which some twenty or thirty people were
seated. The greater number of these were
work1nen returning from their day toll in the
lower part of the valley. At least dozen,
by their grimed faces and the safety lanterns
which they carried, proclaimed themselves
miners. These sat smoking in group and
conversed in low voices, glancing occasionally
at two men on the opposite side of the car,
whose uniforms and badges showed them to
be policemen.
Several women of the laboring class and one
or two travellers who might have been small
local storekeepers made up the rest of the
company, with the exception of one young
man in a corner by himself. It is with this
man that we are concerned. Take good
look at him; for he is worth it.
He is fresh-complexioned, middle-sized
young man, not far, one would guess, from his
thirtieth year. He has large, shrewd, humor-
Gus gray eyes which twinkle inquiringly from
time to time as he looks round through his
spectacles at the people about him. 1t is easy
to see that he is of a sociable and possibly
simple disposition, anxious to be friendly to
all men. Anyone would pick him at once as
gregarious in his habits and communicative
in his nature, with quick wit and a ready
smile. And yet the man who studied him
more closely might discern certain frmness
of jaw and grim tightness about the lips which
would warn him that there were depths be-
yond, and that this pleasant, brown-haired
young Irishman might conceivably leave his
mark for good or evil upon any society to
which he was introduced
Having made one or two tentative remarks
to the nearest miner, and received only short,
gruff replies, the traveller resigned himself to
uncongenial silence, staring modify out of the
window at the fading landscape.
1t was not cheering prospect. Through
the growing gloom there pulsed the red glow
of the furnaces on the sides of the hills. Great
heaps of Stag and dumps of cinders doomed
up on each side, with the high shafts of
the collieries towering above them. Hud
died groups of mean, wooden houses, the
windows of which were beginning to outline
themselves in light, were scattered here and
there along the line, and the frequent halt
ing places were crowded with their swarthy
inhabitants
The iron and coal valleys of the Vermissa
district were no resorts for the leisured or the
cultured. Everywhere there were stern signs
of the crudest battle of life, the rude work to
be done, and the rude, strong workers who
did it.
The young traveller gazed out into this dis
NAL country with a face of mingled repulsion
and interest, which showed that the scene was

the township, and again when he sprang for

him as 1 saw him then. I'm used to rough
work; but fairly turned sick at the sight
of him.
II was hanging on the side of the table
when Barker came hurrying down. | heard
my wife coming, and ran to the door and
stopped her. It was no sight for woman.
l promised I'd come to her soon. l said a
word or two to Barker,-he took it all in at
a glance and we waited for the rest to come
along. But there was no sign of them. Then
we understood that they could hear nothing,
and that all that had happened was known
only to ourselves.
at was at that instant that the idea came
to me. was fairly dazzled by the brilliance
of it. The mans sleeve had slipped up and
there was the branded mark of the lodge upon
his forearm. See here"
The man whom we had known as Douglas
turned up his own coat and cuff to show
brown triangle within a circle exactly like that
which we had seen upon the dead man.
at was the sight of that which started me
on it. l seemed to see it all clear at glance.
There was his height and hair and figure,
about the same as my own. No one could
swear to his face poor devil! I brought down
this suit of clothes, and in a quarter Of an
hour Barker and l had put my dressing gown
on him and he lay as you found him. We
tied all his things into bundle, and weighted
them with the only weight I could find and
put them through the window. The card he
had meant to lay upon my body was lying
beside his own.
"My rings were put on his finger; but when
it came to the wedding ring" he held out his
muscular hand, "you can see for yourselves

ANYHOW, that I should have cared to part
with it; but if l had wanted to I couldn't.
So we just had to leave that detail to take
care of itself. On the other hand, l brought
a bit of plaster down and put it where l am
wearing one myself at this instant. You
slipped up there, Mr.. Holmes, clever as you
are; for if you had CHANGED to take off that
plaster YOU would have found no cut under

"Wel1, that was the situation. If could
lie low for awhile and then get away where
could be joined by my widow, we should have
a chance at last of living in peace for the rest
of our lives. These devils would give me no
rest so long as I was above ground; but if
they saw in the papers that Baldwin had got
his man, there would be an end of all my
troubles. 1 hadn't much time to make it all

tlemen, you can do what you please; but I've
told you the truth, so help me God! What l
ask you now is how do stand by the English
law?"
There was a silence which was broken by
Sherlock Holmes.
"The English law is in the main just law.
You will get no worse than your deserts from
that, Mr.. Douglas. But would ask you how
did this man know that you lived here, or
how to get into your house, or where to hide

II know nothing of this"
Holmes face was very white and grave.
"The story is not over yet, | fear" said he.
"You may find worse dangers than the Eng
fish law, or even than your enemies from
America. l see trouble before you, Mr..
Douglas. You'll take my advice and still be
on your guard"
A ND now my long suffering readers, will
ask you to come away with me for a
time far from the Sussex Manor House of
Birthstone. and far also from the year of grace
in which we made our eventful Journey which
ended with the strange story of the man who
had been known as John Douglas l wish
you to journey back some fifteen years in
time, and westward some thousands of miles
in space, that l may lay before you singular
and terrible narrative,-so singular and SO
terrible that you may find it hard to believe
that even as tell it, even SO did it occur.
Do not think that intrude one story be-
fore another is finished. As you read on you
detailed those distant events and you have
solved this mystery of the past, we shall meet
once more in those rooms on Baker street,
where this, like so many other wonderful hap
penings, will find its end.
PART II. The Scowrers
CHAPTER I. The Man
TT was the fourth of Feb larry in the year
1875. 1t had been a severe winter, and the
snow lay deep in the gorges of the Gilmerton
Mountains. The steam plow had: however,
kept the railroad open, and the evening train
which connects the long line of coal-rnining
and working settlements was slowly
groaning its way up the steep gradients which
lead from Stagville on the plain to Vermissa,
the central township which lies at the head
of Vermissa Valley. From this point the track
sweeps downward to Bartons Crossing, Helm

groaning its way up the steep gradients which
lead from Stagville on the plain to Vermissa,
the central township which lies at the head
of Vermissa Valley. From this point the track
sweeps downward to Bartons Crossing, Helm
dale, and the purely agricultural county of
Merton. 1t was a single track railroad; but
at every siding-and they were numerous
long lines of trucks piled with coal and iron
ore told of the hidden wealth which had
brought rude population and busting life
to this most desolate corner of the United
States of America.
For desolate it was! Little could the first
pioneer who had traversed it have ever inn
agined that the fairest prairies and the most
lush water pastures were valueless compared
to this gloomy land of black crag and tangled
forest. Above the dark and often scarcely
penetrable woods upon their TANKS, the high,
bare crowns of the mountains, white snow,
and jagged rock lowered upon each flank,
leaving long, winding, tortuous valley in the
center. Up this the little train was slowly
crawling.

The young traveller gazed out into this dis

and interest, which showed that the scene was
new to him. At intervals he drew from his
pocket bulky letter to which he referred, and
on the margins of which he scrubbed some
notes. On, from the back of his waist he
produced something which one would hardly
have expected to find in the possession of SO
mi1d-mannered a man. 1t was navy re-
volver of the largest size. As he turned it
