"You will not apply my precept.," he said, shaking his head, "How often have 1 said to yon that when you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, •however improbable, must be the truth? \Yo know that he did not come through the door, the window or the chimney. We also know 1 hat ho could not have been concealed in the room, as there is no concealment possible. Whence, then, did ho come?" "He camo through tho hole in the roof,"

I cried. "Of course he did. He must have dono so. If you will havo the kindness to hold the lamp for me, we shall now extend our researches to the room above—the secret room in which the treasure was found."

He mounted tho steps, and seizing a rafter with cither hand he swung himself up into tho garret. Then, lying on his face, he reached down for tho lamp and •'..belli it while I followed him.

Tho chamber in which we found ourselves was about ten feet one way and six the other. The floor was formed by rafters, with thin lath and plaster between, BO that in walking ono had to step from beam to beam. The roof ran to an apex and was evidently tho inner shell of tho t.ruo roof of tho house. There was no furniture of any sort, and tho accumulated dust of years lay thick upon the floor. "Hero you are, you see," said Sherlock Holmes, putting his hand against tho sloping wail. "This is a trapdoor which leads out onto tho roof. I can press it back, and here is tho roof itself, sloping at a gentle tingle. 'This, then, is tho way _*y which No. 1 entered. Let us see if wo can find somo other traces of his indi-

Tlduality." lie held down tho lamp to thofloor, and as ho did so I saw for tho second time Hiat. night a startled, surprised look come ver his face. For myself, as I followed Ilia gazo my skin was cold tinder my --Clothes. The floor was covered thickly -with tho prints of a nakod foot—clear,

lie nan recovered ms sen possession an instant. "I was staggered for the moment," he said, "but the thing is quite natural. My memory failed me, or I should have been able to foretell it. Thero is nothing more to bo learned here. Let us go down." "What is your theory, then, as to those footmarks:'" I asked eagerly when we had regained the lower room once more. "My dear Watson, try a tittle analysis yourself," said he, with a touch of impa tience. "You know my methods. Apply them, and it will bo instructive to compare results." "I cannot conceive anything which will cover the facts," I answered. "It will be clear enough to you soon," he said in an offhand way. "I think that there is nothing else of importance here, but I will look." He whipped out his lens and a tape measure and hurried about tho room on his knees, measuring, comparing, examining, with his long, thin nose only a few inches from the planks and his beady eyes gleaming and deep set like those of a bird. So swift, silent and furtive were his movements, like those of a trained bloodhound picking out a scent, that I could not but think what a terrible criminal he would have made had he turned his energy and sagacity against the law instead of exerting them in its defense. As ho hunted about ho kept muttering to himself, and finally ho broke out into a loud crow of delight. "We are certainly in luck," said he. "We ought to havo very little trouble now. No. 1 has had tho misfortune to tread in the creosote. You can see the outline of the edge of his small foot here at tho side of this evil smelling mess. The carboy has been cracked, you see, and the stud' lias leaked out." "What then?" I asked. "Why, we have got him, that's all," said lie. "I know a dog that would follow that scent to tho world's end. If a pack can track a trailed herring across a shire, how far can a specially trained hound follow so pungent a smell as this? It sounds like a sum in the rule of three. The answer should give us the— Hut. hajt'o! Here are the accredited representatives of the law.

Heavy steps and the clamor of loud voices were audible from below, and the hall door shut wi'h aloud crash "I' -fore tiiey come, said Holmes, "justput your hand here on. this poor fellow's arm and hero on his g. What do you fc.'l:" "The muscles are as hard as a board." I answered. "Quite so. They are in a stale of extreme contraction, far exceeding the usual rigor mortis. Coupled with this distortion of the face, this Hippocralie smile, or 'risn.-. sardonieus.' as the old writers called it, what conclusion would it suggest to your mind?" "Death from some powerful vegetable .alkaloid, I answered. "Some strychninelike substance which would produce tetanus. "That was tho idea which occurred to me the instant I saw tho drawn muscles cf the face. On getting into the room I at once looked for tho means by which the poison had entered tho system. As you saw, I discovered a thorn which had been driven or shot with no great force into the seal]). You observe that the part st^iek was that which would bo turned toward the hole in the ceiling if the man were erect in his chair. Now, examine this thorn."

