The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet - By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Copyright, 1921, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
PART ONE "Holmes," said I, as I stood one morning in our bow-window looking down the street, "here is a madman coming along. It seems rather sad that his relatives should allow him to come out alone." My friend rose lazily from his armchair and stood with his hands in the pockets of his dressing-gown, looking over my shoulder. It was a bright, crisp February morning, and the snow of the day before still lay deep upon the ground, shimmering brightly in the wintry sun. Down the centre of Maker Street it hid been ploughed into a brown crumbly band by the traffic, but at either side and on the heaped-up edges of the foot-paths it still lay as white as when it fell. The gray pavement had been cleaned and scraped, but was still dangerously slippery, so that there were fewer passengers than usual. Indeed, from the direction of the Metropolitan Station no one was coming save the single gentleman whose eccentric conduct had drawn my attention. He was a man of about fifty, tall, portly, and imposing, with a massive, strongly marked face, and a commanding figure. He was dressed in a sombre yet rich style, in black frockcoat, shining hat, neat brown gaiters, and well-cut pearl-gray trousers. Yet his actions were in absurd contrast to the dignity of his dress and features, for he was running hard, with occasional little springs, such as a weary man gives who is little accustomed to set any tax upon his legs. As he ran he jerked his hands up and down, waggled his head, and writhed his face into the most extraordinary contortions. "What on earth can be the matter with him?" I asked. "He is' looking up at the numbers of the houses." "I believe that he is coming here, said Holmes, rubbing his hands. "Here?" "Yes; I rather think he Is coming to consult me professionally. I think that I recognize the symptoms. . Ha! did I not tell you?" As he spoke, the man, puffing and blowing, rushed at our door and pulled at our bell until the whole Bouse resounded with the clanging. A few moments later he was in our room, still puffing, still gesticulatin g, LEGAL NOTICE SHERIFF'S SALE By virtue of a copy of decree execution to me directed from the Clerk of the Wayne Circuit Court, I will expose at public sale, at the Court House door, in the city of Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana, on the 17th day of August, 1921, between the houw of 10 o clock a. m. and 4 o'clock p. m. on said day, the following property, toA part of the northeast quarter of section thirty-one (31), Township fourteen (14), Rapge one (1), West, beginning at a point on the north line of said quarter section 425.5 feet west of the northeast corner of said sectionthence south along the west line of Alice M.

but with so fixed a look of grief and despair in his eyes that our smiles were turned in an instant' to horror and pity. For a while he could not get his words out, but swayed his body and plucked at his hair like one who has been driven to the extreme limits of his reason. Then, suddenly springing to his feet, he beat his head against the wall with such force that we both rushed upon him and tore him away to the centre of the room. Sherlock Holmes pushed him down into the easy-chair, and, sitting beside him, patted his hand, and chatted with him in the easy, soothing tones which he knew so well how to employ. "You have come to me to tell your story, have you not?" said he. "You are fatigued with your haste. Pray wait until you have recovered yourself, and then I shall be most happy to look into any little problem which you may submit to me." The man sat for a minute or more with a heaving chest, fighting against his emotion. Then he passed his handkerchiefs over his brow, set his lips tight, and turned his face towards us. "No doubt you think me mad?" said he. "I see that you have had some great trouble," responded Holmes. "God knows I have! a trouble which is enough to unseat my reason, so sudden and so terrible is it. Public . disgrace I might have faced, although I am a man whose character has never yet borne a stain. Private affliction also is the lot of every man; but the two coming together, and in so frightful a form, have been enough to shake my very soul. Besides, it is not I alone. The very noblest in the land may suffer unless some way be found out of this horrible affair." "Pray compose yourself." sir." said Holmes, "and let me have a clear account of who you are, and what it is that has befallen you." "My name," answered our visitor, is probably familiar to your ears, I am Alexander Holder nt tha hoir
ing firm of Holder & Stevenson, of i ureaaneeaie streeL The name was indeed well known to us, as belonging to the senior partner in the second largest private banking concern in the City of London. What could have happened, then, to bring one of the foremost citizens of London to this most pitiable pass? We waited, all curiosity, until with another effort he braced himself to tell his story. "I feel that time, is valuable." said he; "that is why I hastened here when the police inspector suggested that I should secure your co-operation. I came to Baker street by the UnderA COMFORTABLE WORK DRESS 3636 Pattern 3636 is here shown. It is Jcut in seven sizes: 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, ana 4b inches bust measure. A 38inch size will require 6i yards of 36inch material. Percale, gingham, chambray, repp and poplin are suitable for this style. The sleeve has a short outer seam that may be left open and the edges of it finished with buttons and buttonholes for a closing; thus the sleeve may be turned back for convenience in the working.

