On Dec. 28, 1SS6, Darlington Lodge, No. 159, K. of P., was instituted at this place with a membership of twentythree, in the I. O. O. F. hall. They have continued to hold their weekly meetings in said hall, growing in strength and numbers, with one aim in view—that of a home of their own. On their seventh anniversary, last night, their aim was accomplished by their meeting in and dedicating one among the best and finest castle halls in the

CHAPTER V, CoNTiNuteu.
"My name is Sawyer—hers is Dennis, which Tom IVnnis married her—aud a smart, clean lad. too, as lonp as lie's at sea, and no steward in the company

more thought of but when on shore, what with the women and what with liquor shops—" "Here is your rinp, Mrs. Sawvor," I interrupted, in obedience to a sipn from my companion "it clearly belongs to your daughter, and I am frlad to restore it to the rightful owner."
With many mumbled blessings and protestations of gratitude the old crone packed it p.way in her pocket, and shuffled oil down the stairs. Sherlock Holmes sprang to liis feet the moment she was gone aud rushed into liis room. He returned in a few secouds enveloped in an ulster and a cravat. "I'll follow her, he said, tnirrieiUy "she must be an accomplice, and will lead me to him. Wait up for me." The hall door had hurriedly slammed behind our visitor before Holmes had descended the stair. Looking through the window I could see her walking feebly along the other side, while her pursuer dogged her some little distance behind. "Either his whole theory is incorrect." I thought to myself, or else he will be led now to the heart of the mystery." There was no need for him to aslc me to wait up for him, for I felt that sleep was impossible until I heard the result of his adventure.
It was close upon nine when he set out. I had no idea how long he might be, but I sat stolidly puffing at my pipe and skipping over the pages of Henri Murger's "Vie de Hoheme." Ten o'clock passed, and I heard the footsteps of the maids as they pattered off to bed. Eleven and the more stately tread of the landlady passed my door, bound for the same destination. It was close upon twelve before I heard the sharp sound of his latch-key. The instant he entered I saw by his face that he had not been successful. Amusement and chagrin seemed to be struggling for the mastery, until the former suddenly carried the day, and he burst into a hearty laugh» "I wouldn't have the Scotland Yarders know it for the world," he cried, dropping intohis chair "I have chaffed them so much that they would never have let me hear the end of it. I can afford to laugh, because I know that I will be even with them in the long run." "What, is it, then?" I asked. "Oh, I don't mind telling a story against myself. That creature had gone a little way when she began to limp and show every sign of being foot-sore. Presently she came to a halt, and hailed a four-wheeler which was passing. I managed to be close enough to her to hear the address, but I need not hare been so anxious, for she sang it out loud enough to be heard at the other side of the street. 'Drive to 13 Duncan street, Iloundsditch,' she cried. This begins to look genuine, I cried, and having seen her safely inside, I perched myself behind. That's an art which every detective should be an expert at. Well, away we rattled, and never drew a rein until we reached the street iD question. I hopped off before we came to the door, and strolled down the street in an easy, lounging way. I saw the cab pull up. The driver jumped down, and I saw him open the door and stand expectantly. Nothing came out, though. When I reached him he was groping about frantically in the empty cab, and giving vent to the finest assorted collection of oaths that ever I listened to. There was no sign or trace of his passenger, and I fear it will be some time before he gets his fare. On inquiring at Xo. 13 I found that the house belonged to a respectable paper-liangcr, named Keswick, and that no one of the name either of Sawyer or Dennis had ever been heard of there." "You don't mean to say," I cried, in amazement* "that that tottering, feeble old woman was able to get out of the cab while it was in motion, without either you or the driver seeing her?" "OU1 woman be d—d!" said Sherlock
Holmes, sharply. "We were the old women to be so taken in. It must have been a young man, and an active one too, besides being an incomparable actor. The get-up was inimitable. He saw that he was followed, no doubt and used this means of giving me the slip. It shows that the man we are after is not as lonely as I imagined he was, but has friends who are ready to risk something for him. Now, doctor you are looking done-up. Take my advice and turn in."
I was certainly feeling very weary so I obeyed his injunction. I left Holmes seated in front of the smoldering fire, and long into the watches of the night I heard the low, melancholy wailings of his violin, and knew that he was still pondering over the strange problem which he had set himself to unravel.

