PART FOUR It was late before Sherlock Holmes returned. He came back aione, for Lestrade was staying in lodgings in the town. "The glass still keeps very high," he remarked, as he sat down. "It is

of importance that it should not rain before we are able to go over the ground. On the other hand, a man should be at his very best and keenest for such nice work as that, and I did not wish to do it when fagged by a long journey. I have seen young McCarthy." '

"And what did vou learn from him?" "Nothing." "Could he throw ho light?" "None at all. I was inclined to think at one time that he knew who had done it and was screening him or her, but I am convinced now that he is as puzzled as every one else. He is not a very quick-witted youth, though comely to look at, and, I should think.

sound at heart." "I cannot admire his taste," I remarked, "if it is indeed a fact that he was averse to a marriage with so charming a young lady as this Miss Turner." "Ah, thereby hangs a rather painful tale. This fellow is madly, insanely in love with her, but some two years ago, when he was only a lad, and before he really knew her, for she had

.been away five years at a boardingschool, what does the idiot do but get into the clutches of a barmaid in Bristol, and marry her at a registry office? No one knows a word of the

matter, but you can imagine how mad-j

dening it must be to him to be upbraided for not doing what he would give his very eyes to do, but what he knows to be absolutely impossible. It was sheer frenzy of this sort which made him throw his hands up into the air when his father, at their last interview, was goading him on to propose to Miss Turner. On the other hand, he had no means of supporting himself, and his father, who was by all accounts a very hard man, would have thrown him over utterly had he known the truth. It was with his barmaid wife that he had spent the last three days in Bristol, and his father did

not know where he was. Mark that point. It is of importance. Good has

"An elderly man, I presume?" said Holmes.

"About sixty; but his - constitution has been shattered by his life abroad, and he has 'been in failing health for

I s-nme timp This hnsinpss haa. had a

very bad effect upon him. He was cn old friend of McCarthy's, and, I may add, a great benefactor to him, for I have learned that he gave him Hatherley Farm rent free." "Indeed! That is interesting," said Holmes. "Oh, yes! In a hundred other ways he has helped him. Everybody about here speaks of his kindness to him."

Really! Does it not strike you as a little singular that this McCarthy, who appears to have had little of his own, and to have been under such obligations to Turner, should still talk of marrying his son to Turner's daughter, who is, presumably, heiress to the estate, and that in such a very

cocksure manner, as if It were merely

a case of a proposal and all else would

follow? It is the more strange, since we know that Turner himself was averse to the idea. The daughter told

us as much. Do you not deduce some

thing from that?"

"We have got to the deductions and

the inferences," said Lestrade, winking

at me. . "I find it hard enough to tackle

facts. Holmes, without flying away after theories and fancies."

"You are right," said Holmes, de-

imurely; "you do find it very hard to

tackle the facts."

"Anyhow, I have grasped one fact

which you seem to find it difficult to get hold of," replied Lestrade, with

some warmth.

And that is "

"That McCarthy, senior, met his

death from McCarthy, junior, and that all theories to the contrary are the

merest moonshine."

"Well, moonshine is a brighter thing

than fog," said Holmes, laughing. "But I am very much mistaken if this is

not Hatherlv Farm upon the left."

"Yes, that is it." It was a wide

spread, comfortable-looking building, two-storied, slate-roofed, with great yellow blotches of lichen upon the gray walls. The drawn blinds and the smokeless chimneys, however, gave it a stricken look, as though the weight of this horror still lay heavy upon it. We called at the door, when the maid.

eight different points. Holmes desiredto be led to the courtyard, from which we all followed the winding track which led to Boscombe Pool. Sherlock Holmes was transformed when he was hot upon such a scent as this. Men who had only known the quiet thinker and logician of Baker Street would have failed to recognize him. His face flushtd and dark

ened. His browns were drawn into two hard, black lines, while his eyes

shone out from beneath them with a

steely glitter. His face was bent

downward, his shoulders bowed, his

lips compressed, and the veins stooa out like whip-cord in his long, sinewy neck. His nostrils seemed to dilate

with a ' purely animal lust for the chase, and his mind was so absolutely concentrated upon the matter before

him that a question or remark fell unheeded upon his ears, or, at the

most, only provoked a quick, impatient ;

