PART TWO. "Quite so, but it seems rather an absurd blind, does it not? Were there other bicycles in thi3 shed?" "Several.' "Would he not have hidden a couple, bad he desired to give the idea that 1hey had gone off upon them?" "i suppose he would." "Of course he would. The blind theory won't do. But the incident is an admirable starting-point for an in vestigation. After all, a bicycle is not an easy thing to conceal or to a r-t.rT rirA rtthfr mipstinn. Did :"n ih hnv on the daviat tlijuuc before fie disappeared No." "Did he get any letters?" "Yes, one letter." "From whom?" "From his father." "Do you open the boys' letters?", "No." "How do vou know it was from the father?" "The coat of arms was on the envelope, and it was addressed in the Duke's peculiar stiff hand. Besides, the Duke remembers having written." "When had he a letter before that?" "Not for several days." "Had he ever one from France?" "No, never." "You see the point of my questions, of course. Either the boy was carried off by force or he went of his own free will. In the latter case, you would expect that some prompting from outside would be needed to make so young a lad do such a thing. If he has had no visitors, that prompting must have come in letters; hence I try to find out who were his correspondents." "I fear I cannot help you much. His only correspondent, so far as I know, was his own father." "Who wrote to him on the very day of his disappearance. Were the relations between father and son very friendly?" "His Grace is never very friendly with any one. He is completely immersed in large public questions, and is rather inaccessible to all ordinary emotions. But he was always kind to the boy in his own way." "But the sympathies of 'the latter were with the mother?" "Yes." "Did he say so?"

In the meantime I ill do a little quiet work at your own doors, and perhaps the scent is not so cold but that two old hounds like Watson and myself may get a sniff of it." That evening found us in the cold, bracing atmosphere of the Peak country, in which Dr. Huxtable's famous school is situated It was already i dark when we reached it. A card was lying on the hall table, and the butler whispered something to his master, who turned to us with agitation in every heavy feature. "The Duke is here," said he. "The Duke and Mr. Wilder, and I will introduce you." I was, of course, familiar with the j pictures or me lamous statesman, out ctures of tne famous statesman, but the man himself was very different from his representation.

and long. His complexion waa of a dead pallor, which was more startling by contrast with a long,- dwindling beard of vivid red, which flowed down over his white waistcoat, with his watch-chain gleaming throngh its j fringe. Such was the stately presence j (Im of m ,k.n. who looked stonilv at us from 'the (cen tre of Dr. Huitable's heartrug. Beside him stood a very young man. "whom I understood to be Wilder, the private secretary. He was small, nenvous, alert, with intelligent, light-blue eyes and mobile features. It was he mho once, in an incisive and positive tone, opened the conversation. Ixo r,. "I called this morning. Dr. Huxtable, too late to prevent you from starting for London. I learned that your object was to invite Mr. Sherlock rrviuics 10 uuueiutiB uir cuuuci ui this case. His Grace is surprized, Dr. Huxtable, that you should have taken such a step without consulting him." "When I learned that the police had failed" "His Grace is by no means convinced that the police have failed." "But surely, Mr. Wilder " "You are well aware. Dr. Huxtable, that his Grace is particularly anxious to avoid all public scandal. He prefers to take as few people as possible into his confidence." "The matter can be easily remedied," said the brow-beaten doctor; "Mr. Sherlock Holmes can return "to London by the morning train." "Hardly that, doctor, hardly that," said Holmes, in his blandest voice. "This northern air is invigorating and pleasant, so I propose to spend a few days upon your moors, and to occupy my mind as best I may. Whether I have the shelter of your roof or of the village inn is, of course, for you to decide." - - I could see that the unfortunate doctor was in the last stage of indecision, from which he was rescued by the deep, sonorous voice of the red-bearded Duke, which boomed out like a dinner-gong. "I agree with Mr. Wilder. Dr. Huxtable, that you would have done wisely to consult me. But ' since Mr. Holmes has already been taken into your confidence, it would indeed be I absurd that we should not avail ourI selves of his services. Far from going to the inn, Mr. Holmes, I -should be i i , . VL me myewy. " Tnct QC VAil IlL-n f TTj-i1 wine- A v "".