PART SIX. There was little difficulty in entering the grounds, for unrepaired breaches gaped in the old park wall. Making our way among the trees, we were about to enter through the window, when out from a clump of laurel bushes there darted what seemed to be a hideous and distorted childj who threw Itself upon the grass with writhing limbs, and then ran swiftly across the lawn in the darkness. "My God!" I whispered; "did you see it?" Holmes was for the moment as startled as I. His hand closed like a vise upon my wrist in his agitation. Then he broke into a low laugh, and put his lips to my ear. "It is a nice household," he murmured. "That is the baboon." I had forgotten the strange pets which the doctor affected. There was a cheetah, too; perhaps we might find it upon our shoulders at any moment. I confess that I felt easier in my mind when, after following Holmes's example and slipping off my shoes, I found myself inside the bedroom. My companion noislessly closed the shutters, moved the lamp onto the table and cast his eyes round the room. All was as we had seen it in th daytime. Then creeping to me and making a trumphet of his hand, he whispered into my ear again so gently that it was all I could do to distinguish the words: 'The least sound would be fatal to our plans." I nodded to show that I had heard "We must sit without light. He ! would see it through the ventilator." I nodded again. "Do not go asleep; your very lifcj may depend upon it. Have your pis tol ready in case we should need it. I will sit on the side of the bed, and you in that chair." I took- out my revolver and laid it on the corner of the table. Holmes had brought up a long, thin cane, and this he placed on the bed beside him. By it he laid the box Buying Power

Then he turned down the lamp, and we were left in darkness. How shall I ever forget that dreadful vigil? I could not hear a sound, not even the drawing of a breath, and yet I knew that my companion sat open-eyed, within a few feet of me, in the same state of nervous tension in which I was myself. The shutters cut off the least ray of light, and ws waited in absolute darkness. From outside came the occasional cry of a night-bird, and once at our very window a long drawn cat like whine told us that the cheetah was indeed at liberty. Far away we could hear the deep tones of the parish clock, which boomed out every quarter of an hour. How long they seemed, those quarters! Twelve struck, and one and two and three, and still we sat silently waiting for whatever might befall Suddenly there was the moment.arv gleam of a light up in the ventilator, which vanished immediately, but was succeeded by a strong smell of burning oil and heated metal. Some one in the next room had lit a dark lantern. I heard a gentle sound ot movement, and then all was silent once more, though the smell grew stronger. For half an hour I sat with straining ears. Then suddenly another sound became audible a very gentle, soothing sound, like that of a small jet of steam escaping from a kettle. The instant that we heard it. Holmes sprang from the bed. struck a match, and lashed furiously with his cane at the bell-pull. "You see it, Watson?" he yelled. You see it?" But 1 saw nothing. At the moment when Holmes struck the light, I heard a low, clear whistle, but the sudden glare flashing info my weary eyes made it impossible for me to tell what it was at which my friend lashed so savagely. I could, however, see that his face was deadly

