"Capital.' said Holmes calmly

WOMEN vAGRANTs IN
THE WORLD OF WORK.

There are women who will not re-
main constant to one kind OF work.
These vagrant tasters of work dismiss
from their mind all thought Of getting
on" Possibly they recognize that UNI
der no circumstances and with no
amount of application would they ever
have got far. In any case the notion OF
solid prosperity won after many years
Of dull plodding fails altogether to en-
terrain their fancy.
There are certain employments which
attract the Migrants powerfully. Hos
pital nursing is a favorite with them.
At the outset they feel a strong call
toward the hospital wards. The call,
like the cuckoo's note, becomes fainter
and less distinct as time wears on. At
the end of six months, or year at
most, 1t is inaudible. The feeble will
power Of the probationer breaks down,
and it is alleged that health has given
way. Second only to nursing in it's
charm for the capricious Is gardening.
For some reason agriculture In all its
branches has come to be regarded as
the proper occupation for the inefi-
cient. When spring announces itself,
number Of persons declare their unal-
terable resolution to devote their lives
to the cultivation Of strawberries or
the rearing of chickens, and 1t Is quite
possible that their iron determination
may not finch until the equinoctial
gales of autumn set in. Among these
seasonal country lovers, as among 9th
er f1tful workers, men are to be found
as we'll as women, but women happen
to be the immediate subject of our
study. And curious it is to observe
that the land which at best seldom re-
wards the worker generously is pre-
cisely the source from which butterfly
persons have the greatest expectations
of reaping a fortune. Stories are told
of the amazing price at which some one
once sold a few seed potatoes or some-
body else sold strawberries or apples,
and under the fascination of these an
ecdotes (separated from their proper
context OF facts) people who never did
long days work in the fields and
never will do buy land and call them
selves market growers. They fail, of
course. these butterflies. They fail and
break down in health and recover and
ego in" for some other kind OF bust-
ness-laundry work, maybe, or house
decoration or the threading OF bead
chains.
1t used to be said Of these tickle
workers that women were not suited
for professional employments and
therefore followed them capriciously.
But, as has been said already, the fic-
kle workers are by no means all Wo-
men. Moreover, the same women who
are capricious- in work are generally
capricious in marriage. In the long
series of diversions and interests ia
vored by the type Of woman here de-
scribed place is usually found for sew
eral matrimonial engagements Even
marriage itself does not compel a wo-
man to remain in the state of life she
has chosen il she is the kind OF being
who will have change. The laws OF
trade, Of competition, of human con-
tract and obligation do not bind her.
She puts very little into life, and abe
gets good deal out Of it.

ing my report i'll the sitting room.
Holmes had recovered his equanlmi-
ty. though l still seemed to detect
CLEANS Of amusement In his express
sion.
"Dear me, this Is very sad devel-
opment, Watson, Is 1t not?" said he.
"And yet there are singular points
about 1t which hold out some hopes for
our client"
II am delighted to hear it." said I
heartily. II was afraid it was all up
with him"
II would hardly go so far as to say
that. my dear Watson. The fact Is that
there Is one really serious flaw IN this
evidence to which our friend attaches
so much Importance"
"Indeed. Holmes What Is it?''
"Only this. that l know that that
mark was not there when l examined
the hall yesterday And now, Watson,
let us have little stroll round in the
sunshine
With confused brain. but with Il
henrt into which some warmth OF hope
was returning, accompanied my
friend In walk round the garden.
Holmes took each face of the house In
turn and examined it with great inter-
est. He then led the way inside and
went over the whole building from
! basement to attic. Most Of the rooms
were unfinished, but none the less
Holmes inspected them all minutely.
Finally, on the top corridor. which ran
outside three untenanted bedrooms, he
again was seized with n spasm of mer-
riment
"There are really some very unique
features about this case, Watson" said
he. II think it is time now that we
took our friend Lestrade into our conf
dence. He has had his little smile at
our expense, and perhaps we may do
as much by him If my reading of this
problem proves to be correct. Yes, yes.

