jiv was nearly a OCIOCK wnen wo ruuciicu Mrs. Cccil Forrester's. The servants had retired hours ago, but Mrs. Forrester had been so interested by the strange message "'••which Miss Morstan had received that she sat np in the hope of her return. She opened the door herself, a middle aged, graceful woman, and it gave me joy to «see how tenderly her arm stole round the other's waist and how motherly was the voice in which she greeted her. Sho was clearly no mere paid dependent, but an I honored friend. I was introduced, and

Mrs. Forrester earnestly begged me to step in and to tell her our adventures. I explained, however, the importance of my errand and promised faithfully to call and report any progress which we might mako with the case. As wo drove away I stole a glance back, and I still seem to see that little group on the step, tho two graceful, clinging ligures, the half open door, tho hall liirht shining through stained glass, the barometer and the bright stair rods. .It was soothing to catch even that passing glimpse of a tranquil English home in the midst of the wild, dark business which had absorbed us.

And the more I thought of what had ••happened tl wilder and darker it grew. I reviewed tho whole extraordinary sequence of events as I rattled on through the silent nislit streets. There was the original problem. That at least was pretty clear now. The death of Captain Morgtan, the sending of the pearls, the advertisement, the letter—we had had light upon all those events. They had only led us, however to a deeper and far moro tragic mystery. The Indian treasure, the curious plan found among .® retail's baggage, the strange scene at Major Sholto's death, the rediscovery of the treasure, immediately followed by the murder of the discoverer, the very singular accompaniments to the crime, tho footsteps, the remarkable weapons, the words upon the card, corresponding with those upon Captain Morstan's chart—here was indeed a labyrinth in which a man loss singularly endowed than my fellow lodger might well despair of ever finding the clew.

Pinch in lane was a row of shabby two storied brick houses in the lower quarter of Lanibetl. I had to knock for some time at No. 3 before I could make any impression. At last, however, there was a glint of a candle behind the blind, and a face looked out at the upper window. "Go on, you drunken vagabond," said tlie face. If you kick up any more row, I'll open the kennels and let out 43 dogs upon you." '•If you'll let one out, it's just what I have come for," said I. "Go on!" yelled tho voice. "So help me gracious, I have a wiper in this bag, and I'll drop it on your 'cad if you don't hook it." "But I want a dog," I cried. "I won't be argued with!" shouted Mr. Sherman. "Now, stand clear, for when I say 'three' down goes the wiper." "Mr. Sherlock Holmes," I began, but the words had a most magical effect, for the window instantly slammed down, and within a minute the door was unbarred and open. Mr. Sherman was a lanky, lean old man, with stooping shoulders, a stringy neck and blue tinted glasses. "A friend of Mr. Sherlock is always welcome," said ho. "Step in, sir. Keep clear of the badger, for he bites. Ah, naughty, naughty, would you take a nip at the gent Ionian?" This to a stoat, which thrust its wicked head and red eyes between the bars of its cage. "Don't mind that, sir. If's only a slow worm. It hain't got no fangs, so I gives it the run o' the room, for it keeps the beetles down. You must not mind my bein just a little short wi' you at first, for I'm guyed at by tho children, and there's many a one just comes down this lane to knock me up. What was it that Mr. Sherlock Holmes Wanted, sir?'' "Ho wanted a dog of yours." "Ah! that would be Toby." "Yes, Toby was the name." "Toby lives at No. 7, on the left here."

Ho moved slowly forward with his can

dle among the queer animal family which lie had gathered round him. In tho uncertain, shadowy light I could see dimly that there were glancing, glimmering eyes pooping down at us from every cranny and corner. Kven the rafters above our heads •were lined by solemn fowls, who lazily -shifted their weight from one leg to the other us our voices disturbed their slumbers.

