Our morning's exertions had been too much for my weak health, and I was tired out in the afternoon. After Holmes' departure for the concert I lay down upon the sofa and endeav ored to get a couple of hours’ sleep. It was a useless attempt. My mind had been too much excited by all that occurred, and the strangest fancies and surmises crowded into it. ICvery time that I closed my eyes 1 saw be fore me the distorted, baboon-liktf countenance of the murdered man. So sinister was the impression which that face produced upon me that I found it difficult to feel anything but gratitude for him wao had removed its owner from the world. If ever human features bespoke vice of the most malignant type, they were cer tainly those of Enoch J. Drebber, of Cleveland. Still, I recognized that justice must be done, and that the depravity of the victim was no con- donement in the eyes of the law. The more I thought of it the more extraordinary did my companion's hypothesis, that the man had been poisoned, appear I remembered lost the ring In the road sftrr leaving the house What mould he do then’ He would eagerly look out for the "1 11 follow her. he aald. hurried ly.

Why should he fear a trap? There would be no reason In his eyes why the finding of the ring should be connected with the murder. He would come. He will come. You shall see him within an hour.” “And then?” I asked. “Oh, you can leave me to deal w r ith him then. Have you any arms?” "I have my old service revolver and a few cartridges.” "You had better clean it and load it. He will be a desperate man, and, though I shall take hi n unawares, it is as well to be ready for anything.” I went to my bedroom and follow ed his advice. When I retur/ied with the pistol the table had been cleared, and Holmes was engaged in his fav orite occupation of scraping upon his violin. "The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered. "I have just bad an answer from my American telegram. My view of the case is the correct one.” “And that is?” I asked, eagerly. "My fiddle would be the better for new strings,” he remarked.

The hall door had hardly slammed behind our visitor before Holmes had descended the stair Looking through the window. I could see her walking feebly along the other side, while her pursuer dogged her some little dis tance behind. “Either his whole theory Is incor rect,” I thought to myself, “or else he will be led now to the heart of the mystery.” There was no need for him to ask me to wait up for him. for 1 felt that sleep was impossible until I heard the result of his adventure. It was close upon nine when he set out. I had no idea how long he might be, but T sat stolidly puffing at my pipe and skipping over the pages of Henri Murger’s “Vie de Boheme”. Ten o’clock passed, and I heard the footsteps of the maids as they pat tered off to bed. Eleven, and ttm more stately tread of the landlady- passed by my door, bound for the same destination. It it was close upon twelve before I h<-ard the sharp sound of his latch-key.
