of Ir. Wntson that this Is the brightest '

Is a mystery to me how you did It. Yon

"Instead of Is-ing ruined, my good

has been enormously enhanced. Just
make a few alterations in that report
which you were writing and they will,
understand how hard it Is to throw,

'And you don't want your name to;

Not at all. The work is its own re

now, let us see where this rat has been

A lath and plaster partition had been
run across the passage sl feet from

der the eaves. A few articles ol' furni
lure and a supply of -f 1 and water
were within, together with a number
of hooks and papers.
"There's the advantage of being a

"He was able to tlx up his own little
hiding place without any confederate,
save, of course, that precious house

time In adding to your bag, Iestrade."
"I'll take your advice. I!ul how did
you know of this place, Mr. Holmes?"
"I made up my mini! that the fellow
was in hiding in the house. When I
p..i-cil one corridor and found it six
feet shorter than the correspondins
one below it was pretty clear when
he w as. I th night he had not the nervt
to lie quiet before an alarm of tire. Wi
could, of course, have gone ill and tak

reveal himself. Itesiiles, I owed you u
