As , far as the,death of Bartholomew Sholto went, 1 had heard little good of him, and could feel no intense antipathy to his murderers. The treasure, however, was » different matter.

When I came down to our room 1 f -mid the breakfast laid and Holmes pouring but the coffee“Here it is.!’ said he, laughing and peirting to an open newspaper. “The energetic Jones and the übiquitous re-, .pt): ter.have fix- il it up between them. Biit you have had enough of the case. Better have your ham and eggs first.” 1 took the paper from him and read ! the short notice, which was headed: > “Mysterious -Buaineta at Vpper Norwood ” j. “About twelve o’clock last night,” I said the Standard. ."Mr. Bartholomew | Shoito. of Pondicherry lodge, I'ppcr Norw,x<d. was found dead in his room under cirxumstane«-s which point to foui play. A> far wc can learn. no eetual traces of violence, were found upon Mr. Sholto's person,, but a ,v;<luuble collection of Indian gems which the deceased gentleman had inherited from his father has' | been carried : off. The discovery j w.-,s first made by Mr. Sheriock Holmes and Dr. Watson; who had called at the I hou-.. with Mr. Thadileus Shalto, brother of the dcgeaseil. By a singular ; piece of good fortune Mr. Athelney Jones, the’well-known membyr of the | . live police force, happened to be i ■at •.N'Twoiml jxjiice station, and! was n the ground within half an hour of the first alarm. Bis trained and ex-p-r oneed faculties were at once directC'l towards the detection of the crim- i I inals. with the graftfying result that * the broraer, Thaddeus Shoito, haa al- f ready been arrested, together with the i housekeeper., Mrs. Bernstone, an In- ; dian butter named Lal Rao, and a por1 ter. nt gatekeeper, named McMurdo. It j is quite certain that the thief or: j thieves were Jiyell acquainted' with the I i house, for/Mr. Jones' well-known : I technical knowledge and his powers | :of minute observation have en- j aided him to prove conclusively that the miscreants could not have entered J by the door or by the window, but must have made their way across the roof of | the building, and so thropgh a trap- | door into a room which communicates! j with that in which the bodj was found. This fact, which has been very clearly : made out, proves conclusively that it was no mere haphazard burglary. The prompt,and energetic actioq of the offii cere of the law shows the great advau- ! tage of the presence’ on such occasions of a single vigorous and masterful mind. We cannot but think that it supplies an argument to those who would wish to s»-e our detectives more ! decentralized, and brought into closer ' and more effective touch with the ' eases which ft is their duty to investi- I I gate."

“So do T. I woul<hi’t answer for on.? safety now, if he should happen to ha re another of his attacks of energy.” At this moment there was a lout ring at the bell, and I could hear Mrs, Hudson, ouf landlady, raising her voice in a wail of expostulation and dismay. “By heaven, Holmes,” T said, hall rising, “1 believe that they are really after us.” - “No. it's not quite so bad as that.< It Is the unofficial force —the Baker street j irregulars.” As he spoke, there came a swift pattering of naked feet upon the stairs, a clatter of high voices, and in rushed a dozeti dirty and ragged little streetArabs. There was some show of diselpline among them, despite their tumultuous entry, fur they instantly ; drew up in line and stood facing us [with expectant faces. One of their number, taller and older than the others. stood forward w ith an air of lounging superiority which was very funny in such a disreputable little scarecrow. '“Got your message, sir,” said he, "and brought ’em on sharp. Three bob and a tanner for tickets.” j "Here you are,” said Holmes, producing some silver. “In future they dih report to you. Wiggins, and you to me. 1 cannot have the house inv-ided in this way. However, it is just as well that you should all hear the instructions. I want to find the whereabouts of a steam launch called the Aurora, owner Mortleeai Smith, black with two red streaks, funnel mack with a white bend. She is down the river somewhere. I want one boy to be at MorI decal Smith's landing-stage opposite MiUlSarik to say if the .boat comes back.

Is that all clear?” "Yes, guv'hor?’ said Wiggins. “The old scale of pay , and. a guinea ‘ to the Boy who finds the boat. Here's a day in advance. Now off you go!” ; He handed them a shilling each, and away thej- buzzed down the.stairs, and I saw them a moment later streaming pdojyn the street. "If the. launch is above water they will find her." said Holmes, as he rose from the ’ ndlit his pipe. “They <■ ’i go eviryxvheje. see everything, overhear everyone. I expect to. hear before evening that they have spotted her. In the meanwhile, we can dd nothing but await results. We cannot pick up the broken trail until we find either the Aurora or Mr. Mortleeai smith. ’ I “Toby could Vat these scraps. 1 dare -say. Arc you going to bed, Holmes?” “No; lam not tired. I have a curi* 1 [ ous cui'ti trit ion. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely. 1 am goliig to smoke and to think over this queer business to which my fair client has introduced us. If ever man had an* easy task, t his of ours ought to be. Wooden-legged men are not so common, but the other man must, I should think, be absolutely unique.” “That other man again!” . “I have no wish to make a mystery [of him -to you. anyway. But you must’havc formed your own opinion. Now, do consider the data. Diminutive footmarks, ’ toes never fettered by | boots, naked feet, stone-headed wooden muee,.great agility, small poisonec darts. What do you make of all this?'.’ “A savage!” I exclaimed, ‘Terhaps one of those Indians who were the associates of Jonathan Small.” “Hardly that." said he. "When first I saw signs of strange weapons I was inclined to think so; but the remarkable character of the footmirks caused me to reconsider my views. Some of the inhabitants <d the Indian peninsula are small men, but none could have [ left such marks as that. The.Hindoo proper has long and thin feet.
