"EJXcuso my using your name," ho said. "If 1 used my own, some one of those dunderheads would recognize it and want, to meddle in the affair. "That is all right," 1 answered. "But, supposing any one applies, I have HO ring. "Oh, yes, you have," said he, handing 1110 one. "This will do very wulL It is almost a facsimile. "And who do you expect will answer this advertisement?" "Why, the man in the brown coat, our florid friend with the square toes. If he does not come himself, he will send an accomplice "Would he not consider it as too dangerous?" "Not, at all. If my view of tho case is correct, and I have every reason to believe that it is, this man would rather risk anything than lose the ring. According to my notion, he dropped it •while stooping over Drcbber's body and did not miss it at the time. After leaving the house he discovered his loss and hurried back, but found the police already in possession, owing to his own folly in leaving thecandlo burning. He had to pretend to bo drunk in order to allay the suspicions which might have been aroused by his appearance at the gate. Now, put yourself in that man's placo. Oil thinking tho matter over it must have occurred to him that it was possible that he had lost tho ring in the road alter leaving tho house. What would lie do then? He would eagerly look out for tho evening papers in tho hope ot seeing it among the articles found His eye, of course, would light upon this. Ho would be overjoyed. Why should he i'ear a trap? Tliero would be no reason in his eyes why the finding of the ring should be connected with tho murder Ho would come. Ho will come. Von shall see him within an hour.' "And thru?" I asked. "On, you hi leave me to deal with hiiu then. Rave you any arms?" "1 have my old service revolver and a few cartridges. "You had better clean it and load it. Ho will bo a desperate man, and though I shall take him unawares it is as well to be ready for anything.

I went to my bedroom and followed his advice. When I returned with the pistol tho table had been cleared, and Holmes was engaged in his favorite occupation of scraping upon his violin. "Tho plot thickens," he said as I entered. "I have just had an answer to my American telegram. My view of oase is the correct one "And that is?'' I asked eagerly. "My fiddle would be the bettor for new strings,'' he remarked. "Put your pistol in your pocket When the fellow comes, speak to him in an ordinary way Leave the rest to me Don't frighten him by looking at him too hard." "It is 8 o'dlook now," I said, gkuooing at my watch. "Yos. He will probably be here in a few minutes. Open the door slightly. That will do. Now put the key on the inside. Thank you. This is a queer old book 1 picked up at a stall yesterday. *De Jure Inter Gentes,' published in

Latin at Liege in the Lowlands in 1643. Charles' head was still firm on bis shoulders when this little brown backed volume was struck oft. "Who is the printer?" "Philippe de Croy, whoever he may have boon. On the fly leaf in very faded ink is written, 'Ex libris Guliolmi

Why to. I wonder who William Whyte •was. Some pragmatical seventeenth century lawj'er, I suppose His writing has a legal twist about it. Here comes our man, I think.

As he spoke there was a sharp ring at the bell Sherlock Holmes rose softly and moved his chair in the direction of tho door Wo heard tho servant pass along tho hall and tho sharp click of the latch as sho opened it "Docs Dr. Watson livo hero?" asked a clear but rather sharp voice. We could not hear tho servant's reply, but the door closed, and some one began to ascend tho stairs. The footfall was an uncertain and shuffling one. A look of surprise passed over tho faco of my companion as he listened to it. It came slowly along tho passage, and there was a feeble tap at tho door. "Como in!" I cried.

At my summons, instead of the man of violence whom wo expected, a very old and wrinkled woman hobbled into tho apartment. She appeared to be dazzled by the sudden blazoof light, and after dropping a courtesy sho stood blinking at us with her bleared eyes and fumbling in her pocket with nervous, shaky fingers. 1 glanced at my companion, and his face had assumed such a disconsolate expression that it was all I could do to keep my countenance.

