Onoo or twice It lot'ined to me that I had seen the same figure hefore, mid 1 especially noticed two men who npnonri'd to lie hhelterln thcniM'lves from the wind in the door way of a hniiHc noiiie distance up the treet. I tried to draw my companion' attention to them, hut he jhw m little ejaculation of Impatience and contin ued to Htare Into the street. More than once he IMKctiil with Ills feet and tapped riiildly with his lingers upon the wall. It wiw evident to me that ho was Itwmnliu unenny and that IiIm plaint were not working out altogether nH he had hoped.

Ah!" Ho drew In his breath with a thrill, oicttod intake. In the dim light I miw hU head thrown forward, his whole attitude rigid with attention. Outside, the street was absolute! de serted. Those two men might still b crouching In tho doorway, but 1 could no longer see them.

Ho atood for an Instant, and than ho crept forward, crouching, men acing, luto tho room. Ho was within thrao yard of lift, this sinister figure, MMlXtl4. -braced, tiur soft.mwt. hU CoprrfcM by Cniitu'a Wfriiy. ""v 3 I ,.Vi uji.1,,1 ,-;uf,w'r'vMrjKC5Mfcx.vgs 1 of ILLUiTKATLD DY f. I).

As he sank to the level of this opening the light of the atieet, no longer dimmed hy the dusty gla.xs, fell full upon ills race. The man seemed to he heslde himself with evelteinent. I It' two eyes r.hono like stars, and Ills features were work ing rotivuNlvely. llo was an elderly our presence. man, with a thin, projecting nose. A high, Imld forehead and a P.uge griz zled muHtache. An opera hat was push ed to the hack of his head, and an evening dress shirt front gleamed out through his open overcoat. Ill- face was gaunt and swarthy, scored with deep, mil ago lines. In his hand ho ear rtcd what appeared to he a stick, hut as he laid It down upon the lloor It gavo a metallic clang. Then from the pocket of his overcoat ho drew a bulky object, mid ho busied himself In Home task which ended with a loud, sharp click, as If u spring or bolt had fallen Into Its place. Still kneeling upon tho lloor, he bent forward and threw all his weight and strength upon somo lover, with tho result that there came a long, whirling, grinding noise, ending once more In a powerful click. He straight onoil himself then, and I saw that what he held In his hand was a sort of a gun with n curiously misshapen butt, lie opened It at tho breech, put some tiiliu In and snapped thubreechblock. uosi:. with a ghastly Mantling clear at the end of his fore sight. I'or an Instant he was rigid and motionless. Then his linger tight ened on the trigger. There was a strange, loud whir, and a long, silvery tinkle of broken glass. At that Instant Holmes sprang like a ttger on to tho marksman's back and hurled him tint upon hU face. Ho was up again In a moment, and with convulsive strength he seized Holmes by tho throat, but I struck him on the head with the butt of my roiolvor, and he dropped again upon the door. I fell upon him, and as I held hlo my comrade blew a shrill call upon a uhlstle. There was tho clatter of running feet upon the pave incut, and two policemen In uniform, with one plain clothes detective, rushed through the front entrance and Into the loom "That .ion, I.estradoV" said Holmes. "Yes, Mr Holmes. I took the Joli myself It's good to see you hack III London, sir " "I think ou want a little unoilleial help Three uudctceted murders In one j ear won't do, l.estrade Hut jou han dled the .Moli-soy m story with less than lour usual that's to say, you handled It fairly well " We had all risen to our feet, our prls oner breathing hard, with a stalwart constable on each slile oi Mm. Already n few loiterers had begun to collect In the stns't. Holmes stepped up to tho window, leased It and dropped the blinds. I.estrndo had produced two caudles, and the policemen bad un covered their lanterns, 1 was able nt last to have a good look at our prls oner. It was a tremendously virile and yet sinister face which was turiuil toward us. With tho brow of a philosopher ubovo and the jaw of a sensualist be low, the man must haio started with great capacities for good or for evil. Hut one could not look upon his cruel Id no o,i os, with their drooping, cynical lids, or upon tho lloreo, aggressive uoe and the threatening, deep lined brow without reading nature's plainest dan ger signals. Ho took no hoed of any of k2 2: w-oi.i . iiri,-.M.-'riyfrjviri-7wrwYTfrBCT Uu, btlt fif? oyo.4 tvortf flxoil upon Holmes' face with nn espreslou In which hatred nnd nmar.oment weto riiunlly blended. "Volt (lend," ho kept on muttering -"yon clever, clever llcml!" "Ah, colonel." said Holmes, nrrang lug his rumpled collar, " 'Journeys end In lovers' meetings,' ns tho old play sayi. I don't think I have hud the pleasure of seeing you since you fa vored me with tJioso attentions ns I lay on tho lodge nbovc tho Itolchenbneh fnll." Tho colonel still stared nt my friend like a man In n trance. "You cunning, cunning flout!!" was all that ho could nay. "I huvo not Introduced you yet," mild Holmes. "This, gentlemen, Is Colonel Sebastian Moron, once of her majesty's Indian army and the best heavy game shot that our eastern empire has ever produced I believe I am correct, colo nel, In saying that your has of tigers atlll remains utrli tiled V The lloreo nl I man said nothing, but still glared at my companion. With his savage cyea and bristling mustache ho was wonderfully like a tiger him self. "I wonder that my very simple strat ngem could deceive so old n shikari," Haiti HoltncM. "It must bo very familiar to you. Have you not tethered u young kid under a tree, lulu above It with your title and waited for tho halt to bring up your tiger? This empty house is iy tree, and you nro. my tiger. You have p.xsl'ily h.id other guns In reserve In ccse fiero should lo sovornl tigers or In the unlikely supposition nf your own aim railing you. Those" he pointed around "are my other guns, The parallel la oxnet." Colonel Moron sprang forward with a snarl nf rage, but tho constables dragged htm back. Tho fury upon his face was terrible to look nt. "I confess that you had one small surprise for me," said Holmes. "I did not anticipate that you would yourself make use nf this empty house ami this convenient front window. I hud Imag ined you ns operating from tho street, where my friend l.estrade nnd his mer ry men wore awaiting you. With that exception nil has gone nn I expected." Colonel Mornn turned to tho official detective. "You may or may not hnvo Just cnuso for arresting mo," suld ho, "but nt least there can bo no ronson why I should submit to tho gibes of this per on. If I mu In tho bunds of tho law lot things be done In u legal way." "Well, that's reasonable enough," snld Lostrado. "Nothing further you have to say.

