Copyright. 1903, Copyright, 1905, by A. Comb Doyle end Collier** Weekly. by McClure, Phillips 01 Co. V._ — _ — ^ I.—THE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSE. ' " "J T was In the spring of the 4 year 1894 *1 that all Lon 4 don was In 4 terested, and 4 the fashlon ■ able world *5] dismayed by 9 the murder 4 of the Hon i orable Ron ald Adair under most Unusual and I n explicable circumstanc es. The public has a 1 r e a d y learned those particulars of l ,ie crime which came out In the police Inves tigation. hut a good deal suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so over whelmingly strongthat it was not neces sary to bring forth all the facts. Only now, tit the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that re markable chain. The crime was of in terest In Itself, hut that interest was as nothing to me compared to the in conceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest shock and surpr ise of any event in my adventurous life. Even now, after this long Interval, I find myself thrilling as 1 think of it, and feeling once more that sudden tlood of joy, amazement, and incredulity which utterly submerged my mind. Let trie say to that public, which has shown some Interest in those glimpses which I have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of a very re markable man, that they are not to blame me If I have not shared my knowledge with them, for I should have considered It my first duty to have done so, had I not been barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which was only withdrawn upon the third of last month. It can be Imagined that my close in timacy with Sherlock Holmes had in terested me deeply in crime, and that after his disappearance I never failed to read with care the various prob lems which came before the public. And I even attempted, more than once, for my own private satisfaction, to employ i ' _ anrl such a loss could not in any way affect him. He had played nearly ev ery day at one club or other, but he was a cautious player, and usually rose a winner. It came out in evidence that, in partnership with Colonel Moran, he had actually won as much as four hundred and twenty pounds I In a sitting, some weeks before, from j Godfrey Milner and Cord Balmoral. So much of his recent history as it came out at his Inquest. On the evening of the crime he re- j turned from the club exactly at ten. ! His mother and sister were out spend- ' lng the evening with a relation. The ; servant deposed that she heard .him enter the front room on the second floor, generally used as his sitting' room. She had lit a fire there, and as ! It smoked she had opened the window. No sound was heard from the room until eleven-twenty, the hour of the return of Cady Maynooth and her! daughter. Desiring to say good night, she attempted to enter her son’s room. The door was locked on the Inside, and no answer could be got to their cries and knocking. Help was obtained, and the door forced. The unfortunate ! young man was found lying near the1 table. His head had been horribly mu- j tllated by an expanding revolver bul- , let, but no weapon of any sort was to be found In the room. On the table lay two banknotes for ten pounds each and seventeen pounds ten in silver and gold, the money arranged In little piles j of varying amount. There were some I figures also upon a sheet of paper, with the names of some club friends oppo site to them, from which it was con jectured that before his death he was endeavoring to make out his losses or winnings at cards. A minute examination of the circum stances served only to make the case more complex. In the first place, no reason could be given why the young man should have fastened the door upon the Inside. There was a possi bility that the murderer had done this, and afterwards escaped by the window. The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses In full bloom lay beneath. Neither the flow ers nor the earth showed any sign of having been disturbed, nor were there any marks upon the narrow strip of grass which separated the house from the road. Apparently, therefore, It was the young man himself who had fast ened the door. But how did he come by his death? No one could have climbed up to the window without leaving traces. Suppose a man had fired through the window, he would In deed be a remarkable shot who could tall, thin man with colored glasses, v/hom I strongly suspected of being a plain-clothes detective, was pointing out some theory of his own. while the others crowded around him to listen to what