We were residiug at the time in fur nished lodgings close to a library where Isberloek Holmes was pursuing suae laborio'jj researches In early F.ug'.isii darters researches whieli led to re sults so strikes that they may le the subject of one of my future narrativ es. Here it was that one evening we re ceived a visit fr.mi an ae.iua'nPinoe, Mr. Hilton Sonnies, tutor and lecturer at the College of St. I. tike's. Mr. Sonnies was a tall, spae man. of a nervous and CScitahle te.nperament. I had always known hhn to be restless in his man ner, but on this particular n'-casinu ho was in auch a state of t;ne miroihiblo agitation that it was clear somotaitig very ununual had occurred. "I triut, Mr. HiImiN, that you ca-i spare ine s few hours of your valuable time. We have hail a very painful In cident at St. Luke's, and pully. but for the happy chance of your being in town, I should have been at a loss what to do." "I aiu very busy just now, and I do Hire no distractions." my friend an ts wered. "I should much prefer thai you called lu the aid of the police." "No, no, my dear sir; such a course U utterly Impossible. When once the law Is evoked it cannot be stayed again, and this is Just one of those cases where, for the credit of the col lege, it is most essential to avoid scan dal. Your discretion is as well known as your powers, and you are the one man in the world who can help me. I beg you, Mr. Holmes, to do what you can."

The alterna tive was that some one passing ha 1 ob served the key In the door, had known that I was out and had entered to look nt the papers. A large sum of money is at stake, for .e scholarship Is a very valuable one, and an unscrupulous man might very well run a risk In or dor to gi'n !i!i advantage over his fcl ots. 'I'.annister was very much unset by the incident. He had nearly fainted when we found that the papers had t'ndnibtedly been tampered with. I gave him a little brandy and left him collapsed in a chair, while I made a most careful examination "f the room. I soon saw that the Intruder bad left other traces of his presence besides tin rumpled papers. (In the table in the window wore several shreds from a pencil which had been sharpened. A broken tip of lea 1 was lyii.g there also. Kvldently the ras.-il had copied the paper In a great hurry, had broken his pencil and had been compelled to put a fresh point to it." "Excellent!" said Holmes, who was recovering his good humor as his at tention became more engrossed by the case. "Fortune has boon your friend." "This was not all. I have a new writing table with a fine surface of red leather. I am prepared to swear, and no Is Bannister, that it whs smooth and unstained. Now I found a clean cut In it about three inches long-not a mere scratch, but a positive cut. Not ; only this, but on the table I found a small ball of black dough or clay, with Hpecks of something which looks like sawdust in It. I am convinced that these marks were left by the man who rifled the papers.

Above nil things I desire to settle the matter ipiletlv nud discreetly." "I shall te happy to look Into It and to pive you such advice as I enn," snhl Holmes, r!sln and putting on Ills over coat. "The case Is not entirely devoid (f interest. Had any one visited you in your ronin after the papers came to you-:" "Yes; young 'Haulal Kas, an Indian student, who lives on the same stair, came In to ask me some particulars about the examination." "For which lie was entered'" "Yes." "And the papers were on vour ta MeV" "To the best of my belief they wore rolled up." 'Hut might be rvoognlnod as proofs?" "FosHlbly." "No one else In your room?" "No." "Hid any one know that those proof would lie there'" "No iiie save the printer.", "id tills mail Bannister know'" "No; certainly not. No one know." "Whore is I'.annister now V" "He was very 111. poor follow-! I loft him collapsed In the chair. I was in such a hurry to conic to you." "You left your door open':" "I linked up the pipers lirst."
