A woman, young and beautiful, was ly ing dead upon the bed. Her calm, pale face, with dim, wide-opened blue eyes, looked upwards from amid a great tangle of golden hair. At the foot of the bed, half sitting, half kneeling, his face burled in the clothes, was a young man, whose frame was racked by his sobs. So ab sorb '. was he by his bii.tr grief, that he never looked up until Holmes’ hand was on his shoulder. ’’Are you Mr. Godfrey Staunton?” "Yes, yes, I am—but you are too late. She is dead.” The man was so dazed that he could not be made to understand that we were any thing but doctors who had been sent to his assistance. Holmes was endeavoring to utter a few words of consolation, and to explain the alarm which had been caused to his friends by his sudden disap pearance, when there was a step upon the ’ stairs, and there was the heavy, stern, i o.uestioning face of Dr. Armstrong at the door. I "So, gentlemen," said he, "you have at tained your end, and have certainly chosen 1 a particularly delicate moment for your intrusion. I would not brawl in the pres 1 ence of death, but 1 can assure you that If I were a younger man your monstrous conduct would not pass with impunity.” ; "Excuse me. Dr. Armstrong, I think we are a little at cross-purposes.” said my friend, with dignity. “If you could step ’ downstairs with us, we may each be able to give some light to the other upon this [ miserable affair.’ A minute later, the grim doctor and ’ ourselves were in the sitting room below. | “Well, sir?” said he. 1 "I wish you to understand in the first place, that I am not employed by Lord l Mount-Jame3, and that my sympathies | In this matter are entirely against that . nobleman. When a man is lost it Is my | duty to ascertain his fate, but having done . so the matter ends so far as I am con cerned, and so long as there is nothing . criminal, I am much more anxious to . hush up private scandals than to give • them publicity. If, as I imagine, there is i no breach of the law In thl3 matter, you i can absolutely depend upon my discretion i and my co-operation in keeping the facts i out of the papers." ’ Dr. Armstrong took a quick step forward , and wrung Holmes by the hand. “You are a good fellow,” said he. ”1 - had misjudged you. I thank heaven that I my compunction at leaving poor Staunton I ali alone in this plight caused me to turn ^ my carriage back, and so to make your > acquaintance. Knowing as much as you k do, the situation is very easily explained, k A year ago Godfrey Staunton lodged’in London lor a time, ana uecame pussiuu ately attached to his lan„.ady's daughter, whom he married. She was as good as she was beautiful, and as intelligent as she was good. No man need be ashamed of such a wife. But Godfrey was the heir to this crabbed old nobleman, and it was juite certain that the news cf his mar.lag ■ would have been the end of his inheri tance. I knew the lad well, and loved him for his many excellent qualities. I flkl all I could to help him to keep things straight. We did our best to keep the thing from everyone, for, when once sueh a whisper gets about, it is not long before everyone has heard it. Thanks to this lonely cottage and his own discretion. Godfrey has up to now succeeded. Their secret was known to no one save to me and to one excellent servant, who has at present gone for assistance to Trumping ton. But at last there came a terrible blow in the shape of dangerous illness to his wife. It was consumption of the most virulent kind. The poor boy was half crazed with grief, and yet he had to go to London to play this match, for he could not get out of It without explana tions which would expose his secret. I tried to cheer him up by wire, and he sent me one in reply, imploring mo to do all I could. This was the telegram which you appear in some inexplicable way to have seen. I did not tell him how urgent the danger was, for I knew that he could Ao no good here, but I sent the truth to the girl's father, and he very injudiciously communicated it to Godfrey. The result was that he came straight away in a state bordering on frenzy, and has remained in the same state, kneeling at the end ot her bed. until this morning death put an end to her sufferings. That is all, Mr. Holmes, and I an! sure that I can rely upon your discretion and that of your friend.” Holmes grasped the doctor's hand. "Come, Watson,” said he, and we passed from that house of grief Into the pa.« sunlight of the winter day. - XII.—THE ADVENTURE OF THE ABBEY GRANGE. 1T was on a bit terly cold anc frosty morn ing, towards the end of the winter of ’97 that I was awakened by f tugging at mj shoulder. I was Holmes The candle ir his hand shorn upon his eager stooping face I and told me a a glance tha something was t amiss. ; "Come Wat son, come!” h' c r i e d. "Tin ' game is afoot . Not a word y Into your clothes and come!" Ten minutes later we were both is 1 a cab and rattling through the sllen I- streets on our way to Charing Cros e station. The first faint winter’s daw: was beginning to appear, and we coul •* dimly see the occasional figure of ai (1 early workman as he passed us, blurre e and indistinct in the opalescent Condo 3:30 a. m. My Dear Mr. Holmes.