"That was how Enoch Drebber came to his end. All I had to do then was to do as much for Stangerson, and so pay off John Ferrier's debt. I knew that ho was staying at Holiday's Private hotel, and I hung about all day, but ho never canio out. I fancy that he suspected something when Drebber failed to put in an appearance. He was cunning, was Stangerson, and always on his guard. If ho thought

ould keep me off by stay­

ing indoors, ho was very much mistaken. I soon fouiul out which was the window of his bedroom, and early next morning I took advantage of some ladders which were lying in the lane behind the hotel, and so made my way into his room in the gray of the dawn. "I woke him up and told him that the hour had come when he was to answer for the life he had taken so long before. I described Drebber\s death to liim, and I gave him the same choice of the poisoned pills. Instead of grasping at thonhanco ot' safety which that offered him, he sprang from his bed and flew at my throat. In self defense I stabbed him to the heart. It would have been tho same in any case, for Providence would never have allowed his guilty hand to pick out anything but the poi-

"I have littlo moro to say, and it's as well, for I am about done up. I went on cabbing it for a day or so, intending to keep at it until I could savo enough to take mo back to America. I was standing in the yard when a ragged youngster asked if there was a cabby there called Jefferson Hope and said that his cab was wanted by a gentleman at 221 Raker streot. I went round, suspecting no harm, and the next thing I knew this young man here had the bracelets on my wrists and as neatly shackled as ever I was in my life. That's thewhole of my story, gentlemen. You may consider me to bo a murderer, but I hold that. I am just as much an officer of justice as you are.

So thrilling had tho man's narrative been, and his manner was so impressive, that wo had sat silent and absorbed. Even tho professional detectives, tilase as they were in every detail of crimo, appeared to bo keenly interested in tho man's story. When he finished, wo sat for some minutes in a stillness which was only broken by the scratching of Lestrade's pencil as he gave the finishing touches to hia shorthand account. "There is only one point on which I should like a little more information," Sherlock Holmes said at last. "Who was your accomplice who came for the ring which I advertised?"

Tho prisoner winked at my friend jocosely. "I can tell my own secrets, he said, "but I don't get other people into trouble. I saw your advertisement, and I thought it might be a plant, or it might be tho ring I wanted. My friend volunteered to go and see. I think you'll own ho did it. smartly. "Not a doubt of that," said Holmes heartily.

t,

"Now, gentlomen," the inspector remarked gravely, "the forms of the law must be complied with. On Thursday the prisoner will be brought before the magistrates, and your attendance will be required. Until then I will be responsible for him." He rang the bell as he spoke, and Jefferson Hope was led off by a couplo of warders, while my friend and I made our way out of the station and took a cab back to Baker street.

CHAPTER VII.

We had all been warned to appear before tho magistrates upon the Thursday, but when tho Thursday came there was no occasion for our testimony. A higher Judge had taken the matter in hand, and Jefferson Hope had been summoned before a tribunal where strict justice would be meted out to him. On tho very night after hia capture the aneurism burst, and he was found in the morning stretched upon tho floor of the cell, with a placid smile upon his face, as though he had been ablo in his dying moments to look back upon a useful life and on work well done. "Gregson and Lestrade will bo wild about his death," Holmes remarked as we chatted it over next evening. "Where will their grand advertisement be now?" "I don't see that they had very much to do with his capture, I answered. "What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence," returned my companion bitterly. "The question is, What can you make people beliove you have done? Never mind, he continued moro brightly after a pause, "I would not have missed tho investigation for anything. There has been no better case within my recollection. Simple as it was, there wero soveral most instructive points about it." "Simple!" I ejaculated. "Well, really, it can hardly bo described as otherwise," said Sherlock Holmes, smiling at my surprise. "Tho proof of its intrinsic simplicity is that without any help, savo a very few ordinary deductions, I was ablo to lay my hand upon tho criminal within three days." "That is true," said I. "I have already explained to you that what is out of tho common is usually a f^uido rather than a hindrance. In solving a problem of this sort the grand thing ia to bo able to reason backward. That is a very useful accomplishment and a very easy one, but pooplo do not practice it much. In the everyday affairs of life it is moro useful to reason forward, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are 50 who can reason synthetically for ono who can reason analytically." "I confess," said I, "that I do not quite follow yon." "I hardly expocted that you would. Let me see if I can make it clear. Most people, if you doscribo a train of events to them, will tell you what the result would be. They can put those events together in their minds and arguo from

