'It is your wisest coursdf said 1. 'Mr. Drebber has been with us nearly three weeks. He and his secretary, Mr. Stangorson, had been traveling on the continent. I noticed a "Copenhagen" label upon each of their trunks, showing that that had been their last stopping place. Stangorson was a quiet, reserved man, but his employer, I am sorry to say, was far otherwise. Ho was coarso in his habits and brutish in his ways. The very night of his arrival he bccamo very much the worse for drink, and indeed after 12 o'clock in tho day ho could hardly ever be said to be sober. His manners toward the maidservants were disgustingly free and familiar. Worst of all, he speedily assumed the same attitude toward my daughter, Alice, and spoke to her more than once in a way which, fortunately, she is too innocent to understand. On one occasion ho actually seized her in his arms and embraced her—an outrage which caused his own secretary to reproach him for his unmanly conduct.' 'But why did you stand all this?' I asked. '1 suppose that you can get rid of your boarders when you wish.' "Mrs. Charpentier blushed at my pertinent question. 'Would to God that I had given him notice on tho very day he came,' she said. 'But it was a sore temptation. They were paying a pound a day each, £14 a week, and this is a slack season. I am a widow, and my boj* in tlio navy litis cost me much. I grudged to Jnso the money. 1 acted for the best. This last was too much, however, and 1 gave him notice to leave on account of it. That was the reason of his going.' -Well?" 'My heart grew light when I saw him driv! away. My son is on leave just now, but 1 did not tell him anything of this, for his temper is violent, and he is passionately fond of his sister. When I closed the door behind them, a load Seemed to be lilted from my mind. Alasl in less than an hour there was a ring at the bell, and I learned that Mr. Drebber had returned. Ho was much excited and evidently tho worse for drink. He forced his way into the room where I -was sitting with my daughter and made some incoherent remark about having missed his train. Ho then turned to Alice, and before my very face proposed to her that she should fly with him. "You aro of age," he said, "and there is no law to stop you. I have money enough and to spare. Never mind the «ld girl here, but oome along with me now straight away. Yon shall live like a princess. Poor Alice

fright­

ened that she shrank away from him, but ho caught her by the wrist and ondoavored to draw her toward the door. I screamed, and at that moment my son Arthur came into the room. What happened then I do not know. I heard oaths jujd the confused sounds of a scuffle. I Was too terrified to raise my head. When 1 did look up, I saw Arthur standing in the doorway laughing, with a stick in his hand. "1 don't think that fine fellow will trouble us again, he said. "I will just go after him and see what be does with himself. With those words he took his hat and started off down the street The next morning we heard of Mr. Drebber's mysterious death.' "This statement came from Mrs. Charpentier's lips with many gasps and pauses. At times she spoke so low that I could hardly catch the words. I made shorthand notes of all that she said, however, so that there should be no possibility of a mistake. "It's quite exciting," said Holmes, with a yawn. "What happened next?" "When Mrs. Charpentier paused," tho detective continued, "1 saw that the whole case hung upon one point. Fixing her with my eye in a way which I always found effective with women, I asked her at what hour her son returned. 'I do not know,' she answered. 'Not know?' 'No he has a latchkey and lot himself in.' 'Alter you went to bed?' 'Yes.' 'When did you go to bed?' "'About 11.' 'So your son was gono at least two

hours?' "'Yes.' 'Possibly four or five?' "'Yes.' 'What was ho doing during that time?' 'I do not know,' sho answered, turning white to her very lips. "Of course after that thero was nothing moro to be done. I found out where I Lieutenant Charpentier was, took two officers with mo and arrested him. When 1 touched him on tho shoulder and warned him to conio quietly with I us, ho answered us as bold as brass, 'I I suppose you are arresting 1110 for being concerned in the death of that scoundrol Drebber,' ho said. WE had said nothing to him about it, so that his alluding to it had a most suspicious aspect. "Very," said Holmes. "Ho still carrier} the heavy stick which the mother described him as having with him when he followed Drobber. It was a stout oak cudgel. "What is your theory, then?" "Well, my theory is that ho followed Drebber as far as tho Brixton road. When there, a fresh altercation arose between them, in tho course of which Drebber received a blow from the stick, in tho pit of tho stomach perhaps, which killed him without leaving any mark. The night was so wet that no one was abont, so Charpentier dragged the body of his victim into tho empty housa As to the candle, and tho blood, and the •writing on tho wall, and tho ring, they may all be so many tricks to throw the police on to the wrong scent. "Well done!" said Holmes in an encouraging voice. "Really, Gregson, you •re getting along. We shall make something of you yet." ... "I flatter myself that I have managed

