To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predomin- ates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably bal- anced mind. He was, I take it, the mest perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen; but, as a lover, he would have placed him- self in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a dis- tracting factor which might threw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in & sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his, and yet there was but one woman to him, and that wommn was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and question- able memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happi- ness, and the home-centered interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own estab- lishment, were sufficient to absorb al! my attention; while Holmes, whe loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out these clews, and clearing up- those mysteries, which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings; of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplish- ed so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Be- yond these signs of his activity, how- ever, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and com- panion.

One night—it was on the 20th of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey toa patient (for I had now re- turned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark ineidents of the Study in Scar- let, I was seized wlth a keen desire to see Holmes again and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest, and his hands clasped behind him. To me, ‘who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created. dreams, and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell, and was shown up to the chamber

which had formerly been in part my Ow p- His manner was not effusive. It

seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an arm-chair, threw across his case of cigars, and ind cated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before.the fire, and looked me ver in his singular introspective ashion.

**Wedlock su ts you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have pat on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”

“Seven,” I answered.

“Indeed, I should have thought a ittle more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I ob- erve. You did not tell me that you ntended to go into harness.”

‘Then how do you know ?”

“I see it, L deduce it. How dol now that you have been getting your- self very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless ser- vant girl ?”

"Mv dear Holraes,” said I, “this is toomuch. You would certainly have been burned had you lived a few cen- turiesago. It is true that I hada country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess; but as I have changed my clothes, I can’t imagine how you deduce is, As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has ziven her notice; but there again I fail to see how you work it out.”

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long nervous sands together.

“It is simplicity itself,” said he, ‘my tell me that on the in- side of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is by six almost parallel cuts. Joviously they have been cansed by some one who had very carelessly ceraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it.

“Tt is not an English Hold it up to the light.’

I did so,and saw a large Ewith a sraall P and a large G witha small t woven into the texture of the paper.

“What do you make of that ?” asked Helmes.

‘The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather,”

“Not at all. The G with the smal] t stands for ‘Gesellschaft,’ which is the German for ‘Company.’ It is a cus tomary contrection like our ‘Co,’ P, of course, stands for ‘Papier.’ Now for the Eg. Let as clance at our Continent- al Gazetter.”’ He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. “Eg low, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. Ih isia a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Re markable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its num erous glass factories and paper mills.

‘The paper was made in Bohemia,” I said.

‘Precisely. And the man who wrote the noteisa German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence— ‘This account of you we have from al quarters received.” A Frenchman o1 Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, there: fore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohem- ian paper, and prefers weariug a mask to showing his face. And here he comes. if lam not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.”

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses’ hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a

jharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

“A pair, by the sound,” said he. “Yes,” he continued, glancing out of the window. ‘A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There’s money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.”

“[ think that I had Holmes.”

“Not a bit, doctor. Stay where yor are. Iam lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.”

“But your client—”

‘*Never mind him. I may want your help. and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that arm-chair. doctor, and give us your best attention.”

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was aloud and authoritative tap,

A man entered who could hardly have heen Jess than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would. in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slash- ed across the sleeves and front of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-colored silk. and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming bervl.

From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, anda long, straight chin. suggest- ive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

‘Pray take a seat,” said Holmes. ‘This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is oceasioially good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have [ the honor to address ?”

“You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, yout friend, is aman of honor and discre- tion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance, If not. I should much prefer to communi- cate with you alone.”

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. “It is both,

or none,” “You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me,”

The count shrugged his broad should- ers. “Then [ must begin,” said he, “by hinding you both to absolute secrecy for two years, at the end of that time the matter will be of no im portance. At present it is not too rauch to say that it is of such weight that it may have an. influence upon European history.”

“T promise,” said Holmes.

“And ‘.” “You will excus? this mask,” con- tinued our strange visitor. ‘The

august person whoemploys me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once thatthe title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.”

“Twas aware of it,” said Holmes, drvly.

‘The circumstances are of great deli- cacy. and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow tc be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning famil- ies of Europe. ‘To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House ol Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bo- hemia.”

“T was also aware of that,” murmur- ed Holmes, settling down in his arm- chair and closing his eyes.

Our visiter glanced with some ap- parent surprise at the languid, loung- ing figure of the man who had been, no doubt depicted to him as the most in- cisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Enrope. Holmes slowly re- opened his eyes, and looked impatient- iently at his gigantic client.

“If your majesty would condescend to state your case,” he remarked, “I should be better able to advise you.”

The man sprang from his chair, and paced up and down the room in uncon- trollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation he tore off the mask from his face and hurled it upon the floor.

“You are right,” he cried, ‘I am the king. Why should I attempt to con- ceal it ?”

“Why, indeed ?” murmured Holmes. “Your majesty had not spoken hefore Iwas aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Fel- stein, and hereditary King of Bo- hemia.”

“But you can understand,” said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high, white forehead, ‘‘you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come in- cognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting yon.”

“Then, pray consult,” said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

“The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known-adventuress Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to vou.”