Tho old crone drew out an evening paper and pointed at our advertisement. "It's this as has brought me, good gentlemen," sho said, dropping another courtesy "A gold wedding ring in the Brixton road. It belongs to my girl Sally, as was married only this time twelvemonth, which her husband is steward aboard a Union boat, and what he'd say if ho como

!omo

and found her

without her ring is moro than I can think, ho being short enough at tho best o'times, but moro especially when ho has tho drink. If it please you, sho wont to the circus last night along with"— "Is that hor ring?" I asked. "Tho Lord bo thanked 1" cried the old woman. "Sally will be a glad woman this night. That's tho ring. "And what may your address be?" I inquired, taking up a pencil. "Thirteen Duncan street, Houndsditch. A weary way from here. "Tho Brixton road does not lie between any circus and Houndsditch," said Sherlock Holmes sharply.

The old woman faced round and looked keenly at him from her littlo red rimmed eyes. ''Tho trentleman asked for

my address," she said. "Sally lives in lodgings at 3 Mayfield place, Peckham. "And your name is"— "My name is Sawyer. Hers is Dennis, which Tom Dennis married her, and a smart, clean lad, too, as long as he'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 ring, Mrs. Sawyer," I interrupted in obedience to a sign from my companion. "It clearly belongs to your daughter, and I am glad to be able to restore it to the rightful owner.

With many mumbled blessings and protestations of gratitude the old crono packed it away in her pocket and shuffled off down tho stairs. Sherlock Holmes sprang to his feet the moment she was gone and rushed :nto his room. He returned in a few seconds enveloped in an ulster and a cravat. "I'll follow her," ho said hurriedly. "She must be an accomplice and will lead me to him. Wait up for me." The hall door had hardly 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 littlo 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 ask me to wait up for him, for 1 felt that sleep was impossible until I heard the result of his adventure.

It was closo upon 9 when he set out. I had no idea how long he might be, but 1 sat stolidly puffing at my pipe and skipping over tho pages of Henri Murger's "Yiede Boheme." 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 tho landlady passed my door bound for the same destination, it was close upon 12 before I heard the sharp sound of his latch key. The instant he entered I saw by his face that ho had not been successful. Amusement and chagrin seemed to bo struggling for the mastery, until the former suddenly carried the day, and ho burst into a hearty laugh. "I wouldn't have the Scotland Yarders know it for the world!" he cried, dropping into his 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, 1 don't mind telling a story against myself. That creature had gone a little way when sho began to limp and show every sign of being footsore Presently sho came to a halt and hailed a four wheeler which was passing. I managed to be close to her so as to hear the address, but 1 need not have been so anxious, for she sang it ont loud enough to be heard at the other side of the street, 'Drive to 18 Duncan street, flouodsditohr sho cried. This began to look genuine, I thought, and having seen her safely inside I perohed myself behind. That's an art wbioh every detective should be an expert at Well, away we rattled and never drew rein until we reached the street in 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 th© door and stand expectantly. Nothing came out though. When I reached him, he was groping about frantically iu tho empty cab and giving vent to the finest assorted collection of oaths that ever I listened to. There was no sign or traoo of his passenger, and I fear it will be some time before he gets her fare On inquiring at No. 131 found that the house belonged to a respectable paperhanger, 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 amazoment, "that that tottering, feeble old woman was able to get out the cab while it was in motion, without either you or the driver seeing her?" "Old woman bo d!" said Sherlock Holmes sharply. "We were tho old women to bo so taken in. It must have been a young man, an active one, too, besides being an incomparable actor. The getup was inimitable. Ho saw that ho was followed, no doubt, and used this means of giving me tho slip. It shows that the man wo are after is not as lonely as I imagined ho was, but has friends who are ready to risk something for him. Now, doctor, you are looking done up. Take my advico and turn in.

I was certainly fooling very weary, so I oboyed his injunction. I left Holmes seated in front of tho smoldering fire, and long into tho watches of the night I heard the low, melancholy wailings of his violin and knew that bo was still pondering over tho strange problem which ho had set himself to unravel.

