grin and disappointment appeared nv
on his features.
He gnawed his lip, drummed his IN.
gers upon the table and showed every
other symptom OF acute impatienco.
So great was his emotion that felt
sincerely sorry for him. while the two
detectives smiled derisively, by no
means displcased at this check which
he had met.
ut can't be coincidence" he cried
at last, springing from his chair and
pacing wildly up and down the room;
1T is impossible that Is should be a
mere coincidence. The very pills
which suspected In the case OF Drub-
ber are actually found after the death
Of Stangerson, And yet they are inert
What can II meant Surely my whole
chain or reasoning cannot have been
false, It Is impossiblel And yet this
wretched dog Is none the worse. All,

With a perfect shrek OF delight
he rushed to the box, cut the other pill
In two. dissolved Il. added milk. and
presented Il to the terrier.
The unfortunate creatures tongue
hardly seemed to have been moistened
in Il before II gave a convulsiye shiver
In every limb, aud lay as rigid and life
less as IL 1t had been struck by light
ming.
Sherlock Holmes drew long breath
and wiped the perspiration from his
forehead.

proves to be capable OF bearing some
other Interpretation. OF the two pills
In that box one was the most deadly
poison and the other was entirely
harmless. ought to have known that
before ever saw the box at all.
This last statement appeared to me-
TO be so startling that could hardly
believe that he was In his sober senses.
There was the dead dog. however. to
prove that his conjecture had been cor
rect.
II seemed to me that the mists In
my own mind were gradually clearing
away, and began TO have a dim,
vague perception of the truth.
"All this seems strange to you" con-
tinued Holmes, because you failed at
the beginning of the inquiry to grasp
the Importance of the single real clew
which was presented to you. had
the good fortune 70 seize upon that,
and everything which has occurred
since then has served to confirm my
original supposition, and, indeed was
the logical sequence OF 1t. Hence,
things which have perplexed you and
made the case more obscure have
served to enlighten me and to strength
en- my conclusions, 1t is a mistake to
confound strangeness with mystery.
The most commonplace crime is often
the most mysterious, because II pre-
sents no new or special features from
which deductions may be drawn. This
murder would have been infinitely
more difficult to unravel had the body
of the victim been simply found lying
in the roadway without any of those
outer and sensational accomplishments
which have rendered It remarkable.
These strange details, far from max
ing the case more diflcult have really
had the effect Of making 1t less So"

took two officers with me and arrested
him. When | touched him on the
shoulder and warned him to come
quietly with us, he answered us as
hold as brass: L suppose you are

the death of that scoundrel Drebber,
he said. We had said nothing to him
about il. so that his alluding to 1t had
most suspicious aspect"
Very" said Holmes.
"He still carried the heavy stick
which the mother described him as
having with him when he followed
Drebber. II was stout oak cudgel."
what is your theory, then?"
well, my theory is that he followed
Drebber as far as the Brixton road
When there a fresh alteration arose
between them, in the course of which
Drebber received blow from the
stick in the pit OF the stomach, per
haps, which killed him without leav
ing any mark. The night was so wei
that no one was about, so CharpentieI
dragged the body of his victim into
the empty house. AS to the candle
and the blood and the writing on tho
wall and tho ring, they may all be SO
many tricks to throw the police on Ia
the wrong scent"
We'll done!" said Holmes in an en-
couraging voice. Really, Gregson,
you are getting along, We shall make
something of you yet"
Il flatter myself that l have man
aged it rather neatly" the detective
answered proudly. "The young mar

said that after following Drebbel

II was, indeed, Lestrade, who ha,
assembled the stairs while we wer'
talking, and who now entered th'
room. The assurance and jauntines:
which generally marked his demeanol
and dress were, however wanting.
His face was disturbed and trou
bIed, while his clothes were disar
ranged and untidy.
He had evidently come with the in
tention of consulting with Sherloci
Holmes. for on perceiving his col
league he appeared to be embarrassed
and put out.
He stood in the center of the room
fumbling nervously with his hat, ant
uncertain what to do.
This is a most extraordinary case,
he said, at last-"a most incompre
hensible affair"
"Ah, you find it so, Mr.. Lestrade?'
cried Gregson, triumphantly.

Gregson sprang out of his chair ant

Holmes, whose lips were compressed
and his brows drawn down over hil

"Stangerson, too!" he muttered

1--WE have been hearing Gregson's
view of the matter" Holmes observed.
"Would you mind letting us know
what you have seen and done?"
IT have no objection" Lestrade an
swered, seating himself. 81 freely con-
fess that was of the opinion that
Stangerson was concerned in the death
of Drebber. This fresh development
has shown me that was completely
mistaken. Full of the one idea. I set
myself to find out what had become
OF the secretary. They had been seen
together at Euston Station about half
nm aGf snyIr& N Ia -
At two in the morning Drebber had
been found in the Brixton Road. The
question which confronted me was to
find out how Stangerson had been en-
ployed between $3.50 and the time of
the crime and what had become of him
I telegraphed to Liverpool,
giving description of the. man and
warning them to keep watch upon
the American boats. then set to work
calling upon all the hotels and lodging
houses in the vicinity of Euston. You
see, l argued that If Drebber and his
companion had become separated the
natural course of the latter would be
to put up somewhere in the vicinity for
the night and then hang about the
station again next morning."
''They would be likely to agree on
some meeting-place beforehand" re-
marked Holmes.
$50 it proved. I spent the whole Of
yesterday evening in making inquiries
entirely without avail. This morning
l began very early, and at eight o'clock
| reached Halliday's Private Hotel, ir
Little George street. On my inquiry
as to whether Mr.. Stangerson was
living there, they an once answered me
in the affirmative.
