that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle arrived at Paris
from Marseilles and Lyons. The cabman who
brought him from the station to the hotel ad-
dressed him by his name Sir Arthur sur

replied that he had read in his paper that the
famous Conan Doyle would come TO Marseiles

the strangers hair was cut by a MarseilleS
barber, and that on the heel OF his left shoe
was dirt from Lyons The novelist was highly
gratified TO that his Sherlock Holmes
