i,L,srnns OF THE SHORT sronY.

MASTERS OF THE SHORT STORY.
Best" short stories are probably as
difficult to select and agree upon as
best novels, best poems, or best any
thing else. IL the men in the street
would be quite frank about it there
would be almost as many minds about
these matters as there are men. Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle in his new book
of criticism, makes the attempt to be
definite. He gives these as his choice
OF the eight greatest stories in the
English language: Poe's Cold Bug"
and Murders in the Rue Morgue." Bret
Harte's Luck of the Roaring Camp"
and "rennessee's Partner" Stevenson's
cdr. Jeykll and Mr.. Hyde" and THE
Pavilion on the Links" kpling's
Drums of the Fore and Aft'' and The
Man Who Would Be King"
Sir Arthur has written good stories
himself. his judgment is excellent. and
his list is "a fine one. One thing note
worthy about j! is that each author
represented at all is represented twice.
liNlc GiS SJSIlt SSolits, buL lpuI men
wrote them all. To Eeneralize, this
would mean, In Sir Artliur's view, that
man who has already written ono
great story is more likely TO write a
second great one than another man is
to write a first one. In this view, it
would appear, Sir Arthur is emincntly
wise.
The short story is a difficult literary
form, and singulariy few men have
been the masters of 1t. Those who
have mastered 1T have usually been
artists VINO excensd. at the other forms