Tofcy proved to bo an ugly, long haired, lop cared creature, half spaniel and half lurcher, brown and white in color, with a very clumsy, waddling gait. It accepted after some hesitation a lump of sugar which tho naturalist handed to me, and having thus sealed an alliance it followed me to tho cab and made no difficulties about accompanying me. It had just struck 3 on the palace clock when I found myself back once moro at Pondicherry Lodge. The ex-prizefighter McMurdo had, I found, been arrested as an accessory, and both ho and Mr. SJiolto had been marched off to the station. Two constables guarded the narrow fito, but they allowed me to pass with the dog on my mentioning tho detective's name.

Holmes was standing on tho doorstep, with his hands in his pockets, smoking fcis pipo. ''Ah, you have him therof" said ho. "Good dog, then. Athelney Jones has gone. Wo have had an immenso display mt energy since you left. Ho has arrested *pt only friend Thaddeus, but tho gatoJoeeper, the housekeeper and the Indian jervant. Wo have tho place to ourselves tut for a sergeant up stairs. Leavo tho iog hero and como up."

We tied Toby to tho hall table and reas«ended tho stairs. Tho room was as wo liad left it, save that a sheet had been jfpaped over tho central figure. A weary Jfcoking police sergeant reclined in tho corwmr. "Tjnnil nin vnnr bif.llsevo. sergeant."

saiu my companion. "Now tie this bit of card round my n-jek, sc as to hang it in front of mo. Thank Now I must kick off my boots -11 tockings. Just you carry them uov 't.h you, ''.'nlson. I am going to ,o .1 L.ao .limbing. And dip my handkerchief into th^ creosote. That will do. Now com.: up into tlie garret with me for a iik

We clambered up th ~i the hole. Ilolmes turned his lighc unci more upon the footsteps in the dust. "I wish you particularly to notice these footmarks," ho said. "Do you observe anything noteworthy about them?" "They belong," I said, "to a cliihl or a 6inall woman." "Apart from their size, though, is there nothing else?" "They appear to be much as other footmarks." "Not at all. Look here. This is the print of a right foot in the dust. Now I make one Willi my naked foot beside it. What is the chief difference?" "Your toes are cramped together. The other print has each toe distinctly divided." "Quite so. That is the point. Bear that In mind. Now, would you kindly step over to that llap window and smell tho edge of the woodwork? I shull stay over here, as I have this handkerchief in my hand."

I did as ho directed and was instantly conscious of a strong tarry smell. "That is where he put his foot in getting out. If you can trace him, I should think Toby will have no difficulty. Now run down stairs, loose the dog and look out for Bloiulln."

By the time that I got out into the grounds Sherlock Holmes was 011 the roof, and 1 could see him like an enormous glowworm crawling very slowly along tho ridge. I lost sight of him behind a stack of chimneys, but he presently reappeared and then vanished once moro upon the opposite side. When I made my way round there, I found him seated at one of the corner oaves. "That you, Watson?" he cried. "Yes." "This is the placo. What is that black thing down then'?" "A water barrel." "Top on it?" "Yes "No sign of a ladder?" "No." "Confound the fellow! breakneck place. I ought come down where I10 could climb up water pipo feels pretty firm, liert anyhow."

It's a most to bo able to The goes

There was a scuffling of the feet, and the lantern began to como steauuy uown tlie side of the wall. Then with a light spring he came on to the barrel and from there to the earth. "It was easy to follow him," I10 said, drawing on his stockings and boots. "Tiles were loosened tho whole way along, and In his hurry ho had dropped this. It conlirms my diagnosis, as you doctors express it."

Tho object which he held up to ino was a small pocket, or pouch, woven out of colored grasses and with a few tawdry beads strung round it. I11 shape and size it was not unlike a cigaretto case. Inside were half a dozen spines of dark wood, sharp at one end and rounded at the other, like that which had struck Bartholomew Sholto. "Tlioy are hellish things," said he. "Look out that you don't prick yourself. I'm delighted to have them, for tho chances are that tliey are all ho has. Thero !s the less fear of you or me finding ono in our skin before long. I would sooner face aiu .jl:i.i bullet myself. Are you game for a six mile trudge, Watson?" "Certainly!" I answered. "Your leg will stand it?" "Oh, yes!" "Here you are, doggy! Good old Toby! Smell it, Toby, smell it!" He pushed the creosote handkerchief under tho dog's nose, while tho creature stood with its fluffy legs separated and with a most comical cock to its head, like a connoisseur sniffing the bouquet of a famous vintage. Holmes then threw the handkerchief to a distance, fastened a stout cord to the mongrel's collar and led him to the foot of tho water barrel. Tho creature Instantly broke into a succession of high, tremulous yelps, and with his noso on the ground and his tail in the air pattered off upon the trail at a paco which strained his leash and kept up at the top of our siieed.

