He returned in a few seconds enveloped in an ulster and a cravat. "11! follow her," he said, hurriedly; "she must be an accomplice, and will lead me to him. Wait up for me." The hall door had hurriedly skimmed be hind our visitor before Holmes had de scended the stair. Looking through the window 1 could see her walking feebly along the oi lier side, while her pursuer dogged her some little dis tance behind. "Kithcr his whole the ory is incorrect." I thought to myself, "or else he? will be led nv to the heart of the mystery." There was no need for him to ask me to wait up for him. for I felt that sl;ep was impossible until I heard the result of li is adven ture. It was close upon nine when he set out. I had no idea how long he might be, but I sat stolidly purling at my pipe and skipping over the pages of Henri Mtirger's "Vie de lioheme." Ten o'clock passed, and I heard the foot and departed to r.u don station witn the avowed intention of catching the Liverpool expresa. They wore after- ' ward seen together on the plat, rm !

The dep tiin and ha tred of liberalism w'.rc'i animate. i the continental governments had had the effect of driving to our shores a numb, r of men who might have made excellent citizens were they not soured bv the "You do me too much honor," said Holmes gravely "Lot us hear how you arrived ut tnis most gratifying re sult." The detective s-eated himself in the arm-chair and puffed complacently at his cigar Then buddenly he slapped ' his thigh in a paroxysm of arnusem i.t " The fun of it Ls," he cried, "that that fool Lestmde, who thinks himself to smart, has gone off upon the wrong track altogether, lie is alter the sec retary. Stangcrson, who had no more to do with the crime than the babe un born. I have no doubt that he has caught him by this time." The idea tickled tire;.- ;on so much that he laughed until he clinked.

I cried, in amazement, "that that tottering, fee ble old woman was able to get out ot the cab while it was in motion, with out either you or the driver seeing her?" "Old woman be d d!" said Sherlock Holmes, sharply. "YVe were the old women to be so taken in. It must have been a young man, and an active one. too, besides being an .incomparable ac tor. The get-up was inimitable. He saw that he was followed, no doubt, and used this means of giving me the slip. It shows that the man we are after is not as lonely as I imagined he was. but has friends who are ready to risk something for him. Now, doctor, you are looking done-up. Take my ad vice and turn in." I was certainly feeling very weary, so I obeyed his injunction. I left Holmes seated in front of the smolder ing lire, and long into the watches of the night I heard the low, melancholy wailings of his violin, and knew that he was still pondering over the strange problem which he had set himself to unravel. ltin k ! i s- ..net HAVE YOT- FOUND IT, Wli. : I N S 'it. downstairs like '-,) ma; heart", their shrill voie of you must wait in the street.
