so Jonathan Small left his record, low

must be sunburned after serving his

"His height is readily -calculated from
the length of his stride, and we know
that he was bearded. His hairiness

itself upon Thaddeus Sholto when he

half-rural, villa-lined roads which lead
to the metropolis. Now, however, wo
vere beginning to come among contin

men' were already astir, ami-slatternly
women were taking down shutters and
brushing doorsteps. At the- square
topped corner public houses business
was just beginning, and rough-looking
men were emerging, rubbing their
sleeves across their beards after their
morning wet. Strange dogs sauntered
up, and stared wonderingly at us as we
passed, but-our inimitable Toby looked
neither to the right nor to the left, but
trotted onwards with his nose to tho
ground and an occasional eager whine,
' which spoke of .a hot scent. .

CHAPTER VIII.
THE BAKKR STREET IRREOCLARS.
"What now?" I asked "Toby has
lost his character for infallibility."
"He acted according to his lights,"
said Holmes, lifting him down from
the barrel and 'walking him out of the
timber yard. -'If you consider how
much creosote is carted about London
in one day, it is no great wonder that
our trail should have l-eu crossed. It
is much used now, especially for the
seasoning of wood. Poor Toby is not
to blame."
""We must get on the-main scent
again, 1 suppose."
"Yes. And, fortunately, we have no
distance to go. Evidently what puzzled
the dog at the corner of Knight's
place was that there were two differ
ent trails running in .opposite direc
tions. We took the wrong one. It only
remains to follow the other."
There was no difficulty about this.
On leading !?oby to the place where he
had colami ted his fault, he cast about
In a wide circle, and finally dashed off
in a fresh direction.-
"We must take care that he does not
now brin us to the place where the
creosote barrel came from," I observed.
"I had thought of that. .But you no
tice that he keeps on the pavement,
whereas the barrel passed down the
roadway. No, wc are on the true scest
now." '
It tended down towards the river
side, running through Belmont place
and TMnee's street. At the end of
Broad street it ran right down to the
water's edge, where there was a small
wooden wharf. - Tobv led us to the
very edge of this, and. there stood
whining, looking out on the dark cur
rent beyond.
"We are out of luck," said Holmes.
"They have, taken to' a boat here."
Several small pnats and skiffs were
lying about in the water aud on the
edge of the wharf. We took Toby
round to each in turn, but, though he
sniffed earnestly, he made no sign.
Close to the rude landing stusre was
a small brick house, with a wooden
placard -swung out through the second
window. "Mordeeai Smith" was printed
across it in large letters, and, under
neath: "'Boats to hire by the hour or
day." A second inscription a bove the
door informed us that a steam launch
was kept a statement which was con
firmed by a great pile of coke upon the
jetty. Sherlock Holmes looked slowly
round, and his face assumed an ominous
expression. v
"This looks-bad," said he. "Those
fellows, are . sharper .than I expected.
They seem to have covered their tracks.
There has, I fear, been preconcerted
management here."
He was approaching the door of the
house, when it opened, and a little
curly-headed lad of six came running
out, followed by a stoutish, red-faced
woman- with a large sponge in her hand.
. ''Ycu-come back 'and Ikj washed.

"I wanted to hire his steam launch."
"Why, bless you, sir, it is in the steam

puzzles' me; for I know there a in't more
coals in her than would take her to
about Woolwich and back. If he'd been
away in the barge I'd ha' thought
nothin'; for many a time a job has taken
him as far as Gravesend, and then if
there was much doin' there he might ha'
stayed over. But what good is a steam
launch without coals?"
"He might have bought some at a
wharf down the river."
"He might, sir, but it weren't his
way. Many a time I've heard him call
out at the prices they charge for a few
odd bags. Besides. I don't like

man knew he was comin", for he had
steam up in the launch. I tell you
straight, sir, I don't feel easy in my
.mind about it."
"But, my dear Mrs. Smith," said
Holmes," shrugging his shoulders,
"you are frightening yourself about
nothing. How could you possibly, tall
that it was the wooden-legged man
who came in the night? I don't quite
understand how you can be so sure."
"His voice, sir. I knew his voice,

like an oyster. If you listen to them
under protest, as it were you are very
likely to get what you want."
'Our course now seems pretty clear,"
said I.
"What would you do, then?"
"I would engage a launch and go
down thes track of the Aurora."
"My dear fellow, it would be a colos
sal task. She may have touched at
any wharf on either side of the stream
between here and Greenwich. Helow
the bridge there is a perfect labyrinth
of landing-places for miles. It would
take you days and days to exhaust
them, if you set about it alone."
"Employ the police, then."
"So. I shall probably call Athelney
Jones In at the last moment. He is
not a bad fellow, and I should not like
to do anything which would Injure
him professionally. But I have a fancy
for working it out myself, now that we
have gone so far."
"Could we advertise, then, asking
for information from wharfingers?"
"Worse and worse! Our men would
know that the chase was hot at their
heels, and they would be off out of the
country. As it Is, they are likely
enough to leave, but as long as they
think they are perfectly safe they will
be in no hurry. Jones' energy will be
of use to us there, for his view of the
case is sure to push itself into the daily
press, and the runaways will think,
that everyone is off on ..tiv- "wrong
scent." - .
".y&nfiafe we to do, then?" I asked,
'as we landed near Millbank peniten

have some breakfast, and get an hour's

may be afoot to-night again. Stop at
the telegraph office, cabby! We will
keep Toby, for he may be of use to us
yet." 1
We pulled up at the Great Peter
6treet post office, arid Holmes dis
patched his wire. "Whom do you
think that is to?" he asked, as we re
sumed our journey.
'"I am sure I don't know."
"You remember the Baker street di-

