Conan Doyle:

We liiicl during this time boon following the guidance of Toby clown the half rural, villa lined roads which lead to the metropolis. Now, however, wo were beginning to come among continuous streets, where laborers ami dockmen were already astir, and slatternly women woro taking down shutters and brushing doorsteps. At the square topped corner public houses business was just beginning, and rough looking men were emerging, rubbing their sleeves across their beards after their morning wet. Strange dogs sauntered up and stared wonderingly at us as we passed, but our inimitable Toby looked neither to the right nor to the left, but trotted onward with his nose to the ground and an occasional eager whine, which spoke of a hot scent

We had traversed Strenthiun. Brixton, Cam I.-em-ell and now found ourselves in Kennington lane, having borne away through the side streets to the east of the Oval. The men whom we pursued seemed to have taken a curiously zigzag road, with the idea probably of escaping observation. They had never kept to the main road if a parallel side street would servo their turn. At the foot of Kennington lane they had edged away to the left through r.und street and Miles street. Where ho latter turns into Knight's place Toby ceased to advance, but began to run backward and forward with one ear cocked and the other drooping, the very picture of canine indecision. Then he waddled around in circles, looking up to us from time to time, as if to ask for sympathy in his embarrassment. "What the deuce is the matter with the dog?" growled Holmes. ''They surely would not take a cab or go off in a balloon." "l'erhaps they stood here for sonic time,'' I suggested. ''All! it's all right. He's off again," said my companion in a tone of relief.

Lie was indeed off, for after sniffing round again he suddenly mado up his mind and darted away, with an energy and determination such as he had not yet shown. The scent appeared to bo much hotter than before, for he had not even to put his nose on the ground, but tugged at his leash and tried to break into a run. I could set? by the gleam in Ilolmes'eyes that he thought we were nearing the end of our journey.

Our course now ran down Nine Elms until we came to Broderick & Nelson's largo timber yard, just past the White Eagle tavern. Here the dog, frantic with cxciLement, turned down through the sido gate into the inclosure, where the sawyers were already at work. On the dog raced through sawdust and shavings, down an alley, round a passage, between two wood piles, and finally, with a triumphant yelp, sprang upon a large barrel, which stood upon the hand trolley on which it had I been brought. With lolling tongue and blinking eyes Toby stood upon the cask, looking from one to the other of us for some sign of appreciat ion. The staves of the barrel and the wheels of the trolley were smeared with a dark liquid, and the whole air was heavy with the sineil of creohote.

Sherlock Holmes and I. looked blankly at each other, and then burst simultaneously into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

CHAPTER VIII.

'•What nov,-:-'" I asked. "Toby has lost his character for infallibility." "He acted according to his lights," said Holmes, lifting him down from the barrel am! walking him out of the timber yard. "If you consider how much creosote is carted about London in one day, it is no great wonder that our trail should havo been crossed. It is much used now, especially for the seasoning of wood. Poor Toby is not to blame." "We must get on the main scent again, I suppose."

Yes, and fortunately wo havo no distance to go. Evidently what puzzled the dog at the corner of Knight's placo was that there were two different trails running in opposite directions. Wo took tlio wrong one. It only remains to follow the other."

There was no difficulty about this. On leading Toby to the placo where he had committed his fault he cast about in a wide circle and finally dashed olf in a fresh direction. ''We must take enre that ho does not now bring us to the place wlure the creosote barrel came from," I observed. ''I had thought of that, but you notice --that he keeps on the pavement, whereas the barrel passed down the roadway. No •we are on tlio true scent now."

It tended down toward the riverside, running through Belmont placo and Prince's stroct. At the end of Broad street it ran right down to the water's edge, •where there was a email wooden wharf. Toby led us to the very edge of this, and there stood whining looking out on the dark current beyond. "Wo aro out of luck," said Holmes. "They have taken to a boat here." Several small punts and skiffs woro lying about in tho water and on the edge of the wharf. We took Toby round to each in turn, but though ho sniffed earnestly ho made no sign.

