No detectoplione or other record wa8
of the great talk that must have pur

celebrities existing, however, I did get
the next best thing by catching W. par

after his return from Windlesham mai

the detective went on, ''his aston- cha:

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

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.

Burns, "that I can tell you about I sel