—I should b very glad of your immediate assistant c in what promises to be a most remark it able case. It is something quite i )r your line. Except for releasing th lady I will see that everything is kep d exactly as I have found it, but I be s- you not to lose an instant, as it is dif .» ficult to leave Sir Eustace here. Yours faithfully, Stanley Hopkins. 's "Hopkins has called me in seve n times, and on each occasion His sum ‘ ..IT" Holmes. "I fancy that everyone of his cases has found Its way Into your col lection. and I must admit. Watson, that you have some power of selection, which atones for much which I de plore In your nnrratlves. Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story instead of as a scientific exercise has ruined what might have been an Instructive and even classical series of demonstrations. You slur over work of the utmost finesse and delicacy, in order to dwell upon sensational details which may ex cite. but cannot possibly instruct, the reader.” “Why do you not write them your self?” I said, with some bitterness. "I will, my dear Watson, I will. At present I am. as you know, fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a text book, which shall focus the whole art of de tection into one volume. Our present research appears to be a case of mur der.” "You think this Sir Eustace Is dead, then?” “I should say so. Hopkins’ writing shows considerable agitation, and he is not an emotional man. Yes, I gather there has been violence, and that the body is left for our inspection. A mere suicide would not have caused him to send for me. As to the release of the lady, it would appear that she has been locked in her room during the tragedy. We are moving in high life, Watson, crackling paper, ’E. B.’ mono gram, coat-of-arms, picturesque ad dress. I think that friend Hopkins will live up to his reputation, and that we shall have an Interesting morning. The crime was committed before twelve last night.” "How can you possibly tell?” "By an inspection of the trains, and by reckoning the time. The local po lice had to be called In, they had to communicate with Scotland Yard, Hop kins had to go out, and he in turn had to send for me. All that makes a fair night’s work. Well, here we are at Chiselhurst station, and we shall soon set our doubts at rest.” A drive of a couple of miles through narrow country lanes brought us to a park gate, which was opened for us by an old lodge keeper, whose haggard face bore the reflection of some great disaster. The avenue ran through a noble park, between lines of ancient elms, and ended in a low, widespread house, pillared in front after the fash ion of Palladio. The central part was evidently of great age. and shrouded in ivy, but the large windows showed that modern changes had been carried out, and one wing of the house appeared to be entirely new. The youthful figure and alert, eager face of Inspector Stan ley Hopkins confronted us In the open doorway. "T’m trorv rrlo <1 vnn Vtotro pnmo Mr Holmes. And you too, Dr. Watson. But. indeed, if I had had my time over again, I should not have troubled you, for since the lady has come to herself, she has given so clear an account of the affair that there is not much left for us to do. You remember that Lew isham gang of burglars?’ "What, the three Randalls?” "Exactly; the father and two sons. It's their work. I have not a doubt of It. They did a job at Sydenham a fort night ago, and were seen and described. Rather cool to do another so soon and so near, but it is they, beyond all doubt. It’s a hanging matter this time.” "Sir Eustace Is dead, then?" “Yes. his head was knocked in with his own poker.” “Sir Eustace Brackenstall, the driver tells me.” “Exactly—one of the richest men in Kent—Lady Brackenstall Is in the morning room. Poor lady, she has had a most dreadful experience. She seemed half dead when I saw her first. I think you had best see her, and hear her account of the facts. Then we will examine the dining room ■ together.’ Lady Brackenstall was no ordinary person. Seldom have I seen so grace ful a figure, so womanly a presence, and so beautiful a face. She was a blonde, golden haired, blue eyed, and would no doubt have had the perfect complexion which goes with such color ing had not her recent experience left her drawn and haggard. Her suffer ings were physical as well as mental, for over one eye rose a hideous, plum colored swelling, which her maid, a tall, austere woman, was bathing assidu ously with vinegar and water. The lady lay back exhausted upon a couch, but her quick, observant gaze, us we entered the room, and the alert expres sion of her beautiful features, showed that neither her wits nor her courage had been shaken by her terrible ex perience. She was enveloped in a loose dressing gown of blue and silver, but a black sequin covered dinner dress was hung upon the couch beside her. “I have told vou all that happened, Sir. Hopkins,” she said, wearily, “could you not repeat It for me? Well, if you think it necessary, I will tell these gentlemen what occurred. Have they been in the dining room yet?” "I thought they had better hear your , ladyship's story first.” “I shall be giad when you can ar ’ range matters. It is horrible to me to think of him still lying there.” She shuddered and buried her face In her j hands. As she did so, the loose gown fell back from her forearms. Holmes uttered an exclamation. "You have other Iniuries. madam! What is this?" Two vivid red spots ! stood out on one of the white, round ; limbs. She hastily oovered it. “It is nothing. It has no connection with tins hideous business tonight. If 1 you and your friend will sit down, I [ will tell you ail I can. ’ “I am the wife of Sir Eustace Brack 1 enstail. I have been married about a * year I suppose that it is no use my 1 attempting to conceal that our mar 1 rtage has not been a happy one. I fear ' that all our neighbors would tell you 5 that, even if I wen* to attempt to deny > It. Perhaps >*' !>ult may lie partly . mine. I was orodght up in the freer, • less conventional atmosphere of South i Australia, and this English life, with ■ its proprieties and its primness, is not t congenial to me. But the main rea 5 son lies in the one fact, which is no i torious to every one, and that is that ; Sir Eustace was a confirmed drunkard. To be with such a man for an hour is unpleasant. Can you imagine what it e means tor a sensitive and high-spirited e woman to be tied to him for day and - night? It is a sacrilege, a crime, a r villainy to hold that such a marriage e is binding. 1 say that these moti t strous laws of yours will bring a curse 5 upon tne land—Cod will not let such - wickedness endure." Bor an instant she Silt up, her cheeks Hushed, and her eyes blazing from under the terrible mark upon her brow. Then the strong, 1 soothing hand of the austere maid drew - i het* head down on to the cushion, and 1 j the wild anger died away into pas siorate sobbing. At last she contin ued: “I will tell you about last night. You are aware, perhaps, that in this house all the servants sleep In the modern wing. This, central block is made up of the dwelling rooms, with the kitchen behind and our bed room above. M> maid, Theresa, sleeps above my room There Is no one else, and no sound could alarm those who are In the far ther wing. This must , have been well known to the robbers, or they would not have acted us they did. “Sir Eustace retired about half-past ten. The servants had already gone to their quarters. Only my maid was up. and she had remained in her room at the top of the house until I needed her services. I sat until after 11 In this room, absorbed In a book. Then 1 walked round to see that all was right before I went upstairs. It was my custom to do this myself, for, as 1 have explained. Sir Eustace was not always to be trusted. I went into the kitchen, the butler’s pantry, the gun room, the billiard room, the drawing room, and. Anally the dining room. As I approached the window, which is covered with thick curtains, I suddenly felt the wind blow upon my fnee. and realised that It was open. I Aung the curtain aside, and found myself face to face with a broad-shouldered elder ly man, who had Just stepped into the room. The window Is a long French one, which really forms a door leading to the lawn. I held my bed room cun dle lit In my hand, and, by Its light, behind the Arst man I saw two others, who were In the act of entering. I stepped back, but the fellow was on me in an instant. He caught me Arst by the wrist, and then by the throat. I opened my mouth to scream, but he struck me a savage blow with bis Ast over the eye. and felled me to the ground. I must have been unconscious for a few minutes, for when I came to myself I found that they had torn down the bell rope and had secured me tight ly to the oaken chair which stands at the head of the dining tnble. I was so Armly bound that I could not move, and a handkerchief round my mouth prevented me from uttering a sound. It was at this instant that my unfor tunate husbnnd entered the room. He had evidently heard some suspicious sounds, and he came prepared for such a scene as he found. He was dressed In his shirt and trousers, with his fa vorite blackthorn cudgel In his hand. He rushed at the burglars, but another —It was an elderly man, stooped, picked the poker out of the grate, ana struck him a horrible blow os he passed. He fell with a groan, and never moved again. I fainted once more, but again It could only have been for a very few minutes during which I was Insensible. When I opened my eyes I found that they had collected the silver from the sideboard, and they had drawn a bottle of wine which stood there. Each of them had a glass in his hand. I have already told you, have I not, that one was elderly, with a beard, and the others young, hair less lads? They might have been a father with his two sons. They talked together In whispers. Then they came over and made sure that I was securely bound. FlnaJIy they withdrew, clos ing the window after them. It was quite a quarter of an hour before I _ - ,,..