i A SCANDAL
IN BOHEMIA
I
BY SI K A. TON AN IK)YL1C.
In Three (linptcrs?Chupter II.
I At three o'clock precisely 1 was at
Baker Street, but Holmes had not yet
returned. The landlady informed mo
that he had left the house shortly
g after eight o'clock in the morning.
1 sat down beside the lire, however,
with tho intention of awaiting him,
however long he might he. 1 was
already deeply interested in his inquiry,
for, though it was surrounded
by none of the grim and strange features
which were associated with the
two crimes which I have already recorded,
still the nature of the case
and the exalted station of his client
gave it a character of its own. In-J
deed, apart from the nature of the
investigation which my friend had on ,
j hand, there was something in his
masterly grasp of a situation, and his
keen, incisive reasoning, which made
it a pleasure to me to study his sysAl
tern of work, and to follow the quick,
te
subtle methods by which he disentan8
glod the most inextricable mysteries.
So accustomed was I to his invari1
able success that the very possibility
of his failing had ceased to enter
1 into my head.
, It was close upon four before the
door opened, and a drunken-looking
groom, ill-kempt and side-whiskered,
with an inflamed face and disreputable
clothes, walked into the room.
Accustomed as 1 was to my friend's
amazing powers in the use of dis1
guises, I had to look three times bofore
1 was certain that it was indeed
1 he. With a nod he vanished into the
IV
bedroom, when be emeriron fU-.?

utes tweed-suited and respectable, as
y
of old. Putting bis bands into bis
])oekets, he stretched out his legs in
^ front of the lire, and laughed heartily
for some minutes.
"Well, really!" he cried, and then
he choked, and laughed again until
he was obliged to lie back, limp and
H( *
helpless, in the chair.
? "What is it?"
^ "It's quito too funny. 1 am sure
you could never guess how 1 employed
my morning, or what 1 ended by
ir doing,"
w "J Can't imagine. I suppose that
vi you have been watching the habits,
id and, perhaps, the house, of Miss Irene
ir Adler."
j "Quite so, but the sequel was rathui
er unusual. I will tell you, however.
lsi I left the house a little after eight
oj o'clock this morning in the character
a? of a groom out of work. There is a
>r wonderful sympathy and freemasonry
" among horsy men. Be one of them,
?n and you will know all that there* is to
st know. I soon found Iliriony Lodge,
tit It is a bijou villa, with a garden at
s? the back, but built out in the front
11 right up to the road, two stories,
m Chubb lock to the door. Large sitting-room
on the right side, well furv
nished, with long windows almost to
uf the lloor, and those preposterous
d English window-fasteners which a
5V child could on on Unbind fbnrn \irna
n nothing remarkable, save that the
p passage window could be reached
lr from the top of the coach-house. I
ei walked round it and examined it
ir closely from every point of view, but
ul without noting anything else of in't|
terest.
ir "I then lounged down the street,
and found, as I expected, that there
&t was a mews in a lane which runs
01 down by one wall of the garden. I
c lent the hostlers a hand in rubbing
1 down their horses, and I received in
t exchange twopence, a glass of halfand-lialf,
two fills of shag tobacco,
f and as much information as 1 could
a desire al?out Miss Adler, to say noth
1 ing of a half dozen other people in
< the neighborhood, in whom I was not
f?. in the least interested, but whose
- biographies I was compelled to listen
>r to."
w "And what of Ireno Adler?" I askI
ed.
T "Oh, she has turned all tho men's
5l heads down in that part. She is the
daintiest thing under a bonnet on this
n planet. So say the Serpentine Mews,
6 to a man. She lives quietly, sings at
concerts, cinveB our at live every clay,
e and returns at seven sharp for dinIt
ner. Seldom goes out at other times,
d except when she sings. lias only one
^ male visitor, but a good deal of him.