CHAPTER VL

Tho papors next day were full of the "Brixton Mystery," as they termed it. Each had a long account of tho affair, and some had leaders upon it in addition. There was some information in them which was now to mo. I still retain in my scrapbook numerous clippings and extracts bearing upon the caso. Hero is a condensation of a few of them:

Tho Daily Telegraph remarked that in the history of crime there had seldom been a tragody which presented stranger features. The German name of the victim, tho absence of all other motive and tho sinister inscription on tho wall, all pointed to its perpetration by political refugeos and revolutionists. THo socialists had many branches in Amorica, and the deceased had no doubt infringed their unwritten laws and been tracked down by them. After alluding to the Vehmgericght, aqua tofana, Carbonari, tho Marchioness do Brinvilliers, the Darwinian theory, the principles of Malthus and tho Ratcliff highway murders tho article concluded by admonishing the government and advocating a closer watch over foreigners in England.

Tlio Standard commented upon the fact that lawless outrages of tho sort usually occurred under a Liberal admin

istration. They arose frOifi 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. Ho had staid at the boarding house of Mme. Charpentier in Torquay Terrace, Camberwell. He was accompanied in his travels by his private secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson. The two bade adieu to their landlady upon Tuesday, the 4th i:::.. and departed to Euston station wi avowed intention of catching the L:''i pool express. They were afterward together on the platform. Nothing n. .t is known of them until Mr. Drebber body was, as recorded, discovered in 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. Wo are glad to learn that Mr. Lestrade and Mr. Gregson of Scotland Yard are both engaged upon the case, and it is confidently anticipated that these well known officers will speedily throw light upon the matter.

The Daily News observed that there was no doubt as to the crime being a political one. The despotism and hatred of Liberalism which animated the continental governments had had tho effect of 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 meti there was a stringent code of honor, any infringement of which was punished by death. Every effort should be made to find the secretary, Stangerson, and to ascertain sumo particulars of the habits of tho deceased. A great step had been gained by tho discovery of the address of tho house at which he had boarded—a result which was entirely duo to the acuteness and energy of Mr. Gregson of Scotland Yard.

Sherlock Holmes and I read theso notices over together at breakfast, and they appeared to afford him considerable amusement. "I told you that what ever 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 What ever they do, they will have followera 'Un sot trouve toujours un plus sot qui l'admire' "What on earth is this?" I oried, for at this moment there came the pattering of many stops 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 polioe force," said my companion gravely, and as he spoke there rushed into the room half a doeen of the dirtiest and most ragged street arabe that ever 1 clapped eyes on.

Tention!" cried Holmes 1b a sharp tone, and the six dirty little scoundrels stood in a line like so moay di*repot«ble statuettes. "In future you shall send up Wiggins 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. "I hardly expected you would. You must keep on ntil you da Here are your wages." He handed each of them a shilling. "Now, off you go, and oome back with abetter report next time

He waved his hand, and they scampered away down stairs like so many rats, and we heard their shrill voices next moment in the street "There's moro work to be got ont of one of those little beggars than out of a dozen of the force,'' Holmes remarked. "The mero 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 Brixton case that you are employing them?" I asked. "Yes, there is a point which I wisn to ascertain. It is merely a matter of time. Hello, we are going to hear some news now with a vengeance I Hero is Gregson coming down tho road with beatitude written upon every feature of his face. Bound for us, I 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 tho stairs, three steps at a time, and burst into our sitting room. "My dear fellow," he oried, wringing Holmes' unresponsive hand, "congratulate me. I have made tho whole thing as clear as day!"

A shado of anxiety seemed to mo to cross my companion's expressive face. "Do you mean that you are on the right track?" ho asked. "The right track! Why, sir, we have the man under lock and key. "And his name is?" "Arthur Cliarpentier, sublieutenant in her majesty's navy," cried Gregson pompously, rubbing his fat hands and inflating his chest.

Sherlock Holmes gave a sigh of relief and relaxed into a smile. "Take a scat and try "one'of theso cigars, ho said. We are anxious to know how you managed it Will you have some whisky and water?" 'r\ "I don't mind if I do," tho detective answered. "The tremendous exertions which 1 have gone through during the last day or two have worn me out. Not so much bodily exertion, you understand, as tho strain upon tho mind. You will appreciate that, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for wo aro both brain workers."

