THE Little Detective.

The hardes, jhing which a play
wright has TO contend with, when
trying to get away from the beaten
paths Of melo-dramatic mediocrity,
is the tendency to drift unconscious
" into the verbose-to have his
characters say too much and do too
little. In The Little Detective this
fault has been happily avoided. Pro-
lix details give way to terse eXplana-
ton and there is not moment when

country for two hundred miles each
way out OF San Antonio is filled with
oaks of every description. especially
with verieties called black jack and
Spanish Oak that produce acorns in
great abundance and make unequal

ping his hogs to market the farmer
turns them into his sweet potato and
peanut patches alternately. BY this
system the farmer can produce hog
meat at from enc and half to two

the net result is both easy and pleas

Gated and served as farm laborer,
shoe maker and policeman before he
opened the news agents shop where
he wrote his monumental work in four
volumes. 1t was written under the
greatest difficulties, owing to the calls
upon his time in connection with the
work in the shop. His favorite atti-
tude while at work was to lie across
the counter. and in this way by far the
greater part of the four volumes was
written.
