CHAPTER Y.
THE END OF THE ISLANDER.


Our meal was a merry one. Holmes
could talk exceedingly well when he
chose, and that night he did choose.
He appeared to be in a state of nerv-
Gus exaltation / 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-
Ion, and on the warships of the fu-
ture-handling each as though he had
made special study of it. His bright
humor marked the reaction from his
BLACK depression of the preceding days.
Athelney Jones proved to be sociable
soul in his hours of relaxation, and
faced his dinner with the air of bon
vivant. For myself, 1 felt elated at
the thought that we were nearing the
4end of our task, and caught some
thing of Holmes gayety. None of US
alluded during dinner to the cause
(which had brought US together.
When the cloth was cleared Holmes

the stern. There was one man at the
rudder, one to tend the engines, and
two burly police inspectors forward
''Where to?" asked Jones.
''To the tower. Tell them to stop

Our craft was evidently very fast

loaded barges as though they were sta

AN IDEAL DAIRY,
Where tho Princess of Wales ana Her
Daughters Make Butter.

Where the Princess of Wales ana Her
Daughters Make Butter.
Probably the most ideal dairy in ex-
istence is that of the princess of Wales.
in which not only she, but her various
daughters, have learned to make the
most perfect of butter. The walls are
cover ed with tiles presented to the
prince of Wales, who placed them here
as a surprise to the royal dairymaids.
They were made in Bombay, and are
of deep peacock blue, the rose, sham
rocks and thistle being intertwined,
with the motto: Itch diem"
A white marble counter running
around the room holds silver pans of
milk from the Attorneys grazing with

every imaginable material, of cows,
bullocks and calves; Italian and Parian
marble; alabaster, porcelain, terra cot

can, painted by Princess Louise to
match the Indian thing, stands in one
corner, and opposite is the head of the

plate recording her virtues Here the
princess sometimes churns in a silver
churn, and in the next room the butter
for the family is made and sent up
fresh every morning when they are in
London. The days supply is made up
into little pats and scrolls all ready for
the table, and the prince requires a
special order of pats Not a grain of
salt is allowed in them, and they are
made the size of half-dollar and the
thickness of three, with either the
crown, the coat of arms, or the thres
