The next criticism | read was more
definite. 1t spoke of the story as the
most subtle Of all Miss Quigley's won

of the stories Of eminent detective
story writer's who left purposely a
shadow of doubt in the readers mind
just what was intended. The story of

ment of which was left to the reader,
was cited as a most successful effort
In this line of work.
An idea popped into my brain Turn

following item, which l sent to trade
paper devoted to book news:
The Gem of Good Hope" by Alice
Quigley, is new departure in detective
story writing. After ably leading the
each calculated to suggest a theory the
writer with cOnsummate skill brings the
story to an end upon theory not at all
in harmony with the facts laid down,
leaving the reader to form any theory
that he can fit to the narrative.
Having secured the publication of
this item in one paper, l took meas
ures to have it copied by others. 1t
was not long before many of those
who read the book had heard that it
was intended for a puzzle to be work
ed out by the reader. The consequence
was that every reader perused the
pages with the utmost attention in or
der that he might be the better able
to form the correct theory.

authority for the following facts in re-
gard to the sale Of cotton on the local
market on last Saturday. There were
seventeen bales marketed here on that
day and the average price per bale was
about $55. The average price per bale
for the cotton sold on the same date
one year ago was between sSl and sS2.
And even with this difference in price
the price is still rising and December
futures are now almost twelve cents
