1 XI.—THE ADVENTURE OF THE
MISSING THREE-QUARTER.—
Continued.
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
<r reek. Holmes nestled in silence int
his heavy coat, and I was glad to d
e the same, for the air was most bittei
o and neither of us had broken our fas:
It was not until we had consume
some hot tea at the station, and take
h our places in the Kentish train tha
n we were sufficiently thawed, he t
speak, and I to listen. Holmes drew
N note from his pocket and read it aloud
X Abbey Grange, Marsham, Kent,
i;> 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!”

Barrettes and Backcomb*.
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.
A diamond buffalo head and a dia

odd fancies In scarfplns.

"How Is business ?” asked the friend
af the genealogist.
"It is good except that I have had to
stop furnishing coats of arms to peo
ple."
"Why?”
"Because I will not furnish nn inao
mrute or.e, nor supply one to a person
who is not entitled to it. The work Is
hard, for each device means a great
deal and must be traced accurately,
md many of my patrons, alas! do pot
care whether they are entitled to it or
,iot If they ca nonly have something to
nang on the wall and point to and use
jn their stationery.
"Not long ago 1 searched out a coat
jf arms for a lady and had an artist
caint it for her. After I sent it to her
I learned that it was slightly inae
;urate, and ns I was anxious to have
it changed at once I asked her to re
turn it to me a while for that purpose.
She replied:
“ ‘Oh. no. It doesn't make any differ

The University of Notre Dame, It ap
pears, has some features that cannot be
lupllcated In any other school. It Is one
*f the old, well-established colleges,
vltli settled traditions reaching back
il-xty-four years, with a distinguished
itaff of professors and excellent library
ind laboratory equipment. Its disei
jline Is of the paternal kind—strong
without being oppressive; and as It
embraces In Its scope the grammar
ichool, high school, and college work,
‘ts appeal Is as broad as it is potent.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
»f the famous Indiana University, how
ever, Is the fact that It has arrived at
ts present marvelous development abso
lutely without endowment. An an

A Patented Plant.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
"One plant at least has been pat
ented," said an Inventor. "It Is th<r
Abrus precatorlous, alias paternoster
pea. alias weather plant. John Nowack
took out the patent.
"The weather plant Is still believed*
by rnnny persons to foretell the weath
er. John Nowack was sure It did so,
and he put It on the market along wltl>
an Indicating apparatus, guaranteeing
It to foretell, for forty-eight hours In
advance and for fifty miles around,
fog, rain, snow, hall, earthquake and
depressions likely to cause explosions
of tire damp.
"Alas for poor Nowack! The experts
of the bureau of agriculture took up
his patented plant. They proved that
the movements of the leaves—to ths
rlght foretelling rain, to the left fore
telling drought—were not caused by ths
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plant’s famous down
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an Insect that punctured the stem,
causing the leaf naturally to drop.
"That Is the only patented plant 1
know of, and Nowack lost money on
It.
“But how would you like to have an
exclusive patent on the coffee tree or
the tea plant?"
