. His intention had been to oe aosent
a year tct the most, but a combination
of unforeseen circumstances prevented
his leaving- the mines for nearly five.
At the end of thatHime, however, his
memory -of his wrongs and his cravings
ii ,1 -Fv;
i(l .'ill uUDiiJC ujivb, w uiiuu r1"1 rceujft; were quite as Keen as on
l.siueod connected with my j that memorable night when he had
stood by John Terriers grave. Dis
guised, and under &n assumed name,
be returned to Salt Bake City, careless
what became of his own life, as long
as he obtained what he knew to be
justice. , There he found evil tidings
awaiting' him. ."There had been a
schism among' the Cho'sen People a few
months' before, some of the younger
members of the church having rebelled
against the authority of the elders."
and the result had been the secession"
of a certain number of the malcon
tents, who had left Utah and become
Gentiles. Among these had been
Drebber and Stangerson: and no one
knew whither they had gone. Rumor
reported that Drebber had managed to
convert a large 'part of his property
into money, and.that he had departed
a wealthy man, while his companion,
Stangerson, was comparatively ;poor.
There was no clew at all, however, as
to their whereabouts.
Many a man, however vindictive,
would have abandoned all thought of
revenge in the face of such a difficulty,
but Jefferson Hope never faltered fora
moment. With the small competence
he possessed, eked out by such employ
ment as he could pick up, he traveled
from town to town through the United
States in quest of his enemies. Year
passed into year, his black hair turned
grizzled, but still he wandered on, a
human bloodhound, with his mind
wholly set upon the one object upon
which he had devoted his life. At last
his perseverance was rewarded. It was
but one glance of a face in a window,
but that one glance told him that Cleve
land, in Ohio, possessed the men whom
he was in pursuit of. He returned to
his miserable lodgings with his plan of
vengeance all arranged, It chanced,
however, that Drebberv looking from
his window, bad recognized the va
grant in the street, andliad read mur
der in his eyes. He hurried before a
justice of the peace, accompanied by
Stangerson, who had become his pri
vate secretary, anc represented to him
that they were in danger of their lives
from the jealov.sy and hatred of an old
rival. That evening Jefferson Hope
was taken into custody, and not being
able to find sureties was detained for
some weeks. When at last he was lib
erated, it was only to find that Dreb
ber's house was deserted and that he
and his secretary had departed for Eu-

