The Frank Stockton Case.

Nothing in the world of books has
attracted more attention in the past
few months than the publication OF a
book under the title of Return Of
Frank r. Stockton. 1t is volume
of short stories and reads just like
Stockton of old. This is not the first
reproduce the style of popular writ
er, but in this instance the claim is
made, and is we'll supported, that
the work is composed by Stockton,
and the real writing done by Miss de
Camp as his amanuensis. While the
world in general may scott at this and
the believers may accept it without
consideration, the society for phychi-
cal research is making thorough in
vestigatiOn of the matter. Miss de
Camp claims that she knew absolute
ly nothing Of the writing until after
she had written it; and if Stockton
can write from the spirit world why
cannot other authors find medium
for communication?
Even those who do not care to go
into the influences which produced
this work will find it very readable,
filled with Stockton humor-and it
certainly reads like his writings. The
stories are moral and amusing and
we'll worth reading. The careful read
er cannot fail to detect the manner
isms and expressions of Stockton
and in case they do not accept Miss
de Camps statements, they will
agree that she is mimic of rare in
telligence. After you have read the
book, you will be anxious for some
more of the sort.
