CHAPTEUIX
A BHKAX IS THE CIIA1M.
It was late In the afternoon before I
woke, strengthened and refreshed.
Sherlock Holmes still sat exactly as I
had left l'>m, save that he had laid
aside his violin and was deep in a book,
lie looked across at me us 1 stirred, and
I noticed that his face was dark and
troubled.
“You have slept soundly,” he said.
••I feared that our talk would wake
too,
uave considered
ami there is a search
you.
“Have
“I heard noth intr,” 1 answered,
you had fresh news, then?"
“Unfortunately, no. 1 confess that I
sra surprised and disappointed. I ex
pected something definite by this time.
Wiggins has just been up to report,
lie says that no tract; can be found of
the launch. It is a provoking cheek,
for every hour is of importance.”
••Can I do anything? I am perfectly
fresh now, and quite ready for another
night’s outing.”
“No; we can do nothing. We can
only wait. If we go ourselves, the mes
sage might come in our absence, and
delay be caused. You can do what you
will, but I must remain on guard.”
“Then I shall run over to Caml>cr-
well and call upon Mrs. Cecil Forrester.
She asked me to, yesterday.”
“On Mrs. Cecil Forrester?" asked
Holmes, with the twinkle of a smile in
his eyes.
“Well, of course, on Miss Morstan-
too. They were anxious to hear what
happened.’’
“I would not tell them too much,”
laid Holmes. •‘Women are never to be
sntirely trusted—not the best of them.”
1 did not pause to argue over this
itrocious sentiment. “I shall be back
in au hour or two,” I remarked.
•‘All right! Good luckl Hut. I say,
If you are crossing the river you may
is well return Toby, for 1 don’t think
it is at all likely that we shall have
my use for him now.”
I took our mongrel accordingly, and
efthim, together with a hull sovereign
it ths old naturalist’s In I’inchin lane.
It Camberwell I found Miss Mors tan a
little weary after her night’s adven
tures, but very eager to hear the news.
Sirs. Forrester.too,' was full of curios
ity. I told them all that we had done,
suppressing, however, the more dread
ful parts of the tragedy. Thus, al
though I spoke of Mr. Kholto’s death, I
said nothing of the exact manner and
method of it. With all my omissions,
however, there was enough to startle
and amaze them.
“It is a romance!” cried Mrs. Forrea-
tyy. “An injured lady, half a million
it treasure, a black cannibal and a
wooden-legged ruffian. They taka the
place of the conventional dragon or
wicked earl.”
“And two knight-errants to the res
cue," added Miss Morstan, with a
bright glance at me.
“Why, Mary, your fortune depends
upon the issue of this search. I don’t
think that you are nearly excited
enough. Just imagine what it must
be to be so rich and to have the world
at your feet!"
It sent a thrill of joy to my heart to
notice that she showed no sign of ela
tion at the prospect. On the contrary,
she gave a toss of her proud head, as
though the matter were one in which
she took small interest.
“It is for Mr. Thaddeus Sholto that I
am anxious,” she said. "Nothing else
is of any consequence; but I tbink
that he has behaved most kindly and
honorably throughout. It is our duty
to clear him of this dreadful and un
founded charge.”
It was evening before I left Camber
well, and quite dark by the time I
reached home. My companion’s book
and pipe lay by his chair, but he had
disappeared. I looked about in the
hope of seeing a note, but there was
cone.
“I suppose that Mr. Sherlock Holmes
has gone out," I said to Mrs. Hudson as
she came up to lower the blinds.
“No, sir. He has gone to his room,
sir. Do you know, sir,” sinking her
voice into an impressive whisper, “I am
afraid for his health?”
"Why so, Mrs. Hudson?"
“Well, he’s that strange, sir. After
you was gone he walked and he
walked, up and down, and up and
down, until I was weary of the sound
of his footstep. Then 1 heard him
talking to himself and muttering, and
every time the bell rang out he came
on the stair-head with: ‘What is that,
Mrs. Hudson? 1 And now he has
slammed off to his room, but I can hear
him walking away the same as ever. I
hope he’s not going to be ill, sir. I
ventured to say something to him about
cooling medicine, but he turned on me,
sir, with such a look that I don’t know
how I ever got out of the room.”
"I don’t think that you have any
cause to be uneasy, Mrs. Hudson,” I
answered. “I have seen him like this
before. He has some small matter up
on his mind whicli makes him restless.”
I tried to speak lightly to our worthy
landlady, but I was myself somewhat
uneasy when, through the long night,
I still from time to time heard the dull
sound of his tread, and knew how his
keen spirit was chafing against this
involuntary inaction.
At breakfast time he looked worn
and haggard, with a little fleck of
feverish color upon either cheek.
“You are knocking yourself up, old
man,” I remarked. “I heard you march
ing about in the night”
“No, I could not sleep,” he answered.
“This Infernal problem is consuming
me. It is too much to be bulked by so
petty an obstacle, when all else had
been overcome. I know the men, the
launch, everything; and yet I can get
no news. 1 have set other agencies at
work, and used every means at my dis
posal The whole river has been
searched on either side, but there is no
news, nor has Sirs. Smith heard of her
husband. I shall come to the conclu
sion soon that they have scuttled the
craft But there are objections to that.”
“Or that Mrs. Smith ha* put us on a
wrong scent."
“No, I think that may be dismissed.
I had inquiries made, and there is a
launch of that description."

