Moat perron who read detective moat literary critics, too, atoriee. and believe that tkla verj popular form of Action wraa Invented by Edar Allan foe. They point to lila atory of The ruriolned Letter" a being the firet of Ita kind the Unit In which ia iurro-duce-d the man of keen mind, of cloaa reaaoaing and of constructive imagination. who ia aide to piece together certain facte that are know aud then by brilliant deduction to paaa from them to other facta width are not known, but the truth of whk'h ho la abio to eetablleh beyond a doubt. Foa bluiaelf had a mind precisely af this character the mind of a mathematician. subtle, logical and capabla of aearchlng analysis. Ue once gave a remarkable illustration of what ha could do aa an Investigator of myite-riuu- a crime. A young shopgirl named Mary Rogers waa found murdered under clrramstanren which eirited great public intercut In New Tort. The police were completely baffled, though they advanced a theory which waa plauaible la pari. Foe, taking the facts that were admitted, wore them Into a atory, the scene of which he laid la Paris and which ha called "The Mystery of Mario Rnget" Then from what waa known he passed by deductive reasoning te what waa quite unknown and worked out a solution to the puttie which no professional detective had bean able to explain. Years afterward the confession of a dying man afforded proof that Foe was right and that ha had reconstructed accurately the whole aeries of events whlrh led to the death of Mary Bo germ. , This remarkable achievement fixed In the public mind the notion that this use of logic blended with Imagination was original with roe. Aa a matter of fSct. it la almost certain that Poe, who waa deeply versed In French literature, got the suggestion of the method from reading certain pa wages in the oriental tale called "Zadlg," by Voltaire. In this book a young man la questioned as to whether he had aeon a stray dog nd homo that might have passed him on hia Journey. In reply he describes very accurately the peculiarities of both, though be had not seen them, lie had deduced hia knowledge, from obaerriog certain indlcatloua along the way the nature of the footprints and many other signs which the ordinary person would either not hava noticed or would hava been too dull to vudcrstsnd. Here Is really the germ af the conception which Foe so brilliantly elalmrated In the story of "The Purloined Letter, where we find exhibited the striking contrast between the working of a usual mind and the achievements of a mind of exceptional power and tralulug. Poe's central figure, the amateur detective, was afterward caught np and elaborated with great effect by several Frendi writer, of whom the chief waa Emile Gaborieu. Gaborlan gave the world the character of II. Lecoq In the remarkable novel of that name. Lecoq ia a professional detective but appears In that book aa a novice. Inexperienced, but full of Intelligence and enthusiasm and obliged to work out hia clews against the secret opposition of his official chief, Gevrot; who Is Jealous of the young detective. Ia the background Is the interesting figure of the real amatenr detective, old Father (Bring-to-llghtretired tradesman who studies crime from sheer lore of the Intellectual pua-l- e which it affords U)m and which he alvei by purely scientific deduction. Bir Conan Doyle In creating Sherlock Holmes openly acknowledged hia great Indebtedness to Poe. Like Foe's hero, Holmes works apart from the official police and la consulted by them when tbey are wholly at a loss. Many of the Incidents In the Holmes cycle of torlee were suggested. by the Inventions of Foe. Yet it is only fair to say that Doyle has gone one step farther than bis muter. Foes characters are abstractions. They are like chessmen an the board and excite Interest only bsrtuse of the complexity of tb problem which they are made to solve. Hoyle's characters, on the other band, are drawn with sympathy and a rtirewd insight into human nature. They entertain us by their whims and individual traits no less than by the adventures through which tbey pass. Thus Holmes' addiction to the cocaine habit, his trick of smoking great quantities of shag tobacco when thinking aut a problem, hia dislike of women. Ms skill aa a boxer In fact a score of halts all glrs him individuality and nake us think of him aa a fascinating character quite apart from his powers as deductive ressoner. And It Is so with the minor personages ss well Watson, the somewhat obtuse chroo-M- r of the adventures; Lest rad and Gregson of the official police and Moriarty, the arch criminal. But however brilliant Foe may have been, or however Ingeniously Gaborlan nay have spun tangled plots, or however ably Conan Doyle may have given Me and reality to the central figure of bla atoriea, they all derive their Inspiration, whether consciously or not.
