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."

"And that is?" I asked, eagerly.
'My fiddle would be the better for
ighten him by looking at him too
hard."
"It Is 8 o'clock now," I said, glancing
at my watch.
Yes; he will probably be here in a
few minutes. Open the door slightly.
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 ;

"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

I thought and having seen her safely
inside, I perched myself behind. That's
! an art which every detective snoum oe

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.

I was certainly reeling very weary,

knew that he was still pondering over
the strange problem which he had set
himself to unravel.

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

ot Minerals,
Captain Richard Nye, who was one
of those on the steamer W. 8. 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. The animals are a mongrel breed
and were left on the island by whalers,
I The dogs have become wild and ex
tremely vicious. They are wolflike in
their habits and run in droves.
I Captain Nye also tells of a remarks'
ble lake on the island of Chatham at
an elevation of 3,000 feet above the
level of the sea. This lake, according
to the captain, rises and falls with the
tide, and no sounding line has ever
reached its bottom. Many relics of an
ancient race were found.
Just Around the Comer.
A tall, green sort of a well-dressed in
dividual walked into an East End place
the other day, where they were talking
politics in a high key, and, stretching

In an instant a man stood before the
inquirer in a warlike attitude and ex
claimed: "I am a Socialist, sir!"
"You are?" s
"Yes, sir; I am."
