The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez By 8IR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE CopyrihL 1921. by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

PART ONE. When I look at the three massive manuscript volumes which contain our work for the year 1894, I confess that it is very difficult for me, out of such a wealth of material ,to select the cases which are most interesting in themselves, and at thelsame time most conducive to a display of those peculiar powers for which my friend was famous. As 1 turn over the pages, I Fee my notes upon the repulsive story of the red leech and the terrible death of Crosby, the banker. Here, also, I find an account of the Addleton tragedy, and the singular contents of the ancient British barrow. The famous JSmith-Mortimer succession case comes also within this period, and so does the tracking and arrest of Huret, the Boulevard assassin an exploit which won for Holmes an autograph letter of thanks from the French President and the Order of the Legion of Honor. Each of these ,would furnish a narra tive, but on the whole, I am of the opinion that none of them unites so many singular points of interest as e episoae or oxiey um r ace..wruoa includes not only the lamentable death of young Willoughby Smith, but also th Khsentienl dfevelonments which the subsequent developments which threw so curious a light upon the causes of the crime. It was a wild tempestuous night, towards the close of No ember. Holmes and I sat, together in silence all the evening, he engaged with a powerful lens deciphering the remains of the original inscription upon a palimpsest, I deep in a treatise upon fuigery. Outside, the wind howled down Baker street, while the rain beat fiercely against the windows. It was strange there, in the very depths of the town, with ten miles of man'3 handiwork on every side of us, to feel I the iron grip of Nature, and to bo conscious that to the huge elemental forces all London was no more than the molehills that dot the fields. I walked to the window, and looked out on the deserted street. The occas ional lamps gleamed on the expanse of muddy road and shining pavementA single cab was splashing its way , irom the Oxford street end "Well, Watson, it's as well we have not to turn out tonight," said Holmes, laying aside hjs lens and rolling up the palimpsest. "I've done enough for one sitting. It is trying work for the eyes. So far as I can make out., it is nothing more exciting than an Abbey's accounts dating from the second half of the fiftenth century. Halloa! halloa! halloa! What's this?" Amid the droning of the wind, there had come the stamping of a horse's j hoofs.and the long grind of a wheel as it rasped against the curb. Tb. cab which I had seen had pulled up at our door. "What can he want"? I ejaculated, as a man stepped out of it. "Want? He wants us. And we. my poor Watson, want overcoats and cravats and goloshes, and every aid that, man ever invented to fight the weather. Wait a bit though. Here is the cab off again! There's hope yet. He'd have kept it if he had wanted us to come. Kun down, my dear lenow, anu 1 open the dOOr, for ail virtuous folk j have been long in bed." when the light of the hall lamp fell .. . . T .j upon our midnight visitor. I had no difficulty in recognizing him. It was young Stanley Hopkins, a promising detective, in whose carreer Holmes had several times shown a very practical interest. "Is he in?" he asked eagerly. "Come up, my dear, sir," said Holmes voice from ahove,. l nope you have no designs upon us sucn a nigni as this." The detective mounted the stairs, and our lamp gleamed upon his shining waterproof. I helped him out of I it, while Holmes knocked a blaze out I of the logs in the grate. ! "Now, my dear Hopkins, draw up ! and warm your toes," said he. "Here's 'a clSai- and.,he doctor has a prescnp- ! which has Drougnt you out in sucn a ! Pa,e " I '-It is- indeed. Mr. Holmes. I've i had a bustling afternoon, I promise i you. Did you see anything of the i Yoxley case in the latest editions? "I've seen nothing later than th j fiftenth century today.'" "Well, it was only a paragraph, and all wrong, at that, so jou have not missed anything. I haven't let the grass grow under my feet. It is down in Kent, seven miles from Chatham, and three from the railway line. I was wired for at three-fifteen, reached Yoxley plate at five, conducted my investigation, was back at Charing Cross by the last train, and straight to you by cab." "Which means, I suppose, that you are not quite clear about the case?" -if means that I can make neither ; head nor tail out of it. So far as 1 no denying that but so far as 1 can see. there's no reason on earth why any one should wish him harm." Holmes lit his cigar and leaned bacc in his chair. "Let's hear about it," said he I've got my facts pretty clear," said Stanley Hopkins. "All I want, tc know no"W is what they all mean. The story,' so far as I can make out, is like this. Some years ago this country house. Yoxley Old Place, was taken by an elderly man, who gave the name of Professor Coram. He was an invalid, keeping his bed half the time, and the other half hobbling round the house with a stick or being pushed about the grounds by .the gardener in a bath-chair. He was well-liked bv MONEY TO LOAN LOANS On Furniture, Pianos, Livestock, Autos, Talking Machines, Etc.