Again ihe avenger had been foiled,
and again his 'concentrated hatred
urged him . to continue the pursuit.
Funds were wanting, however, and
for some time he had to return to
work, saving every dollar fcr his ap
proaching journey. At lant, having
collected enough to keep life in him,
he departed for Europe and tracked
his enemies from city to city, -worlting
his way in any menial capacity, but
never overtaking Use fugitives. When
he reached St. Petersburg they had de
parted for l'aris;" and when he fol
lowed thein there he learned that they
had just set off for Copenhagen. At
the Danish capital he was again a few
days late, for they had journeyed on to
London, where he at last succeeded in
running them to earth. As to what
occurred there, we cannot do better
than quote the old hunter's own ac
count, as duly recorded in Dr. Watson's
journal, to which we are already under
such obligations.
meantime, Mr. Jefferson uope, nave
j yon anything that j on wislf to say? I
must warn you that your.words will be
. taken down and may be against
j yon- -
' "I've got a good deal "to Bay," onr
prisoner said slowly. -"I want to tell
yon gentlemen all about it."
"Hadn-'t yon betterjserve that for
your trial?' asked the inspector.
"I may never be tried," he answered.
"Yon needn't look startled. It isn't
suicide I am thinlring of. Are you a
doctor?" He turned his fierce, dark eyes
upon me as he asked this last question.
"Yes, I am," I answered.
"Thea put your hand here," he said,
with a smile, motioning with his.
manacled wrists toward his qhest.
I did so, and became at "once con
scious of an extraordinary throbbing
which was going on ins(23 The walls
ofMs chest seemed to thrill and quiver
as"a frail building would do inside
which some powerful engine was at
work. - In the silence of the room I
could hear a dull itnrnxaing and buz
zing noise which proceeded from the
feame source.
'"Why," I cried, "you have an aortic
aneurism!"
"That's what they call it," he said,
placidly. "I went to a doctor last
week about it, and he told ma that it
was bound to burst before many days
passed. It has been getting worse for
years. I got it from over-exposure
and under-feeding among the Salt lake
mountains. I've done my work now,
and I don't care how soon I go, but I
should like to leave some account of
the business behind me. I don't want
to be remembered as a common cut-thi-oat."
The inspector and tne two detectives
had a hurried discussiou a.j to the ad
visability of allowing him to tell nis
story.
"Do you consider, doctor, that there
is immediate danger?" the former
asked.
"Most certainly there is," I an
swered. "In that case it is clearly our duty.
in the interests of justice, to take his
statement," said the inspector. "You
are at liberty, sir, to give your ac
count, which I again warn you will ba
taken down."
"I'll sit down, with your leave," the
prisoner said, suiting the action to the
word. "This aneurism of mine makes
me easily tired, and the tussle we had
half an hour ago has not mended mat
ters. I'm on the brink of the grave,
and I am not likely to lie to you.
Every word I say is the absolute truth,
and how you use it is a matter of no
consequence to me."
With these words. Jefferson Hope
leaned back in his chair and began the
following remarkable statement, lie
spoke in a calm and methodical man- j
ner, as though the events-which he i
narrated were commonplace enough.
I can vor.ch for the accuracy of the
subjoined account, for 1 have had ac
cess to Lestrade's note-book, in which
the prisoner's words were taken down
exactly as they were uttered.
"It don't much matter to you why 1
hated these men," he said;, "it's enough
that they were guilty of the death of
two human beings a father and a
daughter and -,hat they hnd. there
fore, forfeited their own lives. A iter
the lapse of time that, has passed since
their crime, it was imojssihlo for me
to secure a conviction against them in
any court. I knew of their puilt,
though, and I determined that I should
be judge, jury and executioner all
rolled into one. You'd hare done the
same, if you have anj' manhood in you,
if you had been in my place.
"That girl that I spoke of was to
have married me twenty years ago.
She was forced into marrying thit
same Drebber, and broke her heart
over it. I took the marriage ring from
her dead finger and I vowed that hi3

and early, but never saw the trhoat of a

something told me that the hour had

this thing in my chest might burst a
little too soon and leave my work undone.-

brought out, and after a fame Drebber
and Stangerson followed it ana drejfe
off. I whipped up my horse and hept
within Sight of them, feeling ill at
ease, for I feared that they Were going
to shift their quarters. At Eus'.on
station they got out, and 1 left a
boy to hold my horse and followed
them on to the platform. I heard them
ask for the Liverpool train, and the
guard answer that one had just gone
and that there would not be another
fcr some hours. Btangerson seemed to
be put out at that, but Drebber was
rather pleased than otherwise. 1 got
so close to them in the bustle that !
could hear every word that passed be
tween them. Drebber said that he had
a little business of his own to do, and
that if th other would wait for him he
would soon rejoin him. 11 is companion
remonstrated with him. and reminded
him that they had resolved to stick to
gether. Drebber answered that the
matter was a delicate one. and that he
must go alone. 1 could not catch what
Stangerson said to that, but the other
burst out swearing, and reminded him
that he was nothing more than his
paid servant, and that he must not pre
sume to dictate to him. On that the
secretary gave it up as a bad job. and
simply bargained with him that if he
i missed the last train he should rejoin
i him at Halliday's private hotel; to
j which Drebber answered that he would
i be biick on the platform before eleven,
j and made his way out of the station.
"The moment for which I had waited
i so long had at last come. I had my
enemies within my power. Together
i they could protect each other, but
i singly they were at my mercy. I did
not act, however, with undue precip-
itatiou. Jiv plans were already
! formed. There is no satisfaction in
vengeance unless tne orrenuer has
time to realize who it is that strikes
him. and why retribution has come up
on him. 1 had my plans arranged by
which 1 should have the opportunity
of making the man who had wronged
me nnderttand that his old sin had
found him out. It chanced that some
days before a gentleman who had been
engaged in looking over some h-ms
and the time had now come when. I

"I t was rearer one than twelve, and

outside, I was glad within to glad

pure exultation. If ar J of you gentle
men hare ever pined for a tiling and
longed fcr it during twenty loegj ears,
and then suddenly found it within

to 6toady my nerves, but my hands
were trembling and my temples throb
bing with excitement- As I drove, I
could see old John I'errier and sweet