The east had been gradually whitening, and we could now see some distance in the cold gray light. The square, massive house, with its black, empty windows and high, bare walls, towered up sad and forlorn behind us. Our course led right across the grounds, in and out among tho trendies and pits with which they were scarred and intersected. The whole place, with its scattered dirt heaps and ill grown shrubs, had a blighted, ill omened look which harmonized with the black tragedy which hung over it.

O11 reaching the boundary wall Toby ran along, whining eagerly, underneath its shadow and stopped linally in a corner screened by a young beech. Where tho two walls joined several bricks had been

loosened, and the crevices left were worn down and reminded upon tho lower side, as though tlv?y had frequently been used as a ladder. Holmes clambered up, and taking the dog from me I10 dropped it over upon the other side. "There's tho print of wooden leg's hand," he remarked as I mounted up boside him. "You seo the slight smudge of blood upon tho whito plaster. What a lucky thing it is that wo have had no vory heavy rain since yesterday! Tho scent will 110 upon tho road in spito of their eight and twenty hours' start."

I confess that I had my doubts myself when I reflected upo« tho great traffic which had passed along tho London road 111 the interval. My fears were soon appeased, however. Toby never hesitated or swerved, but waddled on in his peculiar rolling fashion. Clearly tho pungent smell of tho creosote roso high above all other contending scents. "Do not imagine," said Holmes, "that I depend for my success in this case upon the mere chance of ono of these follows having put his foot in the chemical., I have knowledge now which would enabjo me to trace them in many different ways. This, however, is tho readiest, and sinco fortune has put it into our hands I should be culpable if I neglected it. It has, however, prevented tho case from becoming the pretty little intellectual problem which it at ono time promised to bo. Thero might have been some credit to bo gained out of it but for this too palpablo clew." "There is credit and to spare," said I. "I assure you, Holmes, that I marvel at tho means by which you obtain your results in this caso even more than I did in the Jefferson Hopo murder. Tho thing seems to me to bo deeper and moro inexplicable. How, for example, could you describe with such confidenco tho wooden legged man?" "Pshaw, my dear bov. jt was simnlicitv

