CHAPTER VII
THE CONCLUSION.

We had all been warned to appear
before the magistrates upon the Thurs
day; but when the Thursday came
there was no occasion for our testi-
mony. A higher Judge had taken the
| matter in hand, and jefferson Hope
had been summoned before n tribunal
| where strict justice would be meted
| out to him. On the very night after
| his capture the aneurism burst, and he
was found in the morning stretched
upon the floor of the cell, with n placid
smile upon his face, as though he had
been able in his dying moments to
look back upon n useful life and on
work well done.
''Gregson and Lestrade will be wild
about his death" Holmes remarked, as
we chatted it over next evening.
Where will their grand advertisement
be now?"
II don't see that they had very much
to do with his capture" l answered.
What you do in this world is n mat
ter of no consequence" returned my
companion, bitterly. The question is,
what can you make people believe that
you have done? Never mind" he con-
tinued more brightly, after a pause,'I
would not have missed the investiga-
ton for anything. There has been no
better case within my recollection.
Simple as il was, there were several
most instructive points about it,"
"Simple" | calculated.
well, really, il can hardly be de-
scribed as otherwise" said Sherlock
Holmes, smiling ut my surprise. THE
proof of its intrinsic simplicity is that

binary deductions, was able to lay
my hand upon the criminal within

Inconsistent Creatures.

A girl never marries her ideal. One
reason Is that she seldom finds him,
and when she does she doesn't like him.
Another reason is, the material man is
so dreadfully unlike the one of her inn
agination. A girl is an inconsistent
creature, anyway. AS sure as she fash
ions the idol of her minds eye as a
great, fierce, black mustached, brig
'andish-looking individual, the end will
be promise to love and obey some
meek, freckled, red-haired person who
cannot forget his affection for choco-
late caramels and football scrimmages.
Most dreadful is the fate of the little
woman who admires the jolly man who

Saturday evening the Berkeley Altru-

Woodmen Hall. at which the public is free
to listen TO its discussions. Later it held
its usual session of the secret council.
During the evening the general delegates
Of the association of the State at large met
at the residence of c. S. PrebIe to take
active steps toward the complete organiza-
ton of their order and to begin work in
the line Of their principles. AItrurian

ing officers: President, Edward B. Payne

tendent J. S. Clark of San Francisco
chaplain, j. S. Garrett of San Jose; ex-
ecutive committee-C. S. Preble, Benia-
min Woodruff and F. E. Nelson.
This council will have full charge of the
organization, equipment, etc, of the CO.
operative colony, and will be the supreme
council, upon which the subordinate coun-
ellis will be dependent. A resolution was
passed inviting Edward Bethany and W.
D. Howslls to lecture in California Oh

to select site for the colony and make
the preliminary arrangements. A NUN Der
of offers have been received from persons
DESTROYS of selling land for the colony.
President Payne stated that here was
magnificent opportunity for some one of
the owners of great tracts of land in the
State. By donating land for a colony he
could see town spring up at once on the
place, enhancing the value of the re-
mainder of his property and opening a
way for its sale.