it rather neatly, the detective answered proudly. "The young man volunteered statement, in which he said that after following Drebber some time the latter perceived him and took a cab in order to get away from him. On his way home ho met an old shipmate and took a long walk with him. On being asked where this old shipmate lived, he was unable to give any satisfactory reply. I think the whole case fits together uncommonly well. What amuses me is to think of Lostrade, who had started off upon the wrong scent. I am afraid he won't make much of it. Why, by Jove, here's the very man himself 1"

It was indeed Lestrade, who had ascended the stairs while wo were talking, and who now entered the room. The assurance and jauntiness which generally marked his demeanor and dress were, however, wanting. His face was disturbed and troubled, while his clothes were disarranged and untidy. He had evidently come with the intention of consulting with Sherlock Holmes, for on perceiving his colleague he appeared to be embarrassed and put out. He stood in the center of the room, fumbling nervously with his hat and uncertain what to do. "This is a most, extraordinary case," ho said at last, "a most incomprehensible affair." "Ah, you find it so, Mr. Lestrade!" cried Gregson triumphantly. "I thought you would come to that conclusion. Have yor managed to find the secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangorson?" "The secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson, said Lestrade gravely, "was murdered at Halliday's Private hotel about 6 o'clock this morning."

CHAPTER VII.

The intelligence with which Lestrade greeted us was so momentous and so unexpected that we were all three fairly dumfounded. Gregson sprang out of his chair and upset the remainder of his whisky and water. I stared in silence at Sherlock Holmes, whose lips were compressed and his brows drawn down over his eyes. "Stangorson, too!" he muttered. "The plot thickens. "It was quito thick enough before," grumbled Lestrade, taking a chair. "I seem to have dropped into a sort of council of war." "Aro you—are you sure of this piece of intelligence?" stammered Grogson. "I have just come from his room," said Lestrade. "I was tho first to discover what had occurred." "Wo have been hearing Gregson's view of the matter," Holmes observed. "Would you mind letting us know what you have seen and done?" "I have no objection, Lestrade answered, seating himself. "I freely oonfess that I was of the opinion that Stangerson was concerned in the death of Drebber. This fresh development has shown me that I was completely mistaken. Fnll of the one idea, I set myself to find out what had become of the secretary. They had been seen together at Euston station about half past 8 on the evening of the 3d. At 2 in the morning Drebber had been found in. fhe Brixton road. The question which confronted me was to find out how Stangerson had been employed between 8:30 and the time of the crime and what bad become of him afterward. I telegraphed toLiverpool giving a description of the man and warning them to keep a watch upon the American boats. I then set to work calling upon all the hotels and lodging houses in the vicinity of Euston. You see, I argued that if Drebber and bis companion had become separated the natural course for the latter would be to put up somewhere in the vicinity for the night and then to hang about the station again next morning." "They would bo likely to agree on some meeting place beforehand," remarked Holmes. "So it proved. I spent the whole of yesterday evening in making inquiries entirely without avail. This morning I began very early, and at 8 o'clock I reached Halliday's Private hotel in Little George sireet. On my inquiry as to whether a Mr. Stangerson was living thero they at once answered mo in the affirmative. 'No doubt you aro the gentleman ho was expecting,' they said. 'He has been waiting for a gentleman for two days.' 'Where is ho now?' I asked. 'He is up stairs in bed. Ho wished to bo called at 0.' "It seemed to mo that my sudden appearance might shako his nerves and lead him to say something unguarded. Tho boots volunteered to show mo tho room. It was on the second floor, and thero was a small corridor leading up to it. Tho boots pointed out tho door to mo and was about to go down stairs again when I saw something that mado mo feel sickish, in spite of my 20 years' experience. From under tho door there curled a little rod ribbon of blood, which had meandered across the passage and formed a little pool along tho skirting at tho other side. I gave a cry, which brought the boots back. Ho nearly fainted when ho saw it. Tiie door was locked on tho inside, but wo put our shoulders to it and knocked it in. The window of tho room was open, and befiido tho window, all huddled up, lay the body of a man in his nightdress. Ho was quito dead and had been for some timo, for his limbs were rigid and cold. When wo turned him over, the boots recognized him at once as being tho same gentleman who had engaged the room under tho name of Joseph Stangerson. Tho causo of death was a deep stab in the left side, which must have penetrated tho heart. And now comes tho strangest part of the affair. What do you suppose was above the murdered man?"

