And win their case in triumph

belongings I was fortunate enough to
discover not only the method of the
crime, but even its motives. AS a
man of the world, colonel, you know
that men do not carry other peoples
bills about in their pockets. We have
most of us quite enough to do to settle
our own. 1 at once concluded that
Straker was leading a double life, and
keeping a second establishment. The
nature of the bill showed that there
was a lady in the case, and one who
had expensive tastes. Liberal as you
are with your servants, one can hard
ly expect that they can buy twenty
guinea walking dresses for their ladies'.
l questioned Mrs. Straker as to the
dress, without her knowing 1t, and
having satisfied myself that it had
never reached her, 1 made a note of the
milliner's address, and felt that by
calling there with Straker's photograph
I could easily dispose of the mythical
D~erbyshire.
From that time on all was plain.
Straker had led out the horse to a
hollow where his light would be in
visible. Simpson in his fight had
dropped his cravat, and Straker had
picked 1t up-with some idea, perhaps,
that he might use it in securing the
horse's leg. Once in the hollow, he
had got behind the horse and had
struck a light. but the creature, fright
ened at the sudden glare, and with
the strange instinct of animals feeling
that some mischief was intended, had
lashed out, and the steel shoe had
struck Straker full on the forehead.
He had already, in spite of the rain,
taken eff his overcoat in order to do his
delicate task, and 50. as hes fell. his
knife gashed his thigh. Do 1 make it
c~lear?"
WONDERFUL" cried the colonel.
Wonderfully! You might have been
there!'
my first shot was, I confess, a very
long one. 1t struck me that so astute a
man as Straker would not undertake
this delicate tendon-nicking without a
little practise. What could he practise
on? My eyes fell upon the sheep, and
1 I asked a question which. rather 10 my
surprise, showed that my surmise was
correct.
When l returned to London / called
upon the m%illiner, who had recognized
Straker as an excellent customer of the
name of Derbyshire, who had a very
dashing wife, with a strong partiality
for expensive dresses. I have no doubt
that this woman had plunged him over
head n ears in debt, md so led him
into this miserable plot"
You have explained all but one
thing" cried he colonel. "Where was
the horse?"
"Ah, it bolted, and was cared for
by one of your neighbors. We must
have an amnesty in that direction, |
think. This is Chaplain Junction, If
am not mistaken, and we shall be in
Victoria in less than ten minutes. If
you care to smoke a cigar in our rooms

any other details which might inter-
est you"

times 1t is a pulling jockey. Sometimes

What was 1t here? l hoped that the
contents of his pockets might help me
to form a conclusion.
"And they did so. You cannot have
forgotten the singular knife which was
found in the dead mans hand, a knife
which certainly no ane man would
choose for a weapon. 1t was, as DIR.
Watson told us, a form of knife which
is used for the most delicate operations
known in surgery. And it was to be
used for a delicate operation that night.

rience of turfLmatters, Colonel Ross,

why John Straker wished to take the
horse out on the moor. So spirited a
creature would have certainly reused
the soundest of sleepers when it fell

Now, if you invert the bottle, keeping
the short tube closed. the pressure of
the air will prevent the water running
out of the long tube.
Plunge the short tube into the full

once water flows from the long tube