I do not propose to appear In the mutter at all. To you and to you only belongs tho credit of the remarkable nrrest which you have effected. Yes, I .est rude, I congratulate you!

Our old chambers hnd Ihsmi left un changed through the supervision of Mycroft Holmes and the Immediate care of Mrs. Hudson. As 1 entered I Haw, It Is true, an unwonted tidiness, but tho old landmark note all In their place. There was the chemical corner and the acid stained, deal topsd table. There upon u shelf was tho row of formidable scrapbooks and books of reference which, mniir of our fellow elt l7.eus would haio been so glad to burn. Tho diagrams, the violin case and tho pls' rack even the Persian slipper which contained the tobacco- all met my eyes as I glanced round me. There were two occupants of tho room one, Mrs, Hudson, who beamed upon us both us we entered; the other tho strange dummy which had played ho Important a part In the evening's nil ventures, it was a wax colored model of my friend s admirably done that it was a perfect facsimile. It stood on a small pedestal table with an old dressing gown of Holmes' so draped round It that tho Illusion from the street was absolutely perfect. "I hope you preserved all precautious, Mrs. Hudson';" said Holmes. "1 went to It on my knees, sir, Just ns y.m tidd mo." "i:.eellent. You carried tho tiling out well, Hid you observe whore tho bullet went';" "Yes. sir. I'm afraid it has spoilt your beautiful bust, for It passed right through the head nnd flattened Itself on tho wall. 1 picked It up from tho carpet. Hero It is!"