I took it up gingerly and held it in the I light of the lantern. It was long, sharp and black, with a glazed look near the point, as though some gummy substance had dried upon it. The blunt end had been trimmed and rounded oil with a knife. "Is that an English thorn?" ho asked "No, it certainly is not." ,.

"With all these data you should be able I to draw some just inference. Hut hero are the regulars, so the auxiliary forces n.ay beat retreat.

As he spoke the steps, which had been I coming nearer, sounded loudly on the passage, and a very stout, portly man in I a gray suit, strode heavily into the room.

He was red faced, burly and plethoric, with a pair of very small twinkling eyes, which looked ko-.uily out from between swollen and pufi'y pouches. lie was close-

ly followed by an inspector in uniform and by tho still palpitating Thaddeus I Sholto. "Here's a business." ho cried in a nuifI fled, hni,y voice. "Here's a pretty busi-lie.-s Hut who are all these? Why, tho house seems to be as full as a rabbit war ron. 'I think you must recollect me, Mr.

Athelney Jones," said Holmes quietly. I "Why, of course I do," he wheezed. I I "It's Mr. Sherlock Holmes, the theorist. I

Remember you? I'll never forget how you lectured us all on causes and inferenios and effects in the Hi.ihopgacc jewel case It's true you set us on tho right track, but you'll own now that it was more by good luck than good guidance." "It was a piece of very simple reasonbig." "Oh, come, now, come. Never bo ashamed to own up. But what is all this? Had business, bad business! Stern fact here—no room for theories How lucky that I happened to be out at Norwood over another case! I was at the station when a message arrived. What d'you think the man died ofi1" "Oh, this is hardly a case for me to theorize over," said Holmes dryly. "No, no. Still we can't deny that you hit tho nail on tho head sometimes. Dear niol Door locked, I understand. Jewels worth half a million missing. How was tho window?" "Fastened, but thero aro steps on tho sill." "Well, well, if it was fastened, the steps could havo nothing to do with the matter. That's common sense. Man might havo died in a fit, but then tho jewels aro missing. Ha, I havo a theory! These flashes come upon me at times. Just step outside, sergeant, and you. Mr. Sholto. Your friend can remain. What do you think of this, Holmes? Sholto was, on his own confession, with his brother last night. The brother died in a fit, on which Sholto walked oil with tho treasure. How's that?" "On which the dead man very considerately got up and locked tho door on tho inside." "Huml There's a flaw thero. Let us apply common sense to tho matter. This Thaddeus Sholto was with his brother. There was a quarrel. So much wo know. The brother is dead, and tho jewels are gone. So much also we know. No one saw the brother from tho time Thaddeus left him. His bed has not been slept in. Thaddeus is evidently in a most disturbed state of mind. His appearance is—well, not attractivo. You see that I am weaving my web round Thaddeus. Tho net bogins to close upon him."

You aro not quite in possession of tho facts yet," said Holmes. "This splinter of wood, which I havo every reason to believe to bo poisoned, was in the man's

