A STDDY IN SCARLET.

By A. COB AN DOYLE.

"All tin's MH'IIIS sf range to you," continued Holmes, "beeauso you failed at the beginning of the inquiry to grasp the importance of the singitj real clew which was presented to you. I had the good Inrtnno to seize upon that, and cv©rything which has occurred since then lias served to confirm my original supposition and indeed was the logical sequence of it. Hence things which have perplexed you and made the case more obscure have served to enlighten me and to strengthen my conclusions. It is a .mistake to confound strangeness with mystery. Tho most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious beeauso it presents no now or special features from which deductions may be drawn. This

murder would have been infinitely more difficult to unravel had the body of the victim been simply found lying in the roadway without any of those outre and ••••••sensational accompaniments which have rendered it remarkable. These strange detail."', far l'rom making the case more difficult, have really had the effect of .. inakii:g it less so.

Mr. Gregson, who had listened to this address with considerable impatience, could contain himself no longer. ''Look here, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, "he said, "we are all ready to acknowledge that you are a smart man, and that you havo you* own methods of working. Wo want something more than mere theory and preaching now, though. It is a case of taking the man. I have made my case out, and it seems I was wrong. Young Charpentier could not havo been engaged in this second affair. Lestrade went after his man, Stangerson, and it appears that ho was wrong too. You havo thrown out hints here and hints there and seem to know more than wo do, but tho time has come when we feel that we have a right to ask you straight how much you do know of the business. Can ytu name the man who did it?" "I cannot help feeling that Gregson is right, sir, remarked Lestrade. "We have both tried, and we have both failed. You have remarked moro than once since I have been in the room that you had all the evidonco which you require. Surely you will not withhold it any longer." "Any delay in arresting tho assassin,'' I observed, "might give hirn time to perpetrate some fresh atrocity."

Thus pressed by us all, Holmes showed signs of irresolution. He continued to "walk up and down the room with his head sunk on his chest and his brows drawn down, as was his habit when lost in thought. "There will bo no more murders," ho said at last, stopping abruptly and facing us. "You can put that consideration out of the question. You havo asked me if I know the name of the assassin. I do. Tho mere knowing of his name is a small thing, however, compared with tho power of laying our hands upon him. This I expect very shortly to do. I

have good hopes of managing it through my own arrangements, but it is thing which needs delicate handling, In* wo havo a slirowd and desperate man to deal with, who is supported, as I have had occasion to prove, by another, who is as clever as himself. As long as this man has no idea that any one can have a clew thero is some eliance of securing him, but if he had the slightest suspicion ho would change his name and vanish in an instant among the 4,000,000 inhabitants of this great city. Without meaning to hurt either of your feelings I am bound to say that I consider these men to be moro than a match for tho official force, and that is why I have not asked your assistance. If I fail, I shall of course incur all the blamo due to this omission, but that I am prepared for. At present I am ready to promise that the instant that I can communicate with you without endangering my own combinations I shall do so.

Gregson and Lestrade seemed to be far from satisfied by this assuranco or by tho depreciating allusion to the detective police. Tho former had flushed up to tho roots of his flaxen hair, while the other's beady eyes glistened with curiosity and resentment. Neither of them had time to speak, however, before there was a tap at the door and the spokesman of the street arabs, young Wiggins, introduced his insignificant and unsavory person. "Pleasb, sir," ho said, touching his forelock, "I havo tho cab down stairs. "Good boy," said Holmes blandly. "Why don't, you introduce this pattern at Scotland Yard?" Jus continued, taking a pair of steel handcuffs from a drawer. "Seehow beautifully tho springs works. They fasten in an instant." "Tho old pattern is good enough," remarked Lestrade, "if we can find tho L.

man to put them on." "Very good, very good, said Holmes, smiling. "Tho cabman may as well help mo with my boxes. Just ask him to step up, Wiggins.

I was surprised to find my companion speaking as though howero about to set 5 out on a journey, since he had not said anything to

1110

about it. Thero was a

small pormanteau in the room, and this he pulled out and began to strap. He was busily engaged at it when tho cabman entered tho room. "Just give mo a help with this buckle, cabman, "ho said, kneeling over his task and never turning his head.

The follow came forward with a somowhat sullen, defiant air and put down his bands to assist. At that instant thero t?as a sharp click, tho jangling of metal, U»nd Sherlock Holmes sprang to his feet S ftgain. "Gentlemen, ho cried, with flashing '^res, "let me introduce you to Mr. Jef£rson Hope, the murderer of Enoch ^rebber and of Joseph Stangorson.

