The July which immediately sue ceeded my marriage was made est, in which I had the privilege of being associated with Sherlock Holmes and of studying his methods. I find them recorded in my notes un- der the heading of "The Adventure of the Second Stain,' ''The Adventure of the Naval Treaty." and "The Ad- venture of the Tired Captin." The first of these, however, deals with in tereSts of such importance and inn plicates so many of the first families in the kingdom that for many years it will be impossible to make it pulp lie. No case, however, in which Holmes was engaged has ever illus trated the value of his analytical methods so clearly or has impressed those who were associated with him so deeply. still retain an almost verbatim report of the interview in which he demonstrated the true facts of the case to Monsieur Dubuque of the Paris police, and Fritz von Wald- Dantzig, both of whom had wasted their energies upon what proved to be side-issue. The new century will have come, however. before the story pass on to the second on my list, which promised also at one time to be of national importancei and was
 marked by several incidents which give it quite unique character
 During my school days I had been intimately associated with a lad named Percy Phelps, who was of much the same age as myself, though be was two classes ahead of me. He was a very brilliant boy, and carried away every prize which the school had to offer, finishing his exploits by winning a scholarship swhich sent him
 on to continue his triumphant career at Cambridge. He was, I remember
 extremely we'll connected. and even when we were all little boys together we knew that his mothers brother was Lord Holdhurst, the great conserva- tive politician. This gaudy relation ship did him little good at school, On the contrary. 1t seemed rather a piqnant thing to us to Chevy him about the playground and hit him over the shins with c wicket, But 1t was an ether thing when he came out into

PLAZA

Tonight for the last two times "Hehotrope" the big Cosmopolitan super special which has been the talk of Bridgeport, will be shown at the Plaza theatre. A good vaudeville bill is also showing
 Starting tomorrow, Thursday, the Robertson-Cole super drama 'The First Born" with SesSue Hayakawa, will be the feature. ''The First Born" is the only Hayakawa feature that has ever been shown in the Strand, New York, and it scored a tremendous hit there a few weeks ago. A summary of the critics opinion of it may be gleaned from Laurence Reid'S review in Motion Picture News in which he says Give this Japanese star. Haya- kawa. appropriate material and there is no reason why he cannot enter the popularity stakes along with Ameri- can favorites- The idea itself is sure-fire in appeal. The note of heart interest, the touch of juvenile interest these are certain to attract feminine patronage. Place this splendid pan tomimist in a sympathetic part and give him good production and peo- pie will flock to see him."

 we were fortunate enough to catch an early train at Waterloo, and in a little under an hour We found ourselves among the fir-woods and the heather of woking. Briarbrae proved to be a large detached house standing in extensive grounds within a few minutes walk of the station. On sending in our cards We were shown into an elegantly appointed drawing-room, where we were joined in few minutes by a rather stout man who received us with much hos pitality. His age may have been nearer forty than thirty. but his cheeks were so ruddy and his eyes so merry that he still conveyed the inn pression of a plump and mischievous boy.

You will find my sister in his room, for she has nursed him hand-and-foot this two months back. Perhaps we'd better go in at once. for I know how impa- tient he is"
 The chamber in which we were shown was on the same floor as the drawing-roon. It was furnished partly as a sitting and partly as a bedroom, with flowers arranged dain- tiIy in every nook and corner. A young man, very pale and wornr was

 He clutched her hand to detain her. How are you. Watson?" said he, cordially. "I should never havo known you under that moustache. and I dare say yen would not be pre- pared to swear to me This I pre- s>ne is your celebrated friend, MT. Sherlock Holmes?'' a

She was a striking looking woman, a little short and thick for symmetry, but with a beau- iful olive complexion, large, dark. Italian eyes, and a wealth of deep black hair. Her rich tints made the white face of her companion the more worn and haggard by the con- trast.

In the days before the tremendous earthquake shook San Francisco to it's very foundation, there f1ourished in one of its corners, quaint, pic turesque little colony, suggestive or the East, modified by the West, so that it was neither Oriental nor Oc- cidental-but just Chinatown.
 It was the Mecca of all tourists, the City of a Thousand Adventures. FIX tending over an area of only eight city blocks it harbored a population which varied between ten and thirty thousand according to the season or the year. The narrow, winding all leys overflowed with little stores and factories, fantastic balconies painted in hues to rival the most gorgeous Of rainbows. On it's streets played little yellow-skinned, almond-eyed children of the Orient, garbed in quaint native costumes of the brightest tunics, clev- erly conceived little caps with tink- ling golden devil-chasers, and elabor- ate ear-dropS.
 This Chinatown was tenderloin fof the whole Chinese population of the Pacic Coast, the pleasure palace where fish cutters from the northern salmon canneries, farmers from the Sacramento deltas, fruit p1ckers from the hot San Joaquin valley; gold washers from the Sierran placers, came to enjoy themselves and squan- der their earnings in between season.

 The Directoire period in France dated from 1795 to 1T9e. The gowns of that time were inspired by the cos tunes of the Greeks and Romans, and were as complete a revolution in dress as the revolution in politics through which France had just passed From the enormous hoopskirts the

 But avarice had crept into the heart Of Loey Tsing's father and one day, when a slave junk cleft the waters of the Hoang-Ho, there cams an emissary of Man Low Yek whJ lived in the Chinatown of San Fran cisco and who wished a young and comely woman.
 Loey Tsing's father heard the clink of the gold coins and he sold Loey Tsing. She was carried off into slavery and Chan Wang was left on the Hoang-Ho.
 When the opportunity arrived Chan Wang left the Hoang-Ho to seek his lost Loey Tsing- To San Francisco he went but his immediate efforts were not crowned with success. He met and married Chan Lee and there was born to them Chan Toy-the first born of Chan Wang. And Chan

Chicago. July S.-The state an- nounced during examination of pros pective jurors today in the baseball trial that it would demand the maxi mum penalty of a $2,000 fine and five years Imprisonment for each man found guilty.

 We will call in so many baseball players to testify for these indicted men that several big league teams may be broken up fora day or two said MT. Berger.
