eay," if remarked, "we have reason to
lielieve that the matter promises to be
even more complex, and mysterious
than was originally supposed". Fresh
evidence has shown that it. is quite im
possible that Mr. Thaddeus Sholto
could have been in any way concerned
in the matter. He and the house
keeper, Mrs. Bernstone. were both re
leased yesterday evenipg-. It is be
lieved, however, that the police have a
clew to the real culprits, and that it is
being prosecuted by Mr. Athelney
.Jones, of Scotland Yard, with all his
well-known energy and sagacity. Fur
ther arrests may be expected at any
moment."
"That is satisfactory so far as it
eoes," thought I. "Friend Sholto is
safe at any rate. I wonder what the
fresh clew may be; though it seems to
be a stereotyped form whenever the
police have made a blunder."
I tossed the paper down upon the ta
ble, but at that moment my eye caught
an advertisement in the agony column.
It ran in this way: .
"Lost. Whereas Mordecai Smith,
boatman, and his son Jim left Smith's
wharf at or about three o'clock last
Tuesday morning in the steam launch
funne' black with " a-white band, the
Bum of five pounds will be paid to any
one who can give information to Mrs.
Smith, at Smith's wharf, or at 221 b
Uaker street, as to the' whereabouts of
the said Mordecai Smith and the
launch Aurora.'-'
This was clearly Holmes' doing. The
Uaker 6treet address was enough to
prove that. It struck me as rather in
genious, lecause it might be read by
the fugitive's without their seeing in it
more than the natural anxiety of a
wife for her missing husband.
It was a long day. Every time that
a knock came to the door, or a. sharp
step passed in the street. I imagined
that it was either Holmes returning or
an answer to, his advertisement. I
tried to read, but my thoughts would
wander off to our strange quest and to
the -ill-assorted and villainous pair
whom 'we were pursuing. Could
there be, ' I wondered, some radi
cal flaw in my companion's reason
ing? Might he -be suffering -from
some huge self-deception? Was it "not
possible that his nimble and specu-
lative mind had built up this .wild
theory upon faulty .premises?' I had
never known him to be wrong; and yet
Vi1 Lccne.-.t t-easoner may occasionally
be deceived. He was likely, I thought,
to fall into error, through the over
refinement of his logic his preference
for a subtle and bizarre explanation
when a plainer and " more common
place one lay ready to his hand. Yet,
on the other hand, I had myself seen
the evidence, and I had heard the rea
sons for his deductions. When I locked
back on the long chain of curious cir
cumstances, many of them trivial in
themselves, but all tending in the same
direction, I could . not disguise from
myself that even if Holmes' explana
tion were incorrect the true theory
must be equally outre and startling.
At three o'clock In the. afternoon
there was a loud peal at the bell, an
authoritative voice in the hall, and, to
try surprise, no less a person than Mr.
Athelney Jones was shown up to me.
Very different was he, however, from
the brusque and masterful professor of
common sense who had taken over the
case so confidently at Upper Norwood.
His expression was downcast, and his
.bearing meek and even apologetic.
"Good day, sir; good day," said he.
v "Mr. Sherlock Holmes is out, I under
stand." "Yes, and I cannot be sure when he
will be back. But perhaps, you would
care to wait. Take that chair and try
. one of these cigars."
"Thank .you; I don't.-inind if I do,"
6aid he, mopping his face with a red
bandanna handkerchief.
"And a whisky-and-soda?"
"Well, half a glass. It is very hot
for the time of ye'ar; and I have had a
good deal to worry and try me. You
know my theory about this Norwood
case?"
"I remember that you expressed
one."
"Well, I have been obliged to recon
sider it. I had mv net drawn tightly
round Mr. Sholto, sir,, when pop he went
through a hole in the middle of it. He
was able to prove an alibi which could
not be shaken. From the time that he
left his brother's room he was never
out of sight of some one or other. So
it could not be he who climbed over
roofs and through trap-doors It's a
very dark case, and my professional
credit is at stake. I should be very glad
of a little assistance."
. "We all need help sometimes," said I.
"Your friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
is a wonderful man, sir," said he. in a
husky and confidential voice. "He's a
man who is not to be beat. I have
kpown that young man go into a good
: many cases, but I never saw the case
yet that he could not throw a llghv
tipon. He is irregular in his methods,
. and a little quick, perhaps, in jumping
at theories, but, on the whole. I think
he would ha;e made a most promising