scaip where you still see the marK Tins card, inscribed as you see it, was on tiie table, and beside it lay this rather curious stone headed instrument. How does ail that fit into your theory?" "Confirms it in every respect," said the fat detective pompously. "House is full of Indian curiosities Thaddeus brought this up, and if this splinter be poisonous Thaddeus may as well havo made the murderous use of it as any other man The card is some hocus pocus—a blind as like as not. The only question is, Howdiil ho depart? Ah, of course, here is a hole in tiie roof." With great activity, considering his bulk, he sprang up tho steps and squeezed through into the garret, and immediately afterward we heard his exulting voice proclaiming that he had found the trapdoor. "He can find something," remarked Holmes, shrugging his shoulders. "He has occasional glimmerings of reason. 11 n'y a pas des sots si incommodes que oeux qui out de l'esprit!" "You see," said Athelney Jones, reappearing down tho steps again. "Facts are better than mere theories, after all. My view of the case in confirmed. Thero is a trapdoor communicating with tho roof, and it is partly open." "It was I who opened it." "Oh, indeed. Y'ou did notice it, then?" Ho seemed a little crestfallen at the discovery. "Well, whoever noticed it, it shows how our gentleman got away. Inspector." "•Yes, sir," from the passago. "Ask Air. Sholto io step this way. Mr. Sholto, it is my duty to inform you that anything which you may say will be used against you. I arrest you in the queen's name as being concerned in tho death of your brother." "There, now! Didn't I tell you?" cried the poor little man, throwing out his hands and looking from one to the other of us "Don't trouble yourself about it, Mr. Sholto," said 1 Iolmes. "I think that I can engage to clear you of the charge. "Don promise too much, Mr. Theorise. Don't promise too much," snapped the detective "You may find it a harder maticr than you think." "Not only will 1 clear him, Mr. Jones, but I wilt make you a free present of tno name and description of one of tho two people who were in this room last night. His name, I have every reason to believe, is Jonathan Small. Ho is a

cated man. small, .active, with his right le._ off and wearing a wooden stump which is worn away upon the inner side. His lel'c boot has a coarse, square toed sob?, with an iron band round the heel, lie is a middle aged man, much sunburned, and has been a convict. These few indications may be of some assistance to you, coupled with tho fact, that there is a good deal of skin missing from the palm of his hand. The other man"— "Ah, tho other man?" asked Athelney Jones in a sneering voice, but impressed none the less, as I could easily ^ee, by tho precision of tho other's manner. "Is a rather curious person," said Sherlock Holmes, turning upon his heel. "I hope before very long to bo able to introduce you to a pair of them. A word with you, Watson."

He led me out to the head of the stairs. "This unexpected occurrence," ho said, "has caused us rather to lose sight of tho original purpose of our journey." "1 havo just been thinking so," I an swered. "It is not ri.-ht that Miss Morstan should remain in £f:s stricken house." "No you must escort her home. She lives with Mrs. Cecil Forrester, in Lower Camborwell, so it is not very far. I will wait for you here if you will drive out again, or perhaps you are too timl?" "By no means. I don't think I could rest until I know more of this fantastic business I have seen something of tho

rough siae of life, but I give you my word that this quick succession of strange surprises tonight has shaken my nerve completely. I should like, however, to see the matter through will) you, now that 1 have got so far.'' 4 sence will be of great service iiMV. red.

"It is 1 now. I ought to be back before 3 if I can get a fresh horse." "And I," said Holmes, "shall see what I can learn from Mrs. Bern stone and from the Indian servant, who, Mr. Thaddeus tells me, sleeps in the next garret. Tla I shall study the great Jones'methods and listen to his not too delicate sarcasms. 'Wir siml gewohnt, dass die menschen verhochnen, was sie nicht verstehen.' Goethe is always pithy."

CHAPTER VII.

The police had brought a cab with them, and in this I escorted Miss Morstan back to her homo. After the angelic fashion of women she had borne trouble with a calm face as long as there was some one weaker than herself to support, and I had found lier bright and placid by the side of tho frightened housekeeper. In tho cab, however, she first turned faint and then burst into a passion of wcejiing, so sorely had 6he been tried by tho adventures of tho night. She has told mo since that slio thought nie cold and distant upon that journey. She little guessed the struggle within my breast or the effort of self restraint which held me back. My sympathies and my love went out to her, even as my hand had in the garden. I felt that years of tho conventionalities of lifo could not teach me to know her sweet, bravo naturo as had this ono day of strange experiences. Yet thero were two thoughts which sealed the words of affection upon my lips. She was weak and helpless, shaken in mind and nervo. It was to take her at a disadvantage to obtrude love upon her at such a timo. Worse still, she was rich. If Holmes' researches were successful, she would be an heiress. Was it fair, was it honorable, that a half pay surgeon should take such advantage of an intimacy which ehanco had brought about? Might she not look upon me as a mere vulgar fortune seeker? I could not bear to risk that such a thought should cross her mind. This Agra treasure intervened liko an impasstdilo b.'irner between us.