ground, and hurried from there on foot, for the cars go slowly through this snow. That is why I was so out of breath, for I am a man who takes very little exercise. I feel better now, and I will put the facts before you as shortly and yet as clearly as I can. "It is, of course, well known to you that in a successful banking business as mucn depends upon our being able: to find remunerative-investments for our funds as upon our increasing our connection and the number of qur depositors. One of our most lucrativemeans of laying out money is in tho shape of loans, where the security i unimpeachable. We have done a good deal in this direction during the last few years, and there are many notable families to whom we have advanced large sums upon the security of their pictures, libraries, or plate. - "Yesterday morning I was seated in my office at the bank when a cardwas brought in to me by one of the : clerks. I .started - when I saw the name, for it was that of none other than-well, perhaps even to you I had better say no more than it was a nam -which is a household word all over the earth one of th highest,- noblest, most exalted . names in , England. - I was overwhelmed bjr the honor and. attempted, when he entered, to sayso, but he plunged at once into busk ness with the air of a man who wishes to hurry quickly through a disagreeable .task. . ; , : " 'Mr. Holder,' said he, 1 have been ! informed that you are in the habit of . advancing money. ' 'The firm does so when the security is good,' I answered. ' '"It is absolutely essential to me. said he, 'that I 6hould have 50,000 once. I could of course borrow so trifling a sum ten times over from my friends, but I much prefer to make It a matter of business, and. to carry out , the business myself. In my position you can readily understand that it !? unwise to place one's self under obligations.' - - "'For how long, may" I ask, do you want this sum?' I asked. "'Next Monday I have a large sum due to me, and I shall then most certainly repay what you advance with whatever interest you think it right to charge. But it is very essential to me that the money, should be paid it once.' " 'I should be happy to advance ir : without further parley from my own priv.ate purse,' said I, 'were if not thai the strain would be rather more than it could bear. If, on the other hand, 1 I am to do it in the name of the firm, then in justice to my partner I must insist that, even in your case,- every business-like precaution should be taken.' "'I should much prefer to have it so, said he, raising up a square black morocco case which he . had laid beside the chair. 'You have doubtless heard of the Beryl Coronet?' " 'One of the most precious public possessions of the empire,' said L "'Precisely.' He opened th case, and there, imbedded in the soft, flesh colored velvet, lay the magnificent piece of jewelry which he had named. . 'Thre are thirty-nine, enormous berys,' said he, ' and the price of the gold chasing is incalucuable. The lowest estimate would put the worth of the coronet at double the sum which I have asked. I am prepared to leave it with-you as my security.' "I took the precious case into my hands and looked in some perplexity from it to my illustrious client "You doubt its value?' he asked. '"Not at all. I only doubt' " 'The propriety cf my leaving iL . You may set your mind at rest about that. I should not dream of doing so were it not absolutely certain that I should be able in four days to reclaim it. It is a pure matter of form. : Is the security sufficient?' "'Ample.' r. "'You understand, Mr. Holder, thatI am giving you strong proof of the confidence which I have in you, founded upon all that I have heard of you. I rely upon you to be discreet and to refrain from all gossip upon the matter, but, above all, to preserve the cor- , onet with every possible precaution, . because I need not say that a great", public scandal would be caused if any harm were to befall it. Any injury to it would be almost as serious as its complete loss, for there are no Beryls in the world to match these, and it would be impossible to replace them. I leave it with you, however,' with every confidence, and I. shall call for it in person on Monday morning.' - Tomorrow The Adventure of the' Beryl Coronet, continued. . .. .., German Socialist Leader .
