Boston. Mass. Wrestling in Scotland. From the London Standard. The sports field at Grasmere Ilea at the foot of a characteristic ridge of fells, very narrow at the top and as steep nearly as the side of a house. As you sit in the grand stand this ridge rises up in front of you. On the hare, precipitous slopes of it the guides' race is run. On the verdant lawn on which the grand stand is placed the wrestling matches are held and those spectators who are not In the stand make a ring around the lawn. There are coaches and carriages, too, all around, on which people sit and watch and have picnic luncheons, and it looks rather like Lord's cricket ground reduced In size. In Cumberland wrestling the fall Is won directly a man la thrown to the ground. There Is no need to pin the shoulders down as in Graeco-Itoman wrestling. Here at Grasmere all is ended Just when the Graeco-Roman catch-as-catch-canners would be get ting to the serious work. Were it not so the Grasmere sports would last all the year round. As it was, several matches went on at the same time. Many of the men had their tights embroidered with wonderful flowers or designs in silk or4 wool- the work of their women folk, who are now straln Ing to get a glimpse of how the charm worked from the swaying ranks of peo ple around the ground. Roys wrestled; men with white hair, who had gained in experience what they had lost in elasticity, wrestled. The hoys seemed to be young Orlandos temerously trying a fall with the Charleses of the profession, and who knows that there was not some Rosa lind who saw It all dimly from the crowd and was ready to say afterward.

"Well, take my advice. Examine him carefully. Don't do It before us. We’ll wait here. You take him into the back room. You’ll be more likely to get a confession out of him alone. As him how he dared to admit people and leave them alone in this room. Don't ask him if he has done it. Take it for granted. Tell him you know someone has been here. Press him. Tell him that a full confession Is his only chahce of forgiveness. Do exactly what I tell you! ” “By George, if he knows I'll have it out of him!” cried Lestrade. He dart ed Into the hall, and a few moments later his bullying voice sounded from the back room. "Now, Watson, now!" cried Holmes with frenzied eagerness. AH the de moniacal force of tne man masked be hind that listless manner hurst out In a. paroxysm of energy. He tore the drugget from the floor, and In an In stant was down on hls hands clawing at each of the squares of wood beneath It. One turned sideways as he dug his nails Into the edge of it. It hinged back like the lid of a box. A small black cavity opened beneath it. Holmes plunged hls eager hand Into it, and drew It out with a bitter snarl of an ger and disappointment. It was empty. "Quick, Watson, quick! Get it back again!" The wooden lid was replaced, and the drugget had only just been drawn straight when Lestrade's voice was heard in the passage. He found Holmes leaning languidly against the mantlepiaee, resigned and patient, en deavoring to conceal hls irrepressible yawns "Sorry to keep you walling, Mr. Holmes. I can see that you are bored to death with the whole affair. Well, he has confessed, all right. Come in here, MacPherson. Let these, gentle men hear of your most inexcusable conduct" The big constable, very hot and peni tent, sUHed Into the room. "I meant no harm, sir. I’m sure. The young woman came to the door last evening—mistook the house, she did. And then we got to talking. It’s lone some, when you're on duty here all day." “Well, what happened then?” "She wanted to see where the crime was done—had read about It In the papers, she said. She was a very re spectable, well-spoken young woman, sir, and I si>. husband should think that I was in trudlng into his affairs. And yet yot compromise me by coming here and st showing that there are business rela tions between us.” • “Unfortunately, madam, I had no pos sible alternative. I have been commis stoned to recover this Immensely import ant paper. 1 must therefore ask you madam, to be kind enough to place it in my hands.” The lady sprang to her feet, with the color all dashed in an instant from her beautiful face. Her eyes glazed—she tot tered—I thought that she would faint. Then with a grand effort she rallied from the shock, and a supreme astonishment and indignation chased every other expres sion from her features. “You—you insult me, Mr. Holmes.” “Come, come, madam, it is useless. Give up the letter.” She darted to the bell. "The butler shall show you out.” “Do not ring, Lady Hilda. If yon do, then all my earnest efforts to avoid a scandal will he frustrated. Give up the letter and all will bo set right. If you will work with me I ran arrange everything. If you work against me I must expose you.” She stood grandly defiant, a queenly fig ure, her eyes fixed upon his as if she would read his very soul. Her hand was on the boll, but she had forborne to ring it. “You are trying to frighten me. It is not a very manly thing, Mr. Holmes, to come here and browbeat a woman. You say that you know something. What is it that you know?” “Pray sit down, madam. You