"You do mo too much honor," said Holmes gravely. 'Lot us hear how you arrived at this most gratifying result.

Tho detective seated himself in tho armchair and puffed complacently at his cigar. Then suddenly ho slapped his thigh in a paroxysm of amusement. "The fun of it is," ho cried, "that that fool Lestrade, who thinks himself so smart, has gono off upon tho wrong track altogether. He is after tho secre-

vary, oxaxjgwrmjii, wilu uau no more to do with the crime than a babe unborn. I have no dcubt that bu has caught him by this time." a 1

Tho idea tickled Gregson so much that he laughed uutil he choked. "And how did you get your clew?" "Ah, I'll tell you all about it. Of

course, Dr Watson, this is strictly between ourselves. The first difficulty which we had to contend with was the finding of this American's antecedents. Some people would have waited until their advertisements were answered, or until paities came forward and volunteered information. That is not Tobias Gregson's way of going to work. You remember the hat beside the dead man?" "Yes," said Holmes "by John Underwood & Sons, 12!) Camberwell road.

Gregson looked quite crestfallen. "I had no idea that you noticed that, he said. "Have you been there?" "No." "Ha!" cried Gregson, in a relieved voice. "You should never neglect a chance, however small it may seem." "To a great mind nothing is little," remarked Holmes sententiously. "Well, I went to Underwood, and asked him if he had sold a hat of that size and description. He looked over his books and came on it at once. He had sent the hat to a Mr. Drebber, residing atCharpcii tier's boarding establishment, Torquay Terrace. Thus I got at his address. "Smart—very smart!" murmured Sherlock Holmes. "1 next called upon Mme. Cliarpentier, continued the detective. "I found her very pale and distressed. Her daughter was in the room, too—an uncommonly fine girl she is too. She was looking red about tho eyes, and her lips trembled as I spoke to her. That didn't escape my notico. I began to smell a rat. You know tho feeling, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, when jxra como upon tho right scent—a kind of thrill in your nerves. 'Have yon heard of tho mysterious death of your late boarder, Mr. Enoch J. Drebber of Cleveland?' I asked. "The mother nodded. Sho didn't seem ablo to get out a word. Tho daughter burst into tears. I felt more than ever that these people knew something of tho matter. 'At what o'clock did Mr. Drebber leave your house for the train?' I asked. 'At 8 o'clock,' she said, gulping in her throat to keep down her agitation. 'His secretary, Mr. Stangerson, said that there wore two trains—one at 9:15 and one at 11. Ho was to catch the first' 'And was that the last which you saw of him?' c\v\ "A terrible change oame over the woman's face as I asked the question. Her features turned perfectly livid. It was some seconds before she could get out the second word, Yes,' and when it did oome it was in a husky, unnatural tone "There was silence for a moment, and then the daughter spoke in a oalm, dear voioe. 'No good can ever oome of falsehood, mother,' she said. 'Let us be frank with this gentleman. We did see Mr. Drebber again.' 'God forgive you!' cried Mme. Cbarpentier, throwing up her hands and sinking back in her ohair. 'You have msrdered your brother.' 'Arthur would rather that we spoke the truth,' the girl answered firmly. 'You had best tell mo all about it now,' I said. 'Half confidences are worse than none Besides you do not know how much wo know of it.' 'On your head be it, Alice!' cried her mother, and then, turning to me: 'I will tell you all, sir. Do not imagine that my agitation on behalf of my son arises from my fear lest ho should have had a hand in this terrible affair. He is utterly innocent of it. My dread is, however, that in your eyes and in the eyes of others he may apear to be compromised. That, however, is surely impossible. His high character, his profession, his antecedents would all forbid it' 'Your best way is to make a clean breast of the facts,' I answered 'Depend upon it, if your son is innocent, he will bo none tho worse.' 'Perhaps, Alice, you had better leave us together,' she said, and her daughter withdrew. 'Now, sir,' sho continued, 'I had no intention of telling you all this, but since my poor daughter has disclosed it I have no altevnativo. Having once decided to speak, I will tell you all without omitting any particular,.' (To be continued.)
