Who's (lie better for ! that? Well, well, my dear sir, don't iook so (icprcsxcil. We can do little j more until nct Saturday, iii-d In the' meantime 1 may make one or two In quiries myself." Next morning he hail a note from Minn Smith recounting shortly and ac curately the very Incidents which I bad seen, but the pilh or the letter lay , in the postscript : ; "I am sure that you will respect my ' confidence, Mr. Holmes, when I teil you that my place here has become dif ficult owing to the fact that my em ployer has proposed marriage to me. 1 am convinced that his feelings are most deep and most honorable. At the name time my promise In of course given. lie took my refusal very serl ously, but also very gently. You can understand, however, that the situation Is a little strained." "Our young friend seems to be get ting Into dvi'p waters," said Holmes thoughtfully as be finished the letter. "The case certainly presents more fea tures of Interest and more possibility of development than I bad originally thought. I should be none the worse for a quiet, peaceful day In the coun try, and I am inclined to run down this afternoon and test one or two theories which I have formed." Holmes' quiet day in the country bad a singular termination, for he arrived at linker street late In the evening with a cut lip and a discolored lump upon bis forehead, besides a general air of dissipation which would have made bis own person the fitting object of a Scot land Yard Investigation. He was Im mensely tickled by bis own adventures and laughed heartily as be recounted tbem. "I get so little active exercise that it Is always a treat," said be. "You are aware that I have some proficiency In the good old British sport of boxing. Occasionally It Is of service; today, for example, I should have come to very Ignominious grief without It." I begged bhn to tell me what hud oc curred. "I found that country pub which I had already recommended to your no tice, and there I made my discreet In quiries. I was In the bar, and a garru lous landlord was giving me all that I wanted. Williamson Is a white bearded man, and he lives alone with a small staff of servants at the hall. There Is some rumor that be Is or has been a clergyman, but one or two Incidents of bis short residence at the hall struck me us peculiarly uneccleslastlcal. 1 have already made some Inquiries nt a clerlcul agency, and they tell me that there was a man of that name In or dera whose career has been a Blngf.1 lurly dark one. "The landlord further Informed r.m that there are usually week end vis itors 'u warm lot, sir' at the ball, and especially one gentleman with a red mustache, Mr. Woodley by name, who was always there. We bud got as far as this when who should walk in but the gentleman himself, who bad beeu drinking his beer in the taproom and bad heard the whole conversation. Who was 1 7 What did 1 waut? What did 1 mean by asking questions? He bad il line flow of language, aud bin adjectives were very vigorous. He ended u string of abuse by a vicious buck bander, which I failed to eutlrely avoid. The next tew minutes were de licious. It was u straight left against a slogging rutlian. 1 emerged as you see me. Mr. Woodley went home iu u carl. So ended my couutry trip, and It must be confessed that, however en joyable, my day ou the Surrey border has not beeu much more profitable than your own." The Thursday brought us another let ter from our client. "You will not bo surprised, Mr. Holmes," said she, "to bear that I am leaving Mr. Currulhers' employment. Fveu tbo blgb pay cauuot reeouclle me to tbo discomforts of my situutlou. On Saturday I como up to town, and I do not Intend to return. Mr. Carruthers lias got a trap, nnd bo tho dangers of tho louely road, If there ever wero ouy dangers, are now over. "As to tbo apoclul cause of my lcav lug It is not merely tho strained situa tion with Mr. Carruthers, but it Is tlio renppearauco of that odious man, Mr. Woodley. Ho was always hideous, but he looks more awful tbau ever now, for be appears to have had an acci dent, and be Is much disfigured. I saw him out of the window, but I am glad to say I did not meet blm. Ho bad a long talk with Mr Carruthers. who aeeiuod much excited afterward. 'Wood ley must be stuylng In the neighbor hood, for be did not iloep here, and yet I caught o glimpse of blm again this mornlug slinking about iu the shrubbery. I would sooner have a sav age wild animal loose about tly place. (Continued on butt paso.) '"rTVSSSm ("B0 J! Jit' 0 P BOCUnEO AND DEFENDED.