*1, TXT v- ,,,, ▼ .11,1 nn my screams brought the maid to my assistance. The other servants were soon alarmed, and we sent for the local police, who Instantly communicated with London. That is really all that I can tell you, gentlemen, and I trust that it will not be necessary for me to go over so painful a story again.” "Any questions, Mr. Holmes?" asked Hopkins. “I will not impose any further tax upon Lady Brackenstall's patience and time,” said Holmes. "Before I go in to the dining room, I should like to hear your experience.” He looked at the maid. "I saw the men before ever they came into the house,” said she. “As 1 sat by my bed room window I saw three men in the moonlight down by the lodge gate yonder, but I thought nothing of it at the time. It was more than an hour after that I heard my mistress scream, and down I ran, to find her, poor lamb, Just as she says, and him on the floor, with his blood and brains over the room. It was enough to drive a woman out of her wits, tied there, and her dress spotted with him, but she never wanted cour age, did Miss Mary Fraser of Adelaide, and Lady Brackenstall of Abbey Grange hasn't learned new ways. You’ve questioned her long enough, you gentlemen, and now she is coming to her own room, just with her old The resa, to get the rest that she badly needs ’’ With a motherly tenderness the gaunt woman put her arm round her mistress and led her from the room. “She has been with her all her life," said Hopkins. "Nursed her as a ba by, and came with her to England when they first left Australia, eighteen months ago. Theresa Wright is her name, and the kind of maid you don’t pick u;i nowadays. This wuy, Mr. Holmes, if you please!” (Continued Next Week) “Lest Wo Forget.” American Grocer: There was a time when tallow candles cost 10 cents each and gave less titan one-twentieth of the illumination for a dollar than gas gives.

The merchant kept his own books, or, as he would have said, his own accounts, wrote all his letters with a quill, and, when they were written, let the ink dry or sprinkled it with sand. There were then no envelopes, no postage stamps, no letter boxes In the street, no collection of iht: malls.

From the .lawelers' Circular-Weekly. Hair barrettes or slides divide favor with the back comb for keeping unruly locks In order. The handsomest of these are of narrow diamond bands In terwoven In some very open loop or scroll patterns. Very wide gold bracelets are of fili gree set with green tourmalines and diamonds or with other colored stones, while heavy, half round bands are or namented in like manner. The ends of bracelets that do not clasp are finished with dragon, dog or lion heads, with half an inch between the ends. Bracelets will doubtless rernnin In high favor for some time to come, and me really should have a diversity of styles to keep in touch with fashion as to appropriateness In Jewels us well as In dress. A new brooch has a ruby about half an Inch In diameter as a central stone, framed In diamonds and set about with a wide border beautifully manipulated In diamonds. The drop stone Is a large ruby with a little ornamenta,! cap of diamond leaves. Borne heavy chain bracelets have the top only of elaborate diamond scroll work. Many new pendants or brooches dis pense with chains In the use of drop stones. Magnificent diamond brooches are mostly In the pendant style with drop stone somewhat closely attached. A style shown In some costly brooch designs where choice stones are em ployed has a single large stone or orna mental form, surrounded, as far as may be, by a comparatively large open space and-enclosed In a. band or border of diamonds forming the outline. A charming little pendant of this order Is of triangular shape, with three large diamonds In three separate openings across the top and finished with an or namental base and a beautiful irop stone without chain. Something new In the line of collar supporters are those finished with dia mond studs, where a little diamond spray falls from the upper stud to rest on the lace collar beneath. A charming little watch in pave dia mond work is inset with a design in green tourmalines, and the same de sign is carried out on the chatelaine pin to mnteh, which is of fancy triangular shape. As a variation on the perfectly flat gold mesh purse some of the large size are shown, with the top slightly fuller than the flat frame, simulating a gath ering, which makes the bottom wider than the top of the bag.
