'''READ HIS OWN TALES.'''

'''Dr A. Conan Doyle Gave Selections From Sherlock Holmes.'''

Association hall was fairly filled last evening at [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr A. Conan Doyle]]'s reading.

His first reading was from "[[Micah Clarke]]," and comprised a sketch of the wicked Judge Jeffreys. He next gave a scene from [[Sherlock Holmes]], showing his methods of deduction.

Then came a selection from "[[The Refugees]]," giving the story of how Louis XIV read the mail, going out of and coming into the court of Versailles, a most amusing sketch in which the opinions of certain courtiers were freely expressed. The last selection was a little study of old age.

This afternoon [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr Doyle]] will make his last appearance in Boston, and in addition to reading an unpublished tale, "[[The Medal of Brigadier Gerard|The Medal of the Brigadier Gerrard]]," his selections will include, "The Opening of the Bags," "[[[[A Straggler of '15|The Straggler of Fifteen]]]]," "Waterloo," "The Hairless Man," and [[Sherlock Holmes]]' story of "[[SPEC|The Speckled Band]]."
