The story thus far:

The story thus far:
Alexander Holder, Of the banking
firm of Holder Il Stevenson, second
largest private banking concern IN
the City Of London, called on Holmes
for assistance. He said that the morn
ing before man Of high position bad
come To him to ask for loan OF fifty
thousand pounds. which he would repay
tho following Monday. As security
he left the Bcryl coronet, one Of the most
precious possessions OF the Empire
priceless in value. Mr.. Holder protested,
against accepting such valuable
security, but the great man reassured
him. =,
So hc left with his loan and MIR.
Holder, worried over the safety Of
the coronct, took it home with him and
locked il in bureau drawer. His
household consisted Of his orphaned
niece. Mary, who WAS as daughter
20 him, his son Arthur. n rather wild
young man, always IN debt and much
under the influence Of Sir George Burn
well, charming but unscrupulous
friend, and servants who, with the eN-
ccption of one young and pretty girl,
Lucy Parr, had been with blm for II
long time. As Mr.. Holder was locking
UP the night before Mary remarked that
she had seen Lucy just come in, though
she had not had permission TO go out.
Arthur asked his father for money FOR n
debt of honor, but was refused. In the
night Mr.. Holder was horrihed 10 be
awakened by noise IN his dresslng-room
where the coronet was locked. He
ran TO see who was there.
He discovered his son Arthur Holder
snatched the cor6nct from the young
man, and found n corner containing
three OF the beryls missing. The son
was extremely indignant when his father
called him thiof, and refused To talk.
The police could find nothing OF the
missing beryls, though they arrested
the son.
Holmes and Watson went TO Far
bank, Holders house. There they
met MARY, who protested that Arthur
was innocent. Holmes looked at the
coronet and, by cxcrting all his
strength in an effort 10 break of another
corner, proved that this could not have
been done. lie made thorough invcstl-
cation and left for London.
After his return home Holmes, dressed
rs a tramp, made some Investigations
and later, in his own character, made
others. Next morning MIR. Holder came
90 him To say his niece Mary had left
home, saying in note she had been the
cause of all the trouble. lie had always
felt that il she had married Arthur he
would have reformed, and he supposed
she felt rcmorseful at not having done so.
Holmes asked Holder 10 make out a
check for four thousand pounds and then
produced the missing jewels. Holmes
said Holder owed his son On apology, for
he had not committed the theft.

Preaching to congregation OF
about 400 people, gathered in st.
l>aIl's JnGrcl, sunday night, Rev.
K Y. Nicholson. the pastor and one
of the best orators on Cambridge,
points out in his sermon on Person
al Liberty" that mans personal
another's liberty and proves that it is
beyond doubt the duty of each and
every citizen of the United States 10
uphold the laws of the land.
He stated that there were many is
sues before the American people to-
dav asking for liberty, and these is
sues should be discussed in the prop
er places, and points out that the
church was no place for political
speeches but when movements are
started to destroy part of thes consti-
tuition of our country and an organl-
cation seeks aid from our churches

REGARDLESS of others " He gave the IL
lustration when man has the right

and harms his family. Where is
his family's rights? The drunken
man enjoys his personal liberty but
how about his family's.
He asked that everything be taken
away that would jeopardize the life
of man. He continued that Gods
men and real men found pleasure in
obeying the laws. True citizens obey
the laws and little folks have their
personal liberty.
Rev. Nicholson stated that the ear
II prophets of Iseral and Rome were
against wine not whiskey drinking.
Wine and beer drunkenness is beast

He said wine and beer may come
back but never by his signature. He
said self denial was real test OF

much he puts in the plate.
No man can keep his eye on chiV-
alery and belong to any organization
that will bring back to our state and

Everyone who heard the sermon is
