.-I. passed my hand ever my brow.
5Ijr bead is in a whirl,'' I remarked;
"the more one thinks of it the more
mysterious it grows. How came these
two men if there were two men into
an empty house? What has become of
the cabman who drove them? How
could one man compel, another to take
poison? Where did the,--blood come
from? What was the object of the
murderer, since robbery had no part in
it? 11 ow came the woman's ring there?
Above all, why should the second man
write up the German word "rache" be
fore decamping? I confess-that I can
not see, any possible way of reconciling
all these facts."
My companion smiled approvingly.
"You sum up the difficulties of the
situation succinctly and well," he said.
"There is much that is still obscure,
though I have quite made up my mind
on the main facts. As to poor Les-
trade's discovery it was simply a'blind
intended to put the police upon a wrong
track, by suggesting socialism and
secret societies. It was not done by a
German. The A, if you noticed, was
printed somewhat after the German
fashion. Now a real German invaria
bly prints in the Latin character, so
that we may safely say that this was
not written by one, but by a clumsy
imitator, who overdid his part. It was
simply a ruse to divert inquiry into a
wrong channel. I m not going to tell
you much more of the case, doctor.
You know a con3urer gets no credit
when once he bas explained his trick,
and if V show you too much of mv
method of working, you will come to
the conclusion that I am a very ordinary,
individual after all."
I shall never do that," I answered;
"you have brought detection as near
an exact science as it ever win oe
brought in this world."
My companion flushed up with pleas
ure at my words and the earnest way
in which t uttered them. I had al
ready observed that he was as sensitive
to flattery on the score of his art as any
girl could be of her beauty.
"I'll tell you one other thing," he
said. "Patent-leathers and Square-
toes came in the same cab, and they
walked down the pathway together as
friendly as possible arm-in-arm, in all
probability. When they got inside
they walked up and down the room
or rather, Patent-leathers stood still
while Square-toes walked up and
down. I could read all that in the
dust; and I could read that, as he
walked, he grew more and more ex
cited. That is shown by the increased
length of his strides. He was talking
all the while, and working himself up,
no" doubt, into a fury. Then the
tragedy occurred. I've told you all I
know myself, now, for the rest is mere
surmise and conjecture. We have a
good working basis, however, on which
to start. We must hurry up, for I
want to go to Halle's concert, to hear
Norman Neruda, this afternoon."
This conversation had occurred while
our cat) liad been threading its way
through a long succession of dingy
streets and dreary by-ways. In the
dingiest and dreariest of them our
driver suddenly came to a stand-
"That's Audley court in there," he
said, pointing to a narrow slit in the
line of dead-colored brick. "You'll
find me here when you come back."
Audley court was not an attractive
locality. The narrow passage led us
into a quadrangle paved with flags and
lined by sordid dwellings. We picked
our way among groups of dirty chil
dren and through lines of discolored
linen until we came to No. 45, the
door of which was decorated with a
small slip of brass, on which the name
Kance was engraved. Km inquiry we
found that the constable was in bed.
and we were shown into a little front
parlor, to await his coming.
He appeared presently, looking a lit
tle irritable at being disturbed in his
slumbers. "I made my report at the
office," he said.
Holmes took a half-sovereign from
his pocket, and played with it pensively
"We thought that we should like to
hear it all from your own lips," he said.
"I shall be most happy to tell you
anything I can," the constable an
swered, with his eyes upon the little
golden disk.
"J ust let us near it an xn your own
way, as it occurred."
Ranee sat down on the horse-hair
sofa and knitted his brows, as though
determined not to omit anything in his
narrative.
"I'll tell it ye from the beginning,
he said. "My time is from ten at night
to six in the morning. At eleven there
was a fight at the White Hart; but, bar
that, all was quiet enough on the beat.

that all was right down - the Brix
ton road. It was precious dirty-and
lonely , Not a soul did I meet all the
way down,, though a cab or two went
past me. , I was a-strollin down,
thinkin between - ourselves how un
common handy a four of gin hot would
be, when suddenly a glint of a light
caught my eye in the window of .that
same house. Now, I knew that them
two houses in Lauristoxx gardens was
empty on account of him - that . owns
them, who won't have the drains seed
to, though the ' very last -tenant what
jived in one of them died o typhoid
fever. I was knocked all. in aheap,
therefore, at seeing a light in the win
dow, and I suspected as some thing was
wrong. When I got to the door " ?
.You stopped, and then walked back
to the garden gate," my companion in
terrupted. "What did you dothatfor?"4
Ranee gave' a : violent jump, and
stared at Sherlock Holmes with the ut
most amazement upon his features. .
"Why, that's true, sir," he said;
though how you" came to know it,
Heaven only loxawsl Ye - see. wheal
got up to the door, J t was so still and
so lonesome that I thought I'd be xxone
.the worse" for some one with : me. I
ain't af eared of anything on, this side
of the grave; Jrat I thought that maybe
y it was him that died o the typhoid in-
specting the drains what killed., him."
The thought gave me a kind d' tux-u,
and I walked back to the gate to see if
I could Bee Murcher's lantern, but there
wasn't no sign of him" nor of anyone
else. ; -
"There was no one in the street?"
"Not a livin soul, sir, nor as much as
a dog." Then I pulled myself together
and went back and pushed the door
open. AU was quiet inside, so 1 went
into the room where the light was
arburnin. There was a candle flickerin
on the mantle-piece a" red was one
and by its light I saw J , "
"Yes," I know alt that you saw. You

