“Kindly look her up In my index, doctor,” murmured Holmes, without opening his eyes, For many years he had adopted a system for docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things. so that it was difficult to name a sub- ject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this ease I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a momogram upon the deep- sea fishes **Let me see!” said Holmes.** Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima-donna Imperial Opera of War- saw—Yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha!

‘Precisely so. But how—”

**Was there a secret marriage ?”

**None.”

“No legal papers or certificates ?”

“Then I fail to follow your majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is sha to prove their au- thenticity ?”

“There is the writing.”

“Pooh, pooh! Forgery.

“She will not sell.

“Stolen, then.”

“Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay rarsacked her house. Once we diverted her lug- gage when she traveled. T'wice she has been waylaid. There has been no result,”

“No sign of it ”

“Absolutely none.’

Holmes laughed. ‘It is quite a pretty little problera,” said he.

‘‘But a very serious one to me,” re- turned the king, reproachfully.

“Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph ?”

‘fo ruin me.”

“But how ?”

“Tam about to be married.”

**So I have heard.” ’

“To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe- Meningen, second daughter of the King of Seandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt. as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.”

** And Irene Adler ?”

‘Threatens to send them the photo- graph. And she will do it. I know that she will doit. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women and the mind of the most reso- lute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are nc lengths to which she would not go— none.”

“You are sure that she has not sent it vet r

“T am sure.”

*And why ?”

**Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.”

“Oh, then we have three days yet,” said Holmes, with a yawn. “That is very fortunate, as I have one or twe matters of importance to look into just at present. Your majesty will, of course, stay in London for the pres- ent ?”

“Certainly. You will find me at the Langham, under the name of the Count Von Kramm,”

“Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress,”

‘Pray do so, I shall be all anxiety.”

‘Then, as to money ?”

‘*You have carte blanche.”

The king took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

“There are three hundred pounds in gold, and seven hundred in notes,” he said,

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his notebook and handed it te him.

“And mademoiselle’s address?” he asked.

“ts Briony Lodge,Serpentine Avenue,

Holmes took a note of it. ‘One other

question,” said he, thoughtfully. ‘Was

“It was.”

street. “If you will be good enough to eall to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this matter over with you,” Il. At three o’clock precisely I was at

it was sutfonnaea oy none of the grim and strange features which were as- sociated with the two crimes which I have already recorded, still the nature of the case and the exalted station of the client gave it a character of its own. Indeed, apart from the nature of the investigation which my friend had in 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 system of work, and to follow the quick, subtle methods by which he disentangled the most inextricable mysteries, So ac- cessi that the very possibility of his failing had ceased to enter into my head.

It was closs upon four before the door opened, and a drunken-looking groom, ill-kempt and side-whiskered, with an intlamed face and disreputable clothes, walked into the room. Accus- tomed as I was to my friend’s amazing

pewers in the use of disguises, I had tc look three times before 1 was certain that it was indeed he. With a nod he vatished into the bedroom, whence he emerged in five minutes tweed-suited and respectable, as of old. Putting his hatds into his poekets, he stretched out his legs in front of the tire, 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 help- less, in the chair.

** What is it ?”

‘It’s quite toofunny. I am sure you could never guess how I employed my morning, or what I ended by doing.”

“I can’t imagine. I suppose that you have been watching the habits, and, perhaps, the house of Miss Irene Adler.”

‘Quite so, but the sequel was rather unusual. I will tell you, however. 1 left the house a little after eight o’clock this morning in the character of a groom out of work.

Behind there was nothing remarkable, save that the pas- sage window could be reached from the top of the coach house. I walked round it and examined it closely from every point of view, but without noting any- thing else of interest.

“I then lounged down the street, and found, as I expected, that there was a mews ina lane which runs down by wall of the garden. I lent the hostlers a hand in rubbing down their horses, and I received in exchange twopence, a glass of half-and-half, twe fills of shag tobaeco, and as much in- formation as I could desire about Miss Adler, to say nothing of half a dozer other peeplein the neighborhood, in whom I was not in the least interested, but whose biographies I was compelled to listen to.”