I felt a creeping of tho flesh and a prosentiment of coming horror, even before Sherlock Holmes answered. "Tho word 'Radio,' written in letters of blood, ho said. "That was it," said Lestrado in an awestruck voice, and wo were all silent for awhilo.

Thero was something so methodical and_so incomprehensible about the deeds

of tEis unlaiowu assassin that it" imTparted afresh ghastliness to his crimes. My nerves, which were steady enough on the field of battle, tingled as I thought of it. "The man was seen," continued Lestrade. "A milkboy, passing on his way to the dairy, happened to walk down the lane which leads from the mews at the back of the hotel. He noticed that a ladder, which usually lay there, was raised against one of the windows of the second floor, which was wide open. After passing ho looked back and saw a man descend the ladder. He came down so quietly and openly that the boy imagined him to be some carpenter or joiner at work in the hotel. He took no particular notico of him beyond thinking in his own mind that it was early for him to boat work. He has an impression that the man was tall, had a reddish face and was dressed in a long brownish coat. Ho must have staid in the room somelittlo time after the murder, for we found blood stained water in the basin, where he had washed his hands, and marks on the sheets where ho had deliberately wiped his knife."

I glanced at Holmes on hearing the description of the murderer, which tallied so exactly with his own. Thero was, however, no trace of exultation or satisfaction upon his face. "Did you find nothing in tho room which could furnish a clew to the murderer?" he asked. "Nothing. Stangerson had Drebber's purse in his pocket, but it seems that this was usual, as he did all the paying. There was eighty odd pounds in it, but nothing had been taken. Whatever the motives of these extraordinary crimes, robbery is certainly not one of them. There were no papers or memoranda in the murdered man's pocket, except a single telegram, dated from Cleveland about a month ago and containing the words, J. H. is in Europe.' Thero was no name appended to this message. "And there was nothing else?" Holmes asked. "Nothing of any importance. The man's novel, with which he had read himself to sleep, was lying upon the bed, and his pipe was on a chair beside him. There was a glass of water on the table, and on tho window sill a small chip ointment box containing a couple of pills

Sherlock Holmes sprang from his chair with an exclamation of delight. "The last link, ho cried exultantly. "My case is complete.

The two detectives stared at him in amazement. "I have now in my hands," my companion said confidently, "all the threads which have formed such a tangle. There are, of course, details to be filled in, but I am as certain of all the main facts, from the time that Drebber parted from Stangerson at the station up to the discovery of the body of the latter, as if I had seen them with my own eyes. I will give you a proof of my knowledge. Could you lay your hand upon those pills?" "I have them,"said Lestrade, producing a small white box. "I took them, and the purse, and the telegram, intending to have them put in a place of safety at the police station. It was the merest chance, my taking these pills, for I am bound to say that I do not attach any importance to them. "Give them here," said Holmes. "Now, doctor," turning to me, "are those ordinary pills?"

They certainly were not. They were of a pearly gray color, small, round and almost transparent against the light. "From their lightness and transparency I should imagine that they are soluble in water, I remarked. "Precisely so," answered Holmes. "Now, would you mind going down and fetching that poor little devil of a terrier which has been bad so long, and which the landlady wanted you to put out of its pain yesterday?"

I went down stairs and carriod tho dog up stairs in my arms. Its labored breathing and glazing eye showed that it was not far from its end. Indeed its snow wliito muzzle proclaimed that it had already exceeded the usual term of canine existence. I placed it upon a cushion on the rug. "I will now cut one of these pills in two," said Holmes, and drawing his penknife he suited tho action to the word. "One half we return into tho box for the future purposes. Tho other half I will place in this wineglass, in which is a teaspoonful of water. You perceive that our friend, the doctor, is right, and that it readily dissolves." "This may bo very interesting," said Lestrado in the injured tone of ono who suspects that he is being laughed at. "I cannot see, however, what it has to do with the death of Mr. Joseph Stangerson.'' "Patience, my friend, patience! You will find in time that it has everything to do with it. I shall now add a little milk to mako tho mixturo palatable, and on presenting it to the dog we find that ho laps it up readily enough."

