charge OF II. Where, then, could the
driver be, unless he were inside the
housel Again, 1t Is absurd to suppose
that any sane man would carry out
deliberate crime under the very eyes
as 1t We're, of a third person, who was
sure to betray him. Lastly, suppos-
ing one man wished to dog another
through London, what better means
could he adopt than to turn cab-driyer?
All these considerations led me to the
irresistible conclusion that Hope was
to be found among the jaryeys Of the
metropolis.
IF he had been one there was no
reason to believe that he had ceased
to be. On the contrary, from his point
of view, any sudden change would be
likely to draw attention to himself.
He would probably for a time at least,
continue to perform his duties. There
was no reason to suppose that he was
going under an assumed name In a
country where no one knew his origin
al one? therefore organized my Sc
cret cab detective corps, and sent them
Systematically to every cab proprietor
in London until they ferreted out the
man that l wanted. How well they
succeeded, and how quietly / took adj
vantage of 1t, are still fresh In your
recollection. The murder of Stanger-
son was an incident which was entire
ly unexpected, but which could hardly
In any case have been prevented.
Through 1t, as you know, came into
possession of the pills, the existence of
which had already surmised. You
see the whole thing is chain of logi-
cal sequences without a break or
flaw"
1t Is wonderful / cried, "Your
merits should be politically recognized.
You should publish an account of the
case. If you won't, l will for you."
You may do what you like, DOCTOR"
he answered. "See herep he continued
handing paper over to me; look at
this!"
1t was the Echo for the day, and the
paragraph to which he pointed was
devoted to the case In question.
1.-THE public" it said, "have lost
sensational treat through the sudden
death of the man Hope, who was sus-
pected Of the murder of Mr.. Enoch
Drebber and of Mr.. Joseph Stanger-
son. The details of the case will pro-
badly never be known now, though we
are informed upon good authority that
standing and romantic feud, In which
love and Mormorism bore part
1t seems that both the victims belonged
in their younger days, to the Latter
Day Saints, and Hope, the deceased
prisoner, halls from Salt Lake City.
If the case has had no other effect, 1t,
at least, brings out In the most strik-
ing manner the efficiency of our detec-
tixyn nj no
lesson to all foreigners that they will
do wisely to settle their feuds at home,
and not carry them onto British soil.
1t Is an open secret that the credit Of
this smart capture belongs entirely to
the well-known Scotland Yard officials,
Messrs Lestrade and Gregson. The
man was apprehended, 1t appears, In
the rooms Of a certain Mr.. Sherlock
Holmes, who has himself as an anna
teur, shown some talent in the detee-
tive line, and who, with such instruc-
tors, may hope in time to attain to
some degree of their skill 1t is ex-
pected that testimonial of some sort
will be presented to the two officers
as fitting recognition of their SER
vices"
Didn't I tell you so when we start
ed?" cried Sherlock Holiness with a
laugh. That's the result of all our
Study in Scarlet; to get them testi-
monial"
Never mind" / answered, II have
all the facts in my journal, and the
public shall know them In the mean
time, you must make yourself content
ed by the consciousness of success, like
the Roman miser'
'P0puius me sibllat, at mihi pla-
udo Ipse domi stimuli &C numInns con
templar In area
