there evidence verify them If indeed
the tremendous due to supernatural agency the
failure Of Sherlock Holmes detect may be excused.
A ruling characteristic of Doyle as a novelist has
ever been the desire to draw from nature to see
with his eyes the scenes which his stories
pictured, to feel as his characters to feel
upon the actual ground 1t was tireless roaming
over the New Forest from his home in SOuthsea,
filled it IS with historical souvenirs and little
changed in the passage of years, that placed him in
touch with the dead-century days described in The
White Company. An illustration of this tendencyi is

though the detective
story, per Sc, can never
take rank among the
higher forms of litera-
ture, it is the solid
basis of Doyle's popu-
lar fame. However he
has assailed and may
assail the highest planes
of the literary art, he
will ever be popularity
known as the creator
Of Sherlock Holmes,
as is John Hay
of Little Breeches
and Bret Harte OF
The Heather Chinee.
Thus widely differs
the taste of the
critic and of the hoi
POlLoi.
After the success
of Micah Clarke - he
worked all the hard
er, became ali the
more painstaking, de
veloped still higher
ideals. Money did not
tempt him from artis-
tic conscientiousness.
He proved, in short,
that he could stand
success-and there are
few who can. Only the
love of art, whatever
the art may be, can
survive this greatest
test. In 1890 appeared
The White Company,

One of the most interesting weeks that spent was

One morning took Doyle to the mighty bog taau-

sisted showed that it a labor of love and not
of profit Literature his instinct; he could not
help it. No rose or ever Will rise to great
ness in anv branch of human endeavOr which he
does not love. 1t is the love OF the work which
defies Encouragement, which causes constant prac-

can thus finally endow artists work with that
ease of execution which call great. To be great
is to be able do without effort that which others
find to be impossible.
A potent result of these ten years of unsuccessful
writing was thus a steady Improvement in style
The disappointed" said Dsraeh, are always
Young" and DOYLE as a writer remained d1sappo1nt-
ed fresh Young ardent and ever more panstakng.
Early recognition by his public would have spoiled
him as it has spoiled many But as the goal eluded
him. he strove harder to attain 1t, was develop
ing himself in a way that he knew not or f1nally
he wrote Micah Clarke his first important book
1t was refused so firmly and so consistently by SO
MANY publishers that even his courageous spirit grew
weary He finally sat down before the dirty dog S

sad hours and wondered if he could sell 1t to any
BODY for forty shiings. Before trying this, how
ever he sent it to "Longman's" and it fell into
the appreciatve hands of Andrew Lang. 1t was
accepted published in 1888, and the young authors
fame was established. The way opened, literature
was revealed his true career and medicine passed
into the background, secondary, though always
important element in his daily life.
Strange to saw Sherlock Holmes, his most
famous creation had made his introduction year
prior to Micah Clarke" without arousing any
exceptional interest. Holmes first public ap
pearance was in the Study in Scarlet. This too
had met with numberess refusals, but was finally
sold for twenty-five pounds to "BeetOns Christ

is an interesting commentary upon the ethical
condition and literary taste of our time that this
detective has penetrated all countries and APP

rival Moriarity; but publisher and public alike
insisted upon his return to life and activity. And
