His cold and proud nature was alwajs averse, how ever, to niijthliiK In the shape of public applause, ami he bound 111 e lu the most strliiKi-iit terms to say no further word of himself, Ids methods or his sue-ces.se.s- a prohibition which, ax I bavo explain!, has only now ht-oii removed. Mr Sherlock Holmes was k-unliiK hack In Ids chair after bin whimsical protest and was unfolding his morning paper lu a leisurely fashion when our atten tion was nriested by a tremendous 1I11K at thu bell, followed Immediately by a hollow ilrummiiik sound, as If some one were beallnc on the outer door with Ills list. As It opened Iheie came a tumultii ais rush Into the hall, rapid feet elatteied up the stair and an liHtaut later a wild i-.st-d mid frau tie yoimi: man, pale, til .hoveled and palpltatltu;, la list Into Ihe m an, He I iiiki'il from one to the other of 111, and under our ;.c of itnpilry ho became conscious that some apology was need ed for this unceremonious entry. "I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes," he cried. "You mustn't blamo mi'. I ma nearly mud. Mr. II dines, I am the unhappy John Hector Md'ariiine." He made the aunjiutici'im.-nt as If Ihe II 1 1 e al me would explain both his visit and It 1 manner, but I could see by my eompinlon's unresponsive face that It meant no more to blin than to 1110. "Have a cigarette, .Mr. Mt'I-'arhiiie," nil lil he, pushing Ids case across. "I am sure that with your symptoms my friend Dr. Watson bom would pre-Nt-rlbo a wslatlve. Tlio weather has been ho very warm tlieso last few days. Now, If you feel a little moie composed I should be Kind If you would sit down In that chair mid tell us very (dowry anil tpilctly who you are and what It It that you want.

Our client, however, stared In iiiuirc meiit. "Yes, I am all that, Mr. Holmes, and In addition 1 am the most unfortunate man at this moment lu Loudon.

"Arrest you!" said Holmes. "This Is really most unit I most Interesting. On what charm' do you expect to bo ar rested?" Tpon the charge of murdering Mr. Jonas Oldacre of Lower Norwood," My companion's expressive face showed nsyniiiahy which was .not. 1 Hin arraui, entirety unmixed with sat isfaction. "Dear me," said he, "It was only this moment at breakfast that I wiih Hay ing to my friend Dr. Watson that sen national cases had disappeared out of our papers." Our visitor Htrotclied forward a tpilv crlug baud and picked up the Daily Telegraph, which still lay upon Holmes' knee. "If you had looked nt It, nlr, you would have neen at n glaneo what tlio errand Is on which I have come to you this morning. I feel ns If my name ami my misfortune must Ik lu every man's mouth." Ho turned It over to expose the central page. "Here It Is, ami with your permission I will reml it to you. Listen to this, Mr. Holmes. The headlines are: 'Mysterious Alfalr at Lower Norwood. Disappear " f n Well Known Hullder. Sus picion of Murder uud Arson. A Clew to the Criminal.' That Is tlio clew which they are already following, Mr. Holmes, ami 1 know that It leads In fallibly to me. 1 have been followed from London Hrltlge station, uud 1 am Hiiro Unit they lire only waiting for the warrant to arrest me.

I looked with Interest iiimiii this mail who was accused of being tlio perpe trator of a crlniti of violence. He was tlaxeii haired ami handsome, lu a wash ed out negative fashion, with frighten ed blue eyes and a clean Hhiivon face, with a weak. Honsltlve mouth. His agu may have been about twenty-seven, his dress ami hearing that of a gentleman. From the pocket of his light summer ovVrcoat piotruded the bundle of In dorsed papers which proclaimed his profession. "We must use what time we have," said Holmes. "Watson, would you have the kindness to take the paper and to read tlio paragraph In ques tion?" 1 naerneath the vigorous hendllnps which our client had ipiotod I reml the following suggestive narrative: (To bo continued. ) A hedgehog curls Itself up by n frown -that Is, by muscles like thono which produce a fiovvn and It frowns se verely or gently, according to circum stances if it Is poked hard It "sighs" itself tighter.