to explain. A very deep. malicious,
vindictive person Is the gentleman who
Is now waiting us downstairs. You
know that he was once refused by Nc
Fariane's mother? You don't! told
you that you should go to Blackheath
first and Norwood afterward. Well,
this injury, as he would consider 1t,
has ranked in his wicked, scheming
brain. and all his life he has longed for
vengeance, but never seen his chance.
During the last year or two things have
gone against him-secret speculation,
think-and he finds himself In bad
way. He determines to swindle his
creditors, and for this purpose he pays
large checks to certain Mr.. Cornelius,
who is, l imagine, himself under an
other name. / have not traced these
checks yet, but l have no doubt that
they were banked under that name at
some provincial town, where Oldacre
from time to time led double exist
ence. He intended to change his name
altogether, draw his money and van
ish, starting life again elsewhere"
"Well, that's likely enough"
"It would strike him that In disap-
pearing he might throw all pursuit off
his track and Mt the same time have an
ample and crushing revenge upon bis
old sweetheart If he could give the Inn
preston that he had been murdered by
her only child. 1t was masterpiece of
yillainy, and he carried 1t out like
master. The idea Of the will, which
would give an obvious motive for the
crime, the secret visit unknown to his
own parents, the retention Of the stick,
the blood and the animal remains and
buttons in the wood pfle-all were ad-
mirable. 1t was net from which 1t
seemed to me, few hours ago, that
there was no possible escape. But he
had not that supreme gift Of the artist,
the knowledge of when to stop. He
wished to improve that which was al
ready perfect-to draw the rope tighter
yet round the neck Of his unfortunate
yictim-and SO he ruined all. Let us
descend, Lestrade. There are just one
or two questions that / would ask
him"
The malignant creature was seated
In his own parlor with a policeman
upon each side of him.
"It was a joke, my good SRA prac-
teal joke, nothing more" he whined
necessarily. II assure you, sir. that /
simply concealed myself in order to
see the effect of my disappearance. and
/ am sure that you would not be so
unjust as to imagine that would have
allowed any harm to befall poor young
Mr.. McFarlane"
That's for jury to decide" said
Lestrade. anyhow, we shall have
you on charge Of conspiracy, If not
for attempted murder"
"And you'll probably find that your
creditors will impound the banking ac-
count of Mr.. Cornelius" said Holmes.

Five minutes later three policemen
had assembled in the hall.
"In the clubhouse you will find con

Holmes. II will ask you to carry in
two bundles of It, think it will be
of the greatest assistance in producing
the witness whom ! require. Thank
you very much. l believe you have
some matches in your pocket, Watson.
Now, Mr.. Lestrade will ask you all
to accompany me to the top landing

empty bedrooms. At one end of the
corridor we were all marshaled by

did so, and, driven by the draft,
a coil of gray smoke swirled down the
corridor, while the dry straw cracked

lie led us through the passage and
out into Il dark hall beyond
"This is where young McFarlane
must have come out to get his hat
after the crime was done said he.
"Now, look at this With dramatic
suddenness he struck match and by
its light exposed a stain of blood upon
the white.washed wall. As hc-held the
match ntarer saw that it was more
than stain. 1t was the well marked
print Of Il thumb.
'Look at that with your magnifying
glass, Mr.. Holmes"
Eyes, am doing So"
"You are aware that no two thumb
marks are alike?"
II have heard something Of the kind. ;"
''Well. then, will you please com
pare thar print with this wax impress
sion of young McFarlane's right thumb
taken by my orders this morning?'
AS he held the waxen print close to
the blood stain it did not take a mag
nifying glass to see that the two were
undoubtedly from the same thumb. 1t
was evident to me that our unfortunate
client was lost.
.That is final" said Lestrade.
Eyes, that is final" l involuntarily
echoed.
"It is final" said Holmes.
Something in his tone caught my ear,
and I turned to look at him. An ex-
traordinary onsnge had come over his
face. 1t was writing with inward
merriment. His two eyes were shining
like stars. 1t seemed to me that he
was making desperate efforts to re-
strain convulsive attack Of laughter.

last. "Nell. now. who would have

pearances may be, to be sure! Such

lesson to us not to trust our own judg-
ment. is it not, Lestrade?
Yes, some OF us are Il little too much
inclined to be coclSsure, Mr. Holmes, y
said Lestrade. The mans insolence
was maddening. but we could not re-
sent it,
What providential thing that this
young man should press his right
thumb against the wall in taking his
hat from the peg! Such a very natural
action, too, if you come to think of it.
Holmes was outwardly calm, but his
whole body gave a wriggle Of sup
pressed excitement as he spoke. by
the way, Lestrade, who made this re-
markable discovery?'
1T was the housekeeper, Mrs. Lex
ington, who drew the night constable's
attention TO it,
"W-here was the night constable"
"He remained on guard in the bed
room where the crime was committed
so as to see that nothing was touched
But why didn't the police see this
mark yesterday"
''Well, we had no particular reason
to make careful examination Of the
hall. Besides, it's not i'll very promi-
nent place, as you see
mo, ,no-of course not. suppose
there is no doubt that the mark was
there yesterdays"
Iestrade looked ut Holmes as II he
thought he was going out of his mind.
1 confess that l was myself surprised
both ut his hilarious manner and at
his rather wild observation.
81 don't know whether you think that
McFarlane came out of Jail IN the
dead of night in order to strengthen
the evidence against himself" said
Lestrade. Il leave it to any expert
in the world whether that is not the
mark of his thumb"
ut is unauestionably the mark OF
his thumb"
There, that's enough" said Lestrade.

anything to say you will find me writ