ilSlSfitegtis

-. /k'.H'*-

them that something will come to pass. There are few people, however, who, if you told them a result, woald be able to evolve from their own *nner consciousness what the steps wero which led up to that result. This power is what I mean when I talk of reasoning backward, or analytically." "I undeistand," said I. "Now, this was a case in which you were given tho result and had to find everything else for yourself. Now, let me endeavor to show you the different steps in my reasoning. To begin at the beginning, I approached the house, as you know, on foot and with my mind entirely free from all impressions. I naturally began by examining tho roadway, and there, as I have already explained to you, I saw clearly the marks of a cab, which, I ascertained by inquiry, must have been there during tho night. I satisfied myself that it was a cab and not a private carriage by the narrow gaugo of tlie wheels. The ordinary London growler is considerably less wino than a gentleman's brougham. "This was the first point gained. I then walked slowly down the garden path, which happened to be composed of a clay soii, peculiarly suitable for taking impressions. No doubt it appeared to you to be a mere trampled line of slush, but to my trained eye every mark upon its surface had a meaning. Thero is no branch of detective scienco which is so important and so much neglected as tho art of tracing footsteps. Happily I havo always laid great stress upon it, and much practice has made it second naturo to me. I saw the heavy footmarks of tho constables, but I saw also the tracks of the two men who had first passed through Mie garden. It was easy to tell that they had been before the others, beeauso in places their marks had been entirely obliterated by tho others coming upon tho top of them. In this way my second link was formed, which told mo that tho nocturnal visitors wero two in number, one remarkable for his height, as I calculated from the length of his stride, and the other fashionably dressed, to judge from tho small and elegant impression left by his boots. "On entering the liouso this last inference was confirmed. My well booted man lay before me. Tho tall one, then, had dono the murder, if murder there was. There was no wound upon the dead man's person, but the agitated expression upon his face assured me that ho had foreseen his fate before it came upon him. Men who die from heart disease or any sudden natural cause never by any chance exhibit agitation upon their features. Having sniffed the dead man's lips, I detected a slightly sour smell, and I came to the conclusion that he had had poison forced upon him. Again, I argued that it had been forced upon him from the hatred and fear expressed upon his face. By the method of exclusion I had arrived at this result, for no other hypothesis would meet the faots. Do not imagine that it was a very unheard of idea. The forcible administration of poison is by no means a new thing in criminal annals. The cases of Dolsky in Odessa and of Leturier in Montpellier will occur at once to any toxicologist. "And now came the great question a3 to the reason why. Robbery had not been the object of the murder, for nothing was taken. Was it politics, then, or was it a woman? That was the question which confronted me. I was inclined from the first to the latter supposition. Political assassins are only too glad to do thoir work and to fly. This murder had, on the contrary, been done most deliberately, and tho perpetrator had left his tracks all over the room, showing that ho had been there all tho time. It must havo been a private wrong and not a political one which called for such a methodical revenge. When the inscription was discovered upon the wall, I was more inclined than ever to my opinion. The thing was too evidently a blind. When the ring was found, however, it settled the question. Clearly the murderer had used it to remind his victim of some dead or absent woman. It was at this point that I asked Gregson whether he had inquired in his telegram to Cleveland as to any particular point in Mr. Drebber's former career. Ho answered, you remember, in the negative. "I then proceeded to make a careful examination of tho room, which confirmed mo in my opinion as to tho murderer's height and furnished me with tho additional detail as to tho Trichinopoly cigar and tho length of his nails. I had already come to the conclusion, since thero wero no signs of a struggle, that tho blood which covered tho floor had burst from tho murderer's nose in his excitement. I could perceive that the track of blood coincided with the track of his feet. It is seldom that any man, unless ho is very full blooded, breaks out in this way through emotion, so I hazarded tho opinion that the criminal was probably a robust and ruddy faced man. Events proved that I had judged correctly. "Having left tho house, I proceeded to do what Gregson had neglected. I telegraphed to tho head of the police at Cleveland, limiting my inquiry to tho circumstances connected with tho marriage of Enoch Drebber. Tho answer was conclusive. It told me that Drebber had already applied for tho protection of the law against an old rival in love, named Jefferson Hope, and that this samo Hope was at present in Europe. I knew now that I held the clew to the mystery in my hand and all that remained was to secure the murderer. "I had already determined in my owi: mind that tho man who had walked into the house with Drebber was none other than the man who had driven the cab. Tho marks in the road showed mo that the horse had wandered on in a way which would havo been impossible had there been any one in charge of it. Whore, then, could the driver be unless ho wero inside the house? Again, it is absurd to suppose that any sane man would carry out a doliberato crime under tho very eyes, as it wero, of a third Tiersnn who was sure to betrav him.