Y lie is dark, handsome, and dashing;
r never calls less than once a day, and
)V often twice. Ho is a Mr. Godfrey
Norton of the Inner Temple. See the
l\ advantages of a cabman as a con ills
dant. They had driven him home a
>f dozen times from Serpentine Mews,
il and knew all about him. When I had
Li listened to all that they had to tell,
I began to walk up and down near
a; Ilriony Lodge once more, and to
r think over my plan of campaign.
Ic "This Godfrey Nortion was ovi1(
dently an important factor in the
matter. He was a lawyer. That
sounded ominous. What was the relation
between them, and what the
9 object of his repeated visits? Was
11 she his client, his friend, or his misa
tress? If the former, she had probc
ably transferred the photograph to
r 1.1. ? II * 1 1 ? 41 ia i
? iim ntjcpuiK. u iiiw itil.it;r, it was loss
* likely. On the issue of this question
depended whether I should continue
H my work at Brlony Lodge, or turn
11 my attention to the gentleman's
l' chambers In the Temple. It was a
5 delicate point, and it widened the
a field of my inquiry. I fear Uiat I
9 bore you with details, but I have to I
i
let you Bee my little dllliculties, if
you are to understand the situation."
"L am following you closely," 1
answered.
"I was still balancing the matter
in my mind, when a liansom cab
drove up to Hriony Lodge, and a gentleman
sprung out. Ho was a remarkably
handsome man, dark, aquiline,
and mustached -evidently the!
man of whom 1 had heard, lie appeared
to be in a great hurry, shouted
to the cabman to wait, and brushed
past the maid who opened the
door, with the air of a man who was
thoroughly at homo.
"He was in the house about half an
l ah r f? 11 /i t
uvui , ?iiu x ' "ii 111 i in <n glimpses Ol
him In the windows of the slttlngrooin,
pacing up and down, talking
excitedly and waving his arms. Of
her I could see nothing. Presently
he emerged, looking even more Hurried
than before. As he stepped up
to tho cab, ho pulled a gold watch
from his pocket and looked at It
earnestly. 'Drive like the devil!' he
shouted, 'first to Gross & Hankey's
in Regent Street, and then to the
Church of St. Monica in tin; ICdgeware
Road. Half a guinea if you do
it in twenty minutes!'
"Away they went, and I was just
wondering whether I should not do
well to follow them, when up the
lane came a neat little landau, the
coachman with his coat half buttoned,
while all the tags of his harness
were sticking out of the buckles. It
hadn't pulled up before she shot out
of the hall door into it. I only caught
a glimpse of her at tho moment, hut
she was a lovely woman, with a face
that a man might die for.
" 'The Church of St. Monica, John,'
she cried; 'and half a sovereign if you
reach it in twenty minutes.'
"This was quite too good to lose,
Watson. I was just balancing whether
I should run for it, or whether 1
should porch behind her landau,
when :i cn.li nnmo flii-nncri> Hm
The driver looked twice at such a
shabby fare; but I jumped in
before ho could object. 'The
Church of St. Monica,' said I, 'and
half a sovereign if you reach it in
twenty minutes.* It was twenty-five
minutes to twelve, and of course It
was clcpr enough what was in the
wind.
"'My cabby drove fast. I don't
think I ever drove faster, but the I
others wero there before us. The :
cab and landau with their steaming
horses were in front of the door
when I arrived. I paid the man, and
hurried into the church. There was
not a soul there save the two whom I
had followed, and a surpliced clergyman,
who seemed to bo expostulating
with them. They were all three
standing in a knot in front of the
altar, I lounged up the side aisle
like any other idler Who has dropped
into a church. Suddenly to my surprise,
the three at the altar faced
round to mo, and Godfrey Norton
came running as hard as he could towards
me.
"'Thank God!' he cried. 'You'll
do. Come! Come!'
" 'What then?' I asked.
" 'Come, mnn nr?rr?r?? i.~~
- , ?, vv/mvy , V/lil J 111 1 IX'
minutes, or it won't be legal.'
