"I know your patience is wholly exhausted by this time, and I close."

E subscribe to Mr. McCanless' opening sentence and his view of Poe, but we disagree with his opinion of "The Transparent Ghost." That story HAD to be printed. It fairly howled for printer's ink, and we couldn't deny its plea. We shall have more to say of this story next month.

Meanwhile, let us consider the following from H. P. Lovecraft, who has contributed a good deal to these sprightly pages. Mr. Lovecraft writes:

"My dear Baird: I was indeed glad to receive yours of the 14th, and to learn that your readers are taking kindly to my tenebrous effusions, as represented by 'Dagon'. I hope they'll like its successors as well—for I can certainly give them all you think they'll take! That 'The Hound' merits your favour is pleasing news to me. I wrote it a year ago in New York, when I had been exploring an old Dutch cemetery in Flatbush, where the ancient grave-stones are in the Dutch language, with such beginnings as 'Hier Lydt' or 'Tier leght begraaven'. My companion was Rheinhart Kleiner, (whose verse you may have seen in some of the popular magazines) and when we picked some scaling red slate from one of the slabs as souvenirs, I wondered what thing might come to us some midnight to punish us for the wanton desecration.

"And here is another horror for your approval or rejection. This thing—whose long title you can shorten to 'The Late Arthur Jermyn' if the original presents typographical problems—was written about two years ago. Its origin is rather curious—and far removed from the atmosphere it suggests. Somebody had been harassing me into reading some work of the iconoclastic moderns—those young chaps who pry behind exteriors and unveil nasty hidden motives and secret stigmata—and I had nearly fallen asleep over the tame backstairs gossip of Anderson's 'Winesburg, Ohio'. The sainted Sherwood, as you know, laid bare the dark arcana which many whited village lives concealed; and it occurred to me that I, in my weirder medium, could probably devise some secret behind a man's ancestry which would make the worst of Anderson's disclosures sound like the annual report of a Sabbath School. Hence Arthur Jermyn. Most of those who have seen the MS. profess themselves properly horrified—all, in fact, except one chap who has traveled in