and jrou knelt down by the body, and
then you walked through and tried the
kitchen door, and then "
John Ranee sprang to his feet with a
frightened f face and suspicion in his
eyes. "Where was you"" hid to see all
that?" he cried. "It seems to me that
you . knows a deal more than you
should."
Holmes laughed, and threw his card
across the table to the . constable.
"Don't get arresting me for the mur
der," he said. "I am one of the hounds
and not the wolf; Mr. Gregson or Mr.
Ljestrade will answer for that. Go on,
though. What did you do next?"
Ranee resumed his seat, without.
however, losing his mystified expres
sion. "I went back to the gate and
sounded my whistle. That, brought
Murcher and two more to the spot.'
"Was the street empty then?"
"Well, it was, as far as anybody that
could be of any good goes."
"What do you mean?"
The constable's features broadened
into a grin. "I've seen many a drunk
chap in my time," he 6aid, "but never
anyone so cryin' drunk as that cove.
He was at the gate when I came out,
a-lcanin' up ag'n the railin's and
a-singin' at the pitch of his lungs
about Columbine's new-fangled ban
ner, or some- such stuff. He couldnt
stand, far less help."
"What sort of a man was he?" asked
Sherlock Holmes,
John Ranee appeared to be some
what irritated at this digression. "lie
was an uncommon drunk sort o' man,"
he said. "He'd ha' found hisself in the
station if we hadn't been so took up."
"His face his dress didn't you no
tice them?" Holmes broke in, impa
tiently. "I should think I did notice them,
seeing that I had to prop him up me
and Murcher between us. lie was a
long chap, with a red faco, the lower
part muffled round "
"That will do," cried Holmes. "What
became of him?"
"We'd enough to do without lookin'
after him," the policeman said, in aa
aggrieved voice. "I'll -wager he fouuJ
his way home all right."
"How was he drcssel?"
"A brown overcoat."
"Had he a whip in his hand?"
"A vhip no."
"lie must have left it behind," mut
tered my companion. "You didn't hap
pen to see or hear a cab after that?"
'No."
'There's a half sovereign for you."

taking his hat. "I ara afraid. Ranee.
that you will never rise in the force.
That head of yours should be for use
as well as ornament. You might have

night. The man whom you held in
your hands is the man who holds the

We started off for the cab together.
leaving our informant incredulous, but
obviously uncomfortable.
"The blundering fool!" Holmes said,
bitterly, as we drove back to our lodg
ings. "Just to think of his having
such an incomparable bit of good luck,
and not taking advantage of it."
"I am rather in the dark still. It is
true that the description of this man
tallies with your idea of the second
party in this mystery. But why
should he come back to the house after
leaving it? This is not the way of
criminals.

what he came back for. If we have

you for it all. I might not have gone but
for you, and so have missed the finest
study I ever came across; a study in

little art jargon? There's the scarlet
thread of murder running through the
colorless skein of life, and our duty
is to unravel it, and isolate it, and ex
pose every inch of it. And now for

wounded an antagonist. As long as
all these questions .-were nnaolred, I
Lfelt that sleep would . -beL ho "easy

Hi3 quiet, self-confident manner con
vinced me that he had already formed
a theory which explained all the facta.
though what it was I could not' for an
instant conjecture.
He was very late in returning so
late that I knew that the concert could
not have detained him all that time.
Dinner was on the table before he ap
peared. "It was magnificent," he said, as he
took his seat. "Do you remember
what Darwin says about music? He
claims that the power of producing and
appreciating it existed among the hu
man race long before the power of
speech was arrived at. Perhaps that
is why we are so subtly influenced by
it. There are vague memories in our
souls of those misty centuries when
the world was in its childhood."
"That's rather a broad idea," I re
marked. "One's ideas must be as broad as

he answered. "What's the matter?