- CHAPTER 'L
A CONTINUATION OF THE UE.tfINlSCENCS3 OF
s JOHN H. WATSON, M D.
Onr prisoner's furious resistance did
not apparently indicate any ferocity
in his disposition toward ourselves, for
on finding1 himself powerless he smiled
in an affable manner, and 'expressed
his hopes that he had not hurt any of
us m the scuffle. "I guess you re go
ing; to take me to the police station,"
he remarked to Sherlock Ilolmes. "My
cab's at the door. If you'll loose my
leg's I'll walk down to it. I'm not so
liffht to lift as I used to be."
Greg'son and Lestrade exchanged
glances as if they thought this propo
sition rather a bold one; but Holmes
at once took the prisoner at his word,
and loosened the towel which he had
bound round his ankles." He rose and
stretched his legs, as though to assure
himself that they were free once more.
I remember that I thought to myself.
as I eyed him, that I had -seldom seen
a more powerf ally built man; and his
dark, sunburned face bore an expres
sion of determination and energy
which was as formidable as his person
al strength.
"If there's a vacant place for a chief
of the police, I reckon you are the man
for it," he said, gazing with undis
guised admiration at my fellow-lodger.
"The way you kept on my trail was a
caution."
"You had better come with me,"
said Holmes to the two detectives.
"I can drive you," said Lestrade.
"Good! and Gregson can come inside
with me. You too, doctor", you have
taken an interest in the case, and may
as weU stick to us."
:. I assented gladly, and we all de
scended, together. .Our prisoner made
no attempt " at escape, bat "-stepped
calmly into the cab .which had been
his, and we followed him" Lestrade
mounted the. box, whipped np tho
horse, and brought us in a very short
time to our'; destination. We .were
entered Into a small chamber, where
j rpolh inspector.! noted down our
prisoner's name and the names of
the men with whose murder he had
been charged. The ofneial was a
white-faced,' unemotional " man-'wbo
went thrpnga liis duties in. ,a dnll,1 me
chanical way. "The prisoner will be
put?' before ,the magistrates tin 1 the
course Qt the week," bo said: "intho
dying eyes should rest upon that very j which he had boarded,
ring and that his last thoughts should imagine what his intenti
be of the crime for which he wars pun
ished. I have carried it about with me
and have followed him and his ac
complice over two continents until I
caught them. They thought to tire
me out, but they could not do it. If I
die to-morrow, as is likely enough, I
die knowing that my. work in this
world is done, and well done. They
have perished, and by my hand. There
is nothing left for me to hope for or to
desire.
"They were rich and I was poor, so
that it was n easy matter for me to
follow them. When I got to London
my pocket was about empty and I
found that I must turn my hand to
something for my living. Driving and
riding are as natural to me as walk--ing,
so I applied at a cab owner's office
and soon got employment. I was-to
bring a certain sum a week to the
owner, and whatever was over that I
might keep for myself. There was-sel-dom
much over, but I managed to
scrape along somehow. The hardest
job was to learn my way about, for I
reckon that of all the maes that ever
were contrived this city is the most
confusing. I had a map beside me,
though, and when once I'had spotted
the principal hotels and stations I got
on pretty well. 1
"It was some time before I found out
where my two gentlemen were living,
but I inquired end inquired, until at
last I dropped jicross them. They were
at a boarding'-hpuse at Camberwell,
over on the other side of the river.
When once I fonnd them out I knew
that I had them at my mercy. I had
grown my beard and there was no
chance of their recognizing me. I
would dog them and follow them until
, I saw my opportunity. -1 was deter
tninedfcat they should not escape me
again. . ..
" "They were very near doing it, for
all. that."" Go wherfr they would abont
London I was always' at their heels.
Sometimes Lfoilowed them on my cab
ana sometimes on foot, but the former
was the best, for then they could not
get away .from me. It was only early
in the morning or late at night that I
could Tearn anything, so that I began
to sret behindhand with my employer.

