Newspaper Page Textf a. S A CTIinV IM BY A. CONAN DOYLE. CHAPTER V. Our Advertisement Brings a Visitor. Our la too much was tired After Holmes' departure for the con cert, I lay down upon the sofa and en deavored to get a couple of hours' sleep. It was a useless attempt My mind had been so much excited by all that had occurred and the strangest fancies and surmises crowd ed Into It. Every time that I closed my eyes I saw before me the distorted, baboon Uke countenance of the murdered man. So sinister was the Impression which that face produced upon me that I found It difficult to feel anything but gratitude for him who had removed Its owner from the world. If ever human features bespoke vice of the most malignant type they were certainly those of Enoch J. Drebber, of Cleveland., Still, I recognized that Justice must be done, and that the depravity of the victim was no condonement In the eyes of the law. The more I thought of It the more extraordinary did my companion's hy pothesis, that the man had been poi soned, appear. I remembered how he had sniffed his Hps and had no doubt that he bad de tected something which had given rise to the Idea. Then, again, If not poison, what had caused the man's death, since there was neither wound nor marks of strangulation? . But, on the other hand, whose blood was that which lay so thickly upon the floor? There were no signs of a strug ' gle, nor had the victim any weapon with which he might have wounded an antagonist. As long as all these questions were unsolved I felt that sleep would he no easy matter, either for Holmes or my self. His oulet. self-confident manner con vlnced me that he had already formed a theory which explained all the facts, though what it was I could not for an Instant conjecture. He was very late In returning so late that I knew that the concert could not have detained him all the time, Dinner was on the table before he ap peared. "It was magnificent,' he said, as he took his seat. "Do you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of producing and appre ciating it existed among the human race long before the power of speech was arrived at. Perhaps that is why we are so subtly influenced by It. There are vague memories In our souls of those mlBty centuries when the world was In its childhood." "That's rather a broad Idea," I re marked "One's Ideas must be as braod as Nature If they are to Interpret Nature," ho answered. "What's the matter? You're not looking quite yourself. This Brixton road affair has upset you." "To tell the truth, it has," I said. "I ought to be more case-hardened after my Afghan experiences. I saw my own comrades hacked to pieces at Maiwand without losing my nerve. "I can understand. There Is a mys tery about this which stimulates the Imagination; where there is no lmagl nation there is no horror. Have you seen the evening paper? "No." "It gives a fairly good account of the affair. It does not mention the fact that when the man was raised up a woman's wedding ring fell upon the floor. It Is Just as well It does not, "Why?" "Look at this advertisement," he answered. "I had one sent to every paper this morning Immediately after the affair. He threw the paper across to me, and I glanced at the place indicated It was the first advertisement In the "Found" column "In Brixton road," It ran, "a plain gold wedding ring, found in the road way between the White Hart Tavern and Holland Grove. Apply Dr. Wat son, 221 B Baker street, between 8 and SI this evening, "Excuse my using your name," he said. "If I used my own some of these dunderheads would recognlie It, and want to meddle In the affair." "That is all right," I answered. "But supposing any one applies, I have no ring." "Oh, yes, you have," said he, hand lng me one. "This will do very well . It Is almost a fac-slmlle." "And who do you expect will answer this advertisement?" "Why, the man in the brown coat our florid friend with the square toes If he does not come himself he will Bend an accomplice "Would he , not consider It ' as too dangerous?" N "Not at all. If my view of the case is correct, and I have every reason to believe that It Is, this man would rath' er risk anything than lose the ring, According to my notion he dropped It while stooping over Drebber'g body and did not miss It at the time. After leaving the house he discovered hi loss and hurried back, but found the police already in possession, owing to his own folly in leaving the candle burning. He had to pretend to hi drunk in order to allay the suspicions which might have been aroused by his appearance at the gate. Now put your self In that man's place. On thinking the matter over, it must have occurred to him that It was possible that he had lost the ring in the road after leaving- the house. What would be do then? He would eagerly look out tor the evening papers. In the hope of seeing- It among the articles found. His eve. of course, would light upon this, He would be overjoyed. Why should he lear a trap? There would be no reason, In his eyes, why the flnd'ng of the ring should be connected with the murder. He would come. He will ronie. Tou shall see him within nn hour." "A.nd then?" 1 asked. "Oh, you can leave me to deal with him then. Have you any arms?" "I have my old service revolver and a few cartridges." "You had better clean It and load It. He will be a desperate man. and though I shall take him unawares it is as well to be ready for anything." I went to my bedroom and followed his advice. When I returned with the p!tol the table had been cleared, and Holmes was engaged. In h's favorite occupation of scraping upon his vio lin. 'The plot thickens." he said, as I en tered. "I hnve just had an answer to my American telegram. Mr view of the case is the correct one." mornings eieruous oiuu , , . nn,.T,at When the fel- i i. m , lor uiy w iicn.vu, ... . ; -,, t Mm In an nrd narv , ... . ... ... ,. vi. n oui in mo ajiernuuu. .

