amazement on his face. Holmes put
bisitiager oa,~‘hiallps, replaced his hand
in. his breast .pocket and burst out
laughing as we turned down the street.
“Flxcoii_en_ti”.said he. "Come, Friend
gwatson, the curtain rings up for the
 act, You will be relieved to`hear
Right: Hon. Tnelawney Hope will suf-
fer no setback in his brilliant career,
that the indiserect sovereign will re-
ceive no punishment for his indlscre-
tion, that the prime minister will have
no European complication to deal with
and that with a little tact and manage-
ment upon our part nobody will be a
penny the worse for what might have
been u very ugly incident."
My lnlnd iilled with admiration for
this extraordinary man.
“You have solved it?" I cried.
“lIurdly that, Watson. There are
some points wliich are as dark as ever.
But we have so much that it will be
our own fault if wc cannot; get the
rest. We will go straight' to White-
hall terrace and bring the matter to a
head."
When we ari-i'\'ed at the residence oi'
thc European secretary it was t'or_
Lady Hilda Trelawney Hope that Sher-
lock Holmes inquired. We were shown
into thc morning room. g
“.\Ir, Holmes," _said the lady, and her
face was pink with her indignation,
“this is surely most unfair and ungen-
crous upon your part. I desired, as I
have explained, to kccp my visit to

think that I was intruding into his at-

The lady sprang to her feet, with
the color al_l dashed in an instant from

rallied from- the shock, and a supreme
astonishment and indignation chased
every other expression from her fea-

“You-youinsult me, Mr. Holmes."
"Come, come, madam. lt is useless. -

She dartedto the hell. ,
"The butler shall show you out."
'fDo not ring, Lady Hilda. It you