cumstances, many of them trivial in
themselves, but all tending in the same
direction, I could not disguise from
myself that even if llelmes’explana
tion were incorrect the true theory
must l>e equally outre and startling.
At three o’clock in the afternoon
there was a loud peal at the bell, an
authoritative voice in the hall, and. to
my surprise, no less a person than Mr.
Athelney Jones was shown np to me.
\ ery different was he, however, from

came to us either from Wigginsor
from the other agencies. There were
articles in most of the papers upon the
Norwood tragedy. They all appeared
to be rather hostile to the unfortunate
Thaddeus Sholto. No fresh details
were to be found, however, in any of
them, save that an inquest was held
upon the following day. I walked
over to Camberwell in the evening to
to report onr ill success to the ladies,
and on my return I found Holmes de
jected and somewhat morose. He
would hardly reply to my questions,
aud busied himself all evening in an
abstruse chemical analysis which in
volved much heating of retortsand dis
tilling of vapors, ending at last in a
smell whieli fairlv drove me out of the
apartment. Up to the small fours of
tlie morning I could hear the clicking
of Ids test-tubes which told me that he
was still engaged in his malodorous ex
periment.
in the early dawn I woke with a
start, and was surprised to find him
standing by my bedside clad in a rude
sailor’s dress, with a peajacket, aud a
coarse red scarf round his neck.
“I am off down the river, Watson,"
said he. “1 have been turning it over
in my mind, and I can see only one way
out of it. It is worth trying, at all
events.”
“Sorely I can come with you, then,"
said I.
“No; you can be much more useful if
yon will remain here as my represent
ative. I am loath to go, for it is quite
on the cards that some message may
come during the day, though Wiggins
was despondent about it last night. I
want you to open all notes and tele
grams, and to act on your own judg
ment if any news should come. Can I
rely upon yon?”
“Most certainly."
“1 am afraid that you will not be
able to wire to me, for I can hardly tell
yet where I may find myself. If lam
in luck, however, I may not be gone so
very long. I shall have news of some
sort or other before I get back."
I had heard nothing of him by break
fast time. On opening the Standard,
however, I found that there was a
fresh allusion to the business. “With
reference to the Upper Norwood trag
edy,” it remarked, “we have reason to
Ix-iievc that the matter promises to be
even more complex and mysterious
than was originally supposed. Fresh
evidence has shown that it is quite im
possible that Mr. Thaddeus Sholto
could have been in any way concerned
in the matter. He and the house
keeper, Mrs. Hernstone. were both re
leased yesterday evening. It is be
lieved, however, that the police have a
clew to the real culprits, and that it is
being prosecuted by Mr. Athelney
Jones, of Scotland Yard, with all his
well-known energy and sagacity. Fur
ther arrests may be expected at any
moment.”
“That Is satisfactory sm far as it
goes," thought I. “Fricn” Sholto is
safe at any rate. 1 wonder what the
fresh clew may lie; though it seems to
be a stereotyped form whenever the
police have made a blunder.”
I tossed the paper down upon the ta
ble, but at that moment my eye caught
an advertisement in the agony column.
It ran in this way:
“Lost. — Whereas Mordecai Smith,
boatman, and his son Jim left Smith’s
wharf at or about three o'clock last
Tuesday morning in the steam launch