-Koc". '"It will probably be necessary for me to see you at the Hall,'" said Mr. Holmes. "I would only ask you now, sir, whether you have formed any explanation in your own mind as to the mysterious disappearance of your son ?" "No, sir, I have not,' T t .TV , u painful to you, but I have no alterDuchess had anything to do with the matter?" The great Minister showed perceptible hesitation. "I do not think so," he said, at last. 'The other most obvious explanation is that the child has been kidnapped for the purpose of levying ransom. You have not had any demand of the sort?" "No, sir." "One more question, your Grace. I understand that you wrote to your son upon the day when this incident occurred." "No, I wrote upon the day before." "Exactly. But he received it on ! that day?" "Yes." "Was there anything in your letter whifh havo nha,a- u; I - ...... ....... v.i. 1 1 1 ill induced him to take such a step?" no. sir. certainly not. "Did you post that letter your- ! seif ? The nobleman's reply was interrupted by his secretary, who broke in with some heat. "His Grace is not in the habit of posting letters himself," said he. "This letter was laid with others upon the study table and I myself put them in the post-bag." "You are sure this one was among them?" "Yes, I observed it." "How many letters did your Grace write that day?" "Twenty or thirty. I have a large somewhat irrelevant? itjwiiuuctr. out surety mis is ""itinued. I have advised the police to turn tneir attention to the South of 1 n rrar.ee. i nave already said that I have already said j r,.... ; , - ..,v men, iii uutusss wouia encourage so monstrous an action, but tne iaa naa the most wrong-headed opinions, and it is possible that he may have fled to her, aided and abetted by this German. I think. Dr. Huxtable, that we will now return to the Hall." i couia see that there were other questions which Holmes would have wished to put, but the nobleman's ab rupt manner showed that the interview was at an end. It was evident that to his intensely aristocratic na ture tins discussion of lamMy anairs with a' stranrer WS most aonorrent. and that he feared lest every fresh question would throw a fiercer light into the discreetly shadowed corners of his ducal history. When the nobleman and his secret tary had left, my friend flunz himself j ?l. on.cue Tith characteristic eagerness The boy's chamber was carefully examined, and yielded nothine savo the absolute conviction that it was1 only through the window that he could have escaped. The German master's room and effects gave no further clue. In his case a trailer of ivv had given way under his weight, and We Saw hv - i,ne 'ht of a lantern the mark on the awn wnere nis neeis had come down That one dint in the short, green grass was the only material witness left of this inexplicable nocturnal flight. - Sherlock Holmes left the house alone, and only returned after eleven. He had obtained a large ordnance map of the neighborhood, and this he brought into my room, where he laid it out on the bed, and, having balanced the lamp in the middle of it, he began to smoke over it, and occasionally to point out objects of

The "no training" sign profeattty will remain hung up at Jack Dempsey's c&mn ' until Thursday or ' Fridav. ac- . .j w , v cording to indications today, when the world's heavyweight champion will swing back into his conditioning grind with the prospects of resuming .boxing along with the other gymnasium routine. Until Dempsey takes up the full training program again the public will be denied admittance to the camp. Dempsey explained the mystery concerning his layoff by saying that he was so thoroughly satsfied with ' his condition that he thought a layoff of thrpo nr four dava wnnlH An him ennA He appeareri to be amused at reports that th. ramD had hn rJol.pd to the i that the camp had been closed to the public so he could engage ia secret training.Denies Secrecy "I don't know where they get the idea of this secrecy thing,' the champion said. "I don't need any training at all this week. , much less secret training. I shall start in late this week and keep it up to the finish. I am not trying to put anything over. Look at me; I never felt better in my life, and I never was in such good condition three weeks before a match, not excepting my contest with Willard." For a time yesterday