Dey, who committed suicide in a New York hotel, aged 61, was the author of 1076 of the Nick Carter novels. Edgar Allan Poe created the first real detec- tive stories—“The Gold Bug,” “The Murders of DARING VISIT No Christian had ever visited Mecca, Arabia, birthplace of Mohammed, ‘until Sir-Ri¢hard Bur- ton smuggled himself in as a True Believer. If the Rue Morgue” and “The Mystery of Marie jdetected, he'd have been killed by the Mohanime- dans. he : Burton had lived among the Arabs so long and knew their languages 30. thoroughly that he posed as one of them, hiring out as.a professional story \teller. Later he translated into English the only accurate version of “The 1001 Tales of the Ara- ‘pian Nights.” 3.55'C 03/7 Roget.” | Gaboriau,- Frenchman, originated the first .14- karat detective novels. His star character, Lecoq, is one’of the four greatest detectives of fiction. Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes was the third. The fourth was Nick Carter. ’ Nick Carter was really a syndicate. John R. mg Coryell created him.' “Others with Dey. and Eu- gene T. Sawyer far in the lead, continued the stream of Nick Carter stories that were translat- ed into 12 languages. In South Africa, Nick is better known than Shakespeare. The plots of at, Jeast jhalf the, hort stories you read are re-hashings of, rabian Nights. You have read the ones about Aladdin and his wonder- iful lamp, Sinbad the Sailor, and Ali Baba and. the Forty Thieves. Many of the others are sold only under Icck and key—aneient jazz. These four are easily the leaders in detective, fiction. From a technical standpoint, their near- est rival is Doctor Bentiron, the super-scientific detective of Ernest M. Poate’s stories. _ EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

Princess Therma, who had _ been watching from the tower of her Castle of Mirrors, saw them coming, and made a signal to the. furious falcon who guarded the gate of King Indig’s | palace. For the first time in a thousand years, the furious falcon forsook his post and flew to a tree near her win- dow. “The falcon’s gone — the falcon’s gone!” cried the people, and instantly there was a chase to catch the ancient bird. The falcon, with his, steel feathers :.ll sharply barbed, had been King Indig’s only army. “Quick! Catch him!” called King Indig, forgetting all about playing hopscotch and joining in the chase himself. Everybody ran and by and by they came to the park where they (‘ound the falcon resting outside Princess Therma’s window. But before anyone had time to climb the tree, there was a noise in the air and Nancy, Nick and the dove arrived, followed in a moment by King Verdo, who looked like a flying machine. When King Indig saw King Verdo \he scowled, and when King Verdo saw King Indig he frowned. My! how hose two ‘hated each other! Princess Therma looked at them both and shuddered. Then she stroked the white dove which had flown to her window sill.’ “Oh, I can’t marry either of them,” she sighed. “They are both so ugly!” Suddenly the falcon cried out, “Silence everybody! It is now to be decided which of these two gentlemen is the finer looking. Longhead the Wiseman has decided, and his words jare on a record which the Twins brought here where all can hear.” (To be continued.) (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service.)
