H (Continued from Saturday). As we walked rapldly 36Wn ~ Howe street I glanced back at the building Wwhich we had left. There, dimly out- lined at the top window, I could see the shadow of a head, a woman's head, gazing tensely, rigidly, out into the night, waiting with breathless sus. pense for the renewal of that inter rupted message. At the doorway of the Howe street flats a man, mufled in & cravat and great-coat, was lean- ing against the ralling. He started as the halllight fell upon our faces. “Holmes!” he cried. “Why, Gregson!” sald my compane fon, as he shook hands with the Scot land Yard detective. “Journeys end with lovers’ meetings. What brings you here?” “The same reasons that bring you, I expect,” sald Gregson. “How you _&ot on to it I can’t imagine.” “Different threads, but leading up to the same tangle. I've beon taking the signals.” “Signals?” “Yes, from that window. They broke off in the middle. We came over to see the reason. But since it is safe in your hands I see no object in continuing the business.” “Walt a bit!” cried Gregson, eager- Iy. “Ill do you this justice, Mr, Holmes, that I was never in a case that I didn’t feel stronger for having you on my side. There's only the one exit to these flats, S0 we have him safe.” “Who 18 he?” “Well, well, we score over you for once, Mr. Holmes. You must give us best this time.” = He struck his stick sharply upon the ground, on ‘Which a cabman, his whip in his hand, sauntered over from a four-wheeler Which stood -on the far side of the street. “May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes?” he sald to the cab- man. “This 18 Mr. Leverton of Pink- erton’s American agency.” “The hero of the Long Island Cava mystery?” said Holmes. “Sir, I am pleased to meet you.” The American, a quiet, businesslike young man, with a clean-shaven, hatchet face, flushed up at the words of commendation. “I am on the trail of my life now, Mr. Holmes,” said he. “If I can gét Gorgiano—" “What! Gorglano of the-Red Cin cle?” “Oh, he has a European fame, has he? Well, we've learned all about him in America. We know he is at the bottom of fifty murders, and yet ‘we have nothing positive we can take him on. I tracked him over from New York, and I've been close to him for & week in London, waiting some ex- cuse to get my hand on his collar. Mr. Gregeon and I ran him to ground in that big tenement house, and’ there's only the one door, g0 he can’t slip us. There’s three folk come out since he .“What Brings You Heref” went in, but I'll swear he wasn’t one of them.” “Mr. Holmes talks of signals,” said Gregson. “I expect, as usual, he knows a good deal that we don't.” In a few clear words Holmes ex- plained the situation as it had ap- eared to us. The American struck 18 hands together With vexation. “He’s on to us!” he cried. “Why do you think so?” “Well, it figures out that way, does ft not? Here he 18, sending out mes- pages to an accomplice—there are se pral of’his gang in London. Then sud- fenly, just as by your own account he was telling them that there was dan- jer, he broke short off. What could mean except that from the window be had suddenly elther caught sight 3 us in the street, or in some way come to understand how close the danger was, and that he must act right away if he was to avold it? ‘What do you suggest, Mr. Holmes?" “That we go up at once and see for ourselves.” “But we have mo warrant for his arrest.” “He 18 in unoccupied premises un der suspiclous circumstances,” said Gregson. “That is good enough for the moment. When we have him by the heels we can see if New York can’t help us to keep him. I'll take the responsibility of arresting him now.” Our official detectives may blunder in the matter of intelligence, but nev- er in that of courage. Gregson climbed the stair to arrest this desperate mur- derer with the same absolutely quiet and businesslike bearing with which he would have ascended the official stalrcase of = Scotland Yard. The Pinkerton man had tried to push past bim, but Gregson had firmly elbowed bfin ‘back. London dangers were the privileg& of the London force. The door of the left-hand flat upon the third landing was standing ajar, Gregson pushed it open. Within al as abiolute silenca and darkness, I L [on the floor. 3 The Red Steps Pointed Toward Us. struck a match, and 1it the detective's lantern. As I did so, and as the flick- er steadied into a flame, we all gave 8 gasp of surprise. On the deal boards of the carpetless floor there was outlined a fresh track of blood. The red steps pointed towards us, and led away from an inner room, the door of which was closed. Gregson flung it open and held his light full blaze in front of him, whilst we all peered eagerly over his shoulders. In the middle of the floor of the empty room was huddled the figure of an enormous man, his clean-shaven, swarthy face grotesquely horrible in Its contortion, and his head encircled by a ghastly crimson halo of blood, lying in a broad wet circle upon the white woodwork. His knees were drawn up, his hands thrown out in gony, and from the center of his road, brown, upturned throat there projected the white haft of a knife driven blade-deep into his body. Giant as he was, the man must have gone down like a pole-axed ox before that terrific blow. Beside his right hand & most formidable horn-handled, two- edged dagger lay upon the floor, and pear it a black kid glove. “By George! it’s Black Gorgiano pimself!” crled the American detect- Ive. “Some one has got ahead of us this time.” “Here is the candle in the window, Mr. Holmes,” said Gregson. “Why, whatever are you doing?” Holmes had stepped across, had lit the candle, and was passing it back- wards and forwards across the win- dow-panes. Then he peered into-the darkness, blew the candle out, and threw it on the floor. “I rather think that will be helpful,” said he. He came over and stood in deep thought, while the two profes- slonals were examining the body. .