Surely enough a note awaited US at
Baker street. A government messen-
ger had brought it post haste. Holmes
glanced at it and threw it over to me,
There are numerous small fly, but
few who would handle so big an af-
fair. The only men worth consider
ing are Adolph Meyer of Is Great
George street, Westminster; Louis la
Rothiere of Campden Mansions, Not

Caulfeld Gardens, KensingtOn. The
latter was known to be in town on
Monday, and is now reported as hav-
ing left. Glad to hear that you have
seen some light. The cabinet awaits
your final report with the utmost
anxiety. Urgent representations have
arrived from the very highest quar-
ter. The whole of the state is at your
back if you should need it. MyeToft."
Pm afraid" said Holmes, smiling,
that all the queens horses and all
the queens men can not avail in this
matter. l am going out now. Do you
stay here, and the odds are that you
will see me again in an hour or two"
At last, shortly after nine o'clock,
there arrived a messenger with a
note:
"Am dining at GoldiH's restaurant,
Gloucester Road, Kensington. Please
come at once and join me there. Bring
with you a jimmy, a dark lantern, a
chisel, and a revolver. S. H"
It was a nice equipment for a re-
spectacle citizen to carry through the
dim, fog-draped streets. l slowed
them all discreetly away in my over
coat, and drove straight to the ad-
dress given. There sat my friend at a
little round table near the door of
the garish Italian restaurant.

"They are here in my oVercoat."

Oberstein of Is CaUlfeld Gardens had
become my objective. l began my
operations at the Gloucester Road
station, where a very helpful official
walked with me along the track, and
allowed me to satisfy myself not only
that the back stair windows Of Caul-
field Gardens open on the line, but
the even more essential fact that
owing to the intersection of one of
the larger railways the Underground
trains are frequently held motionless
for some minutes at that very spot. -
Splendid, Holmes! You have got
it?'
I'VE must bear in mind that ODER
stein has gone to the Continent to
dispose of his booty, but not with any
idea of fight, for he has no reason to
fear a warrant, and the idea of an
amateur domiciliary visit certainly
would never occur to him. Yet that
is precisely what we are about to
make"
A minute later we were both in the
area. Hardly had we reached the
dark shadows before the step of a
policeman was heard in the fog
above. AS it's soft rhythm died away
Holmes set to work upon the lower
door. l saw him stoop and strain
until with a sharp crash it flew open.
We sprang through into the dark
passage, closing the area door be-
hind us. Holmes led the way up the
curving, uncarpeted stair. His little
fan of yellow light shone upon a low
window.
Here we are, Watson, this must

as he did so there was a low, harsh
murmur, growing steadily into loud
roar as train dashed past us in the