"I ought to be more case hardened

"I can understand. There is a mys

imagination; where there is no imag

seen the evening paper?"
"No."
"It gives a fairly good account of the
affair. It does not mention the fact
that when the man was raised up a

Our- morning's exertions had been
too much for .myjwcak health, and
was tired out in the afternoon. After
HolmesT departure for the concert,
lay down upon the' sofa and endear
ored to get a couplo of hours' sleep. It
was a" useless attempt. My mind had
been too much excited by aU that had
occurred: and the., strangest fancies
and surmises crowded into it. Every
: time that I closed myeyes I saw be

countenance of the murdered man. - Ho

-face had produced" upon .me that . I

wedding ring, found in the roadway
between the White Hart tavern and
Holland grove. Apply Dr. Watson,
221b Baker street, between eight and
nine his evening."
"Excuse my using your name," he
said. "If I used my own some one of
these dunderheads would recognize it
and want to meddle in the affair."
"That is all," I answered? "But sup
posing anyone applies, I have no ring."
"Oh, yes, you have," said he, hand
ing me one. "This will do very welL
It is almost a fac-simile."
"And who do you expect will answer
this advertisement?"
"Why, the man in the brown coat
our florid, friend with the square toes.
If ho does not come himself he will
send an accomplice."
"Would he not consider it as too
dangerous?"
"Not at all. If my view of the case
is correct, and I have every reason to
believe that it is, this man' would
rather risk anything than lose the
ring. According to my notion he
dropped it while stooping over Dreb
ber's body, and did not miss it at the
time. After leaving the house he dis
covered his loss, and hurried back, but
found the police already in possession,
owing to his own folly in leaving the
candle burning. ' He had to pretend to
be drunk in order to allay th'e suspi
cions which might have been aroused
by his appearance at the gate. Now
put yourself in that man's place. On
thinking the matter over, it mu?t have ;
occurred to him that it was possible
that he had lost the ring in the road
after leaving the house. What would
he do then?. He Would eagerly look out
for the evening papers, in the hope of
seeing it among the articles . found.
His eye, of course, would light upon
this.' : He would be . overjoyed.: Why
, should he 'fear a trap? There would
be no reason in his eyes why the find

his shoulders when this little brown-
backed volume was struck oil."
"Who is the printer?"
"Philippe de Croy. whoever he msy
have been. On the fly-leaf, in very

olmi Whyte.' 1 wondered who Wil
liam Whyte was. Some pragmatical
seventeenth century lawyer, I sup
pose, ilis writing has a legal twist
about it. Here comes our man, I
think."
As he ppoke there was a sharp ring
at the bell. Sherlock Holmes rose
softly, and moved his chair in the di
rection of the door. Wo heard the
servant pass along the hall, and the
sharp click of the latch as she opened it.
"Does Dr. Watson live here?" asked
a clear but rather harsh voice. We
could not hear the servant's reply, but
the door closed, and someone began to
ascend the stair. The footfall was an
uncertain and shuffling one. A look of
surprise passed over the face of my
companion as he listened to it. I came
slowly along the passage, and there
was a feeble tap at the door.
"Come in!" I cried.
At my summons, instead of the man
of violence whom wo expected, a very
old and wrinkled woman hobbled Into
the apartment. She appeared to be
.dazzled by the sudden blaze of light,
and, after dropping a courtesy, she
stood blinking at us with her bleared
eyes and fumbling in her poeket with
nervous, shaky fingers. I glanced at
my companion, and his face had as
sumed such a disconsolate expreft&ion
that it was all I could do to keep my
countenance.
The old crone drew oat an evening
paper, and pointed at our advertise
ment. "It's this as has brought me.
good gentlemen," the said, dropping
another courtesy: "a gold wedding
ring in the Brixton road. It belongs
to my girl Sally, as was married only

husband is steward aboard a union

"Is that her ring?" I asked.
"The Lord be thanked!" cried the
old woman. "Sally will Iks a glad
woman this night. That's the ring."
"And what may your address be?"
I inquired, takiDg up a pencil.
"13 Duncan 6treet, Iloundsditch. A
weary way from here."
"The Brixton road does not lie be
tween any circus and Houndsditch,"
said Sherlock Holmes, sharply.
The old woman faced round aud
looked keenly at him from her little
red-rimmed eyes. "The gentleman
asked me for my address," she said.
"Sally lives in lodgings at 8 Mayfleld

"And your name is "
"My name is Sawyer bers la Dennis,

which will prevent the heavy
drain of former years to pay for
Western foodstuffs. Summing
up these reports, the Manufactu-
rer'a Record says:
'Tbey show that the whole
economic policy of Southern farm
interests is undergoing a change
and the credit system is being
superseded by a cash basis. The
low price of cotton for the . past
few years forced upon the farm
ers the necessity o raisiug their
own foodstuffs, and added to
this was the decision of bankers
and factors to advance much less
money on cotton than formerly.
The result has been a cbaugc that
for the time, while passing from
the credit with its buying to a
cash system requiring the closest
ecouoiny, there has been lees
trade with farmers, and hence a
decreased volume of general bus
iness in the South. But this has
