PART FIVE. It was obvious to me that my companion's mind was now made up upon the case, although what his conclusions were was more than I could even dimly imagine. Several times during our homeward journey I endeavored tu found him upon the point, but he al ways glided away to some other topic, until at last i gave it over in despair. It was not yet three when we found ourselves in our room once more. He hurried to his chamber, and was down again in a few minutes, dressed as a common loafer. With his collar turned up, his shiny, seedy coat, his red cravat, and his worn boots, he was a perfect sample of the class. "I think that this should do." said be, glancing into the glass above the fireplace. "I only wish you would come with me Watson, but I fear that it won't do. I may be on the trail in this matter, or I may be following a wlll-of-the-wisp, but I shall soon know what it is. I hope that I may be back in a few hours." He cut a slice of beef from the joint upon the sideboard, sandwiched it between two rounds of bread, and thrusing this rude meal into his pocket, he started off upon his expedition.

. I had just finished my tea when he

returned, evidently in excellent splr

its, and swinging an old, elastic-sided boot in his hand. He chucked it down

in a corner and helped himself to a

cur of tea.

"I only looked in as I passed," said

he. "I am going right on." -Where to?"

"Oh, to the other side of the West

End. It may be some time before 1 get back. Don't wait up for me in

case I should be late. "How are you getting on?"

"Oh, so so. Nothing to complain of. I have been out to Streatham since I saw you last, but I did not call at the house. It is a very sweet little problem, and I would not have missed

it for a good deal. However, I must J not sit gossiping here, but must getj

these disreputable clothes off and return .to my highly respectable self." , I could see by his manner that ho had stronger reasons for satisfaction than his words alone would imply. His eyes twinkled, and there was even a touch of colo upon his sallow cheeks. He hastened upstairs, and a few min. utes later I heard the slam of the hal! door, which told me that he was once more upon his congenial hunt. I waited until midnight, but there was no sign of his return, so I retired to my room. It was no uncommon thing for him to be away for days and nights on end when he was hot upon a scent, so that his lateness caused me no surprise. I do not know at what hour he came in, but when I came down to breakfast in the morning, there he was with a cup of coffee in one hand and the paper in the other, as fresh and trim as possible. "You will excuse my beginning without you, Watson," he said; "but you remember that our client has rather on early appointment this morning." "Why, it is after nine now," I answered. "I should not be surprised if that were he. I thought I heard a ring." "It was indeed our friend, the financier. was shocked by the change which had come over him. for his face, which was naturally of a broad and massive mould, was now pinced

. and fallen in, while his hair seemed

to me at least a hade whiter. He entered with a weariness and lethargy which was even more painful than his violence of the ornming before, and

he dropped heavily into the armchair which I pushed forawrd for him.

I do not know what I have done to be so severely tried ," said he. "Only

two days ago I was a happy and pros

perous man, without a care in tho world. Now I am left to a lonely and dishonored old age. One sorrow comes close upon another. My niece, Mary,

has deserted me." "Deserted you?" "Yes, her bed this morning had not been slept in, her room was empty, and a note for me lay upon her hall table. I had said to her last night, in sorrow and not in anger, that if she. had married my boy all might have been well with him. Perhaps It was thoughtless of me to say so. U is to this remark that she refers in this note: "'My Dearest Uncle I feel that I have brought trouble upon you. and that if I had acted differently this terrible misfortune might never have occurred. I cannot, with this thought in my mind, ever again be happy under your roof, and I feel that I must leave you forever. Do not worry about my future, for that is provided for; and above all, do not search for me, for it will be fruitless labor and an ill-service to em. In life or in death, I am ever you loving MARY.' "What could she mean by that note Mr. Holme? Do you think it points to suicide?" "No, no nothing of the kind. It is, perhaps, the best possible solution. I trust, Mr. Holder, that you are nearing the end of your troubles." "Ha! You say so! You must have beard something, Mr. Holmes; you

have learned something! Where are

the gems?"

"You would not think 1,000 apiece

a nexcessive sum for them? "I would pay ten."

"That would be unnecessary. Three

you your check book? Here is a pen. Better make it out for 4,000." With a dazed face the 'banker mad out the required check. Holmes walked over to his desk, took out a little triangular piece of gold with three gems in it and threw it down upon the table. - With a shriek of Joy our client clutched it up. "You have it!" he gasped. "I. am saved! I am saved!" The reaction of joy was as passionate as bis grief had been. . and lie hugged his recovered gems to his

bosom. . There is one other thing you owe, Mr. Holder," said Sherlock Holmes, rather sternly. "Owe!" He caught up a pen. "Name the sum .and I will pay it" "No the debt is not to me. You owe a very humble apology to that noble lad, your son, who has carried himself in this matter as I should "be proud to see my own son do, should I ever chance to have one." . "Then Jt was not Arthur who took them?" ' - "I told you yesterday, and I repeat it today, that it was not." "You are sure of it! Then let us

hurry to him at once, to let him know

that the truth is known." "He knows it already. When I

had cleared it all up I had an inter

view with him; and finding that he

would not tell me the story, I told it to him, on which he had to confess that I was right, and to add the very few details which were not Quite clear to me. Your news of this morning, however, may open his lips." "For Heaven's sake! tell me, then, what is this extraordinary mystery'." Tomorrow The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet concluded.

A citizens' committee of Saa Francisco is arranging for the searchlight which will shoot its rays out across the Pacific ocean and give the first indication to incoming steamships that land is near. W. D. A. Ryan, the illuminating engineer who lighted the Panama Pacific International Exposition, first suggested the use of the light to stand as a sentinel at the Golden Gate.