stopped, as though the climb was too
much for him, but at last he made his

which we had heard. lie was ai aged
man, clad in seafaring gaib, with an
old -pea jacket buttoned up to his
throat. His back was bowed, -his knees
were shaky, and his breathing was
painfully asthmatic. As he leaned
upon a thick oaken cudgel his shoul

into his lungs. He had a colored scarf
round his chin, and J could see little of

long gray side-whiskers. Altogether
he gave me the impression of a re
spectable master marriner -who had
fallen into years and poverty.'
"What is it, my man?" I asked.
lie looked about him in the slow me
thodical fashion of old age.
"Is Mr. Sherlock Holmes here?" said
he.
"No; but I am acting for him. You
can tell me any message you have for
him7" ' - .
"It vas to him himself I was to tell
it," said he.
"But I tell you that I am acting for
him. Was'ifl about Mordecai Smith's
boat?"
"Yes. I know well vhere it is. An
I knows where the men he is after are.
An' I knows where the treasure is. I
knows all about it."
"Then tell me, and I shall let him
know."
"It was to him' I was to tell it," he
repeated, with the petulant obstinacy
of a very old jman. ,
"Well, you must wait for him."
"No, no; I ain't goin' to lose a whole
day to please no one. if Mr. Holmes
ain't here, then Mr. Holmes must find
it. all out for himself. I don't care
about the look of either of you, and I
won't tell a word."
He shuffled towards the door, but
Athelney Jones got in front of him.
- "Wait a bit, my friend," said he.
"You have important information, and
you must not walk off. We shall keep
you, whether you like or not, until our
friend returns."
The old ma n made a little run to
wards the door, but, as Athelney Jonys
put his broad back up against it, he
recognized the nselessnessof resistance.
"Pretty sort o' treatment this!" he
cried, stamping his stick. "I come here
to see a gentleman, and you two, who
I never saw in my life, seize no and
treat me in this fashion!"
"You will be none the worse," I said.
"We shall recompense you for the loss
of j our time. Sit over here on the
sofa, and you will not have long to
wait."
He came across sullenly enough, and
seated himself with hj.-s face resting on
his hands. Jones and I resumed our
cigars and our tsilk.- Suddenly, how
ever. Holmes' voice broke in upon us.
"I think that you might offer me a
cigar, too," he said.
We both started in our chairs. There
-was Holmes sitting close to us with an
air of quiet amusement.
"Holmes!'' I exclaimed. "You here!
But where is the old man?"
"Here is the old man," said he, hold
ing out a heap of white hair. "Here
he is wig. whiskers, eyebrows, and
' all. I thought my disguise was pretty
good, but I hardly expected that it
would stand that test."
"Ah. you rogue! " cried Jones, highly
delighted. "You would have made an
actor, and a rare one.' Yon had the
proper wf.rkhouse cough, and those
weak legs of jours ure worth ten
pound a week. I thought I knew the
glmt of j-our eye, though. You didn't
get away from us so easily, vou see."
"it have been working in that get-up
ail daj-, said he, lighting his cigar.
"You see, a good many of the criminal
classes Wgin to know me especially
since our friend here took to publish
ing some of mj cases; so I can only go
on tne warpath under some simple dis
guise like this. You got my wire?"
- nioi was wnur. i;rougtil me
here.
"How has vour case prospered?"
"It has all come to nothing. I hav
had to release two of mj- prisoner's, and
there is no evidence against the other
two."
"Never mind. ?e shall give you two
others in the place of them. But you
must put yourself under my orders.
You aro welcome to all the official
credit, but yon, must act on the lines
that I point out. Is that agreed?"
"Entirely, if you will help me to the
men."
"Well, then, in the first place I shall
want a fast police-boat a steam launch
to be at the Westminster" Stairs at
seven o'clock." '
"That is easily managed. There is
always one about there; but I can step
across the road and telephony? to make
sure."
"Then I shall want two stanch men,
in case of resistance." .
"There will be two or three in the
boat. What else?"
"When we secure the men we shall
get the treasure. I think that it would
be a pleasure to my friend here to take
the box round to the young lady to
whom halfof it rightfully belongs.
Let her be the first to open it. Eh,
Watson?"
"It would be a ereat pleasure to
me."
"Rather an irregular proceeding,"
said Jops, shaking- hy ".'r;
ever, the whole thing- is irregular, and
I suppose we must wink at it. The
treasure must afterwards be handed
over to the authorities until after the
official investigation."
"Certainly. That is easily managed.
One other point. I honll lik.- ranch
to h:;ve a few details about this matter
fr m the lips of Jonathan Small him-solf-
You know I like to work the de
tail of my cases out. There is no ob
jection to my having an unofficial in
terview with him either here in my
l-oo-cs or elsewhere., as long as he is ef
ficiency guarded?"
"Well, you are master of the situa
tion. I have had no proofs yet of
the existence of Jonathan Small. How
ever, if you can catch him, I don't see
how I can refuse you an interview with
him."
"That is understood, then?"
"Perfectly. Is there anything else?"
"Only that I insist upon your dining
with us. It will be ready in half an
hour. I have oysters and a brace of
grouse, with something a little choice
in white wine. Watson, you have never
j et recognized my merits as a house
keeper." CHAPTER X.
THE END OF THE ISLANDER.
Our meal was a merry lone. Holmes
could talk exceedingly well when he
chose, and that night he did choose,
lie appeared-to be in a state of nerv
ous exaltation I have never known
him so brilliant. He spoke on a quick
succession of subjects, on miracle
plays, on medieval pottery, on Stradi
varius violins, on the Buddhism of Cey
lon, and on the warships of the fu
ture handling each as though he had
made a special study of it. Ilis bright
humor marked the reaction from his
black depression of the preceding days.
Athelney Jones proved to be a sociable
soul in his hours of relaxation, and
faced his dinner with theoair of a bon
vivant. For rttyfeelf, I felt elated at
tLe thought that we were nearing the
end of our task, and I caught some
thing of Holmes' gayety. None of us
alluded during dinner to the caut
which had brought us together.
When the cloth was cleared Holmes
glanced at his watch and filled up
three glasses with port. "One
bumper," said he, "to the success of
our little expedition. And now it is
high time we were off. Have you a
pistol, Watson?"
I have my old service revolver in
iny desk."
"You had best take it, then. It is
well to be prepared. I see the cab Is
at the door. I ordered it for half -past
six."
It was a little past seven before we
reached the Westminster wharf and
found our, launch awaiting us. .Holmes
eyed it criticallj.
"Is there anj-thing to mark it as a
police boat?"
"Yes that green lamp at the side."
"Then take it off." ,
The small change was made, we
stepped on board, and the ropes were

