THE letter, then, is from certain
foreign potentate who has been
ruffled by some certain colonial de-
velopments of this country. 1t has
been written hurriedly and upon his
own responsibility entirely. Inquiries
have shown that his ministers know
nothing of the matter. At the same
time it is couched in so unfortunate a
manner, and certain phrases in it are
of so provocative a character, that its
publication would undoubtedly lead to
a most dangerous state of feeling in
this country. There would be such a
ferment, sir, that l do not hesitate to
say that within a week of the publ
cation of that letter this country
would be involved in great war"

lnant, was none other than the Illus
trious Lord Bellinger, twice Premier
of Britain. The other dark, clear-cut
and elegant, hardly yet of middle age
and endowed with every beauty of
body and of mind, was the Right Hon
orable Trelawney Hope, secretary for
European affairs, and the most rising
statesman in the country. They sat
side by side upon our paper-littered
settee, and it was easy to see from
their worn and anxious faces that it
was business of the most pressing i'm
portance which had brought them.
The Premier's thin, blue-veined hands
were clasped tightly over the ivory
head OF his umbrella, and his gaunt,
ascetic face looked gloomily from
Holmes to me. The European secre-
tary pulled nervously at his moustache
and fidgeted with the seals of his
watch chain.
When | discovered my loss, Mr.
Holmes, which was at eight o'clock
this morning I at once informed the
Prime Minister. 1t was at his sugges-
ton that we have both come to you

done so, nor is it possible that we
should do so. To inform the police

larly desire to avoid"
And why, sir?"
Because the document in question
is of such immense Importance that
its publication might very easily

European complications of the utmost
moment. 1t is not too much to say
that peace or war may hang upon the

have taken it is that its contents

PART ONE


l had intended THE Adventure of
the Abbey Grange" to be the last Of
those exploits of my friend, Mr..
Sherlock Holmes, which should ever
communicate to the public. This reso-
luton of mine was not due to any lack
of material, since l have notes of
many hundreds OF cases to which I
have never alluded, nor was it caused
by any waning interest on the part
of my readers in the singular person
ality and unique methods of this re-
markable man. The real reason lay
in the reluctance which Mr.. Holmes
has shown to the continued publica-
ton of his experiences. So long as he
was in actual professional practice the
records of his success were Of some
practical value to him, but since he
has definitely retired from London
and betaken himself to study and bee
farming on the Sussex Downs, notori-
ETY. has become hateful to. him, and he
has premptorily requested that his
wishes in this matter should be strict
~ observed. 1t was only upon my rep
resenting to him that l had given a
promise that The Adventures of the
Second Stain" should be published
when the times were ripe, and point
ing out to him that it is only appropri-
ate that this long series of episodes
should eliminate in the most import
ant international case which he has
ever been called upon to handle, that
at last succeeded in obtaining his
consent that a carefully guarded ac-
count Of the incident should at last
be laid before the public If in telling
the story I seem to be somewhat
vague in certain details, the public
will readily understand that there is
an excellent reason for my reticence.
1t was, then, in year, and even in
a decade, that shall be nameless, that

fame within the walls of our humble

he general passage of abstract OF tt.
tie laws in all states as means to
put an end to the commercialized
stealing of motor vehicles" said Mr..
Noblet. THE legislative efforts of
our association alone are of far reach
ing benfit to all motorists and we are
sure that if every automobile owner

helping to do his part in this work"

1t is stated that under the new
registration law every owner must
prove his ownership, having 80 days
10 comply with the law after it is
declared in effect The secretary OF