snarl in reply. Swiftly and silently he made his way along the track which ran through the meadows, and

so by way of the woods to the Boscombe Pool. It was damp, marshy ground, as is all that district, and there were marks of many feet, both upon the path and amid the short grass which bounded it on either side. Sometimes Holmes would hurry on, sometimes stop dead, and once he made quite a little detour into the meadow. Lestrade and I walked behind him, the detective indifferent and contemptuous, while I watched my friend with the interest which sprang

from the conviction that every one ofi

his actions was directed toward a definite end. The Boscombe Pool, which is a little reed-girt sheet of water some fifty yards across, is situated at the boundary between the Hatherly Farm and the private park of the wealthy Mr. Turner. Above the woods which lined it upon the farther side we could see the red, jutting pinnacles which marked the site of the rich land-owner's dwelling. On the Hatherly side of the Pool the woods grew very thick, and there was a narrow belt of sodden

grass twenty paces across between the edge of the trees and the reeds which lined the lake. Lestrade showed us the exact spot at which the body had been found, and, indeed, so moist was

the ground, that I could plainly see the traces which had been left by the fall of the stricken man. To Holmes, as I could see by his eager face and peering eyes, very many other things were to be read upon the trampled grass. He ran round, like a dog who is picking up a scent, and then turned upon my companion. "What did you go into the Pool for?" he asked.

"I fished about with a rake. I ; thought there might be some weapon J or other trace. But how on earth "i

"Oh, tut, tut! I have no time! That

left foot of yours with its inward twist is all .over the place. A mole could trace it, and there it vanishes

among the reeds

Oh, how simple it

would all have been had I been here before they came like a herd of buffalo, and wallowed all over it. Here is where the party with the lodgekeeper. and they have covered all tracks for six or eight feet round the body. But here are three separate tracks of the same feet." He drew out a lens, and

he came to the high-road, where all traces were lost. . ; Tomorrow "The Boscombe Valle? Mystery," continued.

rather to himself than to us. "These are young McCarthy's feet. Twice he was walking, and once he ran swiftly so that the soles are deeply marked, and the heels hardly visible. That bears out his story. He ran when he saw his father on the ground. Then here are the father's feet as he paced

i up and down. What is this, then? It

is the butt-end of the gun as the son stood listening. And this? Ha, ha! What have we here? Tiptoes! tiptoes! Square, too, quite unusual boots!

of course that was for the cloak. Now where did they come from?" He ran up and down, sometimes losing.

j somtimes finding the track until we

were well within the edge of the wood and under the shadow of a great beech, the largest tree in the neighborhood. Holmes traced his way to the farther side of this, and lay down once upon his face with a little cry of satisfaction. For a long time he remained there, turning over the leaves and dried sticks, gathering up what seemed to me to be dust into an envelope, and examining with his lens not only the ground, but even the bark of the tree as far as he could reach. A jagged stone was lying among tht moss, and this also he carefully examined and retained. Then he followed a pathway through the wood until

Delightful Hair Wash

You can enjoy a delightful shampoo with very little effort and for a very trifling cost, if you get from your druggist's a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely covered by the daintily perfumed preparation that thoroughlv dissolves and removes every' bit ol dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing the hajr dries quickly with a fluffiness that makes it seem heavier than it is, and takes on a rich luster and a softness that makes arranging it a pleasure. Advertisement.

muda Dockyard, so that there is really no tie between them. I think that that bit of news has consoled young McCarthy for all that he has suffered. "But if he is innocent, who has done it?" "Ah, who? I would call your attention very particularly to two points. One is that the murdered man had an appointment with ( some one at the Pool, and that the some one' could

not have been his son, for his son was away, and he did not know when he would return. The second is that the murdered man was heard to cry

'Cooee!' before he knew that his son had returned. Those are the crucial points upon which the case denends. And now let us talk about George Meredith, if you please, and we shall leave all minor matters until tomorrow." There was no rain, as Holmes had foretold, and the morning broke bright and cloudless. At nine o'clock Lestrade called for us with the carriage, and we set off for Hatherley Farm and the Boscombe Pool. 'There is serious news this morning," Testrade observed. "It is said