Lastly, supposing one man wished to dog another through London, what better means could he adopt than to turn cab driver? All these considerations led me to the irresistible conclusion that Jefferson Hope was to be found among the jarveys of the metropolis. "If he had been one, there was no reason to believe that he had ceased to be. On the contrary, from his point of view, any sudden change would be likely to draw attention to himself. He would probably, for a time at least, continue to perform his duties. There was no reason to suppose that he was going under an assumed name. Why should he chango his name in a country where no one knew his original one? I therefore organized my street arab detective corps and sent them systematically to every cab proprietor in London until they ferreted out the man ^at I wanted. How well they succeeued and how quickly I took advantage of it are still fresh in your recollection. The murder of Stangerson was an incident which was entirely unexpected, but which could hardly in any case have been prevented. Through itjWis you know, I came into possession of the pills, the existence of which I had already surmised. You see, the whole is a chain of logical sequences without a break or flaw.'' "It is wonderful!" I cried. "Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of the case. If you won't, I will for you. "You may do what you like, doctor," he answered. "Seehere!" hecontinued, handing a paper over to mo. "Look at this!"

It was Tho Echo for the day, and the paragraph to which he pointed was devoted to the caso in question. "Tho public," it said, "have lost a sensational treat through tbo sudden death of tho man Hope, who was suspected of the murder of Mr. Enoch Drebber and of Mr. Joseph Stangerson. Tho details of tho case will probably nover be known now, though we are informed upon good authority that the crime was the result of an old standing and romantic feud in which love and Mormonism boro a part. It seems that both the victims belonged in their younger days to tho Latter Day Saints, and Hope, the deceased prisoner, hails also from Salt Lake City. If the case has had no other effect, it at least brings out in the most striking manner the efficiency of our detective police force and will serve as a lesson to all foreigners that they will do wisely to settle their feuds at home and not to carry them on to British soil. It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well known Scotland Yard officials, Messrs. Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detective line, and who, with such instructors, may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill. It is expected that a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services." "Didn't I tell you so when we started?" cried Sherlock Holmes, with a laugh. "That's the result of all our Study In Scarlet—to get them a testimonial!" "Never mind," I answered. "I have all the facts in my journal, and the public shall know them. In the meantime you must make yourself contented by the consciousness of success, like the Roman miser— "Popuhis me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipso domi simul ac ntunmos contemplar in area."

THE END.

Trolley Car Wheels.

Car wheels do not last long, as the dirt and sand on the rail, together with the almost constant application of the brakes, have the tendency to wear them out. As soon as the flange becomes sharp or the tread uneven the wheel must bo removed. A wheel on a motor car averages about 350 pounds, is made of chilled iron and will make about 35,000 miles before it is thrown on the scrap heap. Tho average cost of a wheel is 2 cents per pound, and to replace a wheel costs about $3 to $5, while the old wheels are taken back at from $1.75 to $2.50 apiece, according to weight. Steel tired wheels cost considerably moro money than cast iron, yet they are not very popular, and but comparatively few are used, even if they last longer in service.—Philadelphia Press.

A Stuffed Skeleton.

