They are being published at the rate of one a week and each one fills an entire page ot The Journal. Each one is a complete story in itself of bow the great detective solved some strange' and inexplicable crime mystery. Each is of the most absorbing interest and in supposed to be told by Sherlock Holmes' friend and admirer. Dr. Watson. Conon Doyle is perhxps the most fa mous of Enirlish story-tellers, and be first won fame by these very stories. Ho great was the demand for these advei tures of tbe detective whom he had conceived, that the author, after writing enough of them to fill three volumes, was forced in sheer despera tion to kill Sherlock Holmes off in the thrilling adventure-described as "The Final Prebjem." Recently, tempted by a big offer, he made the great mistake of bringing Sherlock Holmes to life and writing some more stories of him. Tbeee are held by good judges to be far below the original stories in merit.