will hurt yourself there if you fall. I will not speak until you sit down. Thank you.” “I give you five minutes, Mr. Holmes.” “One is enough, Lady Hilda. I know of your visit to Eduardo Lucas, of your giv ing him this document, of your Ingenious return to the room last night, and of the manner in which you took the letter from the hiding place under the carx>et.” She stared at him with an ashen face and gulped twice before she could speak. “You ate mad, Mr. Holmes—you are mad!” she cried, at last. Ho drew a small piece of cardboard from his pocket. It was the face of a woman cut out of a portrait. “I have carried this because I thought it might he useful,” said he. “The police* man recognized it.” She gave a gasp and her head dropped back in the chair. “Come, Lady Hilda. You have the let ter. The matter may still bo adjusted. I have no desire to bring trouble to you. My duty ends when I have returned the lost letter to your husband. Take my advice and be frank with me. It is your only chance.” Her courage was admirable. Even now she would not own defeat. “I tell you again. Mr. Holmes, that you are under some absurd illusion.” Holmes rose from his chair. "I am sorry for you. Lady Hilda. I have done my best for you. I can see that it Is all in vain.” ±ie rang tno oen. rne nuner entered. “Is Mr. Trelawney Hope at home?” "He will be home, sir, at a quarter to one.” Holmes glanced at his watch. “Still a quarter of an hour," said he. “Very good. I shall wait.” The butler had hardly closed the door behind him when Lady Hilda was down on her knees at Holmes' feet, her hands outstretched, her beautiful face upturned and wet with her tears. “Oh, spare me, Mr. Holmes! Spare me!” she pleaded, in a frenzy of supplication. For heaven’s sake, don’t tell him! I love him so! I would not bring one shadow on his life, and this I know would break his noble heart.” Holmes raised the lady. “I am thank ful, madam, that you have come to your senses even at this last moment! There is not an instant to lose. Where is the letter?” She darted across to a writing desk, unlocked it, and drew out a long blue envelope. “Here tt \n Mr. Holmes. Would to heaven I had never seen it!” “How can we return it?” Holmes mut tered. “Quick, quick, we must think of some way! Where is the despatch-box?” “Still in his bedroom.” “What a stroke of luck! Quick, madam, bring it hero. ’ A moment later she hhd appeared with a red Jiat box in her hand. “How did you open it before? You have a duplicate key? Yes, of course you have. Open it!” From out of her bosom Lady Hilda had drawn a small key. The box flew open. It was stuffed with papers. Holmes thrust the blue envelope deep down into the heart of them, between the leaves of some other document. The box was shut, locked, and returned to the bedroom. “Now we are ready for hirn,’’ said Holmes. “We have still ten minutes. 1 am going far to screen you, Lady Hilda. In return you will spend the time in tell ing me frankly the real meaning of this extraordinary affair.” “Mr. Holmes, I will tell you everything,” cried the lady. “Oh, Mr. Holmes, I would cut off my right hand before I gave him a moment of sorrow! There Is no woman in all London who loves her husband as I do, and yet if he knew how I have acted —how 1 have been compelled to act—he would never forgive me. For his own honor stands so high that lie could not forget or pardon a lapse in another. Help me, Mr. Holmes! My happiness, his happi ness, our very lives are at stake!” “Quick, madam, the time grows short!” “It was a letter of mine, Mr. Holmes, an indiscreet letter written before my marriage—a foolish letter, a letter of an impulsive, loving girl. I meant no harm, and yet he would have thought it crimi nal. Had he read that letter his confi dence would have been forever destroyed. It i3 years since I wrote it. I had thought that the whole matter was forgotten. Then at last I heard from this man, Lucas, that it had passed into his hands, and that he would lay it before my hus band. I implored his mercy. He said that he would return my letter if I would bring him a certain document which he describ ed in my husband's despatch-box. He had some spy in the office who had told him of its existence. He assured me that no harm could come to my husband. Put yourself in my position, Mr. Holmes! What was I to do?” “Take your husband into your confi dence.” "I could not, Mr. Holmes, I could not! On the one side seemed certain ruin, on the other, terrible as it seemed to take my husband’s paper, still In a matter of politics I could not understand the con sequences, while in a matter of love and trust they were only too clear to me. I did it, Mr. Holmes! I took an impression of his key. This man, Lucas, furnished a duplicate. I opened his despatch-box, took the paper, and conveyed it to Godol phin street.” “What happened there, madam?” “I tapped at the door as agreed. Lucas opened it. 1 followed him into his room, leaving the hall door ajar behind me. for ! i feared to be alone with the man. 1 rc ! member that there was a woman outside as 1 entered. Our business was soon done, He had my letter on his desk, I handeci him the document. He gave me the let ter. At this instant there was a sound at the door. There were steps in the pas sage. Lucas quickly turned back the drugget, thrust the document into sonic | hiding place there, and covered it over. “What happened after that is like some fearful dream. I have a vision of a dark, frantic face, of a woman’s voice, which screamed In French, ‘My waiting Is not in vain. At last, at last, I have found you wfth her!’ There was a savage struggle. I saw him with a chair in his hand, a knife gleamed In hers. I rushed from the j horrible scene, ran from the house, and only next morning in the paper did I learn the dreadful result. That night I was I happy, for I had my letter, and I had ! r.ot seen yet what the future would bring, “It was the next morning that I realized that I had only exchanged one trouble for another. My husband's anguish at the loss of his paper went to my heart. I could hardly prevent myself from there and then kneeling down at his feet and telling him what I had done. Hut that ; again would mean a confession of tho past. I came to you that morning in order to understand the full enormity of my offence. From tlie instant that I grasped it my whole mind was turned to tho one thought of getting back my hus band's paper. It must still be where Lucas had placed It. for it was concealed before this dreadful woman entered the room. It it had not been for her com ing, I should not have known where his hiding place was. How was I to get into the room? For two days I watched the place, but the door was never left open. Last night I made a last attempt. What I did and how I succeeded, you have al ready learned. I brought the paper back with me, and thought of destroying it. since I could sec no way of returning ’t without confessing ray guilt to my hus band. Heavens, 1 hear his step upon tho stair!” flic European secretary burst excitedly into the room. “Any news, Mr. Holmes, any news?” he cried. “J have some hopes.” “Ah, thank heaven!” His face became radiant. “The..prime minister is lunch ing with me. May he share your hopes? tie has nerves of steel, and yet I know that he has hardly slept since this ter rible event. Jacobs, will you ask the prime minister to come up? As to you, dear, I fear that this is a matter of poli tics. We will join you in a few minutes in the diningroom.” The prime minister's manner was sub dued, but I could see by the gleam of his eyes and the twitchlngs of his bony hands that he shared tho excitement of his young colleague. “I understand that you have something to report, Mr. Holmes?” “Purely negative as yet,” my friend an swered. “I have inquired at every point where it might be, and I am sure that there is no danger to be apprehended.” "But fr.at is not enough, Mr. Holmes. We can not live forever on such a vol cano. We must have somthing definite.” "I am in hopes of getting it. That is why 1 am here. The more I think of the matter tho more convinced I am that tho letter has never left this house.” “Mr. Holmes!” "If it had it would certainly have been public by now.” "But why should anyone take it in or der to keep it in this house?” "I am not convinced that anyone did take it.” "Then how could it leave the despatch box?” "I am not convinced that it ever did leave tho despatch-box.” "Mr. Holmes, this joking is very ill timed. You have my assurance th?t It left tho box.” "Have you examined the box since Tues day morning?” "No. It was not necessary.” You may conceivably have overlooked It.” “Impossible, I cay.” “But I am not convinced of it. I have known such things to happen. I presume there are other papers there. Well, it may have got mixed with them.” “It was on the top.” “Someone may have shaken the box and displaced it.” “No, no. T had everything out.” “Surely it is easily decided, Hope,” said the premier. “Let us have the despatch box brought in.” The secretary rang the boll. “Jacobs, bring down my despatch-box. This is a farcical waste of time, but still, if nothing else will satisfy you, it shall be done. Thank you, Jacobs, put It here. I have always had the key on my watch chain. Here are the papers, you see. Let ter from Lord Morrow, report from Sir Charles Hardy, memorandum from Bel grade, note on the Russo-German grain taxes, letter from Madrid, note from Lord Flowers— Good heavens! "What is this? J-ord Bellinger! Lord Bellinger!” The premier snatched tlie blue envelope from his hand. “Yes, it is it—and the letter is intact, i Hope, I congratulate you.” “Thank you! Thank you! What a weight from my heart. But this is in conceivable-impossible. Mr. Ilolmes, you are a wizard, a sorcerer! How did you know it was there?” “Because I knew ic was nowhere else.” “I can not believe my eyos!” He ran wildly to the door. “Where is my wife? I must tell her that all is well. Hilda! Hilda!” we heard his voice on the stairs. The premier looked at Holmes with twinkling eyes. “Come sir,” said he. “There is more in this than meets the eye. How eamo the letter back in the box?” Holmes turned away smiling from the keen scrutiny of those wonderful eves. “We also have our diplomatic secrets,” said ho and. picking up his hat, lie turned to the door.
