A Taxi Detective.
Some time ago Sir Arthur Cloven
Doyle arrived in Paris from the Bleier-
la, and, having hailed a taxi at the
station, drove to his hotel. As he
paid his fare be was rather surprised
when the chauffeur said. "Thank you,
Monsieur Conan Doyle!"
"How did you loaow my name?"
asked Sir Arthur,
"Quito simply," the chauffeur re-.
tailed. "I read in the newspapers that
you were coming from Nice, At the
station I examined you and saw that
you were English, Your bee:: seemed :
to mo to have been cut by a southern
barber, and on the heel ot your shoe
were traces of Marseilles mud."
Sir Arthur stared at hire in astonish-