he said. I got as near him as I could, but his observations seemed to me to be absurd, so I withdrew again in Borne disgust. As I did so I struck against an elderly, deformed man, who had been behind me, and I knocked down several books which he had been carrying. I remember that as I picked them up, I observed the title of one of them, "The Origin of Tree Wor ship," and it struck me that the fellow must be some poor bibliophile, who, either as a trade or as a hobby, was a collector of obscure volumes. I en deavored to apologize for the accident, but it was evident that these books which I had so unfortunately maltreat ed were very precious objects in the eyes of their owner. With a snarl of contempt he turned upon his heel, and I saw' his curved back and white side whiskers disappear among the throng. My observations of No. 427 Park lane did little to clear up the problem in which I was Interested. The house was separated from the street by a low w'all and railing, the whole not more than five feet high. It was per fectly easy, therefore, for anyone to get Into the garden, but the window was entirely Inaccessible, since there wras no waterplpe or anything which could help the most active man to climb it. More puzzled than ever, I retraced my steps to Kensington. I had not been In my study five minutes when the maid entered to say that a person de sired to see me. To my astonishment it was none other than my strange old book collector, his sharp, wizened face peering out from a frame of white hair, and his precious volumes, a dozen of them at least, wedged under hi3 right arm. “You’re surprised to see me, sir,” said he, In a strange, croaking voice, I acknowledged that I was. "Well, I’ve a conscience, sir, and when I chanced to see you go into this house, as I came hobbling after you. I thought to myself, I’ll just step in and see that kind gentleman, and tell him that if I was a bit gruff in my man ner there was not any harm meant, and that I am much obliged to him for picking up my books.” "You make too much of a trifle,” said I. "May I ask how you knew who I was?” “Well, sir, If It Isn’t too great a lib erty, I am a neighbor of yours, for you’ll find my little bookshop at the corner of Church street, and very happy to see you, I am sure. Maybe you collect yourself, sir. Here's ‘Brit ish Birds,’ and ’Catullus,’ and ‘The Holy War’—a bargain, every One of them. With five volumes you could just fill that gap on that second shelf. It looks untidy, does It pot, sir?” I moved my head at the cabinet be hind me. When I turned again Sher lock Holmes was standing smiling at me across my study table. I rose to my feet, stared at him for some sec onds in utter amazement, and then It appears that I must have fainted for the first and the last time in my life. Certainly a grey mist swirled be fore my eyes, and when It cleared I found my collar ends undone and the tingling after-taste of brandy upon ray HE TURNED OVER THE PAGES LAZILY. fils methods in their solution, though with indifferent success. There was none, however, which appealed to me like this tragedy of Ronald Adair. As I read the evidence at the inquest, which led up to a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown, I realized more clearly than I had ever done the loss which the community had sustained by the death of Sherlock Holmes. There were points about this strange business which would, I was sure, have specially ap pealed to him, and the efforts of the police would have been supplemented, or more probably anticipated, by the trained observation and the alert mind of the first criminal agent In Europe. All day, as I drove upon my round, I turhed over the case In my mind, and found no explanation which appeared to me adequate. At the risk of telling a twice-told tale, I will recapitulate the facts as they were known to the pub lic at the conclusion of the inquest. The Honorable Ronald Adutr was the second son of the earl of Maynooth, at that time governor of one of the Australian colonies. Adair’s mother had returned from Australia to undergo the operation for cataract, and she, her son Ronald, and her daughter Hilda, were living together at 427 Park Lane. The youth moved in the best society— had. so far as was known, no enemies, and no particular vices. He had been engaged to Miss Edith Woodley, of Carstairs, but the engagement had been broken off by mutual consent some months before, and there was no sign that it left any very profound feeling behind it. l'or the rest the man’s life moved in a narrow and conventional circle, for his