Close to tho rude landing stage was a •small brick house, with a wooden placard slung out through tho second window. "Mordecai Smith" was printed across it In large letters, and underneath, "Boats to Hire by tho Hour or Day." A second inscription abovo the door informed us that steam launch was kept, a statement .•which was confirmed by a great pile of ,coko upon the jetty. Sherlock Holmes

looked slowly round, and his face assumed an ominous expression. "This looks bad," said ho. "These fel3 lows aro sharper than 1 expected. They seemed to havo covered their tracks. 'There has, I fear, been preconcerted nian.jurniuonl, burn

Ho was approaching the door of the house when it opened, and a little curly headed lad of (5 came running out, followed by a stoutish, red faced woman with a largo sponge iu her hand. "You come back and be washed, Jack," she shouted. "Como back, you young imp, for if your father comes homo and finds you like that he'll lot us hear of it." "Dear little chap," said Holmes strategically. "What a rosy cheeked young rascal! Now, Jack, is there anything you would like?"

The youth pondered for a moment. "I'd like a shillin," said he. "Nothing you would liko better?" "I'd like

shillin better," tho prodigy

answered after some thought. "Hero you are, then! Catchl A fine child, Mrs. Smith!" "Lor bless you, sir, he is that and forward. He gets a'most too much for me to manage, specially when my man is away days at a time. "Away, is he?" said Holmes in a 'disappointed voice. "I am sorry for that, for I wanted to speak to Mr. Smith." "He's been away since yesterday mornin, sir, and, truth to tell, I'm beginnin to feel frightened about him. But if it was about a boat, sir, maybe I could serve as well." "I wanted to hire his steam launch." "Why, bless you, sir, it is in the steam launch that he has gone. That's what puzzles mo, for I know there ain't more coals in her than would take her to about Woolwich and back. If ho'd been away in the barge, I'd ha' thought notliin, for many a time a job has taken him as far as Gravesend, and then if there was much doin there he might ha' staid over. But what good is a steam launch without coals?"

down the river." "He might, sir, but it weren't his way. Many a time I've heard him call out the prices they charge for a few odd bags. Besides I don't like that wooden legged man, wi' his ugly face and outlandish talk. What did lie want always knockin about hero for?' "A wooden legged man?" said Holmes, with bland surprise. •'Yes, sir, a brown, monkey faced chap that's ea^ed more'n once for my old man It was l.®.n that, roused him up yesternight, and, what's more, my man knew ho was e.oniin, for he had steam up in the launch. I tell you straight, sir, I don't feel easy in my mind about it "But, my dear Holmes, shrugging are frightening yourself about nothing. How could you possibly tell that it was the wooden legged man who came in tho night? I don't quite understand how you can be so sure. "His voice, sir. I knew his voice, which is kind o' thick and foggy. Ho tapped at the winder—about 3 it would bo. "Show a leg, matey,' says he. 'Time tot-urn out guard.' My old man woke up Jim—that's my eldest—and away they went without so much as a word to me. I could hear the wooden leg clackin on tho stones." '•And was this wooden legged man alone?" "Couldn't say, I am suro. I didn't hear no one else." "I am sorry, Mrs. Smith, for I wanted a steam launch, and I havo heard good reports of the Let mo see. What is her name?" "Tho Aurora, sir." "Ah! She's not that old green launch with a yellow line, very broad in tho beam?" "No, indeed! She's as trim a little thing as any on tho river. She's been fresh painted black, with two red streaks.'' "Thanks! I liopo that you will hear soon from .Mr. Smith. I am going down the river, and if I should see anything of

