an answer to hi* advertisement- I
tried to read, but my thoughts would
wander off to our strung* quest uiul to
the Ul-aa*>,rte<l and vUlulnooi pair
whom we were pursuing. Could
there Iw, 1 wondered, some radi
cal flaw Is my companion'! reason
ing? Might he bn suffering from
some huge srlf-leceptiou? Was It not
posslblo that bis nlmlile and specu
lative mind had built up this wild
theory upon faulty promises? I had
never known hltn to be wrong; and yet
the keenest rmooner may occasionally
be deceived. Ho was likely, 1 thought,
to fall Into error through the over
refinement of his logic—his preference
for a subtle and ldrarre explanation
when a plainer and mom eommon
plneo oun lay ready to hi* hand. Yet,
on the other hand, I had myself seen
the evidence, and I had heard the rea
sons for lilt deduction*. When I looked
back on the long chain of curious cir
cumstances, many of thorn trivial h»
themselves, but all tending In the am
direction, 1 could not disguise from
myself that even if Holmes' explana
tion were lnoorroot the true theory
must bo equally outre sod startling.
At three o'clock in the afternoon
there was a loud peal at Uu- bcli. as
authoritative voice In thn hall. and. to
try surprise, no less a person than Mr.
Athslncy Junes was shown up to ran.
V cry different was he, however, from
the brusque and masterful professor of
common souse who had taken over the
eaao so oonCdently at Upper Norwood.
Ills expression was downcast, and his
bearing meek and even apologetic.

bandanna handkerchief.
