Doyle, (Arthur) Conan. [Return of Sherlock Holmes.] $1.50. McClure.
Thirteen short stories which chronicle the last adventures of the famous detective, who now retires from the public gaze to end his days on his Sussex bee-farm. There is the story of the mystery of the second stain, the adventure of the priory school, the adventure of the six Napoleons and others of equal mystery.
“Mr. Holmes is so interesting that he might easily be more so. Moreover, he is not so accurate as of yore.”
