A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA ♦ BY SIR A. CONAN DOYLE. (Continued from last issue.) (Tiapter III. The lamps had been lit, but the blinds had not been drawn, eo that I could see Holmes as he lay upon the couch. I do not know whether he was seized with compunction at that mo ment for the part he was playing, but I know that I never felt more heartily ashamed of myself in my life than when I saw the beautiful creature against whom I was con spiring, or the grace and kindlinese with which she waited upon the in jured man. And yet it would be the blackest treachery to Holmee to draw back now from the part which he had intrusted to me. I hardened my heart, and took the smoke-rocket from under my ulster. After all, 1 thought, we are not injuring her. We are but preventing her from injuring another. Holmes had sat upon the couch, and I saw him motion like a man who is in need of air. A maid rushed across ami threw open the window. At the same instant I saw him raise his hand, and at the signal I tossea my rocket into the room with a cry ( of ‘ Fire'’’ The word wms no sooner out of my mouth than the whole crowd of spectators, well dressed and ill gentlemen, hostlers, and servant maids mined in a general shriek of “Fire''’ Thick clouds of smoke curl ed the room, and out at the open w indow. 1 caught a glimpse of rush ing figures, and a moment later the voice of Holmes from witliiu assur ing them that it was a false alarm Slipping through the shouting crowd 1 made my way to the Xyrner ^f the street, and in ten minutt's was re joiced to find my friend s arki in mine and to get awav from thfl scene of uproar He walked swiftrv and In. silence fur some few minutes, until we had turned down one of the quiet streets which led towards the Edge- ware Hoad “You did it very nicely, doctor," he remarked "Nothing could have been better It Is all right " "You have the photograph*" "I know w here it is " "And how did you And out’" "She showed m»*, as 1 told you ahe would" "I am •till In the dark " "I do not wish to make a mystery," aald he. laughling "The matter was perfectly simple You, of course saw ttiat everyone In the street was an accomplice They were engaged for the evening I guessed as much " "Then, when the row broke oir* I had a little moist red paint In the palm of m> hand 1 rushed forward, fell down, elupped my hand to my face, and he< ume a piteous »p*«'tacle It U an old trick "That also I could fathom " Then they tarried me in She was bound to have me in \\ hat else could I do’ And into her sitting room, which was the very room I suapected It lay between that aud her bedroom, and I was determined to see which They laid me on a couch, I motioned for air. they were compelled to open the window, and you had your chance " "How did that help you’" "It whs all important "When a wroman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values ma*t It is a perfectly overpow/wlng im pulse. and I have more than once taken advantage of it. In the case of the Darlington Substitution Scan dal it was of use to me, and also in the Ainsworth Castle business, A married woman grabs at her baby - an unmarried one reaches for her jewelry box. Now it was clear to me that our lady of today had nothing In the house more precious to her than what we .are in quest of. She would rush to secure It. The alarm of fire was admirably done. The smoke and shouting were enough to shake nerves of steel. She respond ed beautifully! “THe photograph is in a recess behind a sliding panel just above the risrht bell-pull. She was there in an instant, and I caught a glimpse of it as she drew’ It out. When I cried out that it was a false alarm, she replaced it, glanced at the rocket, rushed from the room, and I have not seen her sirtce. I rase, and, making my excuses, escaped from the house. I hesitated whether to at tempt to secure the photograph at once; but the coachman had come In, and as he was watching me narrow ly, It seemed safer to wi)it. A little over-precipitance may ruin all.” ‘‘And now,” I asked. ‘‘Our quest is practically finished. I shall call with the king to<morrow r , and with you, if you care to come with us. We will be shown into the sitting room to wait for the lady, but it is probable that wheji she comes she may find neither us nor the phot ograph. It might be a satisfaction to his majesty to regain it with his own hands.” "And when will you call? ‘'At eight in the morning. She will not be up, so that we shall have a clear field. Besides, we must be prompt, for this marriage may mean a complete change In her Hfe and habits. I must wire to the king with out delay.” We had reached Baker Street, and had atopped at the door. He was searching hla pockets for the key, when someone passing said: “Good night, Mister Sherlock Holmes.” There were several people on the pavement at the time, but the greet ing appeared to come/from a slim youth In an ulster who had hurried by. ‘T have heard that voice before," said Holmes, staring down the dimly lighted street. “Now, I wonder who the deuce that could have been?” <1 slept at Baker Street that night, and we were engaged upon our toast and coffee In the morning, when the King of Bohemia rushed into the room. “You have really got it?” he cried, grasping Sherlock Holmes by either shoulder, and looking eagerly into hi® fade. “Not yet.” “But you have hopes?” “I have hopes.” “Then come. I am all Impatience to be gone.” "We must have a cab.” “No, my brougham la waiting.” “Then that will simplify matters.” We descended, and started oft once more for Briony Lodge. "Irene Adler is married,” remark ed Holmes. “Married! When?” “Yesterday.” “But to whom?” “To an English lawyer named Nor ton." “Hut she could not love him.” “I a *n in ho| >es that s he doe*. ” "A ml why in hopos?"