That will do. Now put the key on the Inside. Thank you! This Is a queer old book I picked up at a stall yester day 'De Jure Inter Gentes' pub lished In Latin at Lelge in the Low lands in 1642. Charles' head was still firm on his shoulders when this little brown-backed volume was struck off." "Who Is the printer?" "Phllllppe de Croy, whoever he may have been. On the fly-leaf, In very faded Ink, is written 'Ex llbrls Guliol- . ml Whyte." I wonder who William Whyte was? Some pragmatical sev- etiteenth century lawyer, I presume. ' His writing has a legal twist about It. : Here comes our man, i minK. As he spoke there was a sharp ring i at the bell. Sherlock Holmes rose softly and moved his chair In the dl-1 reotion of the door. 1 We heard the servant pass along the hall, and the sharp click of the latch as she opened It Does Doctor Wason live here?" Rsked a clear but rather harsh voice. We could not hear the servant's re ply, but the door closed, and some oue began to ascen the steps. The footfall was an uncertain and shuffling one. A look of surprise passed over the face of my companion as he listened to It. It came slowly along the passage, and there was a feeble tap at the door. "Come In! I cried. At my summons, instead of the man of violence whom we expected, a very old and wrinkled woman-hobbled Into the apartment. She appeared to be dazzled by the sudden blaze of light, and after" drop ping a courtesy, she stood blinking at us with her bleared eyes and fumbling In her pocket with nervous, shaky fin gers. I glalnced at my comparison, and h's face had assumed such a disconsolate expression that it was all I could do to keep my countenance. The old crone drew out an evening paper, and pointed at our advertise ment. It's this as has brought me, good gentlemen," she said, dropping another courtesy; "a gold wedding ring In the Brixton road. It belongs to my girl, Sally, as was married only this time twelvemonth, which her husband Is steward aboard a Union boat,, and what he'd say if he come 'ome and found her without her ring is more than I ban think he being short enough at the best o' times, but more especially when he has the drink. If it pleases you, she went to the cl'rcus last night along with " "Is that her ring?" I asked. "The Lord be thanked!" cried the old woman. "Sally will be a glad ; wnman thin nltrnf Thnf'a h finer" u.n.. . vv ...... "And what may your address be?" I Inquired, taking up a pencil, 13 Duncan street, Houndsdltch. A weery way from here." "The Brixton road does not He be tween any circus and Houndsdltch," said Sherlock Holmes, sharply. The old woman faced around and looked keenly at him from her little red-rlmmed eyes. "The gentleman asked me for my ad dress," she said. "Sally lives in lodg ings at 3 Mayfleld place, Peckham." "And your name la "My name is Sawyer hers is Den nis, which Tom Dennis married her and a smart, clean lad, too, as long as he's at sea, and no steward in tho company more thought of; but when on shore, what with the women and what with liquor shops " , "Here Is your ring, Mrs. Sawyer, ' I Interrupted In obedience to a sign from my companion; "It clearly belongs to your daughter, and I am glad to be able to restore it to the rightful owner. With many mumbled blessings and protestations of gratitude, the old crone packed It away In her pocket, and shuffled off down the stairs. Sherlock Holmes sprang to his feet the moment she was gone and rushed Into his room. He returned In a few seconds en veloped In an ulster and a cravat. "I'll follow her, he said, hurriedly; "she must be an accomplice, and will lead me to him. Wait up for ,me.'i The hall door had hardly slammed behind our visitor before Holmes had descended the stair. Looking through the window, I could see her walking feebly along the other side, while her pursuer dogged her some little distance behind. 