I moved my head to look al the cabi

Sherlock Holmes was standing smiling
at me across my study table. I rose to

th' tirst and the las. time in my life.
Certainly a gny mist swirled before
my eyes, and when il cleared 1 found
my collar ends undone mid the tingling
after-taste of b-.iudy upon my lips.
Holmes was bonding over my chair,
his liask in his hand.
"My dear Watson," said Hie well re
membered voice, "I owe you 11 thou
sand apologies. I had no idea that you
Would be so affected."
I "ripped him by the arms.
"Holmes!" 1 cried. "Is ll really you?
Can It Indeed be thai you tire alive? Is

"Wail a moment," said be. "Are you

things? 1 have given you a serious
shock by my unnecessarily dramatic
reappearance."
"I am all right, but bid I. Holmes, 1
can hardly believe my eyes. Com I
bea vi us, to think that you you of all
men should be standing in my Htudy!"
Again I gripped him by the sleeve and
fell the tliin, sinewy arm beneath it.
"Well, you're not a spitil anyhow,"
said I. "My dear chap, I'm overjoyed
lo see you. Sit down and tell me bow

chasm."
He sat opposite to me and lit ll ciga

of the book merchant, but the rest of
hi a pile of while
hair and old books upon the table.
Holmes looked even thinner and keener
than of old, but (here was a dead white
tinge In his aipliline face which told
me that bis life receully had mil been n
healthy one.
"I am glad to stretch myself, Wnt
(on," said be. "It Is no Joke when 11

"I am full of curiosity. I should