"I was half dragged up to the
altar, and, before I knew where I
was, I found myself mumbling responses
which were whispered in my
ear, and vouching for thing of which
I knew nothing, and generally assisting
in tlio secure tying up of Irene
Adler, spinster, to Godfrey Norton,
bachelor. It was all done in an instant,
and there was the gentleman
thanking me on the one side and the
lady on the other, while the clergyman
beamed on me in front. Jt was
the most preposterous position in
which I ever found myself in my
life, and it was the thought of it
that started me laughing just now.
It seems that there had been some
informality about their license; that
the clergyman absolutely refused to
marry them without a witness of
some sort, and that my lucky appearance
saved the bridegroom from having
to sally out into the streets in
search of a best man. The bride
gave me a sovereign, and I mean to
wear it on my watch chain in memory
of the occasion."
"This is a very unexpected turn of
affairs," said I; "and what then?"
"Well, I found my plans were very
seriously menaced. it looked as if
the pair might take an immediate do
part ure, and bo necessitate very
prompt and energetic measures on
my part. At tho church door, however,
they separated, he driving back
to tho Temple, and she to her own
house. 'I shall drive out In the park
at five as usual,' she said, as she left
him. I heard no more. They drove
away in different directions, and I
went off to make my own arrangements."
"Which are?"
"Some cold beef and a glass of
beer," he answered, ringing the bell.
"I have been too busy to think of
food, and I tun likely to be busier this
evening. Itty the way, doctor, I shall
want your co-operation."
"I shall be delighted."
"You don't mind breaking the
law?"
"Not in the least."
"Nor running a chance of arrest?"
"Not in a good cause."
"Oh, the cause is excellent!"
"Then I am your man."
"I was sure that I might rely on
you."
"But what is it you wish?" 1
"When Mrs. Turner has brought in
the tray I will make it clear to you. '
Now," he said, as he turned hungri- (
ly on the simple fare that our land* '
lady had provided, "I must discuss it
v. hile I eat, for 1 have not much time,
It is nearly live now. In two hours
we must be on the scene of action.
Miss Irene, or Madame, rather returns
from her drive at seven. We
must he at Hriony Lodge to meet
her."
"And what then?"
"You must leave that to me. I have
already arranged what is to occur.
There is only one point on which I
must insist. You must not interfere,
come what may. You understand?"
"! am tn lw? nontroH"
"To do nothing whatever. There
will probably be Home small unpleasantness.
Do not join in it. It will
end in my being conveyed into the
house. Four or five minutes afterwards
the sitting-room window will
he open. You are to station yourself
close to that open window."
"Yes."
"You are to watch me, for I will be
visible to you."
"Yes."
"And when T raise my hand?so?
you will throw into the room what I
give you to throw, and will, at the
same time, raise the cry of lire. You
quite follow me?"
"Entirely."
"It Is nothing very formidable," he
said, taking a long, cigar-shaped roll
from his pocket. "It is an ordinary
plumber's smoke-rocket, fitted with
a cap at either end, to mako it selflighting.
Your task is confined to
that. When you raise your cry of
fire, it will be taken up by quite a
number of people. You may then
walk to the end of the street, and I
will rejoin you in ten minutes. 1
hope that I have made myself clear?"
"1 am to remain neutral, to get
near the window, to watch you, and,
at the signal, to throw in this object,
then raise the cry of fire, and to wait
you at the corner of the street."
"Precisely."
"Then you may entirely rely on
me."
"That is excellent. I think, perllflllC

for the new role I have to play."
He disappeared into his bedroom,
and ; turned in a few minutes in the
el lor of an amiable and simple:
i .od Nonconformist clergyman.
1 broad, black hat, his baggy trouss,
his white tie, his sympathetic
mile, and general look of peering
.iiul benevolent curiosity were such as
Mr. John Hare alone could have
equaled. It was not merely that
Holmes changed his costume. His
expression, his manner, his very soul
seemed to vary with every fresh part
that ho assumed. The stage lost a
tine actor, even as science lost an
acute reasoner, when be became a
specialist in crime.
Tt was a quarter past six when we
left Baker Street, and it still wanted
ten minutes to tho hour when we
found ourselves in Serpentine Avenue.