Jones in at tho last moment Ho is not a bad fellow, and I should not liko to do anything which would injure him professionally, but I havo a fancy for working it out myself, now that wo havo gono so far." "Could wo ndvertise, then, asking for information from wharfingers?" "Worse and worsel Our men would know that tho chase was hot at their heels, and they would bo off out of tho country. As it is, they are likely enough to leave, but as long as they think they nro perfectly safe they will be in no hurry. Jones' energy will be of use to us there, for his view of the case is euro to push it self into tho daily press, and tho runaways will think that evory ono is off on tho wrong scent." "What are wo to do, then?" I asked as wo landed near Millbank penitentiary. "Take this hansom, drive home, have Bomo breakfast and get an hour's sleep. It is quite on tho cards that wo may bo nfoot tonight again. Stop at a telegraph offico, cabbyl Wo will keep Toby, for he may be of use to us yet."

We pulled up at the Great Peter street postoflico, and Holmes dispatched his wire. "Whom do you think that is to?" lie asked as we resumed our journey. "I am sure I don't know." "You remember tho Baker street division of tho detective force whom I employed In tho Jefferson Hope case'r" "Well?" said I, laughing. "This is just the case where they might be invaluable. If they fail, I havo other resources, but I shall try them first. That Wiro was to my dirty little lieutenant, Wiggins, and I expect that ho and his gang will bo with us before we havo finished our breakfast."

HBMMi

It was between 8 and 9 o'clock now, and

I was conscious of a strong roaction after the successive excitements of the night. I was limp and weary, befogged in mind and fatigued in body. I had not tho professional enthusiasm which carried my companion on, nor could I look at tlio matter as a moro. nbstranfc intellectual.,

Mrs Smith," said

problem. As tar as tlie death of Bartholomew Sholto wont, I had heard little good of him and could feel no intense antipathy to his murderers. The treasure, however, was a different matter. That, or part of it, belonged rightfully to Miss Morstan. While there, was a clianco of recovering it I was ready to devote my life to the one object. True, if I found it, it would probably put her forever beyond my reach. Yet it would be a petty and selfish love which would be influenced by such a thought as that. If Holmes could work to find the criminals, I had a tenfold stronger reason to urge me on to find tjie treasure.

A bath in Baker street and a complete change freshened me up wonderfully. When I came down to our room, I found the breakfast laid and Ilolmes pouring out the coffee. "Here it is," said he, laughing and pointing to an open newspaper. ''Tho energetic Jones and the ubiquitous reporter have fixed it up between them. But you have had enough of the case. Better have your ham and eggs first."

I took the paper from him and read the short notice, which was headed, "Mysterious Business at Upper Norwood." "About 12 o'clock last night," said The Standard, "Mr. Bartholomew Sholto of Pondichorry Lodge, Upper Norwood, was found dead in his room under circumstances which point to foul play. As far as we can learn, no actual traces of violence were found upon Mr. Sholto's person, but a valuable collection of Indian gems which the deceased gentleman had inherited from his father has been carried off. Tho discovery was first mado by Mr. Sherlock Holmes and I)r. Watson, who had called at the house with Mr. Thaddeus Sholto, brother of the deceased. By a singular piece of good fortuno Mr. Athel-

"He might have bought somo at a wharf ney Jones, the well known member of tho detective police force, happened to be at tlie Norwood police station and was on the ground within an hour of the first alarm.

His trained and experienced faculties were at once directed toward the detection of the criminals, with tlie gratifying result lat the brother, Thaddeus Sholto, has altcady been arrested, together with tho housekeeper, Mrs. Bernstone, an Indian butler named Lai Rao and a porter or gatekeeper named McMurdo. It is quite certain that the thief or thieves were well acquainted with the house, for Mr. Jones' well known technical knowledge and his powers of minute observation have enabled him to prove conclusively that the miscreants could not have entered by tho door