'Either his whole theory Is incor rect," I thought to myseif, "or else he will be led now to the heart of the mystery." There was no need for him to ask me to wait up for him, for I felt that sleep was Impossible until I heard tho result of his adventure. It was close upon nine when he set out I had no idea how long he might be, but I sat stolidly puffing at my pipe and skipping over the pages of Henri Murger's "Vie de Boheme." Ten o'clock passed, and I heard the footsteps of the .maids as they pat tered off to bed. Eleven and the more stately tread of the landlady passed my door, bound for fhe same destina tion. It was close upon twelve before I beard the sharp sound of his latchkey. The Instant he entered I saw by his face that he had not been successful. Amusement and chagrin seemed to be struggling for the mastery, until the former suddenly carried the day, and he burst into a hearty lauh. "I wouldn't have the Scotland Yarl ers know it for the world," he criel, dropping Into a chair. "I hav chaffed them so much that they would never have let me hear the end of it. I can afford to laugh, because I know that I will be even with them In the lorg run." "What Is It th-n?" I asked. "Oh, I don't mind telling a story scalnst myself. That creature had lone a little way when she beran to limp and showed every s:sn of being footsore. Presently she came to a halt and hailed a four-nhe?!or which was passing.

That's ! an art which every detective snoum oe an expert at. Well, away we rattled, and never drew rein until we reached the street in question. I hopped off before we came to the door, and ttrolled down the street In an easy, lounging way. I saw the cab pull up. The driver jumped down, and I saw him open the door and stand expect antly. Nothing came out, though. When I reached him he was groping about frantically In the empty cab, and frivlng vent to the finest assorted col- lection of oaths that ever I listened to. bis pus- gome time inquiring house be longed to a respectable paper hanger, named Keswick, and that no one of tbt name of either Sawyer or Dennis had ever been heard of there." "You don t mean to say," I cried, In amazement, "that that tottering, focb'.e old woman was able to got out of tho cab while It was In motion, without either you or the driver seeing her?" "Old woman be d d!" said Sher lock Holmes, sharply. "We were the o'd women to be so taken In. It must He saw that he was followed, no doubt, and used this means of giving me the Blip.

I left Holmes seated in front of the smoldering lire, and long Into the watches of the night I heard the low. melancholy walllngs of his violin, and knew that he was still pondering over the strange problem which he had set himself to unravel. (To be continued.) OBEYED ORDERS AND WON Incident ol th Civil War That Showi the Vitui of Unquutlonin g Discipline As an illustration of the idea of obe dience and discipline inculcated in the Weat Point cadets, James Barnes tells a story full of significance, says the Chicago Chronicle. During the war in the sixties a young officer ence reported to a volunteer brigadier that he had or ders from division headquarters' to take a battery that held the top of a sweep' ins sloiie on the front of the Confeder- ate jjnei ti,e shells from which were playing havoc with the Union infantry that weie deploying through a wooded ravine. "What!" exclaimed the volunteer brigadier, "are you going to try to take those guns with cavalry? Impossible! You can't do it." "Oh, yes, I can, sir," was the reply; "I ve got the orders in my pocket. This West Pointer did not doubt in the least what he was going to do, nor his capcaity, and, strange to say, he did it, for, advancing at a charge pud denly from the wood arcoss the open ground he took the battery in the flank before they could change effectually thft position of the guns, and he brought mera uacs. wuu mm.

Phelps tells of many wonders of the Galapagos islands, which that vessel visited. In an interview at San Francisco he said: "The islands are as full of minerals as a shad is of bones. On Albemarle there is an extinct crater, miles in di meter, in which there is in sight 40,' , 000 tons of pure sulphur. The crater is about ten miles inland and a tramway will be necessary for transportation to the coast, bnt this should be a small matter considering the possible profit, ' "One of the queer things in Albe marie is that it is overrun with wild , dogs.