It was already dusk, and the
lamps were just being lighted as we
paced up and down in front of Briony
Lodge, waiting for the coming of its
occupant. The house was just such
as I had pictured it from Sherlock
Holmes' succinct description, but tho
locality appeared to be less private
than I expected. On the contrary,
for a small street in a quiet neighborhood,
it was remarkably animated.
There was a group of shabbily
dressed men smoking and laughing
in a corner, a scissors-grinder with
his wheel, two guardsmen who were
flirting with a nurse-girl, and several
well-dressed young men who were
lounging up and down with cigars in
their mouths.
"You see," remarked Ilolmes, as
we passed to and fro in front of the
house, "this marriage rather simplifies
matters. The photograph becomes
a double-edged weapon now.
The chances are that she would be as
averse to its being seen by Mr. Godfrey
Norton as our client is to its
COmillGT tO tllP OVOO r?f liin ? i
VU U1 llin [/I IllCUbS.
Now the question is?where are we
to find the photograph?"
"Where, indeed?"
"It is most unlikely that she carries
it about with her. It is cabinet
size. Too large for easy concealment
about a woman's dress. She
knows that the king is capable of
having her waylaid and searched.
Two attempts of the sort have already
been made. We may take it,
then, that she does not carry it about
with her."
"Her banker or her lawyer. There
is that double possibility. But I am
inclined to think neither. Women are
naturally secretive, and they like to
do their own secreting. Why should
she hand it over to any one else?
She could trust her own guardianship,
but she could not tell what indirect
or political influence might be
brought to bear upon a business man.
Besides, remember that she had resolved
it within a few days. It must
be where she can lay here hands
upon it. It must be in her own
house."
"But it has twice been burglarized."
"Pshaw! They did not know how
to look."
"But how will you look?" ?
"I will not look."
"What then?"
"I will get her to show me."
" Hut alio will refuse."
"She will not ,be able to. But I ,
hear the rumblo of wheels. It is
her carriage. Now carry out my orders
to the letter."
As he spoke, the gleam of the sidelights
of a carriage came round the
curve of the avenue. It waa a smart I

DEATH COMES AT LAST
THK MACON ItANKEK DIES AFTEK
lilt A VIC FIOHT.
Tin* Young Itusiness Man Does to llis
Fnd With Designation That Commands
Admiration.
After quietly facing for a week the
inevitable result of his mistake in
taking bichloride of mercury, thinking
it headache tablet, '11. Sanders
Walker, prominent young banker and
realty dealer of Macon (la., died
Thursday morning at 1:35 o'clock.
Members of the family had gathered
at his bedside several days ago
when the doctors announced there
was no hope for him, and to them
Mr. Walker gave no sign of a tremor,
but went to his death with a resignation
that has rendered the case
more than * usually interesting
throughout the country.
During tlu> last day he was under
the influence of opiates most of the
time but in conscious intervals gave
evidence that he was not suffering.
Scores of sympathetic messages
were received by the family and many
of them were in the nature of inquiries
as to the treatment being given
Mr. Walker. It lias been impossible to
find out definitely what course the
physicians took as they have refused
to talk except to briefly trace the
progiess of the poison's slow but
deadly effect.
Members of the family are quoted
s expressing much dissatisfaction
with some of the reports that have
originated in Macon. They declare
that Mr. Walker remained constantly
in his bed room after it was discovered
that he had taken the fatal dose.
Interest of specialists and the public
generally throughout the country
has been aroused by the fortitude
with which the young banker has
I combated the slow, hut steady, work
of the deadly posion. Countless
messages conveying sympathy and
suggesting methods of treatment
have flooded tlie Walker home.
Despite assurances of the certainty
of death as a result of bis paralyzed
organs, Walker's belief that he would
recover was not shaken at a late
hour. Repeatedly Wednesday he
sought to comfort his wife, struggling
to bear up under the trying ordeal.
The young banker also displayed
keen interest in the conferences held
by liis physicians and begged his
nurse to tell him exactly what conclusions
they had reached.