evening newspaper men were barred from the camp because Dempsey suddenly developed a grouch. Two correspondents managed to talk their way past the two attendants at the-gate and persuaded the champion to weigh in privately. He scaled exactly 196 pounds, which is six pounds above the figure- he hopes . to reach when he crawls through the ropes to meet Carpentier: - - -. ' - Jack Grouchy ; ' Manager Jack Kearns is takir.g Dempsey's cranky streak with a smile. He regards it as a good sign that Dempsey rapidly is getting Into hi fighting condition. It was" recalled that Jim Jeffries acted much the same way when he was getting in shape for an important fight. He was easily irritated and nervous, as was the late Stanley Ketchel. who used to turn on his friends when he reached the peak of his training. ' ' City, in Referendum, Bans Sunday Movies (By Associated Press) MARLETTE," Mich., June H. Strict observance of the Sabbath has" been voted by citizens -of this village in a referendum suggested by Harry Hobbolth. proprietor of its. only motion picture theatre. By a vote of "270 to 70 the electors placed the ban on Sunday movies. The fight 'for. and again.-t Sunday performances Jad waged for several months until . Hobbolth suggested a referendum, agreeing to abide by the decision. An intensive campaign followed, virtually every citizen of voting age casting a ballot. int?rest with the reeking amber of his pipe. "This case grows upon me, Watson," said he. "There are decidedly some points of interest in connection with it. In this early stage, I want you to realize those geographical features which may have a good deal to do with our investigation. "Look at this map. This dark square is the priory school Til put a pin 1n it. Now, this line is the main road.' You see that it runs east and wet past the school, and you see also that there is no side road for a mile either way. If these two folk passed away by road, it was this road." ' - "Exactly." "By a singular and happy chance, we are able to some extent to check what passed along this road during the night in question. At the first cross-road on the east side a county constable was on duty from twelve to six. This man declares that h? was not absent from his post for an instant, and he is positive that neither boy nor man could have gone that way unseen. 1 have spoken with this policeman tonight, and he appears to me to be a perfectly reliable person, That blocks this end. We have now to deal with the other. There Is an inn here, the Red Bull, the landlady of which was ill. She had sent to Mackleton for a doctor but h did not arrive until morning, being, absent, at another case. The people at the inn were alert all night, awaiting his coming, and one or other of them seems to have continually had an eye upon the road. They declare that no one passed. If their evidence is good, then we are fortunate enough to be able to block the west, and also to be able to say that the fugitives did not use the road at ail." "But. the bicycle?" I obieeted "Quite so. We will come to the bicycle presently. To continue our reasoning: if these people did not go by the road, they must have traversed the country to the north of the house or to the south of the house.. That is certain. Let us weigh the one against the other. On the south of the hnus is, as you perceive, a large district of arable land, cut up into small fields, with stone walls between them. There I admit that a' bicycle is-impossible. We can dismiss the idea. We turn to the country on the north. ' Here there lies a grove of trees, marked as the 'Ragged Shaw,' and on the farther side stretches a great rolling moor; Lower Gill Moor, extending for ten miles and sloping gradually upwards. Here at one side of this wilderness, is Holdernesse Hall ten miles by road, but only six across the moor. It is a peculiarly desolate plain. A few "moor farmers have Small holdings, where they rear sheep and . cattle. Except these, the plover and the curfew ar the only inhabitants until you come" To the Chesterfield high. road. There is a church there, a few cottages and ah inn. Beyond that the hills become precipitous. Surely-It is; here to the north that our quest 'must lie." "But the bicycle?" I persisted. -Well, -well:' said - Holmes,- Impatiently, "A good cyclist does not need: a high road. The moor is intersected with paths, and the moon was at the full. Halloa! what is this?" " There wa3 an agitated knock at the door, and an instant afterwards Dr. Huxtable was in the room.
