Therefore I bio.sed this Mr. Overton, : Whoever he iu:gi:t be, since he had ; come with his enigmatic message to ' break that dangerous calm which -brought more po; .1 t my friend than all the storms of his tempestuous life.

"Why, Mr. Holmes, I thought you knew things," said he. "I suppose, then, Jf you hare never heard of God frey Staunton, you don't know Cyril Orerton either?" Holmes shook Lis head g"od humor edly.

Y.n'.r.g Overton's face assumed the t he-.vd lo,.k tf a man who is more ,i ustomcd to using his muscles than i s wits, but by degrees, with many repetitions and obscurities which I i ..y omit from his narrative, he laid his strange story before us. "It's this way, Mr. Holmes. As I l ave said, I am the skipper of the Rg g'r team of Catubridgo varsity, and 'ioJfrey Staunton is my best man. To morrow we play Oxford. Yesterday we cil came up, and we settled at Bent ley's private hotel. At 10 o'clock I went rv.nl and saw that ail the fellows had g : e to roost, for I believe In strict t :in!ug and plenty of sleep to keep a m tit.

No; I feel as if he wore gone for good, and we should never see him .-.gain." j Sherlock Holmes listened with tin deepest attention to this singular nai rative. "What did you do:" he asked. "I wired to Cambridge to learn if anything had been heard of him there. I have had an au-v.er. No one has scon him." "('mild he have git back to Cam bridge V "Yes; there is a late train quarter ' past 11." i "Im', so far as you can ascertain, he di 1 not take it':" "No; be has hot been seen." "What did you do next?" "I wired to I,rd Mount -James." "Why to Lord Mount .l imes':" "Godfrey is an orphan, ami Lord Moum-James is hi; nearest relative h'a uic-V, I lt-M' "Indeed. This throws new light upon ; tic; matter. Lord Mount-James is one! of the richest men in Kngland." "So I've heard Godfrey say." "And your friend was closely re lated':" ; "Yes; he was his heir, and the old boy is nearly eighty cram full of gout too. They say he could chalk his bil liard cue with his knuckles. He never, allowed Godfrey a shilling in his life, for be Is an absolute miser, but it will an come to him right enough." "Have you hoard from Lord Mount- James : j "No." I "What motie could your friend have iu going to Lord Mount-James?" ' : "Well, something wa i worrying him the night before, and If it was to do! .villi money it is p - .; ri.:t he would make for Uii ne.ue t ie,.n.l.e, who had so much of it, though from all I have j heard ho would hot have much chance of getting It. Godfrey was not fond of , the old mau. Hu would hot go If he could help It" "Well, we oo n sooa determine that. If your friend was going to bis relative, Iord Mount James, you have then to explain the visit of this rough looking fellow at so late un hour and the agi tation that was caused by his coming." Cyril Overton pressed his hands to his head. "I can mako nothing of it," i said be. "Well, well, I have a clear day, ami ! I shall bo happy to look luto the mat ter," said Holmes.

In the prl- vn.-y of tiodfrey 8lnuruoi,-s aU .i. !o;..vl ; room, he bad extracted i;t tU.u the par ! tor had to tell. The visitor o. the nlgiit ; before was not a gentleman, neither was ho a worklngmiin. He win simply what the porter described as a "medi um looking elm?," a man of fifty. Inanl grlftled, pale face, quietly dreis ed. . He seemed himself ti be agitated. The porter had observed liN hand 1 trembling when he hail hold ou,t the note. Godfrey Staunton had crammed the note Into hl pocket. Stauntou hxl r.ot shaken hands with te man in the hall. They had exchangeil n few son tonces, of which the porter had only distinguished the one word "time." Thou they had hurried off In the man ner described. It wits Just half pnst 10 by the hall clock. 'Lot me see." said Holme seating You arc himself on Staunton's bod. the day 'porter, are yoa not':" "Yes. sir. I go (T dut at 11." n. gat porter saw nothing. 1 sup- I o, sir. One theater party came iu i no one else." "Were you on duty all day yesterday'-" "Ye, sir." "Hid you take any messages to Mr Staunton?" "Yon sir; one telegram." " Ih, that's interesting. What o'clock was this';" "About C." "Where was Mr. Staunton when he received it?" "Here In his roni." "Were you present when he opened it?" "es. air; I waited to sec If there was an answer." "Well, was there?" "Yes, sir; be wrote an answer. "Did you take it?" "No; he took it himself." "nut he wrote it in your presence?" "Yes, sir. I was standing by the door and he with his back turned at that table. When he had written It he said. 'All right, porter. I will take this myself.' " "What did he write it with?" "A pen, sir." "Was the telegraphic form cue of these on the table?" "Yes. sir: it w-aa the top one." Holmes rose. Taking the forms, be earritd them over to the window and carefully examined that whleh was uppermost. "It is a pity he did not write In pen cil." said he. throwing them down again, with a shrug of disappointment. "As you have no doubt frequently ob served.

He turned It over aud we road: "So that Is lh-' till end of tho ti,. gran, which tJixlfn-y Simmon tU patched within n few hour of hit t'.N appearance.

And what Is the third source from which each of them sought for help against pressing danger? Our In quiry bus already narrowed down to that." "We have only to find to whom that telegram Is addressed," I suggested. "Exactly, my dear Watson. Your re flection, though profound, had already crossod my mind. Hut I dare say It may have come to your notice that If you walk Into a postoilhv and demand to see the counterfoil of another man's lnessagi" there may be some dlslncllna - tlou on (ho part of the olllclals to oblige ! you..

Mean while, I should like in your presence, Mr. Overton, to go through ttiese pa vrs which have lieon left upon the ta ble." There were a number of loiters, bills and n otebooks, w hich Holmes tin nisi over and examined with quick, nerv ous lingers and darting. euotratiiig eyes. "Nothing here," he said nt last. "Hy the way, I suppose your friend was a healthy young fellow-nothing amiss with him?" "rVoand a a bell." "Have you ever kuown him 111?" "Not a day. He has been laid up with a hark, and once he sllpied his kneecap, but that was nothing." "Perhaps be was not so strong as you suppose. I should think he may have had some secret trouble. With your assent, I will put one or two of these papers in my pocket, iu case they shoukl tear upon our future In quiry." "One moment one moment!" cried n querulous voice, and w looked up to find a queer little old man Jerking and twitching in the doorway. He was dress oil iu rusty black, with a very broad brimmed top hat and a I oso white uecktle-the whole effect being that of a very rustic or of au undertaker's mute. parson Yet, In spite of his shabby aud even absurd appearance, his voice had a sharp ' crackle aud his manner a quick in ' tensity which commanded nt tout ion. i "Wh ) are you, sir. and by what rigid do y nt touch this gentleman's papers:" J lie asked.
