published in the past, but many of
the best are still to come. 1t is the
only paper in Chicago now running
Sherlock Holmes stories.
The Record-Herald has only re-.
Gently begun or the Memoirs of

teen Of these famous detectives tales.
The stories, which have been appear
ing only on Sundays, are now to run
right along through every day of

les is to be followed by two long

advantage Of this chance to read the