the wall, all pointed to its perpetration by political refugees and revolutionists. The socialists had many branchse in America, and the deceased had, no doubt, infringed their unwritten laws and been tracked down by them. After alluding airily to the Vehrugericht, aqua tofana. Carbonari, the Marchioness de Krinvilliers, the Darwinian theory, the principles of Maltlius and the Ratcliff highway murders, the article concluded by admonishing the government and advocating a closer watch over foreigners in England.
The Standard commented upon the fact that lawless outrages of the sort usually occurred under a liberal administration. They arose from the unsettling of the minds of the masses, and the consequent weakening of all authority. The deceased was an American gentleman who had been residing for some weeks in the metropolis. He had stayed at the boarding-house of Mine. Oharpentier, in Torquay Terrace, Camberwell. He was accompanied in his travels by his private seeratary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson. The two bade adieu to their landlady upon Tuesday, the 4th inst.. and departed to Euston station with the avowed intention of catching the Liverpool express. They were after ware seen togetner on tne piutorm. Nothing more is known of them until Mr. Drebber's body was, as recorded, discovered In an empty house in the Brixton road, many miles from Euston. How he came there or how he met his fate are questions which are still involved in mystery. Nothing is known of the whereabouts of Stangerson. We are glad to learn that Mr. Lestrade and Mr. Gregson, of Scotland Yard, art both engaged upon the case, and It is confidently anticipated that these well-known officers will speedily throw light upon the mutter.
The Daily News observed that there was no dcrubt as to the crime being a political one. The despotism and hatred of liberalism which animated the continental governments had had the effectof driving to our shores a number of men who might have made excellent citizens were they not soured by the recollection of all that they had undergone. Among these men there was a stringent code of honor, auv infringement of which was punished by death. Every effort should be made to find the secretary, Stangerson, and to ascertain some particulars of the habits of the deceased. A great step had been gained by the discovery of the address of the house at which he had boarded—a result which was entirely due to the acuteness and energy of Mr. Gregson, of Scotland Yard.
Sherlock Holmes and I read these notices over together at breakfast, and they appeared to afford him considerable amusement. "I told you that whatever happened Lestrade and Gregson would be sure to score." "That depends on how it turns out." "Oh, bless you. it doesn't matter in the least. If the man is caught it will be on account of their exertions if he escapes it will be in spite of their exertions. It's heads I win and tails you lose. Whatever they do they will have followers. 'Un sot truvs toujours un plus sot qui l'admire.' "What on earth is this?" I cried, for at this moment there came the pattering of many steps in the hall and on the stairs, accompanied by audible expressions of disgust upon the part of our landlady. "It's the Baker street division of the detective police force," said my companion gravely and as he spoke there rushed into the room half a dozen of the dirtiest and most ragged streetArabs that ever I clapped eyes ou. 'Tention!" cried Holmes, in a sharp tone, and the six dirty little scoundrels stood in aline like so many statuettes. "In future you shall send up Wiggins alone to report, and the rest

of you must wait in the street. Have you found it, Wiggins?" "No, sir, we hain't," said one of the youths. "1 hardly expected you would. You must keep on until you do. Here are your wages." He handed each of them a shilling. "Now, off you go, and come back with a. better report next time." lie waved his hand, and they scampered away downstairs like so many rats, and we heard their shrill voices next moment in the street. "There's more work to be got out of one of those little beggars than out of a dozen of the force," Holmes remarked. "The mere sight of an official-looking person seals men's lips. These youngsters, however, go everywhere and hear everything. They are as sharp as needles, too all they want is organization." "Is it on this llrixton case that you are employing them?" I asked. cs there is a point which I wish to ascertain. It is merely a matter of time. Hullo! we are going to hear some news now with a vengeance! Hero is Gregson coming down the road with beatitudo written upon every feature of his face. Round for us, 1 know. Yes, he is stopping. There he is!"
There was a violent peal at the bell, and in a few seconds the fair-haired detective came up the stairs, three steps at a time, and burst into our sit-ting-room.

"My dear fellow," he cried, wringing Holmes' unresponsive hand, "Congratulate mel I have made the whole thing as clear as day."
A shade of anxiety seemed to me to cross my companion's expressive face. "Do you mean that you are on the right track?" he asked. "The right track! Why, sir, we have the man under lock and key." "And his name is?" S "Arthur Charpeutier, sub-lieutenant in her majesty's navy," cried Gregson, pompously, rubbing his fat hands and inflating1 his chest.
Sherlock Holmes gave a sigh of relief and relaxed into a smile. "Take a scat and try one of these cigars," ho said. "We are anxious to know how you jrannged it. Will you liavc 1 water?",.
