But the landlady had the pertinac ity, and also the cunning of her sex. She held her ground firmly. “You arranged an affair for a lodger of mine last year,” she said—“Mr, Fairdale Hobbs.” “Ah, yes—a simple matter.” “But he would never cease talking of it—your kindness, sir, and the way in which you brought light into the darkness. I remembered his words myself. I know you could if you only would.” Holmes was accessible upon the side of flattery, and also, to do him justice, upon the side of kindliness. The two forces made him lay down his gum-brush with a sigh of resigna- tion and push back his chair. “Well, well, Mrs. Warren, let us hear about it, then. You don’t object to tobacco, 1 take it? Thank you, Watson—the matches! You are un- easy, as I understand, because your new lodger remains in his room and you cannot see him. Why, bless you, Mrs. Warren, if I were your lodger you often would not see me for weeks on end.” “No doubt, sir; but this is different. It frightens me, Mr. Holmes. I can’t sleep for fright. To hear his quick step moving here and moving there from early morning ‘o late at night, and yet never to catch so much as a glimpse of him—it’s more than I can stand. My husband is as nervous over it as I am, but he is out at his work all day, while I get no rest from it.!| What is he hiding for? What has he done? Except for the girl, I am all alone in the house with him, and it's| more than my nerves can stand.” Holmes leaned forward and laid his long, thin fingers upon the woman’s shoulder. He had an almost hypnotic power of soothing when he wished. The scared look faded from her eyes, and her agitated features smoothed | into their usual commonplace. She! sat down in the chair which he had | indicated. “If 1 take it up 1 must understand every detail,” said Le. “Tale time to| consider. The smallest pcint may be the most essential. You say that the man came ten days ago, and paid you for a fortnight's board and lodging?” “He asked my terms, sir. I said fifty shillings a week. There is a; small sitting-rcom and bedroom, am,i,, “Well 2 “He said, ‘T'll pay you five pounds a week if I can have it on my own terms.” I'm a poor woman, sir, and ‘Mr. Warren earns little, and the mon- ey meant much to me. He took out a ten-pound note, and he held it out to me then and there. ‘You can have the same every fortnight for a long time to come if you keep the terms,’ he said. ‘If not, I'll have no more to do with you.”” “What were the terms?” “Well, sir, they were that he was to have a key of the house. That was all right. Lodgers often have them. Also, that he was to be left entirely to himself, and never, upon any ex- cuse, to be disturbed.” “Nothing very wonderful in that, surely ?” “Not in reason, sir. But this is out of all reason. He has been there for ten days, and neither Mr. Warren nor I nor the girl has once set eyes upon him. We can hear that quick step of his pacing up and down, up and down, night, morning and noon; but except on that first night he has never once gone out of the house.” “Oh, he went out the first night, |ing. did he?” “Yes, sir, and returned very late— after we were all in bed. He told me after he had taken the rooms that he would do so, and asked me not to bar the door. I heard him come up the stair after midnight.” “But his ‘meals?” , “It was his particular direction that we-~should always, when:he rang, leave his meal upon a. chair outside his door.