"Well," said I, laughing.
"This is just the case where they
might be invaluable. If they fail, 1

that he and his gang will be with us

now, and I was conscious of a strong
reaction after the successive excite

and could feel no Intense antipathy to
( his murderers. The treasure, however,
was a different matter. That, or part
of it, belonged rig-htfully to Miss
Morstan.' While there was a chance
of recovering it, I was ready to
devote my life to the one object
True, if I found It, it would prob
ably put her forever beyond my
re;ich. Yet it would be a petty and
selfish love which would be influenced
by such a thought as that. If Holmes
could work to find the criminals, I had
a tenfold stronger reason to urge me
on to find the treasure.
A bath at Baker street and a com
plete change freshened me up wonder
fully. When I came down to our room
I found the breakfast laid and Holmes
pouring out the coffee.
"Here it is," said he, laughing and
pointing to an open newspaper. "The
energetic Jones and the ubiquitous re
porter have fixed it up between them.
But you havw had enough of the case.
Better have your ham and ggs first."
I took the paper from him and read
the' short notice, which was headed:
"Mysterious Business at Upper Nor
wood." "About twelve o'clock last night,
said the Standard, "Mr. Bartholomew
Sholto, of Pondicherry lodge. Upper

valuable collection of Indian gems
which the deceased gentleman had
inherited from his father has
been carried off. The discovery
was first made by Mr. Sherlock Holmes
and Dr. Watson, who had called at the
house with Mr.- Thaddeus Shalto,

piece of good fortune Mr. Athelney

Tba Monro Doctrine. "
A great deal is being said about
this famous utterance, just now, and
some of our readers know exactly
what it means when they hear it men
tioned. Others .have a misty -idea of
it; and to many it is Greek. It will
do the readers ot the Advance no
harm lo review it in a few words.
From 1817 to 1825, James Mon
roe was President of our United
States. He was as true an American
as ever lived in this country; and bey j
gan his long term of public service, at
the age ol seventeen, wlian he elisted
in the Revolutionary Army. He
was soon made Colonel; and upon
entering civil life, he became a con
gressman, before he was twenty-five
years old. He was appointed Min
ister to France in 1794, and upon his
return home, was elected Governor
of Va. In 1802 he was sent to
France, with instructions to purchase listening fur two hours to . a lawyer
Loumnatrom the first Napoleon; and jarguin2 a case in the Supreme Court,
within a fortnight had bought it for I "l don'1 know replied the gentleman
$15,000,000. 'V door keeper; "he lv n"' cmmitUd
After holding various'' 'responsible j himself yer'-tu i-
offices, he was in 1817, elevated to
that ol President a position which
he held for eight, years being re
elected almost unanimously.
His administration has been called
"The Golden Age of American Poli
tics;" but the most important event
that occurred within its limit, and the
one that will make Monroe -im mor
tal, was the inserting ofa clause in his
message of 1S23, in which, by a few
simple words, he declared that
America ought not to entangle her
self in the broils of Europe, and on
the other Land should compel the
Europe in powers to keep their hands
out of the political affairs of Western
Hemisphere. "Any attempt on the
part of the European powers to ex
tend their system to any portion of
the Hemisphere," he said, "will be
regarded as dangerous to our peace
and safety, and will accordingly be
opposed."
At this time, the monarchies, of
Europe were more or less quietly
banding together, to crush out the
young western Republic, which
seemed to them such a fruitful soil j
lor the growth of liberal principles. '
But this new "Doctrine" of non-interference
went around the world like a :
bugle call, and roused the friends of
liberty wherever it was heard. True
hearted people of every land admired
the pluck ol this yougest of the na
tioi s, and the cro n d heads ol
Europe were wise enough not to un
dertake a war against both the Unit
ed States and the popular sentijxint
of the world. - ;
- Tbris enunciation of the Monroe
Doctorine was the turning-point of a
great crisis; the world discovered that
America meant to live; and the op
pressed of all lands began to contrive
how to get here.
For forty years the Monroe Doc
torine was never violated by one of
the foreign nations that looked over
at us from the other side of the At
lantic. At the end of that time, how
ever, and during our Civil War, "Na
poleon the Small," as Victor Hugo
terms him, founded an empire on
Mexican soil, and placed the ill-fated
Maximilian at its head; but this ill
starred enterprise closed with the ex
ecution of the luckless empiror, in
1867. Since that time the Doctorine
has been rigidly upheld by the Uni-
ted States; every attempted violation
of it meets with the most earnest re
monstrance, and persistence in the act
by any nation would no doubt be tol-
lowed by war. "
James Monrde died a poor man,
indebted for the comfort of his declin
ing days to the filial love ofa daugh
ter, wife of the postmaster of New
York. He lies buried in one of the
smaller cemeteries of New York, and
his grave is a humble one; but, the
time must surely come when patriot
ic Americans will build him one of
the grandest monuments on the west
ern continent, with the text of his cel
ebrated Doctorine engraved theret n.

Internatienal Postage Stami.
The German Government has
opened negotiations with other mem

of an international postage stamp. Its
convenience to business men would
be great It present it i not possible
in writing to a foreign correspond

this alone is often a source of annoy

also afford a ready means of settling
small bills. - At last accounts all coun
tries in the Postal Union except the

scheme, and a conference will soon be
called to arrange details.
