held for carrying concealed weapons,
and H. B. Hood, charged with en-
bezzlement, made their escape from,
the county Jail early Sunday. They
were on the third floor and used
sheets from their cots as q rope to
the ground.
DAYTON-The resignation of DR.. A.
E. Baker, of the Dayton State Hos.
pital, has been in the hands of the
state authorities for several days, it
is understood, but no action has been
taken. Failure to appropriate money
for the improvements in the institu-
tions which he declares are necessary
is said to be the cause of his resigna-
ton.

preamble. was happy and success
bull man, Mr.. Holmes, and on the eve
of being married, when a sudden and
dreadful misfortune wrecked all my
prospects in life.
Il was, as Watson may have told
you, in the Foreign Office, and through
the influence of my uncle. Lord Hold.
hurst, rose rapidly to a responsible
position. When my uncle became for
eign minister in this administration,
he gave me several missions of trust,
and as I always brought them to a
successful conclusion, he came at last
to have the utmost confidence in my
ability and tact. - e. :
Nearly ten weeks ago-to be more
accurate, on the 23rd day of May
he called me into his private rooms.
and after complimenting me on the
good work which l had done, he in.
formed me that he had a new commits
sion of trust for me to execute.
""This,' said he, taking a gray roll
of paper from his bureau, lis the origi-
nal secret treaty between England and
Italy, of which I regret to say, some
rumors have already got into the pub
lie press. 1t is of enormous import
anee that nothing further should leak
out. The French or the Russian en-
bassy would pay an immense sum to
learn the contents of these papers.
They should not leave my bureau
were it not absolutely necessary to
have them copied. You have desk
in your office?'
as Yes, sir
Then take the teraty and lock it
up there. shall give directions that
you may remain behind when the
others go, SO that you may copy it at
your leisure without fear of being
overlooked. When you have finished.
relock both the original and the draft
in the desk, and hand them over to
me personally tomorrow morning.
II took the papers, and"

Holmes. Were you alone during this
conversation"

ably low. l hardly spoke at ALL

his eyes. Pray go on"
Il did exactly what he indicated.
and waited until the other clerks had
departed. One of them in my room,
Charles Gorot, had some arrears of
work to make up, SO l left him there
and went out to dine. When l return
ed he was gone. l was ANXIOUS to
hurry my work, for l knew that JOS
eph-the Mr. Harrison whom you saw
just now-was in town, and that he
would travel down to Working by the
eleven o'clock train, and l wanted, if
possible, to catch it,"

young man, it would not be advisable
to marry him under any circumstan-
ces whatsoever. You want to be sure,
however, that you objections to him
are not superficial. 1t has been de-
monstrated that few marriages thai
are made without love are truly hap
by. Why don't you have heart to
heart talk with your father. and tell
him frankly just how you feel, point
ing out that the marriage may. only
lead to the divorce courts, and that
both you and the young man will be
made unhappy if you are forced to
marry him against your will. The
young man himself probably would
not want to marry you If he knew
that you did not love him. II he has
not proposed to you there is posi-
bility that he himself does not want
to marry you. a5..

and am still exceedingly weak. Do
you think that you could bring your
friend Mr.. Homes down to see me :?
l should like to have his opinion Of
the case, though the authorities assure
me that nothing more can be done.
Do try to bring him down, and as soon
as possible. Every minute seems an
hour while l live in, this state of hor-
r1ble suspense. Assure him that if
have not asked his advice sooner it

There was something that touched
me as l read this letter, something
pitiable in the reiterated appeals to
bring Holmes. So moved was l that
even had it been a difficult matter l
should have tried it, but of course l
knew well that Holmes loved his art,
SO that he was ever as ready to bring
his aid as his client could be to receive
it. My wife agreed with me that not
moment should be lost in laying the
matter before him, and so within an
hour of breakfast-time I found myself
back once more in the old rooms in
Baker Street.

ing furiously in the blush flame of a
Bunsen burner, and the distilled drops
were condensing into two-litre mea-
sure. My friend hardly glanced up as
l entered, and l., seeing that his in.
yestigation must be of importance,
seated myself in an armchair and
waited. He dipped into this bottle or
that, drawing out a few drops of each
with his glass pipette, and finally
brought test-tube containing a solu-
ton over to the table. In his right
hand he held a slip of litmus-paper.
You come at crisis, Watson" said
he. "1f this paper remains blue, all
is well. If it turns red, it means a
mans life" He dipped it into the
test tube and it flushed at once into a
dull. dirty crimson. Hum! I thought
as much" he cried. Il will be at your
service in an instant. Watson. You
will find tobacco in the Persian slip.

bled off several kilograms, which were
handed over to the page-boy. Then he
threw himself down into the chair Cd

his fingers clasped around his long
thin shins.