Walker frequently requested, until
ho became intermittently unconscious
to be permitted to talk with his relatives,
practically all of his immediate
family having been summned to
the patient's home when he became

corner dashed forward to open the
door in the hope of earning a copper.
but was elbowed away by another
loafer who had rushed up with the
same intention. A fierce quarrel
broke out which was increased by the
two guardsmen, who took sides with
one of the loungers, and by the scissors-grinder,
who was equally hot
up?n the other side. A blow was
struck, and in an instant the lady,
who had stopped from hor carriage,
was the center of a little knot of
struggling men who struck savagely
at each other with their fists and
stocks. Holmes dashed into the
crowd to protect the lady; but, just
as he reached her, he gave a cry and
dropped to the ground, with the
blood running freely down his face.
At his fall the guardsmen took to
their heels in one direction and the
loungers in the other, while a number
of better dressed people who had
watched the scuffle without taking
part in it crowded in to help the lady
and to attend to the injured man.
Irene Adler, as I will still call her,
had hurried up the steps; but she
stood at the top, with ther superb
figure outlined against the lights of
the hall, looking hack into the street.
"Is the poor gentleman much
hurt?" she asked.
"He is dead," cried several voices.
"No, no, there's life in him,"
shouted another. "But he'll be gone
before you can get him to the hospital."
"He's a brave fellow. "They
would have had the lady's purse and
watch if it hadn't been for him. They
were a gang, and a rough one, too.
Ah! he's breathing now."
"lie can't lie in the street. May
we bring him in, marm?"
Surley. Bring him into the sitting
room. There is a comfortable sofa.
This way, please." Slowly and solemnly
ho was borne into Ilriony Lodge
and laid out in the principal room,
while I still observed the proceedings
from my post in the window.

Dreadfully from Frozen
liinibs, Lark of Food and Drink.
A description of the terrible Buffering
undergone by members of the
German Arctic expedition, commanded
by Lieut Scliroedor Stranz, which
met disaster in Spitsbergen, is given
in the diary of the artist Herr Have,
one of those rescued.
He telegraphed extracts Thursday
from Advent Lay. giving details of
the movements of the expedition after
its members had abandoned their
vessel, the Ilorzog lOrnst, Septomebr
21, 1012. The extracts in some
places are incomplete and almost incoherent.
They say:
"The proposal to abandon the ship
came from Capt. llitschel at the beginning
of September. The vessel
then had provisions for four months,
besides a large supply of condensed
foods, and she was otherwise well
equipped.
"The party started for Advent Lay
and reached a hut on Wide Lay on
October 4. Dr. Rudigcr, the ocoanographer,
was suffering then from a
half frozen foot, two of his toes being
in bad condition. I offered to remain
with him there until the others
could bring back help. The hut contained
a month's provisions.
"Dr. Itudiger and I were without
tools, sleeping bags or lights. I melted
some fat and made lights and
fashioned some sleeping bags from
salted skins, which I found in the
hut. Dr. Rudiger's foot became
worse and there was no more band
age material.
"The provisions ran out and we
left the hut November 22. honiner to
regain the ship. We suffered severly,
having nothing to drink, but we
finally reached a hut at Mossol Bay,
where we found some hard and
mouldy bread.
"We remained there three days
during a storm and then started
again for the ship, guiding ourselves
by the stars. We arrived at the ship
on December 1.
"Dr. Rudiger meanwhile had suffered
greatly, two more of his toes
and four fingers having boon frozen,
while his foot became so bad that it
had to he amputated. The guides
and sailors of the expedition returned
unexpectdly to the ship December
24, reporting the loss of Eber
hardt. The had no news of Dr. Dettmors
or Dr. Moesor, the botanist.
They said Sapt. Ritschel had gone
on alone to Advent Bay.
"Stave died February 2 4, and the
Norwegian relief expedition, commanded
by Capt. Staxrud, appeared
April 21."
The expedition started last summer
under the patronage of the Duke
of Altenburg with the object of finding
the northeast passage.