itself! I don't wish to De tneatricai. it is all patent and aboveboard. Two officers who are in command of a convict guard learn an important secret as to buried treasure. A map is drawn for them by an Englishman named Jonathan Small. You remember that we saw the name upon the chart in Captain Mor stall's possession. He had signed it in behalf of himself and his associates—the sign of the four, as he somewhat dramatically called it. Aided by this chart the officers or one of them gets the treasure and brings it to England, leaving, we will suppose, some condition under which he received it unfulfilled. Now, then, why did not Jonathan Small get the treasure himself? The answer is obvious. Tho chart is dated at a time when Morstan was brought into close association with convicts. Jonathan Small did not get the treasure because he and his associates were themselves convicts and could not get away.'' "But this is mere speculation," said I. "It is more than that. It is the only hypothesis which covers the facts. Let us see how it fits in with the sequel. Major Sholto remains at peace for some years, happy in the possession of his treasure. Then he receives a letter from India which gives him a great fright. What was that?" "A letter to say that the men whom he had wronged had been set free." "Or had escaped. That is much more likely, for he would have known what their term of imprisonment was. It would not have been a surprise to him What does I10 do then? He guards himself against a wooden legged man—a white man, mark you—for he mistakes a white tradesman for him, and actually fires a pistol at him. Now, only one white man's name is on the chart. The others are Hindoos or Mohammedans. There is no other whito man. Therefore we may say with confidence that the wooden legged man is identical with Jonathan Small. Does the reasoning strike you as being fault} "No it is clear and concise." "Well, now, let us put ourselves in tho place of Jonathan Small. Let us look at it from his point of view. Ho comes to England with tho double idea of regaining what he would consider to be his rights and of having his revenge upon the man who had wronged him. He found out where Sholto lived, and very possibly he established communication with some one inside the house. There is this butler, Lai Rao, whom we have not seen. Mrs. Bernstone gives him far from a good character. Small could not find out, however, where the treasure was hid, for no 0110 ever knew save the major and one faithful servant who had died. Suddenly Small learns that the major is 011 his deathbed. In a frenzy, lest tlie secret of the treasuro die with him, I10 runs the gantlet of the guards, makes his way to the dying man's window and is only deterred from entering by the presence of his two sons. Mad with liate, however, against tho dead man, he enters the room that night, searches his private papers in the hopo of discovering some memorandum relating to tho treasuro and finally leaves a memento of his visit in the short inscription upon the card. Ho had doubtless planned beforehand that should he slay tho major he would leave some such record upon tho body as a sign that it was not a common murder, but from the point of view of tho four associates something in tho nature of an act of justice. Whimsical and bizarre conceits of this kind are common enough in the annals of crime and usually afford valuable indications as to the criminal. Do you follow all this?" "Very clearly." "Now, what could Jonathan Small do? Ho could only continue to keep a secret watch upon tho efforts made to find tho treasure. Possibly he leaves England and only conies back at intervals. Then comes tho discovery of the garret, and ho is instantly informed of it. We again trace tho presence of some confederate in the household. Jonathan, with his wooden leg, is utterly unable to reach the lofty room of Bartholomew Sholto. lie takes with him, however, a very curious associate, who gets over this difficulty, but dips his naked foot into creosote, \vh r,ce come Toby and a six milo limp for a half pay officer with a damaged Achillis tendo." "But it was the associate and not Jonathan who committed the crime." "Quite so, and rather to Jonathan's disgust, to judge by tho way he stamped when he got into the room. Ho boro no grudgo against Bartholomew Sholto and would have preferred it: he could have been simply bound and gagged, lie did not wish to put his head in a halter. There was 110 help for it, howover. Tlie savage in- I stinets of his companion had broken out, and tlie poison had done its work, so Jonatlian Small left his record, lowered tho treasure box to tho ground and followed it himself. That was the train of events as far as I can decipher them. Of course, as I to his personal appearance, he must bo I middle aged and must be sunburned after serving his time in such an oven as tho Andamans. His height is readily calculated from tho length of his stride, and we knew that he was bearded. His hairiness was the one point which impressed itself upon Thaddeus Sholto when he saw him

at the window. I don't know that there is anything elso." "The associate?" "Ah, well, thero is 110 great mystery in that. But you will know all about it soon enough. How sweet the morning air is! See how that ono littlo cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now tho red rim of tho sun pushes itself over tho London cloudbank. It shines on a good many folk, but 011 none, I dare bet, who are on a stranger errand than you and I. How small wo feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in tho presence of the great elemental forces of nature! Are you well up in your Jean Paul?" "Fairly so. I worked back to him through Carlyle." "That was like following the brook to tho parent lake. Ho makos ono curious but profound remark. It is that tho chief proof of man's real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness. It argues, you see, a power of comparison and of appreciation which is in itself a proof of nobility. Thero is much food for thought in Ricliter. You have not a pistol, have you?" "I have my stick." "It is just possible that wo may need something of tl»e sort if we get to their lair. Jonathan I shall leave to you, but if tho otlior turns nasty I shall shoot him dead." Ho took out his revolver as ho spoke, and having loaded two of the chambers ho put it back into the right honil nnnl'Af. of {aniraf: [TO BE CONTINUED.] -4, 1