Aurora, black with two red stripes,
funnel black with a white band, the
sum of five pounds will be paid to any
one who can give information to Mrs.
Smith, at Smith’s wharf, or at 221 b
Baker street, as to the whereabouts of
the said Mordecai Smith ana tha
launch Aurora.”
This was clearly Holmes' doing. The
Baker street address was enough to
prove that. It struck me as rather in
genious. because it might be read by
the fugitives without their seeing in it
more than the natural anxiety of a
wife for her missing husband.
It was a long day. Every time that
a knock came to the door, or a sharp
step passed in the street, I imagined
that it was either Holmes returning or
an answer to his advertisement I
tried to read, but my thoughts would
wander off to our strange quest and to
the ill-assorted and villainous pair
whom we were pursuing. Could
there be, I wondered, some radi
cal flaw in my companion's reason
ing? Might he be suffering from
some huge self-deception? Was it not
possible that his nimble and specu-
lative mind had built up this w ild
theory upon faulty premises? I had
never known him to be wrong; and yet
the keenest reasoner may occasionally
be deceived. He was likely, I thought,
to fall into error through the over
refinement of his logic—his preference
for a subtle and bizarre explanation
when a plainer and more common
place one lay ready to his hand. Yet,
on the other hand, I had myself seen
of u little assistance.
“We all need help sometimes,” said I.
“Your friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
is a wonderful man, sir," raid he, in a
husky and confidential voice. “He's a
man who is not to be boat. I have
known that young man go into a good
many cases, but I never taw the case
yet that he could not throw a light
upon. He is irregular in his methods,
and a little quick, perhaps, in jumping
at theories, but. on the whole, 1 think
he would have made a most promising
officer, and I don’t care who knows it.
I have had a wire from him this morn-
ing, by which I understand that he has
got some clew to this Sholto business.
Here is his message.”
He took the telegram out of hia
pocket, and handed it to me. It was
dated from I’oplar at twelve o’clock.
“Go to Baker street at once,” it said.
“If I have not returned, wait for me. I
am close on the track of the Sholto
gang. You can come with us to-night
if you want to be in at the finish."
“This sounds well. He ha* evidently
picked np the scent again,” said I.
“Ah, then he has been at fault too,"
exclaimed Jones, with evident satisfac
tion. "Even the best of us arc thrown
off sometimes. Of course this may
prove to lie a false alarm; but it is my
duty as an officer of the law to allow
no chance to slip. But there is some
one at the door. Perhaps this is he.”
A heavy step was heard ascending
the stairs, with a great wheezing and
rattling as from a man who was sorely
put to it for breath. Once or twice he
stopped, as though the climb was too
much for him, but at last be made his
way to our door and entered. His ap
pearance corresponded to tha sounds
which we had heard. He was an aged
man, clad in seafaring garb, with nn
old peajacket buttoned up to his
throat. His back was bowed, his knees
were shaky, and his breathing was
painfully asthmatic. As he leaned
upon a thick oaken cudgel his shoul
ders heaved In the effort to draw air
into his lungs. He had a colored scarf
round his chin, and 1 could see little of
his face save a pair of keen dark eyes,
overhung by bushy white brows, and