pale, and filled with horror and loathing. He had ceased to strike, and was gazing up at the ventilator, when suddenly there broke from the silence of the night the most horrible cry to which I have ever listened. It swelled up louder and louder, a hoarse yell of pain and fear and anger, all i mingled in the one dreadful shriek. ; They say that away down in the village, and even in the distant parson age, that cry raised the sleepers from their beds. It struck cold to our hearts, and I stood gazing at Holmes, i and he at me, until the last echo of it had died away into the silence from which it rose. "What can it mean?" I gasped. "It means that it is all over," Holmes answered. "And perhaps, after all, it is for the best. Take your pistol, and we will enter Dr. Roylott's room." With a grave face he lit the lamp and led the way down the corridor. Twice he struck at the chamber door without any reply from within. Then he turned the handle and entered, I at his heels, with the cocked pistol in my hand. It was a singular sight which met ! our eyes. On the table stood a darklantern, with the shutter half open, throwing a brilliant gleam of light upon the iron safe, the door of whicn was ajar. Beside this table on the wooden chair, sat Dr. Grimesby Roylott, clad in a lang, gray dressinggown, his bare ankles protruding beneath, and his feet thrust into red i Turkish slippers. Across his lap lay ; the short stock with the long lash which we had noticed during the day. : His chin was cocked upward, and his eyes were fixed in a dreadful, rigid j stare at the corner of the ceiling. j Round his brow he had a peculiar yellow band, with brownish speckles, which seemed to be bound tightly around his head. As we entered, he made neither sound nor "motion. "The band! The speckled band!" whispered Holmes. I took a step forward. In an instant his strange headgear began to move and there reared itself from among his hair the squat diamond shaped head and puffed neck of a loathsome serepnt. "It is a swamp adder!" cried Holmes; "the deadliest snake in India. He has died within ten seconds of being bitten. Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit he digs for another. Let us thrust this creature back into its den, and we can then remove Miss Stoner to some place of shelter, and let the county police know what has happened." As he spoke he drew the dog-whip swiftly from the dead man's lap, and throwing the noose around the rep tile's neck, he drew it from its horrid ; perch, and carrying it at arm's length, threw it into the iron safe, which he closed upon it. Such are the true facts of the death of Dr. Grimesby Roylott, of Stoke Moran. It is not necessary that I should prolong a narrative which has alreadv run too great a length, by telling how we broke the sad news to the terrified girl, how we conveyed her by the morning train to the care of her good aunt at Harrow, of how the slow process of official inquiry came to the conclusion that the doctor met his fate while indiscreetly playing with a dangerous pet. The littlu which I had yet to learn of the case was told by Sherlock Holmes as we traveled back the next day. "I had." said he, "come to an entirely erroneous conclusion which shows, my dear Watson, how dangerous It always is to reason from insufficient data. The presence of the gypsies, and the use of the word j 'band,' which was used by the poor j girl, no doubt to explain the appear j ance which she had caught a hurried glimpse of by the light of her

match, were sufficient to put me

on an entirely wrong scent. I can only claim the merit that I instantly reconsidered my position when, however, it became clear to me that whatever danger threatened tin occupant of the room could not come either from the window or the door. My attention was speedily drawn, as I have remarked to you, to this venti lator, and to the bell-rope which nunc; down to the bed. The discovery that this 'was a dummy, and that the bed was clamped to the floor, instantly gave rise to the suspicion that the rope was there as a bridge for something passing through the hole, and coming to th bed. The idea of a snake instantly occurred .to me, and when I coupled it with my knowledge that the doctor was furniched with a supply of creatures from India, I feH ) that I probably was on the right track. The idea of using a form ol , poison which could not possibly be discovered by any chemical test was just such a one as would occur to a clever and ruthless man who had an eastern training. The rapidity with which such a poison would take effect would also, fiom his point of view, be advantageous. It would b? a sharp-eyed coroner, indeed, who could distinguish the two little dark j punctures which would show where I the poison fangs had done their work. Then I thought of the whistle. Of course he must recall the snake before the morning light revealed it to the victim. 'He had trained it. probably by the use of milk, to return to him when summoned. He would put it through the ventilator at tho hour that he thought best, with the certainty that it would crawl down the rope and land on the bed. It mipht nr mio-ht rrt Kita lha fi-in mt I for a week, but sooner or lateer shv must fall a victim. 'I had come to these conclusions ' before ever I had entered his room. ! An inspection of his chair showed me . that he had been in the habit of ! j standing on it, which of course would j be necessary in order that he should i reach the ventilator. The sight of j the safe, the saucer of milk, and the ! loop of whipcord were enough to finally dispel any doubts which may I have remained. The metallic clang I V. r. n V 1f;.H . . 1 , , . caused by her step-father hastily clo - the door of his safe terrible occupant. Having once mado in upon us my mind, you know the stepr ' which I took to put. the matter to tho J proof. I heard the creature hiss, a?) I have no doubt that you did alo. and I instantly lit the light and at- i tacked it." "With the result of driving it ' through the ventilator." ' "And also with the result of causing j it to return upon its master at the other side. Some of the blows of my cane came home, and roused its snak-1 ish temper so that it flew upon the ! first person it saw. In this way i j am no 'doubt indirectly responsible! for Dr. Grimesby Roylott's death, and ! I can not say that it is likely to weigi; very heavily upon my conscience." 1 Monday The Adventure of the Mis-! sing Three-Quarter. ftiKiNiinmiiiniiiitinnuiiiiitiimnMimmiinnnit'iiintuiittiniiiitiii luiiitiiiiiiii j Insist Upon j Golden Cream Bread for purity and quality f!
