PART FOUR. "There was no wind that night, I understand." said Holmes. 'None; but very heavy rain." "In that case the overcoat was not

blown against the tuf ze-bushes, but placed there." -- "You fill me with -interest I perceive that the ground has been trampled'up a good deal. No doubt many feet . have been .- her- siace Monday night.1; . . "A piece of matting "has been laid here at rthe, side, and we have all stood upon that."1 "Excellent." . "Excellent." ' "In this bag I have one of the boots which Straker fore, one of Fitzroy Simpson's shoes, and a cast horseshoe of Silver Blaze.." "My dear ' Inspector, you 'surpass yourself!" Holmes took the bag, and descending into the hollow, he pushed the matting" into a ; more central position. Then stretching himself upon his face andleaning his-chin upon . his hands, he made a careful study of the trampled mud in front of him. "Hullo!" said he, suddenly. "What'o this?" -It was a wax vesta half burned which was so coated with mud that It looked at first like a little chip of wood. "I cannot think how I came to overlook it," said the Inspector, with, an expression of annoyance. "It was invisible, buried in the mud. I only saw it because I was looking for it." ' -: "What! you expected to find it?" "I thought it not unlikely." r- . He took the boots from. the bag, and compared the impressions of each of ; them with the. marks, upon the ground.

Then he clambered up to the rim of

the' hollow, and crawled about among the- ferns and bushes. "I am afraid that there are no more tracks," said the Inspector. "I have examined the ground very carefully for a hundred yards in each direction. ' "Indeed!" said Holmes, rising. "I

should not have the impertinence to do it-again after what you say. But I

; should like to take a little walk over the moor before it grows dark, that I may know my ground tomorrow, and I think that I shall put this horseshoe into my rocket for' luck." ColomS BoSSi'vWho .fcad shown some Mgns of JmpatieMieLat my companion's quiet and systematic method of work, glanced at his watch. "I wish you would come back with me. Inspector," paid he. "There are several points on which I should like your advice and especially as to whether we do not owe it to ttie public to remove our horse's name from the entries for the Cup. "Certainly not," cried Holmes, with decison. "I should let the name stand." The Colonel bowed. ' "I am very glad to have had your opinion, sir," said ' he. ."You will find us at poor StrakerV house "When ' you"' have fin-

justi-

ished your walk, and we can drive together into Tavistock." He turned back with the Inspector, while Holmes and I walked slowly across the moor. Thy sun was begin

ning to sink behind the stable of Mapleton, and the long, sloping plain in front of us was tinged with gold, deepening into. rich, ruddy browns where the faded ferns and brambles caught the evening light. ' But 'the glories of the landscape were all wastfed upon

my companion, who was sunk in the deepest thought. . 1 'It's this way, Watson," said he at last. "We will leave the question of who killed John Straker for the instant and confine ourselves to finding out what has become of the horse. Now supposing that he broke away during or after the tragedy, where could he have gone, to? The horse is a very gregarious creature. " If left to himself his instincts-would have been either to return to King's Pyland or go over to Mapleton. Why should he run wild upon the moor? He would surely have been seen by now. And why should gypsies kidnap him? These people always clear out when they hear of trouble, for they do not wish to be pestered by the police. They could not hope to sell such a horse. They would run a great risk and gain nothing by taking him. Surely that is clear. 'Where is he, then?" "I have already said that he must have gone to King's Pyland or to Mapleton. He is not at King's Pyland. Therefor he is a Mapleton. Iet us take that as a working hypothesis and see what it leads us to. This part of the moor, as the Inspector remarwed, is very hard and dry. But it falls away toward Mapleton, and you can see from here that there is a long hollow over younder, which must have been very wet on Monday night. If our supposition is correct, then the

horse must have crossed that and there is the point where we should look for his tacks.

We had been walking briskly during this conversation, and afew more minutes brought us to the hollow in question. At Holme's request I walked down the bank to the right, and hs to the left, but Ihad, not taken fifty paces before I heard him shout, and saw him waving his band to me. The track of a horse was plainly outlined in the soft earth in front of him, and the shoo which he took from his pocket exactly fitted the impression. 'See the value of imagination," said Holmes. "It is the one quality which Gregory lacks. We imagined what, might have happened, acted upon the

supposition, and find ourselves

fied. Let us proceed." We crossed the marshy bottom and passed over a quarter of a mile of dry, hard turf. Again the ground sloped, and again we came on the tracks. Then we lost them for half a mile, but only to pick them up once more quite close to Mapleton. It was Holmes who saw them firsTT and he stood pointing with a look of triumph

upon his face. A man's track was visible beside the horse's. 'The horse was alone before,'' I cried. "Quite eo. It was alone before. Hullo, what is this?" The double track turned sharp off and took the direction of King's Pyland. Holmes whistled, and we both

followed along after it. His eyes were on the trail, but I happened to look a little to one side, and saw to my sur prise the same tracks coming back again in the opposite direction. "One for you, Watson." said Holmes, when I pointed it out. "You have saved us a long walk, which would have brought us back on our own traces. Let us follow the return track."

We had not to go far. It ended at the paving asphalt which led up to the gates 9t the Mapleton stables. As we approached a groom ran out from them. 'We don't want any loiterers about here," said he. "I only wished to ask a question," said Holmes, with his finger and thumb in his waistcoat pocket. "Should I be too early to see your master, Mr. Silas Brown, if I were to call at five o'clock tomorrow morning?" 'Bless you. sir, if any one is abou he will be. for he is always the first stirring. But here he is, sir, to answer your questions for himself. No. sir, no it is as much as my place is worth to let him see me touch your money. Afterfards, if you like." As Sherlock Holmes replaced the half-crown which he had drawn from his pocket, a fierce-looking elderly man strode out from the gate with a hunting-crop swinging in his hand.

"What's this, Dawson! be cried. "No gossiping! Go about your busi-

nees! And you, what the devil do j you want here?" "Ten minutes talk with you my i

good sir," said Holmes in the sweetest of voices. "I've no time to talk to every gadabout. We want no strangers here.

Be off, or you may find a dog at your heels." - Holmes leaned forward and whispered something in the trainer's ear. He started violently and flushed to the temples. "It's a lie!" he shouted, "an infernal lie!" . "Very good. Shall we argue about It here in . public or talk it over in' your parloi ?" "Oh, come in if you wish to."

Holmes smiled. "I shall not keep you more than a few minutes, Watson," said he. "Now, Mr. Bsown, I am quite at your disposal." It waa twenty minutes and the reds had all faded into grays before Holmes and the trainer re-appeared. Never had I seen such a change as had been brought about in Silas Brown, in that short time. His face wa6 ashy pale, beads of perspiration shone upon his brow, and his hands shook until the hunting-cap wagged like a branch in the wind. His bullying, overbearing manner was all gone too, and he cringed along at my companion's side like a dog with its mas

ter.

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared

shampoos contain too much alkali. ! This dries the scalp, makes the hair j brittle, and ruins it. The beat thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which j is pure and grcaseless, and is better ! than anything else you can use. j

One or two teaspoonsful of mulsified will cleanse the . hair and scalp thoroughly.. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it: in. It makes an abundance at rich, -creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle- ot dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive , oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, It's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.
