Sherlock Holmes answer was nu as ouudjig one. He stepped swiftly for wurd and touched the duke upon tin? ishotilder. i license ;ou." said be. "And now, your grace, I'll trouble you for that cheek.

"I must lake tlie view, your Brace, that when u mini embarks upon a crime be Is morally guilty of uny other crime which may spriutf from It." "Morally, Mr. Holmes; no doubt you are right; but surely not in the eyes of tbe law. A man cannot be condemned for a murder nt which be was not present and which be loathes and ab hors us much as uo.

"At . least we may take counsel bow far we ' can mlnlinlJ-e this hideous scnndal." "F.xnctly," said Holmes. "I think. , your grnee, that this can onty Im done ' by a Isolate frankness betwwn us. I : am dlsHisil to help your grni" to the 1 best of my ability, but In order to do ' so I must understand to the last detail j how the matter stands. I realize that i your wonls applied to Mr. James Wil- j der aud that he Is not the murderer." "No, tbe murderer hns escaped." Sherlock Holmes smlliil demurely, i "Your grace can hardly have beard i of any small reputation which I pis- sess or yon would not Imagine that It Is , so easy to escape me. Mr. Ileuben ' Hayes was arrested nt Chesterfield on ! my Information at 11 o'clock last night. ' I had u telegram from the bead of the local police lie-fore I left the Heboid till morning." ' The duke leaned back In his chair . a:d stared with amazement nt my I friend. "You seem to have powers that are hardly human," said he. ."So licuben Irnes Is taken? I am right glad to hear it if It will not react upon the fate of James." "Your secretary ?" "No, sir; my son." It was Holmes' turn to look aston ished. "I confess that this Is entirely new to ' me. your grace. 1 must beg you to be more explicit"." "1 will conceal nothing from you. 1 agree with you that complete frank ness, however painful It may "ne to me. Is the best policy In this desperate situ ation to which .lames' folly and Jeal ousy have reduced us. When I was a very young man, Mr. Holmes. I loved with such a love as conies only once In a lifetime. I offered the holy marriage, but she refused it on the grounds that such a match might mar my car"iT. Had she lived I would certainly never have marrikil any one else. She died and left this one child, uhin.i for her sake I have cherished mid eared for. J could not acknowledi.'e the paternity to the world, but I gate him the best of edticiitlons, and since he came to man hood I have kept hhn near my person, lie surmised i.,y se tci and b is pro- limed ever sine,, upon the claim which lie has upon" me ami upon bis power of provoking a scandal which would be abhorrent th- mf' ' His- r'rf'eni'e bad something to do with the u.ilmppy li ; sue of my marriage. Above nil. he hated my ..'otmg legitimate heir from the first with a persistent hatred. "You may well as'.; m why, tinder these circtt;ns',iiii,.s, I still kept .lames under my roof.

"Mien James determined i to kidnap Lord Saltire it was of this I man's service that lie availed himself. You remember that I wrote to Arthur ; upon that last day. Well, James open j ed the letter and inserted a note usk iug Arthur to meet him In a little wood ' culled tlie Lagged Shaw, which Is near j to the hchool. He used the duchess' , name and in that way got the boy to I come. That evening James bicycled over I am telling you what be bus i himself confessed to me and he told : Arthur, whom lie met in the wood, ' that bis mother longed to see liiln, l that she was awaiting him on the moor ! and thut if be would come buck Into i tlie woisl ut midnight be would llnd a man with a horse, who would take him to her. 1'oor Arthur fell into the trap.

"Well, Mr. Holmes, thut wus the state of attuirs when I llrst suw you two days ago. I bud no more Ideu of tbe truth thuu you. You will ask uie what wad Jumes' motive lu doing such a deed. I answer thut there wus a great ueul which wus unreasoning uud fumttical In the bulred which be bore my heir.