as, I could lay my hand ; upQn the men

was claimed that same evening and re
turned: but in the interval I had taken
a moulding of it, and had a dtrpKcate j
constructed. Uy means of this I had j
accjs to at least one r.pot in t';is great j
city where I could rely upon beir.
free frcm interruption. How to fret
Drebber to that house was the did- :
cult problem which 1 had now to solve.
"lie walked down the road and went
into one or two liquor-shops, staying
for nearly half an hour in tho last of
them. When he came out he fctagercd
in his walk, aud was evidently pretty j
well on. There was a hansom just in
front of me, and he hailed it. 1 fol- ;
lowed it so close that the nose of my
horse was within a yard of his driver
the whole way. We rattled across Ya
j terloo bridge and through miles of
j streets, until, to my astonishment, we '
; found ourselves back in the terrace in j

pulled up my cab a hundred j-ards or
so from the house. He entered it and i

mouth gets dry with the talking."
I handed him the glass and he drank j
it down. I
"That's better," he said. "Well. I
waited for a quarter of an hour or
more, whpn suddenly there came a
noise like people struggling inside the
house. Next moment the door was
flung open and two men appeared, one
of whom was Drebber, and the other
was a young chap whom I had never
seen before. This fellow had Drebber
by the collar, and when they came to
the head of the steps he gave him a
shove and a kick which sent him half
across the road. 'You hound!" he cried,
shaking his stick at him; 'I'll teach you
to insult an honest girl I' He was so
hot that I think he would have
thrashed Drebber with his cudgel, only
that the cur staggered away down the
road as fast as his legs" would carry
him He ran as far as the corner, and
V- then, seeing my cab, he hailed me and
jumped in.. 'Drive me to Ualliday a
private hotel,' said he.
"When I had him fairly inside my
cab my heart jumped so with joy that
I feared lest at this last moment my
aneurism might go wrong. 1 drove
along slowly, weighing in myown mind
what it was btSst to do. I might take
him right out into the country, and
there in some deserted lane have my
last interview with him. I had almost
decided upon this, when he solved the
problem for me. The Craze for drink
had seized him again, and he ordered
me to pull np outside a gin palace. Ue
went in, leaving word that I should
wait for him. There he remained un
til closing-time, and when he came out
he was so far gone that" I knew the
game was in my own hands.
"Don't imagrae - that I intended to
kill him in cold blood. - It would onlr
have beim rigid justice it I nad done
so, but I could not bring myself to do
it. I had long determined that he
should have a show fo his life if be
chose to take-advantage of it Among
the nian billets which have filled In
America during my wandering life, I

striking' a match and puttinp it to a
wax candle which I had brought with '
me. 'Now, Enoch Drebber,' I con- i
tinued. turning to him, and holding ;
the light to my own face: 'Who am.l?' ,
"lie gazed at me wih bleared, X
drunken eyes for i moment, &nd then 1
I saw a horror spriDg np in them and
convulse his whole features, which i
showed me that he knew me. He
staggered back with a livid face, and
I saw the perspiration break ont npon
his brow, while his teeth chattered. ;
At the 6ight I leaned my back against
the door and laughed loud and long. I !
had always known that vengeance !
would be sweet, but had never hoped t
for the contentment of soul which now
possessed me.
" 'You dog!' I said; 'I have hunted
you from Salt Lake City to St. Peters
burg, and you have always escaped
me. Now at last your wanderings
have come to an end, for either you or
I I shall never see to-morrow's sun rise.'
i He shrank still farther away as I
spoke, and I could t.ee on his face that
he thought I was mad. So I was for
the time. The pulses in my temples
beat like 6ledge-hammer&, and I be- i
lieve I would have had a fit of some 1
sort if the blood had not gushed from
my nose and relieved me.
" 'What do you think of Lucy Fer
rier now? I cried, locking the door
and shaking the key in his face. 'Pun
ishment has been slow in coming, but
it has overtaken you at last.' I w
his coward lips tremble as I cpoke.
Ee would have begged for his life, but
he knew well it was useless.
'Would you murder me?' he stam
mered. " 'There Is no murder,' I answered.
'Who talks of murdering a mad dog?
What mercy bad you upon my poor
darling when you dragged her from
her slaughtered father and bore her
away to your accursed and shameless
harem?
" It was not I who killed her father,
he cried. - - 1
"TJut It was you who broke her In
nocent heart, I shrieked, thrusting
the box before, him. 'Let the" high
God judge between us. Choose and
eat. There la death id one and life In
the other. . 1 shall take what you
leave. Let ns see If , there is justice
upon the earth, or if we are ruled l-j