The wholo thing occurred in a movent, so quickly that I had no timo to realize it. I havo a vivid recollection of lliat instant, of Holmes' triumphant expression and the ring of his voice, of tho -^bman's. dazed, savage ^faco as ho

I glared at the glittering handcuffs I which had appeared as if by magic upOil his wrists. For a second or two wo might have been a group of statues,

Then, with an inarticulate roar of fury, the prisoner wrenched himself free from Holmes' grasp and hurled himself through the window. Woodwork and Klass gave way before him, but before ho got qui to through Gregson, Lestrudo and Holmes sprang upon him like so many staghonnds. He was dragged back into the room, and then commenced a terrific conflict. So powerful and so tierce was he that tho four of us were rhaken off again and again. He appeared to have the convulsive strength of a man in an epileptic lit. I His face and hands were terribly mangled by tho passage through the glass, I but loss of blood had no effect in diminishing his resistance. It was not until

Lestrado succeeded in getting his hand

Inside his neck cloth and half stran1 gling him that we made him realize that

his struggles wero of no avail, and even then we felt

110

security until wo had

pinioned his feet as well as his hands. That done, wo rose to our feet breathless and panting. "We have his cab,"said Sherlock Holi nes. "It will serve to take him to Scotland Yard. And now, gentlemen," he continued, with a pleasant smile, "we havo reached the end of our little mystery. You are very welcome to put any questions that you like to mo now, and thero is no danger that I will refuse to answer them."

PART TWO.

[The Cuioii)-// of Ihv, Saints.]

CHAPTER I.

In tho central portion of tho great North American continent there lies an arid and repulsive desert, which for many a long year served as a barrier against tho advanco of civilization. From the Sierra Nevada to Nebraska and from tho Yellowstone river in the north to the Colorado upon the south is a region of desolation and silence. Nor is nature always in one mood throughout this grim district. It comprises snow capped and lofty mountains and dark and gloomy valleys. There are swift flowing rivers which dasli through jagged canyons, and there are enormous plains which in winter are white with snow and in summer aro gray with the saline alkali dust. They all preserve, however, the common characteristics of barrenness, inliospitality and misery.

There are no inhabitants of this land of despair. A band of Pawnees or of Blackfeet may occasionally traverse it in order to reach other hunting grounds, but the hardiest of the braves are glad to lose sight of those awesome plains and to find themselves once moro upon their prairiea The coyote skulks among the scrub, the buzzard flaps heavily through the air, and the clumsy grizzly bear lumbers through the dark-ravines and picks up such sustenance as it can among the rocks. These are the sole dwellers in the wilderness.

In the whole world there can be no more dreary view than that from the northern slope of the Sierra Blanco. As far as tho eye can reach stretches the great flat plain land, all dusted over with patches of alkali and intersected by clumps of the dwarfish chaparral bushes. On tho extreme verge of the horizon lie a long chain of mountain peaks, with their rugged summits flecked with snow. In this great stretch of country there is no sign of life nor of anything appertaining to life. There is no bird in the steel blue heaven, no movement upon the dull, gray earth. Above all, there is absoluto silence. Listen as ono may, there is

110

shadow of a sound in all that

mighty wilderness. Nothing but silenco —complete and heart subduing silence. I It has been said there is nothing appertaining to life upon tho broad plain. That is hardly true. Looking down from tho Sierra Blanco ono sees a pathwaj* traced out across tho desert, which winds away and is lost in the extreme distanco. It is rutted with wheels and trodden down by tho feet of many adventurers. Hero and thero aro scattered white objects which glisten in tho sun and stand out against the dull deposit of alkali. Approach and examine them! They are bones. Some large and coarse, others smaller and moro delicate. The former have belonged to oxen and the latter to men. For 1,500 miles one may traco this ghastly caravan route by the scattered remains of thoso who had fallen by tho wayside.

Looking down

011

this very scene,

there stood upon tho 4th of May, 1847, a solitary traveler. His appearance was such that ho might have been tho very genius or demon of tho region. An observer would have found it difficult to say whether ho was nearer to 40 or 00. His face was lean and haggard, and the brown, parchmentlike skin was drawn tightly over tho projecting bones his long, brown hair and beard wero all flecked and dashed with white his eyes wero sunken in his head and burned with an unnatural luster, whilo the hand which grasped his rifle was hardly moro fleshy than that of a skeleton. As ho stood, ho leaned upon his weapon for support, and yet his tall figure and tho massive framework of his bones suggested a wiry and vigorous constitution. His gaunt face, however, and his clothes, which hung so baggily over his shriveled limbs, proclaimed what it was that gave him that senilo and decrepit appearance. Tho man was dying—dying from hunger and from thirst.

Ho had toiled painfully down the ravino and on to this littlo elevation in tho vain liopo of seeing somo signs of water. Now tho great salt plain stretched beforo his eyes, and tho distant belt of savage mountains, without a sign anywhere of plant or tree, which might indicate the presence of moisturo. In all that broad landscape thero was 110 gleam of liopo. North and east and west ho looked with wild, questioning eyes, and then he realized that his wanderings had como to an end, and that there,

also a large bundle tied up in a gray shawl, which ho had carried slung over his ri«ht shoulder. It appeared to be somewhat too heavy for his strength, for, in lowering it, it came down

care. The child was pale and wan, but her healthy arms and legs showed that she had suffered less than her companion. -I "How is it now?" ho answered anxiously, for she was still rubbing the I towsy golden curls which covered the 1 back of her head. "Kiss it and make it well," she said, 1 with perfect gravity, shoving the in- I jurcd part up to him. "That's what mother used to do. Where's mother?" "Mother's gone. I guess you'll see her beforo long.