There is a boatman hero with a wherry, Watson We shall take it and cross tho river." "The main tiling with people of that sort," said Holmes as we sat in the sheets of tho wherry, "is never to let them think I that their information can lie of thoslightI est importance to you. If you do, they will instantly shut up liko an oyster. If you listen to them under protest, as it were, you aro very likely to get what you want." I "Our course now seems pretty clear, said I. "What would you do, then?" "I would engage a launch aud go down tho track of the Aurora." "My dear fellow, it would bo a colossal task. She may have touched at any wharf on cither side of the stream between hero and Greenwich. Below the bridge there is a perfect labyrinth of landing places for miles. It would tako you days and days to exhaust them if you set about it alone." "Employ tho police, then." "No. I shall probably call Athelnoy

which communicated with that in which the body was found. This fact, which has been very clearly mado out, proves conclusively that it was no mere haphazard burglary. Tho prompt and energetic action of the officers of the law shows tho great advantage of the presence on such occasions of a single vigorous and masterful mind. We cannot but think that it supplies an argument to those who wouid wish to see our detectives more decentralized, and so brought into closer and more effective touch with the cases which It is their duty to investigate." "Isn't it gorgeous?" said Holmes, grinning over his coffeo cup. "What do you think of it?" "I think that wo have had a close shave ourselves of being arrested for tho crime." "So do I. I wouldn't answer for our safety now if he should happen to have another of his attacks of energy."

At this moment there was a loud ring at tho bell, .and I could hear Mrs. Hudson, our landlady, raising her voice in a wail of expostulation and dismay. "By heaven, Holmes," I said, half rising, "I belicvo that they aro really after us!" "No it is not quito so bad as that. It is tho unofficial force—the Baker street ir-

As ho spoke there came a swift pattering of naked feet upon the stairs, a clatier of high voices, and in rushed a dozen dirty and ragged little street arabs. There was some show of discipline among them, dospito their tumultuous entry, for they instantly drew up in line and stood facing us with expectant faces. One of their I number, taller and older than the others, stood forward with an air of lounging suporiority which was very funny in such a disreputable little scarecrow. "Got your message, sir," said he, "and brought 'em on sharp. Three bob and a tanner for tickets." "Here you are," said Holmes, producing some silver. "In future they can report to you, Wiggins, and you to mo. cannot have tlio house invaded in this way. However, it is just as well that you should all hear the instructions. I want to find tho whereabouts of a st ani launch called the Aurora—owner, Mordecai Smith—black, with two red strealj® funnel black, with a white band. She is down the river somewhere. I want one boy to beat Mordecai Smith's landing stage, opposite Millbank, to say if tho boat conies back. You must divide it out among yourselves and do both banks thoroughly. Let me know tho moment you havo news. Is that all clear?" "Yes, guv'nor," said Wiggins. "The old scalo of pay and a guinea to the boy who finds tho boat. Hero's a day in advance. Now, off you go!" Ho handed them a shilling each, and away they buzzed down tho stairs, and I saw them a moment later streaming down tho street. "If the launch is abovo water, they will find her,"said Holmes as ho rosefr^n tho table and lit his pipe. "They can go everywhere, see everything, overhear every ono. I expect to hear before evening that they havo spotted her. In tho meanwhile we can do nothing but await results. We cannot pick up the broken trail until we find either tho Aurora or Mr. Mordecai Smith." [TO BE CONTINUED.]

News Items. ALLIANCE, O., March 2 —The -whole police force scoured the city Thursday night for parties who shot and attempted to rob Rev. Martens while he wTas driving through the city early in the evening. About 1 o'clock Friday morning Officers Jones and Ogline attempted to arrest a stranger as he was about to board a freight train. The fellow ran, and after chasing him two miles the officers overtook him. When cornered he showed fight, aud, pulling a 44-cali-ber revolver, began firing. Officer Jones knocked up his arm and the shots went into the air. Both officers returned the fire, and the desperate man fell, with bullets in his abdomen and thigh.

The wounded man was brought to town and physicians attended him. His wounds are serious, and he may die. The fellow ref**es to give any name or address, but claims he was en route to Beaver Falls and had nothing to do with the robbery. Rev. Martens, however, identifier him Friday as one of the highwaymen. Tlie police have not been alile to find his partner.