As he spoko ho turned the contents of the wineglass into a saucer and placed it in front of tho terrier, who speedily licked it dry. Sherlock Holmes' earnest demeanor had so far convinced us that we all sat in silence, watching tho animal intently and expecting some startling effect. None such appeared, however. The dog continued to lio stretched upon tho cushion, breathing in a labored way, but apparently neither the better nor the worse for its draft.

Holmes had taken out his watch, and as minute followed minuto without result an expression of the utmost chagrin and disappointment appeared upon his features. Ho gnawed his lip, drummed his fingers upon the table and showed every other symptom of acuto impatience. So great was his emotion that I felt sincerely sorry for him, whilo the two detectives smilod derisively, by no means displeased at this check which ho had met. "It can't bo a coincidence." ho criod, at last springing from his chair and pacing wildly up and down the room. "It is impossible that it should bo a

mere coincidence. The very pilfs whicU I suspected in the case of Drebber are actually found after the death of Stangerson. And yet they are inert. What can it mean? Surelv in3- whole chain of

is none the worse. Ah, I have it! I have it!" With a perfect shriek of delight he rushed to the box, cut the other pill in two, dissolved it, added milk and presented it to the terrier. The unfortunate creature's tongue seemed hardly to have been moistened in it before it gave a convulsive shiver in every limb and lay as rigid and lifeless as if it had been struck by lightning.

Sherlock Holmes drew a long breath and wiped the perspiration from his forehead. "I should have moro faith," he said. "I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears to bo opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to lie capable of bearing some other interpretation. Of the two pills in that box one was the most deadly poison, and the other was entirely harmless. I ought to have known that before ever I saw the box at all."

This last statement appeared to me to bo so startling that I could hardly believe that ho was in his sober senses. There was the dead dog, however, to prove that his conjecture had been correct. It seemed to mo that the mists in my own mind were gradually clearing away, and I began to have a dim, vague perception of the truth,. 1 (To be run tinned

lias ado This Rule.

Persons with dogs and other pots meet with a cold and clammy reception in New York boarding houses. They may occasionally steal into fashionable flats, where tho landlord or agent has no direct means of circumventing them, but when it comes to the boarding house things arc a little more definite.

A nice looking married couple went into a Twenty-third street boarding house tho other day and were made comfortable. After the first dinner the lady was observed scraping together some dainties from the board to take to her room. The landlady, who is a woman of great decision of character, heard of it, and her knock was shortly afterward beard at the door of the new boarders. Tho latter wero immediately Notified that either they or the dog must vacate at once. "If I cannot keep my darling Xenophon,we'll move," protested tho owner of tho dog, who practiced the principle of "Love me, love my dog. "Then you'll have to move, said the landlady firmly. "I'm not keeping a dog kennel." "How in the world they ever got that dog in here without my seeing it," said she, after tho obnoxious Xenophon had been disposed of, "is more than I can understand. I've had all I want of dogs. A gentleman used to keep a small but ferocious bulldog in his room where I onoe lived. He was the ugliest brute I ever laid my eyes on—the dog, not the man. That dog wouldn't let anybody but his owner tamper with him. The man used to lug him around with him everywhere he went. One night, when the man came in, he was feeling so oblivious to earthly things that he left his dog locked in the vestibule. The next boarder who came in got no farther than the vestibule and landed down the steps with a square yard of trousers missing. He was soon joined by another boarder, who wanted to come to bed. They rang the bell until several of us came down to see what was the matter. On opening the door the dog sprang for us as if he hadn't been fed for a week and wanted anything that came handy, but wo slammed the door to again just in timo. As we could not awaken the owner we had to leave the dog there till morning, and those who wero outside had to go to a hotel. In the morning everybody had to go and come by the servant's entranco until the owner of tho animal came down and got us out of tho fix."
