THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE


Sherlock Holmes and 1 surveyed this
curt announcement and the rueful face be.
hind it, until the comical side of the affair
so completely overtopped every other con-
sideration that we both burst out into a roar
of laughter.
''Prav what steps did you take when you
found the card upon the door," at last in
quired Holmes.
4 was staggered, sir. 1 did not know
what to do. Then 1 called at the Offices
around, but none of them seemed to know
anything about it. Finally 1 went to the
landlord, who is an accountant living on
the ground floor, and asked him if he could
tell me what had become of the Red-H Headed
League. He said that he had never heard OF
any such body. Then 1 asked him who Mr..
Duncan Ross was. He answered that the
name was new to him.
"'Well, said I, the gentleman at No. 4.
"'Oh,' said he, the red-headed man?
His name is William Morris. He was a
solicitor, and was using my room as tenn
porarv convenience until his new premises
were ready. Hemoved out yesterday to his
new offices, No. II King Edward street, near
St. PauHs.
sI started off, Mr. Holmes, but when I
got to that address it was manufactory of
artificial knee-caps, and no one in it had
ever heard OF either Mr. william MOTIFS or
Mr.. Duncan Ross, so l went home to SAKE
Coburg square, and took the advice of my
assistant. But he could not help me in any
way"
'iWell, Watson" said Holmes, when our
visitor had left us, "what do you make of it
alp"
81 make nothing of it." answered,
frankly. "It is a most mysterious busi-
ness"
'sThis business at Coburg square is seri-
ous," said Holmes; 81 shall want your help

NAV be some little danger, so kindly put
your army revolver in your pocket"
1t was 9:15 when 1 started from home and
made my way across the park, and so
through oxford street to Baker street.
Two hansoms were standing at the door,
and, as I entered the passage, heard the
sound of voices from above.
On entering his room found Holmes in
animated conversation with two men, one
of whom 1 recognized as Peter Jones, the
official police agent, while the other was a
long, thin, sad-faced man, with a very
shiny hat and oppressively respectable frock
coat.
"Ha! our party is complete" said
Holmes, buttoning up his peajacket and
taking his heavy hunting crop from the
rack. "Watson, 1 think you know Mr..

every afternoon I left by 2. By degrees Mr..
Duncan Ross took to coming in only once of
morning, and then, after a time, he did not
come in at all.
''Still, of course, 1 never dared to leave
the room for an instant, for I was not sure
when he might come, and the billet was such
a good one, and suited me so well, that 1
would not risk the loss of it.
Eight weeks passed away like this, and
had written about Abbots, and Archery,
and Armour, and Architecture and Attica,

thing in foolscap, and had pretty nearly

O'Clock, but the door was shut and locked,
with little square of cardboard hammered
on to the middle of the panel with tack.
Here it is, and you can read for yourself"
He held up piece of cardboard, about
the size of a sheet of notepaper. 1t read in
this fashion:

festivities was held in hollyhock garden
on Long Island. Tree hollyhocks, covered
with great white flowers with fruity red
pistils; bush hollyhocks with white flowers
scanned with pink and purple, and tall herb
hollyhocks. with vivid scarlet and crimson
blossoms, edged the paths and made bright
avenues.
Flowered muslins walked up and down
among the flowers, under broad garden hats
and broader and brighter parasols. Every
frock without exception was made in the
simplest fashion, with broad ribbons at neck
or belt to relieve the Dolly Warden effect,
or, as often happened, to make it more no.
ticeable. A pink and brown lowered Or
candle was one of the costumes of which
notes were made. Velvet to match the
brown was laid in narrow ribbon stripes
about the skirt and made the peasant bodice.
Velvet ribbons banded the light yellow hair
in fillet fashion. Bronze slippers were worn
with bronze stockings
Surely soon there will be no single field of
effort left untrodden by the daring foot of
the end-of-the-century maiden Quite q
sensation was caused by Miss Leale's fairly
successful shooting at "the new Wimble-
don"-Bisley Camp England. She did not
win the prize for which she competed. She
made 90 points as against highest score of
sc; while there were several mems scores
standing at all the figures intervening.
Nevertheless she is considered to have done
remarkably WELL considering that she was
shooting with the Martini-H Henry rife) in
a competition open to all the crack shots of
the kingdom. The novelty of the sight of a
young and pleasant-looking lady shooting
for prize drew crowds of spectators; and,
as in every instance of a new achievement
by woman, some men generously admired
her skill, and were pleased with her success,
while others openly expressed their un-
willingness to have their masculine supe-
riority put to practical test. Miss Leale
wants to shoot for the blue riband of the
butts, the Queens Prize; but before she
can do so it seems she must raise, equip and
get recognition for a regiment of female
volunteers! Only ''effioients'' in the recog-
nized volunteer corps ranks are allowed to
join in the competition for the Queens
Prize. Miss Leale comes from Guernsey.
For lady to be goodlshot is by no
means a novelty; it is only the surrounding
conditions that have given Miss Leale such
notoriety. For instance, the lady who
would, but for certain little historical incl
dents, be now the Queen of France-the
Comtesse de Paris--is quite crack shot.

= There is no point on which authorities on
this extremely important subject differ
more than on the use of grease for the face.
Some of them say that it is fatal practice;
and, of course, it seems, as amatter of logic,
that it must be injurious to fill the pores of
the skin with fat But, then, on the other
hand, the skin has in itself natural fat,
which does more or less come to the sur
face; and experience seems to show that
very often an addition to this natural sup
ply does nothing but good The most strik-
ing illustration that we all of us know of a
lovely complexion remaining unippaired to

AS relief for oppressed and crowded
housekeepers who must live in flats,
wouldn't it be good idea to include in the
build ing of the modern apartment house a
recess of suitable size into which a paneled
frame, with suitable machinery for raising
and lowering, folding beds should be fitted.
This frame would answer the purpose of
bedstead, into which an ordinary woven
wire mattress could be fastened with bolts.
The dread of the average fat-dweller is the
bed problem, and if in rooms intended for
sleeping apartments there could be these
frames, forming a part of the building, it
would be as great convenience as the sta
tionary range.

Moore made this remark to me recently as 1

that the use of nice ''cream" is good for the
