said anything to me about 1t. There
was small portmanteau in the room,
and this he pulled out and began to
strap. He was busily engaged at it
when the cabman entered the room.
Just give me helpwith this buckle,
cabman," he said, 'ltneeling over his
task, and never turning his head.
The fellow came forward with a
somewhat sullen, defiant air, and put
down his hands to assist. At that in
stant there was sharp click, the jang-
ling of metal, and Sherlock Holmes
sprang to his feet again.
"Gentlemen," he cried, with flashing
eyes, "let me introduce you to Mr..
Jefferson Hope, the murderer of Enoch
Drebber and Joseph Stangerson."
The whole thing occurred in mo-

Then with an inarticulate roar Of fury,

A writer in Decorator and Furnsher
tells of the expedient of a thoughtful
mother whose large familypof children
made much laundry work. For break
fast and luncheon, instead of large table,
cloths, she provided half yard squares
made from good quality Of butchers
linen. These were hemmed and an ini-
tial worked in one corner--eight or ten
squares for the use of each child. These
were laid diamondwise under each plate
and renewed as needed, the laundress
finding these small pieces much easier to
care for than the large cloths.
The same writer offers the suggestion
that if good sized, milky white glass
beads are sewed on table mats, crocheted
in heavy cotton or made of corset cord,
their efficiency in protecting the table
from hot dishes is absolute. For general
use this is certainly a good idea, though
these mats are not specially pretty for
company days.

penknife he suited the action to the

which is teaspoonful of water. You
perceive that our friend, the doc
tor, is right, and that it readily dis

Lestrade, in the injured tone of one
who suspects that he is being laughed
at. 81 cannot see, however, what it
has to do with the death Of Mr.. Joseph
Stangerson."

will find in time that it has everything

thinking in his mind that it was

glanced at Holmes on hearing the
description of the murderer, which tai
lied SO exactly with his own. There
was, however, no trace of eXultation or
satisfaction upon his face.
Did you find nothing in the room
which could furnish clew to the
murderer" he asked.
Nothing, Stangerson had Dreb-
ber's purse in his pocket, but it seems
that this was usual, as he did all the
paying. There was eighty-odd pounds
in it, but nothing had been taken.
Whatever the motives of these eXtraor-
binary crimes, robbery is certainly not
one of them. There were no papers or
memoranda in the murdered mans
pocket, except single telegram, dated
from Cleveland about month ago,
and containing the words; y. II. is in
Europe There was no name appended
to this message"
And there was nothing else?"
Holmes asked.
Nothing of any importance. The
mans novel, with which he had read
himself to sleep, was lying upon the
bed, and his pipe was on a chair beside
him. There was glass Of water on
the table, and ON the window-sill a
small chip ointment-box containing a
couple of pills.
Sherlock Holmes sprang from his
chair with an exclamation of delight.
"The last link" he cried, exultantly.
"My case is complete"
The two detectives stared at him in
amazement.
II have now in my hands," my com.
panion said, confidently, "all the
threads which have formed such a

"Now, DOCTOR" turning to me, "are

Gregson and Lestrade seemed to be

or by the depreciating allusion to tho

flushed up to the roots OF his flaxen
hair, while the others beady eyes
glistened with curiosity and resent

''Pretty young women could be
seen pinning violets r carnations on the
coat lapels of bearded men, with win
ming smiles that said You will vote
my ticket, won'tyou?'
This was at Denver, Col, on last
Wednesday, aud the occasion was the
municipal election. Grim visaged
Waite had hung up his ensanguined bri-
dies, and instead of calling troops to
fright the souls of fearless adversaries,
he was forced to witness the captivating
wiles of women workers at the polls
Dispatches from all points in Colorado
saw the young women made day Of it
everywhere. They turned out early
with aprons, baskets, bdggies and wag-
ons full OF flowers-smilax, jasmines,
violets, roses, geraniums and daisies.
And there were not any daisies in the
lot more fresh and bright than the girls
themselves. They were cut for business
and flowers, smiles and pretty speeches
were their stock in trade. Reports say
they event for'' the male voters like
they were their lovers; pinned boquets
on their coats, patted them on their
cheeks, chartered like parrots about nice
fellows, and the handsome men they
knew, and how well they always did
like some people, and how nice and fiat
tering to themselves it would be if a
vote should be cast certain way for
their sakes, etc. Under such circum-
stances the ''big bearded men proba-
bly, forgot all they ever heard about the
'per capita, and the gold bugs"
and 'the tools of Wall street" and that
kind of stuff. With the perfume of VIC
let's in his nostrils, pair of soft hands
fumbling az his coat lapel and pair OF
bright eyes laughing into his own, what
man could remember, or would care to
remember, what the per capita is? No
man would, no matter how big his
beard.
It is an open question whether
women should be added % our
political factors But these is no ques-
zion that they are a dangerous clement
TO the public men or measures they Up
pose, especially when they are young
and pretty The Colorado election
proves that. We extend sympathy to
The big bearded men, who were weodlei
out of their votes by the pretty girls.
But we don't blame them bit.
