‘““My cabby drove fast. I don't think I ever drove faster, but the others were there before us. The cab and landayw with their steaming horses were in front of the door when I arrived. I paid the man, and hurried into the church. There was nota sou! there save the two whom I had followed and a surpliced clergyman, who seemed tc

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 suchas I had pictured it from Sherlock Holmes’ succinct de- scription. but the locality appeared to be less private than 1 expected. On the fora small street in a quiet neighborbood, it was remarkably ani- mated, There was a group of shabbily dressed men smoking and laughing in a corner, a scissors-grinder with his wheel, two guardsmen who were flirt- ing with a nurse-girl, and several well- dressed young men who were lounging up and down with cigars in their mouths

‘*You see,” remarked Holmes, as we paced to and froin front of the house, “this marriage rather simplities matters. The photograph becomes a double-edged weapon now. The chan- ces are that she would be as avers? to its being seen by Mr. Godfrey Norton as our client is to its coming to the eyes of his princess. is—where are we to find the photo- graph?”

** W here, indeed ?”

“It is mest 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.”

* W heave, then ?”

be expostulating with them. They were all three standing in a knct in front of the altar. I lounged up the side isle like any other idler who has dropped intoa church. Suddenly, to my surprise, the three at the altar faced round to me, and Godfrey Norton came running as hard as he could to- ward me,

“*Tharnk God!’ he cried. You'll do. Come! Come!’

***What then? I asked

“*“Come, man, come; only three

minutes, or it won't be legal.’

I was half dragged up to the altar, and, before I knew where I was, | found myself mumbling responses which were whispered in my ear, and

| vouching for things of which I knew ‘ nothing, and generally assissing in the

secure tying up of Izcne Adler, spinster, to Godfrey Norton, bachelor. It wes 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. It wasthe 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 inform- ality “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 ol affairs,” said I; “and what then ?” “Well, I found my plans very seriously menaced. lt locked as if the pair mighttake an immediate depart: ure, and so necessitate very prompt and energetic measures on my part. At the church door, however, they separated. he driving back to the Temple, and

**Which are ?”

“Some cold beef and a glass of beer,’ he answered, ringing the bell. ‘] have been too busy to think of food, and [am likely to be busier still this ning. By the way, doctor, I shal! 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 Iam your man.”

“I was sure that I might rely or you.”

* But what is it you wish ?”

“You are to watch me, for I will be visible to you.”

“Vou”

“And when I raise my hand—so— you will throw into the room what J give you to throw, and will, at the same time, raise the cry of fire. You quite follow me?’

** Entirely.”

“It is nothing very formidable,” he said, iaking a long cigar-shaped rol] from his pocket. “It is an ordinary pluraber’s smoke rocket, fitted with a p at either end, to make it self-light-

the window to watch you, and, at the signal, to throw in this object, then t« raise the ery of fire, and to wait you at the corner of the street.”

“Precisely.”

“Then you may entirely reiy on me.’

“That is excellent. I think, perhaps, it is almost time that I prepared for the new role I have to play.”

He disappeared into his bedroom, and returned in a few minutes in the char- veter Of an amiable and simple-mindeé gonconformist clergyman. His broad. black hat, his baggy trousers, his white tie, his sympathetic smile and genera! look of peering and benevolent curi- ity were such as Mr. Jchn Hare alone could have equaled. It was not merely that Holmes changed his cos- tume. His expression, his manner, his very soul seemed to vary with every fresh part that he assumed.

“But it lias twice been burglarized.”

“Pshaw! They did not know how te look.”

“T will not look.”

“What then?”

“T will get her to show mea,”

“But she will refuse.”

“She will not be able to. But I hear the ramble of wheels. It is her car- tiuge. Now carry out my orders to the letter.”

As he spoke the gleam of the side- lights of a carriage came round the eurve eo! the avenue, It Was a smart little landau which rattled up to the loor of Briony Loége. As it pulled up one of the loafing men at the corner dashed forward to open the .loor in the hope of earning a copper, but was elbowed away by another loafer who had rushed up with the same intention. A tierce 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 equal- ly hot upon the A blow was strack, and in an iwstant the lady, who had stepped from her carriage, j} was the center of a little knot of flush- |} ed and struggiing men who strnck savagel y ateach other with their fists and sticks. Holmes dashed into the ‘rowd to protect the lady ; but, just as he reached her, he gave a cry and dropped tothe 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 haa watched the scufile without taking part in it, crowded in to help the lady and to attend to the injured man. Adler, as I will still cal] her, had hurried up the steps ; but she stood at the top. with her superb figure oatlined against the lights of the hall, looking back into the street.