Barnes left 'the first moming——DAILY GA- ZETTE. 1 leave that paper with hil breakfast every morning.” “Dear me, Watson,” said Holmes, staring with great curiosity at the | slips of foolscap which the landlady { had handed to him, “this is certainly & little unusual. ‘Seclusion I can un- derstand; by why print? Printing is e clumsy process. Why not write? What would it suggest, Watson?” “That he desired to conceal his handwriting.” “But why? What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a | word of his writing? Still, it may be as you say. Then, again, why such laconic messages?”’ “I cannot imagine.” “It opens a pleasing field for intelll- gent speculation. ' The words are writ- ten with a broad-pointed, violet-tinted pencil of a not unusual pattern. You will observe that the paper is torn away at the side here after the print- ing was done, so that the ‘S’ of ‘SOAP’ is partly gone. Suggestive, ‘Watson, is it not?” . “Of caution?” “Exactly. There was evidently some mark, some thumb print, something which might give a clew to the per- eon’s identity. Now, Mrs. Warren, you say that the man was of middle size, dark and bearded. What age would he be?” “Youngish—not over thirty.” “Well, can you give me no further Indications ?” “He spoke good English, sir, and yet I thought he was a foreigner by his accent.” “And he was well dressed?” “Very smartly dressed, sir—quite the gentleman. Dark clothes—noth- ing you would note.” “He gave no name?” “No, sir.” “And has had no letters or callers?” “None.” “But surely you or the girl enter his room of a morning?” “No, sir; he locks after himself entirely.” “Dear me! that is certainly remark- able. What about his luggage?” “He had one big brown bag with him—nothing else.” “Well, we don’t seem to have much material to help us. Do you say | nothing has come out of that room— absolutely nothing?” The landlady drew an envelope from her bag; from it she shook out two burnt matches and a ciragette- end upon the table. “They were on his tray this morn- I brought them because I had heard that you can read great things out of small ones.” Holmes shrugged his shoulders. “There is nothing here,” said he. “The matches have, of course, been used to light cigarettes. That is obvi-’ jous from the shortness of the, burnt -been a substitution of lodgers.” end. Half the match is consumed in lighting a pipe or a cigar. But, dear me! this cigarette stub is certainly remarkable. The gentleman was bearded and mustached, you say?” “Yes, sir.” “I don’t understand that. I should say that only a clean-shaven man could have smoked this. Why, Wat- son, even your modest mustache would have been singed.” “A holder?? I suggested. “No, no; the end is matted. I sup- i occurs,” and- rely mpon my- assiatanco if 1t should be needed. “There are certainly some points o! interest in this case, Watson,” he re- marked Wwhen the landlady had left ' “It 'may, of course, be trivial— Indlvidual eccentricity; or it may be very much deeper than appears on the surface. The first thing that strikes one is the obvious possibility that the person now in the rooms may be en- tirely different from the one who en- gaged them.” “Why. should you think so?” “Well, apart from this cigarette- end, was it not suggestive that the only time the lodger went out was im- mediately ‘After his taking the rooms? He came back—or someone came back—when all witnesses were out of the way. We have no proof that the person who came back was the person who went out. Then, again, the man who took the rooms spoke English well. .This other, however, prints ‘match’ when it should have been ‘matches” I can imagine that the word was taken out of a dictionary, which would give the noun but not TIIIITIIFIIL ADVEHTISIHG Since the Ingredients Entering Peruna | Are Known, Its Poweras a Catarrh | tive ingredients entering the most popular household remedy in the world have been made known to the public.

There is one rather obvious line of investi- gation.” He took down the great book in which, day by day, he filed the agony columns of the various Lon- don journals. “Dear me!” said he, turning over the pages, “what a cho- rus of groans, cries and bleatings! What a rag-bag of singular happen- ings! But surely the most valuable hunting-ground that ever was given to a student of the unusual! This per- son is alone, and cannot be ap- proached by letter without a breach of that absolute seerecy which’ is de- sired. How is any news or any mes- sage to reach him, from without? Obviously by advertisement through a newspaper. There seems no other way, and fortunately we need con- cern ourselves with the one paper only. Here are the Daily Gazette ex- tracts’ of the last fortnight. ‘Lady with a black boa at Prince’s Skating clup’—that we may pass. ‘Surely Jimmy will not break his mother's heart’—that appears to be irrelevant. ‘If the lady who fainted in the Brix- ton bus’—she does not interest me. ‘Every day my heart longs—' Bleat, ‘Watson—unmitigated bleat! Ah! this is a little more possible. Listen to this: ‘Be patient. Will find some sure means of communication. Mean- while, this column.—G.’ That ‘is two days after Mrs. Warren’s lodger ar- rived. It sounds plausible, does it not? The mysterious one could un- derstand English, even if he could not print it. Let us see if we can pick up the trace again. Yes, here we are— three days later. ‘Am making suc- cessful arrangements. Patience and prudence. The clovds will pass.—G.’ Nothing for a week after that. Then comes something much more definite: ‘The path is clearing. If I find chance signal message remember code agreed —one A, two B, and so on. You will hear soon.—G. That was in yester- day’s paper, and there is nothing ‘in today’s. It’s all very appropriate to Mrs. Warren’s lodger.
