see by the CLEAN in Holmes eyes that
he thought we were nearing the end of
our journey.
Our course now ran down Nine Films
until we came to Brodericz e. Nelson's
large timber yard, just past the White
Eagle tavern. Here the dog, frantic
with excitement, turned down through
the side gate into the inclosure, where
the sawyers were already at work. On
the dog raced through sawdust and
shavings, down an alley, round a pas
sage, between two wood-piles, and
finally, with triumphant yelp, sprang
upon large barrel, which still stoop
upon the hand-trolley on which it had
been brought. With lolling tongue
and blinking eyes, Toby stood upon
the casl1, looking from one to the other
of us for some sign of appreciation.
The slaves of the barrel and the wheels
of the trolley were smeared with dark
liquid, and the whole air was heavy
with the smell of creosote.

US. Our course led right across the
grounds, in and out among the trenches
and pits with which they were SCARED
and intersected. The whole place,
with it's scattered dirt heaps and ill
grown shrubs, had a blighted, ill
omened look which harmonized with
the black tragedy which hung over it.
On reaching the boundary wall, Toby
ran along, whining eagerly, underneath
its shadow, aud stopped finally in a
corner screen by young beech.
Where the two walls joined, several
bricks had been loosened and the crew
ices left were worn down and rounded
upon the lower side, as though they

dog from me, he dropped it over upon
the other side. I

beside him. ''You see the Slight

we have had no very heavy rain since
yesterday! The scent will lie upon the
road in spite of their eight-andtwenty
hours start"
l confess that I had my doubts my
self when 1 reflected upon the great
traffic which had passed along the Lon
don road in the interval. My fears
were soon appeased, however. Toby
never hesitated or swerved, but
waddled on in his peculiar rolling
fashion. Clearly the pungent smell
of the creosote rose high above all
other contending scents.

into our hands, should be culpable if
l neglected it. 1t has, however, pre-
vented the case from becoming the
pretty little intellectual problem
which it at one time promised to be.
There might have been some credit to

l. Il assure you, Holmes, that I mar

That was like following the brook
TO the parent lake. He makes but one
curious but profound remark. 1t is
that the chief proof of mans real great
ness lies in his perception of his own
smallness. 1t argues, you see, power of
comparison and of appreciation which
is In itself proof of nobility. There is
much food for thought in Richter. You

something of the sort if we get into

volver as he spoke, and, having loaded
two of the chambers, he put it back
into the right hand pocket of his jacket.
We had, during this time, been fol-
lowing the guidance of Toby down the
half.rural, villa-lined roads which lead
to the metropolis. Now, however, we
were beginning to come among contin-
uous streets, where laborers and dock
men were already astir, and slatternlv
women were taking down shutters and
brushing doorsteps. At the square
topped corner public houses business
was just beginning, and rough-looking
men were emerging, rubbing their
sleeves across their boards after their
morning wet. Strange dogs sauntered
up, and stared wonderingly at us as we
passed, but our inimitable Toby looked
neither to the right nor to the left, but
trotted EDWARDS with his nose to the
ground and an occasional eager whine,
which spoke of hot scent
We had traversed Streatham, Brix-
ton, Camberwell, and now found our
selves in Remington lane, having
borne away through the side streets
to the east of the Oval. The men
whom we pursued seemed to have taken
a curiously zigzag road, with the idea
probably of escaping observation. They
had never kept to the main road if a
parallel side street would serve their
turn. At the foot of Remington lane
they had edged away to the left through
Bond street and Miles street. Where
the latter turns into Knights place
Tobey ceased to advance, but began to
ruu backwards and forwards with one
ear cooked and the other dropping, the
very picture of canine indecision. Then
he waddled round in circles, looking
up to us from time to time, as if to ask
for sympathy in his embarrassment.
"What the deuce is the matter with
the dog?" growled Holmes. ''They
surely would not take cab or go off
in balloon"
perhaps they stood here for some
time" suggested.

There was a scuf1ing of the feet,

Holmes then threw the handkerchief

with his nose on the ground, and his

Accuracy of British BrbIe..

The printing of the Bible is the
most strictly guarded work in ex-
istence-a fact which appears
strange until we reflect on the mis-
chief an inaccurate Bible might
bring about. The kings printers
and the two universities of Oxford
and Cambridge give to the world all
the Bibles printed in the United
Kingdom, except some printed by
special license. A few years ago the
question arose whether the word
spirit" in Matthew Al, and Mark
1-12, should have capital 49," it
having been previously printed with
small one, and, although the word
was obviously wrongly printed, it
was not until after the ruling pow
ers at the universities and the kings
printers had met in solemn coun-
ell that leave was given to use the
capital letter. Nothing sanctioned
by authority in 1911 may be changed
without creating something akin to
revolution in the places where Bibles
are printed.-Liverpool Daily Post.

Chopin, the new opera by Giacomo

The overture is based on Polish airs
by Chopin, and themes from the COM