habits were quiet and his nature unemotional. Yet it was upon this easy-going young aristocrat that death came, in most strange and un expected form, between the hours of ten and eleven-thirty on the night of March 30, 1S94. Ronald Adair was fond of cards — playing continually, but never for such stakes as would hurt him. He was a member of the Baldwin, the Cavendish und the Bagatelle card clubs. It was shown that, after dinner on the day of his death, he had played a rubber of whist at the latter club. He hud also played there in the afternoon. The evidence of those who had played with . him—Mr. Murray, Sir John Hardy and Colonel Morun—showed that the game - was whist, and that there was a lairly - equal fall of the cards. Adair might have lost five pounds, but not more. HI* fortune waa a considerable one, with n revolver Inflict so deadly a wound. Again, Park Lane is a fre quented thoroughfare; there is a cab stand within a hundred yards of the house. No one had heard a shot. And yet there was the dead man, and there the revolver bullet, which had mush roomed out. as soft-nosed bullets will, and so inflicted a wound which must have caused instantaneous death. Such were the circumstances of the Park Lane mystery, which were further com plicated by entire absence of motive, since, as I have said, young Adair was not known to have any enemy, and no attempt had been made to remove the money or valuables In the room. All day I turned these facts over in my mind, endeavoring to hit upon some theory which could reconcile them all, and to find that line of least resistence which my poor friend had declared to be the starting point of every investi gation. I confess that I made little progress. In the evening I strolled across the park, and found myself about six o'clock at the Oxford street end of Park Lane. A group of loafers upon the pavements, all staring up at a particular window, directed me to the house which I had come to see. A lips. Holmes was bending over my | chair, his liask in his hand. ; ‘My dear Watson," said the well-re membered voice, "I owe you a thousand apologies. I had no idea that you would , be so affected." I I gripped him by the arms, i "Holmes!" I cried. “Is it really you? Catt it indeed be that you are aiive? Is it possible that you succeeded in ! climbing out of that awful abyss?” “Wait a moment,” said he. Are you sure that you are really lit to discuss things? 1 have given you a serious shock by my unnecessarily dramatic reappearance.” ; "I am all right, but indeed, Holmes, I can hardly believe my eyes. Good heavens! to think that you—you of ail men—should be standing in my study,” Again I gripped him by the sleeve, and, felt the thin, sinewy arm beneath it. "Well, you're not a spirit, anyhow," said I. "My dear chap, I’m overjoyed to see you. Sit down and tell me how yox. came alive out of that dreadful chasm." He sat opposite to me, and lit a cig arette in his old, nonchalant manner. He was dressed in the seedy , frock coat of the book merchant, but | the rest of that individual lay in a pile I of white hair and old books upon the table. Holmes looked oven thinner and keener than of old, but there was a dead-white tinge in his aquiline face which told me that his life recently had not been a healthy one.

"I shall never for get a winter experience of mine on the rail road that runs along the Mediterranean, from Ventimllle to Genoa. | "1 boarded this train at Ventimllle one morning bound for San Remo. Off we started, snow covered mountains to our left, orange groves and rose farms about us, the blue sea on our right, and after' some minutes we stopped. “ ‘Is this Bordighero?” I asked a guard.' “ 'No, It's a cow,' he answered. 'There's a cow on the track.’ “Well, after a while the cow was driven, oft, and we got under way again. Some few miles were traversed In a leisurely way, and then—we stopped again. “ ‘Another cow?’ I said to the guard blt ’erly. ’’ ‘No,’ he replied. ‘The same one.’ ” —*— Betty Wins. Betty, the incorrigible, banged Into the house as she came from school and,, fling ing herself down at the luncheon-table, ex claimed breezily: "Pass the jell!” “Betty,” said her mother severely, “you cannot have the Jelly until you ask for It correctly.” “Passs—theee—jelll!” urged Betty with elaborate enunciation. “Elizabeth, you ask politely for the Jelly at once,” commanded her mother, sternly. “Pass-gery-the-gery-jell-gery 1” grinned Betty Impishly. “Betty Brown, obey me at once, and ask for that Je-” “Pagadass thegeree Jeggedelly,” sug gested Betty amiabiy. Her mother fixed her with a piercing eye. “You may ask for that Jelly correctly or leave the table instantly.” Betty compromised. She smiled a smile of surpassing sweetness and said deli cately: "Will you pul-lease pass the jlllee?’’ It was reluctantly given to her, and she ate unctuously of it. When she had fin ished she pushed her plate away and looked up innocently. “Dam good jell I” she announced with 'onviction. Then she fled. Abroad with Bryan. From the Portland Telegram. Colonel William J. Bryan was discussing the war In Manchuria with General Oyama. "Were you ever under fire, colonel?” asked the warrior. "No, general, answered the Nebraskan, “but I’Ve been over one many times.” But Oyama didn’t know how W. Jen nings had been roasted. They were talking of national institu tions. “We have an order here,” said the mi kado, "called the Samurai, who fight and never give up. No one has ever succeeded In getting the best of them. Is there any thing like it In your country?” "Yes,” answered Mr. Bryan, “but wa call them life Insurance companies." With such badinage, they whiled the lours away. I —a— Perilous Speed. Governor Folk, of Mlsouri, praised Philadelphia the deliberate way in which j Mayor Weaver had set about reforming' ; the city. “All reform,” he said, “must be deliber- I ate and gradual to be lasting. If your ! mayor had set in to reform your city a 1 year ago, he would have failed. Corruption is a dangerous thing, and its dangers must be escaped from cautiously, as a ship es capes from the dangers of a fog. “Your mayor,” said Governor Folk, “hag not been like the foolish sea captain. “To this man, in veritable pea soup weather, when you could not see your hand before your face, a passenger came and said anxiously: “ ‘Captain, why are you stearing through this thick fog at such a dreadful rate of speed ?’ “ ‘Fogs, sir,’ said the captain, ‘are dan gerous, and I am always in a hurry to get ut of them.’ ” Like and Unlike. The literary work of a wealthy amateu. was being lauded in a Philadelphia club. John Luther Long laughed and said: “I always compare our friend’s produc ! tions with Tolstoi’s. This comparison edi fies and iluminates, for both the resem blances and differences between the two men are marked and striking.” A friend of the rich amateur’s smiled eagerly: “What are these resemblance and diff erences, Mr. Long?” he said. “Both men,” the novelist answered, | “offer their wonks to publishers free, but Tolstoi’s are accepted.” — Rebuking a Boaster. The late former Congressman Jcrr^ i Simpson was a plain man, to whom osten tation of every kind seemed vulgar. A rich senator was once boasting to Mr. Simpson In a Washington restaurant about his luxurious way of living. Among other things he said: “I was obliged to discharge my second coachman last week. Though he was in many ways an Invaluable fellow, he wras ■ontinuaily hanging around one of the rettier under housemaids.” Mr. Simpson considered such talk pure, ulgar boasting, and proceeded to rebuke t as such. “1.” he said gravely, “have been obliged o discharge my third groom. He was al vays loafing in the servants’ billiard oom.” Not on Safe. A company which manufactures banc nstruments receives a large number of otters from green players, asking advice as to their difficulties. Several months rgo this company sold a cornet to a man in Canada. As might have been expected, fter he had played it for some tirhe with ut removing the valves the action became tiff. He wrote to the manufacturer, ex- j laining the trouble, and asking whether e should grease the valves. In answer j he was told that was the usual custom of •ornet players, when this difficulty oc curred, to remove the valves and put a j little saliva upon them. To their aston- ! lshment the next week’s mail brought the | following letter: “Gentlemen: Kindly send me 25 cents I worth of saliva. I can’t get it in the stores \ere.

Recently a German scientist has | been experimenting and has found that it is possible to suspend a weight of four ounces by a single hair, provided the hair , be black. Blond hair will give way at ; varying weights dependent upon the ex act tint. A yellow hair will scarce sup port two ounces, a brown hair will hold up three without breaking, while a ?ery dark brown will sustain an additional half ounce. The great vitality of the black hair Is declared to be the reason for the prepon derance of blond bald heads, and accord ing to this experiment a person with jet black hair will still enjoy a full growth, while the blond will have Vac bald tor •even and a half years.
