There 1 stayed for »‘ome’ time at .a private hotel in the Strand, leading a com-, fortlcss. meaningless existence, and ■spending such , money as 1 had con- : aiderably more freely than I ought. So alarming did the state df my finances bectmie that I soan'roalinsd that 1 must j - either leave U.e metropolis and rusticate somewhere in the country, or that I must maktva complete alteration in ' my styl > of living.

On the very day that I had come •to this conclusion, I was standing at the Criterion bar, when Japped -on the shoulder, and turning round I ro.ssrnizcd yotihg Stamford, who bad. .been a dro<ser under me at Hart's. The sight 0-' » .Friendly face in the groat wilderness of London.is a pleasant thing indeed to a lonely man. Jn old/iays'Stamford had never been a particular crony of mine, but how I hailed him with 1 ent.lnfsiasm. and he. ’ in turn, appeared tube delighted to see me. In the exuberance pf my joy 1 a-Mted him to lunch with me at the Holborn. ami we started off together in a hansotn••Whatever have you been doing with yourself.

I gave him a short sketch of my adventures. and lu»d harylly concluded it by the time that we reached our destination. ••Poordevil!” he said, commiscratingly, after he had listened to my misfortunes, “What art yob up to now?” “Looking for lodgings.’ - I answered. “Trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price.” * “That’s a strange thing,” remarked n»y companion “you .are the second ■an to-day that has used that expression to me.” •And who was th* first r 1 asked.

He was bemoaning himself this mornjog because he could not get some one to go halves with him in some nice rixims which he had found, aixl which were too much for his purse.” z • By Jove!” I eried: “if he really wants some one to share the rooms and the’ expense. I ahi the very fnnn for him. ( I should prefer having a partner to be- j ing alone. ’’ Young Stanford looke-T rather ’strangely at me over his.wineg’.ass. ■‘You don’t kr.ow Sherlock .

Near the farther lend a low, arolied passage branched | away from it and led to the chemical | laboratory. ■ . ... I This was a lofty chamber, linevi and Uttered with countless bottles. Broad., low tablcs Were about, which tied? with fOvK-t*. test tub. * and r little Run*en lamps, with their | flickering flames. There was only one stuijent in the room, who was bending over a distant table absorbed in his work. 'At the sound of our steps he | glanced round and sprung to his feet with a cry of pleasure. “I’ve found it! •Tre found it!” he shouted to. my companion, running toward us with a testtube in hfa nand. “I’have* found a * reagent which fa preci pi to ted by hatmoglobin. and by nothing else ” I Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon hfa features. ’ j “Dr. Watson—Mr. Sherlock Holmei,” said Stamford, introducing us. “How- are you?" he said, cordially, | griping my band with a strength- for which 1 should hardly have given him credit. "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.” “How on earth did you know that?” ; I asked, in astonishment. "Never mind.” said he, chuckling to himself. question now is about haemoglobin. No doubt you sec the significance of this discovery of mine?” “It is interesting* chemically, no doubt;'” I answered} ®“but practically “Why, man, it is the most practical medico-legal discovery for years. Don’t you see that it gives us an infallible test for blood-stains? Cyme over here, now!" ’He seised me by the coat-sleeve in hfa eagerness, and drew me over to the table at which he had been working. “Let u* have some ,