the few neighbors who called upon him. and he had the reputation down there of being a very learned man. His household used to consist of an elderly housekeeper, Mrs. Marker, and of a maid, Susan Tariton. These have been with him since his arrival, and they seem to be women of excellent character. The professor is writing a learned book, and he found it necessary, about a year ago, to engage a secretary. The first two that he tried were not a success, but the third, Mr, Willoughby Smith, a very young man straight from the university, seems to have been just what his employer .wanted. His work consisted in

writing all the morning to the Profes sor's dictation, and be usually spent the evening in hunting up references and and passages which bore upon the next day's work. ThisWiIlanghby Smith has nothing against him, either as a boy at Uppingham, or as a young man at Cambridge. I have seen his testimonials; and from the first he was a recent, quiet, hardworking fellow, with no weak spot in !iim at all. And yet, this is the lad who has met his death this morning in the Professor's study under circumstances which can point only to murder." The wind howled and screamed at the windows. Holmes and I drew closer to the fire, while the young inspector slowly and point by point developed his singular narrative. "If you were to search all England." said he. "I don't suppose you could find a household more self-contained or freer from outside influences. Whole weeks would pass, and not one of them go past the garden gate. The Professor was buried in his work and existed for nothing else. Young Smith knew nobody in the enighborhood and lived very much as his employer did. The two women had nothing to take them from the house. Mortimer, the gardener, who wheels the bath-chair, Is an army pensioner an old Crimean man of excellent character. He does not live in the house, but in a threeroomed cottage at the other end of the garden. Those are the only people that you would find within the grounds of Yoxley Old Place. At the same time, the gate of the garden Is a nun dred yards from the main London to Chatham road. It opens with a latch, and there is nothing to prevent any one from walking in. "Now I will give you the evidence of Susan Tariton, who is the only per son who can say anything positive r.bout the matter. It was in the fore noon, between eleven and twelve. She was engaged at the moment in hang ing some curtains in the upstairs front bedroom. Professor Coram was still in bed, for when the weather is bad he seldom rises before midday. The housekeeper was busied with rome work in the back of the house. Willoughby Smith had been in his bed room, which he uses as a sitting-room, but the maid heard him at that mo ment pass along the passage and de scend to the study immediately below ber. She did not see him, but she says that she could not be mistaken in his quick, firm tread. She did not hear the study door close, but a min ute or so later there was a dreadful cryvin the room below. It was a wjld hoarse scream, to strange and unnatural that it might have come either from a man or a woman. At the same instant there was a heavy thud, which shook the old house, and then all was silence. The maid stood petrified for a moment, and then, recovering her courage, she ran downstairs. The study door was shut and she opened it. Inside, young Mr. Willoughby ; Smith was stretched upon the floor. At rst Fhe could see no injurv, but as she. tried to raise hint she saw that blood was pouring from the undersid of his nck. It was pierced by a very small but deep wound, which has di vided the carotid artery. The instrument with which the injury had been inflicted lay upon the carpet beside bim. It was one of those small sealing j wax knixes to be found on old-fash ioned writing-table, with an ivory handle and a stiff blade. It was p"art f the fittings of the Professor's own desk. I "At first the maid thought that : young Smith was already dead, but on pouring soire vatr from the caratvi over his forehead he opened his eyes for an instant. 'The Professor.' he murmured it wa she.' The maid is prepared to swear that tho-r were the exact words. He tried desperately to say somthing else, and he held his light hand up in the air. Then he fell back dead. "In the meantime the housekeeper had also arrived upon the scene, but she was just too late to catch the young man's dying words. Leaving Susan with the body, she hurried to the Professor's room. He was sitting up in bed horribly agitated, for he had heard enough to convince him that i something terrible had occured. Mrs. I Marker is prepared to swear that the Professor was still in his nighttlothes. and indeed it was impossible for him to dress without the help of Mortimer, whose orders were to come at twelve o'clock. The Professor declares that he heard the distant cry, but that he knows nothing more. He can give no explanation of the young man's last words, 'The Professor it was she," but imagines that they were the outi romo oi ueiinum. He Deiieve-s mat. Willoughby Smith had not an enemy in the world, and can give no reason for the crinr.e. His first net ion was to send Mortimer, the gardener, for the local police. A little later the chief constable sent for me. Nothing was moved before I got there,' cjid strict orders were given that no one should walk upon the paths leading to the rouse. It was a splendid chance of putting your theories into practice. Mr. Sherlock Holmes. There was really nothing wanting." "Except Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said my companion, with a somewhat bitter f-mfle. "Well, let us hear about it. What sort of a job did you make of it?"

The German township consolidated schools at Taylorsville closed Saturday with a big community dinner served by the patrons. The records of the school show an average daily attendance of 98 per cent in all of the rooms In the building, the highest attendance record in the history of the school. The high attendance is believed to be due to the new motor transportation system for the pupils.

Some of the most dangerous plant disease are brought In on transplants. The yellows disease, which is so prevalent tind destructive in the gardens and liflds of Indiana, can be sen row in tlie seedling. Examine the plants before you tay. Don"t take any that have yeilow leaves and be particularly careful to loolt for P'ant whose leaves re yellowish on cne side only. Such plants will also show a dwarfing or stunting of a jtllow side, giving the leaf a one-sided twist The best test Tor the disease is to split stem to see if there are darkbrown stjeaks in the ap tubes fust tirdrr the skin. If you plant such seedlings the plants will die early or neer . form a head. But worse tlianlhivhe s' il will become infested with the A-' ease and for years cabbage plants put in the same place v Ul contract the disease and die. Cultivating and wash--ir.g by rains wiU soo:i spread the!is-. ease all over the field or garden. Watch for cabbage p;nts tht fcf Tc f ollen roots. Look the plants over carefully because on these young r iant the disease wils not be very bad lut it will get worse. This disease Is the club root. It will also stay In the toil. . . i .
