CHAPTKi* V.
Our Advertisenient Hrin^ps a Viaitor.
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. "she mu*’ be an accomplice, and
will lead me to him Walt up for
evening paper, In the hope of seeing me.”
It among the artlclen found His
eye, of course, would light upon this.
He would be overjoyed. 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. "Put
your pi>'ol in your pocket When
the fellow comes, speik to him in

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. The instant
he entered 1 saw by his fare that he
had not been successful Amusement
and chagrin seemed to be struggling
lor the mastery, until the form* r sod-

great length into several internal dis-
scmions that disturbed the organiza

some of its officials, partciuiarly J. P.
Bird, who, he declared, treated him
unfair in discharging him from th»
employ of the Association.
Little of Ewell's testimony bore on
the legislative activities of the Asso
ciation, although he did describe two
conversatons between Mr. Bird and
Col. Martin M. Mulhall, at which he
was present.
“On one occasion,” he said ”1 knew

Kuch I* the I'nllkeljr Story That
Come* From WBAhlngton About
South Carolina Polltlr*.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says South
Carolinians who have recently been in
Washington have mentioned a rumor
which they say has been discussed in
various parts of their State, io the ef
feet that it has been suggested to
Governor Blease by some of his
friends hat ins'ead of running for
the Senate next year he seek a third
term as Governor
In support of this advice, according
to the story, it is urged that there are
a great many more people in the
State who are agressively interestet
nl keeping Blease in the Gubernato
rial chair than are interested in send
ing him to the Senate.
By the time Senator Smith's pres
ent term is over most of the small
amount of patronage that comes to
the junior South Carolina Senator by
reason of the change in the Adminls
tration at Washington will have been
distributed; and It is hardly neces
sary to remark that a Senator cannot

James E. Watson’s refusal to ap
pear before the Senate committee to
answer the Mulhall charges is a very
frank confession that the charges In
his case are unanswerable. If the
former Republican whip and former
Republican candidate for Governor of
Indiana had a plausible explanation
of the damning documents filed
against him he would lose no time in
presenting his defence to the court of
public opinion. He pleads guilty to
the indictment.

The Augusta Chronicle nays, “Hon.
B. R. Tillman holds that th'- new tar
iff measure and the new currency
measure are necessary, in great de
gree, one to the other. And he is
ready to stay on the job till Christ

“there Is a smack of old times in
Senator Tillman's reply to the New
Yorker who charged the Senator with

he used to, but he can write as strong
and as caustic as ever he could.
