MORE PENNSYLVANIA MOUNTAIN STORIES. —
Through the courtesy of the author, Mr. Henry
W. Shoemaker another volume of the truly de-
jightful “stories” is upon our desk. The one just
received—the second—is a beautifully printed
book of over 400 pages substantially bound and is
worthy a place in any library. Mr. Shoemaker,
we understand, was a former resident of McEl-
hattan, Clinton county, and writes into most
entertaining romances events, tradition and
legends connected with locations in this and
Clinton county. To each story he gives just
enough of local coloring and description to
enable the reader to recognize, not only the places
but many of the characters connected with the
tradition. Under the title of ‘‘Marsh Marigold"
the scenes of which are located in Brush valley
and over about Loganton; and the “Pitcher
Plant” that is written into a ghost story of the
Bear Meadows, he gives us two Centre county
tales, based on some historical data, with facts
that older citizens can verify, and romance
enough to hold the readers attention from the
first to the last line. The other stories of this
volume, are mostly located in Clinton and Potter
counties and will doubtless have many readers
who will recognize the places and persons re-
ferred to by the writer.
CONAN DOYLE WRITES GREATEST ADVENTURE
STORY EVER WRITTEN.—The new modern story
by Sir Arthur Doyle, which begins in the
Pittsburgh Post March 24th, is likely to
create a bigger sensation than any tale ever writ’
ten by one of the greatest masters of the story-
telling art the world has known.
It is a modern tale of adventure, written in the
fullness of the author's power, a product of his
developed, ripened genius. Never has he written
more brilliantly, more effectively. Never has he
been so ingenious, so picturesque. ‘The story is a
marvel of condensation, and its action is so rapid
that you will eagerly await every one of the 18
installments. It is impossible to escape the grip
of itsinterest, because it is so full of thrills, of
excifement; for the daring explorers encounter
dangers that only a great imagination could con-
ceive. And only a great writer with profound
scientific knowledge could make them real.
In this story Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is not con-
tent with a plot that makes his latest novel the
most sensationally interesting he has written: he
has been equally concerned about his characters.
One, at least, will go down in literary history as
the equal of Sherlock Holmes. He is every whit
as remarkable, as interesting, as the great de-
tective, and as different as day is from night. In
one respect’he is superior to Sherlock Holmes, in
that helis far more human.
