as an abstract problem, I had forgotten how personal and painlul ailiingit might be to you. I assure you, however, that I never even knew that vou had a brother tti..il you handed me the watch." '•Then how in the name of all that is .wonderful did vou net these facts? Thev :inic-!y cornet in every particular, that is good nick. 1 could only say as the balance of probability.

Surely it is no great feat to assume that a man who treats a SO guinea watch so cavalierly must be a careless man. Neither is it a very far fetched inference that a man who inherits one article of such value is pretty well provided for in other respects."

I nodded to show that I followed his reasoning. •'It is very customary for pawnbrokers in England when they take a watch to scratch the number of the ticket with a pinpoint upon the inside of the ease. It is more handy than a label, as there is no risk of the numbers being lost or transposed. There are 110 less than four numbers visible to my lens on the inside of this case. Inference—that your brother was often at low water. Secondary inference —that lie had occasional bursts of prosperity, or he could not. have redeemed the pledge. Finally, I ask you to look at tho inner plate, vhieh contains the keyhole. Look at the thousands of scratches all round the hole—marks where tho key had slipped. What.sober man's key could have scored those moves!' Hut you will never see. a drunkard's watch without them, lie winds it at night, and he leaves these traces of his unsteady hand. Where is the mystery in all this:'" ''It is as clear as daylight," I answered. "I regret, the injustice which I did you. I should have had more faith in your marvelous faculty. May I ask whether you have any professional inquiry 011 foot at present:'" "None hence the cocaine. I cannot live without- brain work. What else is there to live for? Si and at the window here. Was ev such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable wo.-ki? See how the yellow fog swirls down the stivet and drifts acro-s dun colored houses. hat could he more hopele.-sly prosaic and material? What is I the use of having powers, doctor, w: I one has no field upon which, to exert them? Crime is eommonj.!ace, and existence is I commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any fanetion upon earth." I

I had opened my mouth to reply to this tirade when, with a crisp knock, our landlady enlered, bearing a card upon tho brass salver. "A youiiLr lady for you, sir," she said, addressing my companion. "Miss Mary Morstan," lie read. '"Hum. I have 110 recollection of the name. Ask the young h. 'y to step up, Mrs. Hudson. Don't go, doctor. I shall prefer that you remain."

CHAPTER II.

Miss Morstan entered the room with a firm step and an outward composure of manner. She was a blond young lady, small, dainty, well gloved and dressed in tho most, perfcct taste. There was, however, a plainness and simplicity about her costume which bore with it a suggestion of limited means. The dress was a somber grayish beige, untriinmed and unbraided, and she woi" a small turban of the same dull hue, relieved only by a suspicion of white leather in tho side. Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexi'in, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her largo bluo eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic. In an experience of women which extends fiver many nations and three separate continents I have never looked upon a face which gave a clearer promiso of a refined and sensitive nature. I could not but observe that as she took the seat which Sherlock Holmes placed for her her lip trembled, her hand quivered, and sho showed every sign of intense inward agitation.

I have come to yon, Mr. Holmes," sho said, "because you once enabled my employer, Mrs. Cecil Forrester, to unravel a little domestic complication. She was much impressed by your kindness and skill." "Mrs. Cecil Forrester," ho repeated thoughtfully "I believe that I was of some slight service to her. Tho case, however, as I remember it, was a very simple one.'' "She did not think so. But at least you cannot say the same of mine. I can hardly imagine anything moro strango, moro Bfcterly inexplicable, than tlio situation in -wtiich I find myself."

Holmes rubbed his hands, and his eyes glistened. Ko leaned forward in his chair w|jph an expression of extraordinary con--^entr,ation upin his.cle.ar cut, hawklike

leaturcs. "Mace your ease," saia no in brisk business tones. 1 felt that my position was an em bar-• rassing one. "You will, I am sure, excuse me," I said, rising from my chair.

To mv surprise the young lady held up her gloved hand to detain me. "If your friend," she said, ''would be good enough to stop, he might be of inestimable service to me."

I relapsed into my chair. "Brieliy," she continued, "the facts arc these: My father was an officer in an Indian regiment who sent me homo when I was quite a child. My mother was dead, and I had no relative in England. I was placed, however, in a comfortable boarding establishment, at Edinburgh, and there I remained until I was 17 years of age. I11 the year

You have made inquires into the history of my unhappy brother, and you now pretend to dcduce this km. vledge in some fanciful Way. Vou cannot expect me to believe that you ha read all this from his old Watch. It is unkind, and. to speak plainly, lias a touch of charlatanism in it." ".My dear doctor," said lie kindly, "pray flcccpt my apologies. Viewing the matter

my father, who was sen

ior captain of his regiment, obtained 12 months' lea^e and came home. He telegraphed to me from London that he had arrived all safe and directed me to come down at once, giving the Langham hotel as his address. Mis message, as I remember, was full of kindness and love On reaching London I drove to the Langham and was informed that Captain Morstan was staying thcro, but that he had gone out the night before and had not returned. I waited all day without news of him. That night, on the advice of the manager of the hotel, I communicated with the police, and next morning wo advertised in all the papers. Our inquiries led to no result, and from that day to this no word has ever been heard of my unfortunate father. He came home with his heart full of hope to find some peace, some comfort, and instead"— She put her hand to her throat, and a choking sob cut short the sentence.