"Gone,

"I11

courso he did," said tho companion, rather startled by this unexpected question. "Ho made tho country down in Illinois, an I10 made the Missouri," the littlo girl continued. "I guess somebody else made tho country in thoso parts. It's not nearly so well done. They forgot tho water and the trees." vm "What would yo think of offering up prayer?" the man asked diffidently. "It ain't night yet," sho answered. "It don't mattor. It ain't quito regular, but he won't mind that, you bet. You say over them ones that you used to say every night in tho wagon when we was

that barren crag, ho was about to dio. "Why not hero as well as in a feather

"Why don't you say somo yourself?" tho child asked, with wondering eye. "I disrenu inber them, he answered. "I hain't said none since I was half the height o' that gun. I guess it's never too late. You say them out, and I'll stand by and como in on the choruses." "Then you'll need to kneel down,and me, too, sho said, laying tho shawl out for that purpose. "You've got to put your hands up like this. It makes you feel kind of good."

It was a strange sight, had there been anything but the buzzards to see it. Sido by side

ground wirh some littlo violence. Instantly there broke from the gray parcel a little moaning cry, and from it there protruded a small, scared face, with very bright brown eyes, and !wo speckled dimpled fists. "You've hurt me!" said a childish voice reproachfully. "Have I, though?" the man answered penitently. "I didn't go for to do it. As lie spoke he unwrapped the gray 'shawl and extricated a pretty little girl of about 5 years of age, whose dainty shoes and smart pink frock, with its little linen apron, all bespoke a mother's

eh?" said tho little girl,

"Funny she didn't say goodby. Sho 'most always did if she was just goin over to auntie's for tea, and now she's been away for three days. Say, it's aw- I ful dry, ain't it? Ain't there no water nor nothin to eat?" "No, there ain't nothing, dearie. You'll just need to be patient awhile, and then you'll be all right. Put your hand up agin mo like that, and then you'll feel better. It ain't easy to talk when yonr lips is liko leather, but I guess I'd best let you know how the cards lie. What's that you've got?" "Pretty things! Fine things!" cried the little girl enthusiastically, holding up two glittering fragments of mica. "When we goes back to home, I'll give them to Brother Bob. "You'll see prettier things than them soon," said tho man confidently. "You just wait a bit. I was goin to tell you, though—you remember when we left the river?" "Oh, yes." "Well, wo reckoned we'd strike another river soon, d'ye see? But there was somethin wrong, compasses or map or somethin, and it didn't turnup. Water ran out, just except a little drop for the likes of you, and—and"— "And you couldn't wash yourself," interrupted his companion gravely, string up at his grimy visage. "J "No, nor drink. And Mr. Bender, he was the first to go, and then Indian Pete, and then Mrs. McGregor, and then Johnny Hones, and then, dearie, your mother." "Then mother's a deader, too," cried the little girl, dropping her face in her pinafore and sobbing bitterly. "Yes, they all went except you and me. Then I thought there was some chance of water in this direction, so I heaved you over my shoulder, and we tramped it together. It don't seem as though we've improved matters. There's an almighty small chance for us now!" "Do you mean that we are goin to die, too?" asked the child, checking her sobs and raising her tear stained face. "I guess that's about the 6ize of it." "Why didn't you say so before?" she said, laughing gleefully. "You gave mo such a fright. Why, of course, now as long as we die wre'll be with mother again." "Yes, you will, dearie." "And you too. I'll tell her how awful good you've been. I'll bet she meets us at the door of heaven with a big pitcher of water and a lot of buckwheat cakes, hot and toasted on both sides, like Bob and me was fond of. How long will it be first?" "I don't know—not very long. Tho man's eyes wero fixed upon the northern horizon. In tho bluo vault of tho heaven there appeared three little specks, which increased in size every moment, so rapidly did they approach. They speediiy resolved themselves into threo large brown birds, which circled over the heads of the two wanderers and then settled upon some rocks which overlooked them. They wero buzzards, tho vultures of the west, whoso coming is tho forerunner of death. "Cocks and hens," cried tho little girl gleefully, pointing at their ill omened forms and clapping her hands to make them rise. "Say, did God make this country?"

the narrow shawl knelt tho

two wanderers, tho littlo prattling child fliid the_reckjesst hardened adventurer.

one thin and clear, the other deep and harsh—united in the entreaty for mercy and forgiveness. Tho prayer finished, they resumed their seat in tho shadow of the bowlder, until the child fell asleep, nestling upon the broad breast of her protector. He watched over her slumber for some time, but nature proved to be too strong for him. For three days and three nights ho had allowed himself neither rest nor repose. Slowly tho eyelids drooped over the tired eyes, and the head sunk lower and lower upon the breast until the man's grizzled beard was mixed with the golden tresses of his companion, and both slept the same

and_dreamless slumber.