“And what asked.

When I had listened to all that they had to tell I began to walk up and down near Briony Lodge once more. and to think over my plan of campaign.

“This Godfrey Norton was evidently an important factor in the matter. He was a lawyer. That sounded omin- ous. What was the relation between them, and what the object of his re- peated visits? Was she his client, his friend, or his mistress? If the former. she had probably transferred the photo- graph to his keeping. If the latter, it was less likely. On the issue of this question depended whether I should continue my work at Briony Lodge o1 turn my attention to the gentleman’s chambers in the Temple. It was a delicate point, and it widened the field of my inquiry. I fear that I bore you w't these details, but I have to let you see my little difficulties, if you are tc understand the situation.”

sprang out. He was a remarkably handsome man, dark, aquiline and mustached — evidently the man ol

whom I had heard. He appeared tc be in a great hurry, shouted to the cab- man to wait, and brushed past the maid, who opened the door, with the air of aman who was thoroughly at home.

‘He was in the house about half an hour, and I could catch glimpses of him in the windows of the sitting-room, pacing up and down, talking excitedly and waving his arms. Of her I could see nothing, Presently he emerged, looking even more flurried than before. As he stepped up to the cab he pulled a gold watch from his pocket and look- ed at it earnestly. ‘Drive like the devil,’ he shouted, ‘first to Gross & Hankey’s in Regent street, and then tc the Church of St, Monica in the Edg- ware Road, Half a guinea if you do it in twenty minutes,’

“Away they went, and I was just wonlering whether I should not do well to follow them when up the lane came a neat Jittle landay, the coach- man with his eoat only half byttoned, and his tie under his ear, while all the tags of his harness were sticking out of the buckles. It hadn’t pulled up be- fore she shot out of the hall door and into it. Lonly caught a glimpse of her atthe moment, but 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. 1 was just balancing whether I should run for it, or whether I should perch behind her landau, when a cab came through the street. The driver looked twice at such a shabby fare; but I jumped in before he could object. ‘The Church of St. Monica,’ said I, ‘and half a sovereigu if you reach it in | twenty minutes.’ It was twenty-five ' minutes to twelve, and of course it wag! clear enough what was in the wind,

Electric Railroad Statistics. Electric railways in Europe formed the subject of some interesting statistics recently embodied in a report sent to the United States government by Vice Consul J. F. Monaghan, at Chempitz, Germany. According to these, the num- ber of such railways was increased during the year 1895 from 70 to 111, while the total length was raised from about 435 to 560 miles, the number of ears from 1,236 to 1,747, and the horse- power from a little over 18,000 to a lit. tle over 25,000. Of all the European countries, Germany, according to Mr. Monaghan’s figures, stood at the head, with aboht 250 miles to her credit, and an equipment of 857 cars and 7,194 horsepower. The other countries fol- lowed in the order given below:

With this showing it is suggestive to compare the position of the Uniied States, in which, according to the latest available figures, there were 12,183 miles of road, with a total of $4,971 cars. It is not without reason evidently that the United States is considered the home of the electric railroad.

They Love Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber of the municipal palace (the Palazzo Vecchio) in Florence is set apart in memory of the great poet Dante. To it each of the 69 provinces and all of the larger cities und towns of united Italy have con- tributed a banner in his honor. There are over 300 of these banners in all, and the dovors, in eager emulation, have tried to make each offering more beau- tifal than the others. The banners are of the differing colors of the provinces and bear their arms in exquisite em- broidery or in paintings by the first liv- ing artists.

The fervor of the homage paid here to the immortal] Italian poet stirs the heart of even the passing stranger. Whatever the jealousies or estrangement of these people, beside his tomb they are united. —Youth’s Companion.