two burly police inspectors forward.
"Where to?" asked Jones.
"To the tower. Tell them to stop
oposite to Jacobson s j-ard.
Our craft was evidently a very fast
one. We shot past the long lines of
loaded barges as though they were sta
tionary. - Holmes smiled with satisfac
tion as we overhauled a river steam
er and left her behind us.
"We ought to be able to catch any
thing on the river," he said.
"Well, hardly that. But there are
not many launches to beat us."
"We shall have to catch the Aurora,
and she has a name for being a clipper.
I will tell you how the land lies, Wat
son. You recollect how annoyed I was
at being balked by so small a thing?"
"Yes."
"Well, I gave my mind a thorough
rest by plunging into a chemical
analysis. One of our greatest states
men has said that a change of worfc is
the best rest. So it is. When I had
succeeded in dissolving the hydrocar
bon which I was at work at, I came
back to our problem of the Sholtos, and
thought the whole matter out again.
My boys had been up the
river and down the river - without
result. The launch was not at
any landing stage or wharf, nor had it
returned. Yet it could hardly have
been scuttled to hide their traces
though that always remained as a pos
sible hypothesis if all else filcd. I
knew that this man Small haa a cer
tain degree of low cunning, but I did
not think him capable of anything in
the nature of delicate finesse. That is
usually a product of higher education.
I then reflected that since he had cer
tainly been in London some time a;
we had evidence that he maintained c
continual watch over Pondicherrj
lodge he could hardly leave at a mo
ment's notice, but would need some
little time, if it were only a day, to
arrange his affairs. That was the bal
ance of probability, at any rate."
"It seems to me to be a little weak,"
said I. "It is more probable that he
had arranged his affairs before ever he
set out upon his expedition."

of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the
intelligent families who do not keep Castoria
