plaster casts OF Napoleon duplicates OF

morning Holmes received note from

diatcly To AN address IN kenslngton
and hc and Watson rushed there.
At the house they went To they
met Mr.. Horace Harkcr of the Central

lying on his doorstep. In bis pocket
were n shoe string. an apple, map OF
London and a photograph of an unprc-
possessing man. Under n lamp down
the street was the shattered bust of
Napoleon. Mr.. llarkcr started To write
up the murder for his paper.

"The main fact is that he had the
pearl, and at that moment, when It
was on his person, he was pursued by
the police. lie made for the factory in
which he worked, and he know that he
had only few minutes in which To con-
ccal this enormously valuable prize, ,which
would otherwise bc found on him when
he was searched. Six plaster casts of
Napoleon were drying in the passage.
One of them was still soft. In an in
stant Bcppo, o skilful workman, made
n. small hole in the wet plaster
dropped in the pearl, and with a few
touches covered over the aperture
once more. Ii was an admirable hiding
place. No one could possibly find IT,
But Bcppo was condemned to n years
imprisonment, and in the meanwhile his
six busts were scattered over London.
He could not tell winch contained his
treasure. Only Ivy breaking them could
he sec. Even shaking would tell him
it was probable that the pearl would
adhere To it--as in fact, il has done.

cousin who works with Gelder. he found

bustS. lie managed to find employment

tracked down three of them. The
pearl was not there. Then. with the
help OF some Italian cmployc. he sue
cccded in finding out where the other
three butsS had gone. The first was at
llarkcr's. There he was doggcd by his
confederate who held Beppo cSponSible