"The date?" asked Holmes, opening his notebook. "Me disappeared 011 the 3d of December, 1S7!S, nearly ten years ago." if is luggage?" "Remained at the hotel. There was noihicg in it to suggest a clew—some clothes, some books and a considerable number of curiosities from the Andaman islands. He had been one of the oliicers in charge of the convict guard there." "Ilad he any friends in town?" "Only one that we know of—Major fae- Sholto of his own regiment", the Thirtyfourth Horn bay infantry. The major had retired some lii tie time before and lived at I'ppcr Norwood. We communicated r. him, of course, but he did not even know that his brother officer was in England." "A singular cJisoj" remarked Holmes. "I have not- yet described to you the most- singular part. About- six years ago —to ho exact, upon the 4th of May, 18S2— an advertisement appeared in Tho Times asking for the address of Miss Mary

Morstan and stating that it would bo to her advantage to come forward. There was 110

Standing at tho window, I watched her walking briskly down the street until the gray turban and white feather were but a speck in tho somber crowd. "What a very attractive woman!" I exclaimed, turning to my companion.

Ho had lit his pipe again and was leaning back, with drooping oyclids. "Is shef" he said languidly. "I did not observe." "You really aro an automaton, a calculating machine," I cried. "There is somethJncr positively inhuman in you at timoa [TO BE CONTINUED.]

With the in.ti.ui Appropriation Mill.

U.oiis:- stuu Senate.

VrAfc"iii:si xu:', Feb. 22.—The senate devoted itself to business yesterday and would have completed the Indian appropriation bill had not an acrimonious discussion arisen on the sectarian school question. Ir brought out a wide range debate 011 the separation of church and state, in the course of which the expressions were general that the government should entirely abandon denominational schools. On a nay and yea vote, an exception was made in the case of the Indian schools at Hampton, Va., find Lincoln and Philadelphia, 011 the ground that they were not strictly denominational. The sectarian question was still under consideration when the senate adjourned.

During the day two of the senatorselect from the Carolinas—ex-Governor Tillman of South Carolina and Marion Butler of North Carolina—made their first appearance on the floor, and their credentials were presented for the terms beginning March 4 next.

or address appended. I had

at that, time just entered tho family of Mrs. Cecil Forrester in tho capacity of governess. By her advice I published my address in the advertisement column. Tho same day there arrived through the post a small cardboard box addressed to me, which I fom '1 to contain a very large and lustrous pearl. "No word of writing was Inclosed. Since then every year upon the same date there lias always appeared a similar box containing a similar pearl without any clew as to the sender. They havo been pronounced by an expert to be of a rare variety and of considerable value. You can see for yourselves that they are very handsome. She opened a flat box as she spoke and showed mo six of the finest pearls that I had ever seen. "Your statement is most interesting," said Sherlock Holmes. "Has anything else occurred to you?" '•Yes, and 110 later than today. That is why I have come to you. This morning I received this letter, which you will perhaps read for yourself." "Thank you," said Holmes. ''The en velopo, too, please. Postmark London, S. W., date July 7. Hum! Man's thumb mark 011 corner—probably postman. Best finality paper. Envelopes at sixpence a packet. Particular man in his stationery. No address. 'Be at the third pillar from the left outside the Lyceum theater tonight at- 7 o'clock. If you are distrustful, bring two friends. You are a wronged woman and shall have justice. Do not bring police. If you do. all will be in vain. Your unknown friend.' Well, really, this is a very pret little mystery. What do you intend to do, Miss Morstan?" "That is exaony what I want, to ask you." '•Then we shall most certainly go. You and I and—yes, why, Dr. Watson is the very man. Your correspondent says two friends. IIo and I havo worked together before." "But would he come?" sho asked, with something appealing in her voico and expression. "I should be most proud and happy," said I fervently, "if I can be of any service." "You are both very kind," sho a.nswered. "I have led a retired lifo and havo 110 friends whom I could appeal to. If I am here at 6, it will do, I suppose?" "You must not be later," said Holmes. "There is one other point, however. Is this handwriting the same as that upon tho pearl box addresses?" "I havo them hero," sho answered, producing half a dozen pieces of paper. "You are ccrtainly a model client. You have tho correct intuition. Lot us sen now." Ilespread out the papers upon the tablo and gave little darting glanccs from one to the other. "They are disguised hands except tho letter," lie said presently, "but there can be no question as to tho authorship. See how the irrepressible Greek will break out, and sco the twirl of tho final s. They are undoubtedly by tho samo person. I should not like to 6Ug gest false hopes, Miss Morstan, but is there any resemblance between this hand and that of your father?" "Nothing could bo moro unlike." "I expected to hear you say so. Wo shall look out for you then at 6. Pray allow 1110 to keep the papers. I may look into tho matter beforo then. It is only half past 3. Au rovoir, then."

financial question did not come up (Luring the day, except indirectly in a speech by Mr. Allen opposing' an issue ot sewer bonds for Washington, and dealing with receut financial conditions.