frssh blood.” he said, digging a long bodkin into hfa finger, and drawing off the resulting drop of blood in a chemical pipette. I add this small quantity of blood to a litre of water ’ Y’ou perceive that the resulting mixture has the appearance of true water. The proportion of blood cannot be more than one in a million. I have no doubt, however, that we shall be able to obtain the characteristic reaction.” As he spoke, he tlirow into the vessel a few white crystals, and then added - some drops of a transparent fluid. In an instant the contents assumed a dull • mahogany color, and a brownish deist i was precipitated to the bottom of the I glass jar. “Ha! ha!” he cried,’clapping his hands, and looking as delighted as a child wit?} a new toy. “What do you think of-Viat?" “It seems to be a very delicate test,” L remarked‘“Beautiful! beautiful! The old • guaiacum test was very clumsy and un- ( certain. So is the microscopic examination for blood-corpvsclesi • The latter is valueless if the stains are a few hours old- Now, this appears to act ' as well whether the blood is old or | new. Ha<l this test been invented, there of men now walkI Ing the eartw who would long ago have paid thc pe/Salty <if their erimes ’ “Indeed!" I murmured. “Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months pier- | haps after it has been committed. His linen er 4 clothes are examined, and brownish stains discovered upon them. Are they blood-stains, or mud-staina. or 'rnst-s’jgins. or fruit-stains, •or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because, there was nd reliable, test. Now (we have the Sherlock Holmes test, and there will no longer be any 'ditfienltT." - . His eyes fairly glittered as he spoke, and he put his hand over hi.’f’heart and bowed as if to some applauding crowd conjured up by Iris imagination. “You are to be congratulated" I remarked, eonsulerably surprised at hfa enthusiasm. ; “There was the case of Von Bischoff at Frankfort last year. He would <3ertainly JiaVe been hung had this test been in existence. Then there, was Siason, of Bradford, and the notorious - Muller and! Lefevre, of Montpelier, and Samson, of New Orleans. I could name a score cases in which it would have been decisive.”' “You sCcin to be a walking calendar* of crime," said Stamford, with a laugh.y ( "You might' start a paper on those AJ, , , kt ?

"I have to be capful.” he continued, turning to we wStlj a smile, "for I dabble poisiUjs a good deal.” He held feut his hand us he spoke, and I noticed that it was all mottled over with similar pieces of plaster and discolored with, strong acids.. “We came here*on 'business," said Stamford, sitting down on a tbreelegged stool,and pushing another one in iny direction with his foot. “My friehd here wants to take diggings, and as you were complaining that you cpuld get no one to go halves With you; I thought that I had better’ bring yon together.” ? Sherlock Holmes seemed delighted at the idea of sharing_his rooms with me. vT have my eye on a suite in Baker street," he said, “Which would suit us down to the ground. You don’t rn/hil the swell of strong tobacco, I hope?" ' ‘ •'F always smoke ‘ship’s’ myself,” I answered, ‘ ; ' That’s good' enough. I generally I have chemicals about, and occasionalIlv do experiments Would that auuoy you?" ' "Hy no.means." - “Let me see--what are .my other shortcomings? I get in the dumps at times and don't open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky .when Ido that. Just let me alone and 111 soon be all right. What have you to confess, now?

I ; “JJ depends on the player,” I answered. "A well-played violin is a treat for the gods; a liadly played one—" •=Oh. that’s all right,” he cried, with a merry laugh.

June 4.—The seventeen carloads of non-union coal captured at this point ten days ago and side-tracked are no longer here. The state militia, "to the number of •325 men. marched into town at 11:15 o’clock Sunday morning and guartjed a train crew while they-hooked on to the cars and hauled them away. There was no overt act of resistance. but a few men indulged in more or less reckless talk.

For a time 'itMooked as if this incident would cause trouble. ■ The -miners -insisted that Sheriff Mills should arrest the general and said they would make it warm for the soldiers unless this was done. The gynyral was not arrested, however, and the troops got away without firing a shot. Every man- was provided with forty' rounds of ammunition and resistance on the part of the miners would have meant appalling results. The militia, under command Os Brig, Gen. McKee, reached here at 11:15 a. tn. Upon leaving the train a skirmish line was thrown across the railroad track, white a line -of soldiers was formed' on either flank Then the whole regiment was ordered to march, its arms at trail It did so with rapid step The A“"“ Was crowded; with men, v.-<hnetr and children.

Within ten or fifteen- minutes the militia was ih complete possession. No- striker or other citizen was . any.where ■ nbar the side track or coal cars whie stand near the depot! The left flank of the advancing troops had deployed and formed a long ba\-<>-neted Hne beside the coal ears. Tlia * engine backed in. hooked up the overdue train and pulled it away. The militia proceeded straightaway to Alum Cove another mining camp m this county, and took out sevehil.cars of coal and cokei from that place. A fight was narrov. !y averted. .