A LEADING PHYSICIAN'S DISCOVERY,

ile Will Prove it Free ol Charge to Every Suflerer in ¢ harlottetown.

It is but natural that enfferers from that terrible disease known as “Asthma,” after treating with doctors and t-ying, without avail, vumberless remedies advertised as “positive cures” have come to the con-~ @.us'on that there is no eure for this most distressing of disease*,and can be pardoned for being still skeptica’, when they learn tbat Dr. Rudo!ph Schiffmann, the recog- nized authority, who in thirty years of experience as a medical practitioner, has treated more cases of Asthma and i's kindred than any living doctor, has at la t achieved sneceas by perfecting a remedy which not only gives instant relief, even n the worst and most inveterate of cas 8, but has cared thousards of sutlerers who were considered incurable.

Knowing that in making this broad claim a strong doubt mayexst in the minds of any who have been duped by fradulent nostrums, and that a persoral test will establish the troth of his claims Dr. Schiffman authorizes this paper to announce, that any sufferer from Asthma,

sronchitix, Nasal Catarrh or Hay Fever, who will send him their address plainly written on a postal card will recieve a free trial package of Dr. Schiffmanr’s Asthma Cure absolutely free cf charge. Toaccep! this most generous and extraordinary offer involves only the cost of a postal , card andthe r medy uodoubtedly poss- esses the merit he claims for it, other- wise the Doctor would not openly invite eufferers to test it absolutely free of charge before purchasing; even paying the pos tage on the sample himself. This offer is not good after March 10th, co persons de- siring to avail themselves of the same should promptly send their address to Dr. R. Schiffmann, 1045. Rosabel St. St. Paul, Minn., U.S. :

DEPARTMENT STORES.

The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver- tising Plays Im Their Success.

Aside from departures in™policy and innovations on a large scale, the original- ity of the department store is largely supplied by two departments, to some extent correlated. These are the adver- tising department and the window dressing department. One is the litera- ture of the great store, the other its art. The shop windows are a great stimulus fox the department whose goods are dis- played in them. A good showing will often wonderfully increase the sale of the stock as well as attract customers to the store who are new to it. Frequently the head advertising man is the general manager of the store. Whether this is the case or not, he is a general supervis- or of the establishment, with a complete knowledge of its ever changing detail. Every day he holds consultations with heads of departments to find out what particular lines of articles they wan‘ boomed, and about those articles he writes alluring statements for the shop- ping public to read, sometimes arrang- ing for illustrations with them.

The amount of money spent for adver- tising is appalling when looked upon as an expense, One great store in Philadel- phia spends on an average $1,000 every day in the year, and a good many spend $500 a day. The advertising receives probably more of the personal attention of the head of the house than any other department. The head of the firm which expends the great sum just mentioned personally suggeste and frequently writes the leading lines in the daily an- nouncement. The proprietor of a great store in Brooklyn does this invariably and thinks the time well spent which the work daily requires. The mail de- partment tends to enlarge this expendi- ture, as the store reaches out to the ut- most paris of the country, and the fu- ture will no doubt see an even greater development in tie effort to secure mail customers in the small towns and in country places. —Samue] Hopkins Ad- ams in Scribner’s,

Wretched Teetotalers,

One of the best; known stories in con- nection with the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson's advocacy of temper- auce tells how he had besn on a visit to one of the three or four small towns in England which jaave no public house. Although there were 4,000 people there, the doctor was nearly starving. One day a young medical man came to Sir Benjamin for advice as to taking the practice, aud Sir Benjamin, placing his hands on the young doctor’s shoulders, said: ‘‘Take my advice, and don't. Those wretched teetotalers not only Shirk accidents, but, when wounded, heal so fast that there is nei(her pleasure nor profit after the first dressing.’’— Westminster Gazette.