"Don John of Austria," Staveley tells us, "governor of tho Netherlands, dying in his camp at Nemours, was carried from thenco to the great church at Havre, where his funeral was solemnized and a monument erected to him by the Prince of Parma. His body was afterward taken to pieces, and the bones, packed in mails, were privately carried into Spain, where, being set together with small wires, the body was rejointed again, and, being stuffed with cotton and richly habited, Don John was presented to the king entire, leaning on his commander's staff." It was the grewsome custom in Spain to set up the corpse of its king in state and to have him waited upon as though he were alive.—London Illustrated News.

Hats' Teeth.

Tho teeth of rats are kept sharp by a very peculiar provision of nature. The outer edge of the incisors is covered with a layer of enamel as hard as flint, while the under sido is much softer. The layers of enamol on tho under side, therefore, wear away much faster than those on tho upper surface, and a keen cutting edgo is always .presented.

Another Klhn Vini Wsinhed Ashore. LONDON, Feb. 18.—The body of Wil-

h«m Merst, a fireman on the Elbe, has been washed ashore at Walmur Kent.

Wily Reynard.

Those familiar with tho "Fable3 of JEsop" will remember the reputation which Reynard bears among tho rest of the animals. It is questionable whether any wild creature can compere with the fox in craftiness. To look at him generally, even in his ordinary habits, he exhibits an amount of cleverness which astonishes one. Should a fox catch a hedgehog, whose spines effectually protect him from most of his enemies, hp does not waste time, as a fox terrier will do, in endeavoring to worry his prey. He merely rolls him to the nearest water, knowing that a drop or two will cause tho animal to relax his hold.

It is a raro thing to catch one in a trap laid at tho door of his "earth" even. If ho is inside when the trap is set, he waits until some other animal springs it and then emerges to eat the victim and the bait. Only when driven by the terrible pangs of hunger will he tempt fate in his own person. Most animals gorge themselves when they are fortunate enough to come across a superabundance of food. Not so with Reynard. Should he find a poultry yard well stocked and ill protected he fills his larders first. Nor does he, as the proverb says, "put all his eggs in one basket." Ho puts one fowl in a hedge, hides another in a bush, places a third in a hole in a tree, rapidly .digs a cavity for a fourth and covers it up again, remembering in each caso where his stores are concealed. And when his supplies are sufficient in his own estimation he takes a fine fat chicken or duck to his "earth" for present enjoyment.

Looking Backward.

The superstition of tho ill luck of looking backward or returning is a very ancient one, originating doubtless from Lot's wife, who "looked back from behind him" when I10 was led by an angel outside the doomed city of the plain. I11 Roberts' "Oriental Illustrations" it is stated to bo "considered exceedingly unfortunate in Hindoostan for men or women to look back when they leave their house. Accordingly, if a man goes out and leaves something behind him which liiswifo knows ho will want, she does not call him to turn or look back, but takes or sends it after him, and if some great emergency obliges him to look back he will not then proceed on the business he was about to transact."—Exchange.

Energy In Matter.

It is estimated by Professor Dolbear that a lump of coal weighing a pound has in it energy enough to lift its weight 1,000 miles high. He says that this energy is inherent in matter that every particle of matter is constantly exerting its force 011 every other particle, and that if not prevented they will come together, no matter how far apart they may be.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 18.—The miners' investigating committee vindicated John McBride and condemned Mark Wild Saturday, by making the following report: "We, your committee, after a full investigation of the charges preferred against John McBride by Mark Wild, find John McBride not guilty." The vote on the resolution of vindication stood—122 to 4. The following officers were then elected: President, P. H. Penna vioe president, Cameron Miller secretary-treasurer, Patrick McBride. re-elected.

Three Children Suffocated. GRAYLING, Mich., Feb. 18.—Three

children, aged 9, 6 and 4 years, respectively, lost their lives in afire at Lewiston Saturday night. The children had been put to bed while their father, Eli Seymour, and wife attended a Maccabee's dance. When they returned the house was in flames. When the fire had been sufficiently extinguished to enter the house the children were found dead side by side in bed. They had evidently been suffocated without having been awakened. The cause of the fire is unknown.
