"I always have been one of the S keenest admirers of the Sherlock com Holmes stories," said Burns, "and brie I was anxious to meet Sir Arthur but when I first came over here two years thin ago, but he then was in Germany won on a visit to Prince Henry of Prussia, A the Kaisers, brother. This time, how- posi ever on hearing that I was here, Sir by Arthur called on me and we had a job fine talk, lasting a couple of hours, rest at the end of which he invited me to spend the week-end with him, JAC which, of course, I was delighted to do. Bla< "I hardly know which impressed TBD tlio r?i arn aKah^ Oin A ?? ^ ?uv vuv iiivi auu ui> on A1 llllir, I the detective went on, ''his aston- cha: lshing store of information upon nigl every possible subject, or his quiet the modesty. Most men who had creat- porl ed a character like Sherlock whom bun I consider the greatest detective in con flcion (let alone the other things indi Doyle has done) would be so swel- veri led up that you couldn't hand them tion a peach on the end of a fish-pole. T but there isn't the slightest indica- yesl tion in Sir Arthur's manner that he taki realizes that he is a big man. Never- and theless, without knowing who or Sell what he. was, I could have picked for him out in any surrounding what- sess ever for exactly the man he is, and ney in Lady Doyle he has a charming mer wife who makes a delighftul hostess. J 'Windlesham' is a fine house, cram- thai med full of interesting things, and in i standing in the mid^t of the most pho beautiful country I eversaw. It is stip several miles from the railway sta- com tion at Crowborough, and Sir Arthur *' drove M. Stefansson, another re- not markable man, and myself both ways ovid in his big automobile. He is only Hist a few miles, by the way, from Bur- do wash, the home of Itudyard Kipling hone whom I met on my former visit over face here." mir< PRACTICAL, TOO. A "I often have been asked," Burns fenc went on, "if the principles outlined reco by Conan Doyle in the Sherlock wns Holmes stories could be applied in jury real detective work, and my replyto this question is, decidedly, 'Yes.' co,n The two great qualities necessary post in successful sleuthing are imagina- * tion and resourcefulness, added to by i an expert knowledge of human T nature and exactly those three qual- late ities characterize Sir Arthur. S "We talked quite a lot about Slier- Jolii lock Holmes,- as a matter of fact I vest did most of the talking?and I was surprised to discover that the per- pur< son who apparently is least impressed with those wonderful stories is the man v\ ho wrote them." "Did he say anything about writ- A s ing any more?" I asked hoping that A Sir Arthur might have had a change of heart since he wrote on the sub- ^or ject a couple of months ago. "No," said Burns, "be didn't, A unfortunately. He was intensely interested, bye the bye, in the work- And ing of the detectophone, a specimen of which I took down to Windlesham And and when he returned to London,, he went with me to see the moving pitcures which were made in Amer- A si ica and are to he shown A of the exposure of the land swindlers,' In which I play a modest part. l,'?r Of course, too, he made me tell him the stories of all my biggest cares, and his comments and the '^n<' questions he put were exactly what I should have expected from the Dooi author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