Dreco has proven an ideal tonic for
elderly persons, also weak. sickly
people and children. II builds them
up, creates a healthy appetite; induces
sound, refreshing sleep; keeps the
bowels moving, the kidneys active ana
clears the bile from the liver. Dreco
is pleasant to take and the action is
prompt, pleasant and efficient.
Dreco is being specially introduced
by Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores in
Richmond and sold by all druggists.

which ] had the privilege Of being as
ISOLATED with Sherlock Holmes and
of studying his methods. find them

ings of 'The Adventure of the Second

in which Holmes was engaged has
ever illustrated the value Of his analy-
teal methods so clearly or has i'm
pressed those who were. associated
with him so deeply. l still retain an
almost verbatim report OF the inter-
view in which he demonstrated the
true facts Of the case to Monsieur Du-
bugue of the Paris police, and Fritz
Won Waldbaum, the well-known spe-
cialist Of Dantzig, both Of whom had
wasted their energies upon what
proved to be side-issues. The new
century will have to come, however,
q. before the story can be safely told.
Meanwhile l pass on to the second on
my list, which promised also at one
time to be of national importance. and
was marked by several incidents
which give it quite unique character.
During my school days I had been
intimately associated with lad
named Percy Phelps, who was Of much
the same age as myself, though he was
two classes ahead of me. He was a
very brilliant boy, and carried away
every prize which the school had to
Soffer, finishing his exploits by win
ming a scholarship which sent him on
to continue his triumphant career at
Cambridge. He was, I remember, ex-
tremely well connected, and even
when we were all little boys together
we knew that his mothers brother
was Lord Holdhurst, the great con-
sentative politician. This gaudy re-
lationship did him little good at
school. On the contrary, it seemed
rather a piquant thing to us to chevy
him about the playground and hit him
over the shins with a wicket. But it
was another thing when he came out
into the world. / heard vaguely that
his abilities and the influences which
he commanded had won him a good
position at the Foreign Office, and
then he passed completely out of my
mind until the following letter re-
called his existence:
"Briarbrae, Woking
my dear Watson-I have no doubt
that you can remember 'Tadpole'
Phelps. who was in the fifth form
when you were in the third. 1t is
possible even that you may have
heard that through my uncle's influ-
ence l obtained a good appointment
at the Foreign Office, and that l was
in situation of trust and honor until
a horrible misfortune came suddenly
to blast my career.
There is no use writing the details
of that dreadful event. In the event
of your acceding to my request it is
probable that I shall have to narrate

We were fortunate enough to catch
an early train at Waterloo, and in a
little under an hour we. found our
selves among the fir.woods and the
heather Of Working. Briarbrae proved
to be large detached house standing
in extensive grounds within a few min
utes' walk of the station. On sending
in our cards We were shown into an
elegantly appointed drawing room,
where We were joined in a few min
utes by rather stout man who re-
ceived US with much hospitality. 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 impression Of a plump,
mischev1ous boy

said he, shaking our hands with effu-
sion. Percy has been inquiring for

"Of course you saw the J. H. mon
ogram on my locket," said he. For a
| moment l thought you had done some
| thing clever. Joseph Harrison is by
| name, and as Percy is to marry my
sister Annie, shall at least be a rela-
tive by marriage. You will find my
sister in his room, for she has nursed
him hand-and-foot this two months
back. Perhaps We had better go in

The chamber in which we were
| shown was on the same floor as the
drawing room. 1t was furnished part
| ly as a sitting room and partly as a
bedroom, with flowers arranged daint-
! lily in every nook and corner. A young
man. very pale and worn, was lying
| upon sofa near the open window,
, through which came the rich scent of
the garden and the balmy summer air.
A woman was sitting beside him, who