long gray side-whiskers. Altogether
he gave me the impression of a re
spectable master marriner who had
fallen into years and poverty.
“What is it, my man?” I asked.
He looked about him in the slow me
thodical fashion of old age.''
"Is Mr. Bherlock Holmes here?” said
he.
“No; but I am acting for him. You
can tell me any message you have for
him."
"It was to him himself I was to tell
it,” said he.
“But I tell you that I am acting for
him. Was it about Mordecai Smith's
boat?”
“Yes. I knows well where it is. An’
I know* where the men he is after are.
An’ I knows where the treasure is. I
knows all about it.”
“Then tell me, and I shall let him
know.”
“It was to him I was to tell it," he
repeated, with the petulant obstinacy
of a very old man.
“Well, you must wait for him.”
“No, no; I ain’t goin’ to lose a whole
day to please no one. If Mr. Holmes
ain't here, then Mr. Holmes must find
it all out for himself. I don’t care
about the look of either of you, and I
won’t tell a word.”
He shuffled towards the door, but
Athelney Jones got in front of him.
"Wait a bit, my friend,” said he.
“Yon have important information, and
you must not w alk off. We shall keep
you, whether you like or not, until our
friend returns.”
The old man made a little run to
ward* the door, bnt, as Athelney Jones
put hi* broad back up against it, he
recognized the uselessness of resistance.
“Pretty sort o’ treatment this!” he
cried, stamping his stick. “I come here
to see a gentleman, and you two, who

“You will l»e none the worse,” I said.
“We Jiall rnuorapense you for the lose
of your tiiae. bit over here on the
sofa, and you will not have long to
wait.”
He came aernss sullenly enough, and
seated ii.mself with his face resting on
his hands. Jones and 1 resumed our
cigar., and our talk. Suddenly, how
ever. Holmes' voice broke in upon us.
“I think that you might offer me a
cigar, too," he said.
We Isith slartcd in our chairs. There
was Holmes sitting close to us with an
air of quiet amusement.
•’Holmes!" I exclaimed. “You here!
But where is the old man?”
“Here is the old man,” said he, hold
ing out u heap of white hair. "Here
he is—wig, whiskers, eyebrows, and
all- I thought my disguise was pretty
good, but 1 hardly expected that it
would stand that test."
"Ah. you rogue! ’ cried Jones, highly
delighted. '‘You would liave made an
actor, and a rare one. You had the
proper workhouro cough, and those
weak legs of yonrr; are worth ten
pound a week. I thought I knew the
gliut of your eye, though. You didn’t
get away from us so easily, you sec.”
“I have been working In that get-up
all day," said ho. lighting his cigar.
"You see, a good many of the criminal
classes Ix-gin to know me—especially
since our friend here took to publish
ing some of my eases; so 1 can only go
on the warpath under some simple dis
guise like this. Yon got my who?"
“Yes; that was what brought rao
here.”
"How has i<>ur ease prospered?"
“It has all come to nothing. I have
had to release two of my prisoners, and
there is no evidence against the other
two.”
’Never mind. We shall give you two
others in the place of them. But you
must put yourself under my orders.
You are welcome to all the official
credit, but yon must act on the lines
that I point out. Is that agreed?”
“Entirely, if you will help me to the

‘Well, then, in the first place I shall
want a fast police-boat—a steam launch
-to be at the Westminster Stairs at
seven o'cloclc.”
“That is easily managed. There is
always one about there; hut I can step
across the road and telephone to malic
sure.”
‘Then I shall want two stanch men,
in case of resistance."
’There will be two or three in the
boat. What else?”
‘When we secure the men we shall
get the treasure. I think that it would
lie a pleasure to my friend here to take
the box round to the young lady to
whom half of it rightfully belongs.
Let her lie the first to open it. Eh,
Watson?"
“It would be a great pleasure to
me.”’
“Rather an irregular proceeding,”
said Jones, shaking his head. “How
ever, the whole thing is irregular, and
I suppose we must wink at it. The
treasure must afterwards be banded
over to the authorities until after the
official investigation.”
“Certainly. That is easily managed.
One other point. I should like much
to have a few details about this matter
from the lips of Jonathan Small him
self. You know I like to work the de
tail of my cases out. There is no ob
jection to my having an unofficial in
terview with him either here in my
rooms or elsewhere, as long us he is ef
ficiently guarded?”
“Well, you are master of the situa
tion. I have had no proofs yet of
the existence of Jonathan Small. How
ever, if you can catch him, I don’t see
how I can refuse you an interview with
him.”
“That is understood, then?”
“Perfectly. Is there anything else?”
“Only that I insist upon your dining
with us. It will lie ready in half an
hour. I have oysters and a brace of
grouse, with something a little choice
in white wine. Watson, you have never
yet recognized my merits us a house

Why Was It
that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, out of the great

not reversed?