My friend tore it open, and we all thrt'e read It together It was dated at midnight of the preceding night, and ran in this w ay "My Dear'Mr Sherlock Holmes, You really did it very well. You took me in completely. I'ntil after the alarm of fire, I had not a suspi cion. But then, when I found how I had betrayed myself, 1 began to think. I had been, warned against you months ago. I had been told that if the king employed an agent, it would certainly be you. And your address had been given me. Yet, with all this, you made me reveal what you wanted to know. Even af ter I became suspicious, I found it hard to think evil of such a dear, kind old clergyman. But, you know, I have been trained as an actress my self. Male costume is nothing new to me. I often take advantage of the freedom which it gives. I sent John, the coachman, to watch you, ran up stairs, got into my walking clothes, as I call them, and came down just as vou departed. “Well, I followed you to the door, and so made sure that I was really an object of interest to the celebrat ed Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Then I, rather imprudently, wished you good night, and started for the Temple to sqe my husband. “We both thougnt the best re source was flight, when pursued by so formidable an antagonist; so you will find the nest empty when you call to-morrow. As to the photo graph, your client may rest in peace. I love and am loved by a better man than he. The king may do what he will without hindrance from one whom he has cruelly wronged. I keep It only to safeguard myself, and preserve a weapon which will always secure me from any steps which he might take in the future. I leave a photograph which he might oare to possess; and I remain, dear Mr. Sher lock Holmes, very truly yours, Irens Norton, nee Adler.” MAKE THREAT GOOD GOT. RELEASE UPHOLD HIS NE GRO CHAUFFEUR STANDS BY HIS NIGGER The Governor Adds Three More Men to City Constabulary by Way of Retaliation for Fining of His Chauffeur for Exceeding Speed Limit on the Streets. “He who laughs last laughs best,” remarked Governor Blease Monday morning in saying that as a result of the fining of his negro chauffeur by the city of Columbia for speeding he had added three more men to the Columbia constabulary, each of them drawing a salary of $90 per month, half of which is paid by the county and half by the city. The added expense, the Governor explained, was put on Columbia for fining his negro chauffeur. “I told them at the time it would be a dear fine and you can figure out for your self just how much those fines are costing the city of Columbia," con tinued the Governor.

Bray tell me in what way I can re ward you This ring - ” He slip- tie] an emerald snake ring from his finger, and held it out upon the palm of his hand. "Your majesty has something which I should value even more highly," said Holmes. “You have but to name it.’’ "This photograph!” The king stared al him in amaze ment. “Irene's photograph!" he Cried. “Certainly, if you wish it.” “I thank your majesty. Then there is no more to be done in the matter. I have the honor to wish you a very good-morning.” He bow ed, and turning away without ob serving the hand which the king had stretched out to him, he set off in my company for his chambers. And that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman’s wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her pho tograph, it is always under the lion orable title of THE woman. (THE END.) Separate Pullman Coaches. Senator E. I). Smith Monday intro duced a bill providing that transpor tation companies operating Pullman or other sleeping cars through one or more States having laws requiring separate coaches or compartments for the races, shall provide separate and distinct accommodations for the conveyance of white and colored paa- sengera in transit through aald Btatea, auch accommodations to be equal aa to comfort.

When they were forced to fall out ready hands were extended by the Veterans in the au tomobiles and amid renewed ebeera from the spectators they were hauled aboard to continue the march under less trying conditions.