“You say that three people came out from the flat while you were waiting downstairs,” said he, at last. “Did you observe them closely?” “Yes, I did.” ™ “Was there a fellow about thirty, black-bearded, dark, of middle size?” “Yes; he was the last to pass me.” “That ig your man, I fancy. I can give you his description, and we have 8 very excellent outline of his foot- mark. That should be enough for you.” “Not much, Mr. Holmes, among the millions of London. “Perhaps mot. That is why I thought it best to summon this lady to your aid.” We all turned round at the words. There, framed in the doorway, was a tall and beautiful woman—the 'mys- terious lodger of Bloomsbury. Slowly she advanced, her face pale and drawn with a frightful apprehension, per eyes fixed and staring, her terri- Red gaze riveted upon the dark figure “You have killed him!” she .mut- tered. “Oh, Dio mio, you have killed him!” Then I heard a sudden ®harp Intake of her breath, and she sprang Into the air with a cry of joy: Round end round the room she danced, her hands clapping, her dark eyes gleam- Ing with delighted wonder, and a thou- sand pretty Italian exclamations poure ing from her lips. It was terrible and emazing to.see such a woman g0 con- vulsed with joy at such a sight. Sude denly she stopped and gazed at us all with a questioning stare. “But you! You are police, are you not? You have killed Giuseppe:Gas glano. Is it not so?” “We are police, madam.” Bhe looked round into the shadows of the room. “But where, then, is Gennaro?” she asked. “He is my husband, Gennaro Lucca. I am Emilia Lucca, and we are both from New York. Where is Gennaro? He called me this moment from this window, and I ran with all my speed.” “It was I who called,” said Holmes. “You! How could you call?” “Your cipher was mot difficult, madam. Your presence here was de- sirable. I knew that I had-only to ‘flash ‘Vien!’ and you would surely come.” The beautiful Itallan looked with &we at my companion. “I do not understand how you know these things,” she said. “Giuseppe Gorgiano—how did he—" She paused, and then suddenly her face 1it up with- pride and delight. “Now I see it! My Gennaro! My splendid, beau- tiful Gennaro, who has guarded me safe from all harm, he did it, with his own strong hand he killed the mon- ster! Oh, Gennaro, how wonderful You are! What woman could ever be worthy of such a man?” 3 “Well, Mrs. Lucca,” sald the prosalo Gregson, laying his hand upon the! lady’s sleeve with as little sentiment ‘a8 if she were a Notting Hill hooli- gan, “I am not very clear yet' who you are or what you are; but you've sald enough to make it clear that all want you at the Yard.” “One 'moment, understand, mada; band will be arrested and tried criminal, and whi have known, then you cannot serve him better thai by telling us the whole story.” “Now that Gorglano is dead we fear t * said the lady. “He was a devil and a monster, and there can be no judge in the world who would punish my husband for having killed him.* ! : “In that case,” said Holmes, “my suggestion s that we lock this door, leave things as we found them, go with this lady to her room, and form our opinion after we have heard what it is that she hag to say to us.” (Continued Tomorrow), CUNCAN McDOUGAL GETS LIQUOR LICENSE (Continued- from first page.) tire project will be put over until the city is in better financial condition.

He says that in every case the pupil has improved and many have caught up with their classes. “A large part of the trouble,” said Professor Dyer, “is caused by physical deficiencies of the children. “Under- fed and under-exercised ¢hildren are in no condition for mental work. Up- on examination, one backward boy was found to have adnoids and when they were removed he at once showed a marked improvement and today is] up with his class, “Our schools should have a physi- cian who would examine thoroughly every child and in that way we would get at the real causes of & large num- ber of cases of mental deficiency. We want a personal examination of every doubttul case, especially of their eyes, ears, noses and throats.” i ‘Mr. Dyer said ‘that Bemidji would co-operate. in the state movement to the best of its ability as the problem| of -backward children is one of the hardest that the schools have "to meet.

Heretofore the Provinces alone have legislated on marriages.. The issue to be de- cided by the court is the constitu- tionality of the Lancaster marriage bill now pending in parliament, which provides that every marriage ceremony performed by any person authorized to perform, shall, every- where in Canada, be regarded as val- id notwithstanding any difference in the religious faith of the contracting parties, and without regard to the re- ligion of the person performing the ceremony. The whole controversy ‘was precipitated by the stand taken by the Roman Catholic church and upheld by the courts in certain of the Provinces to the effect that a marriage of two Roman Catholics by an authority outside the church was invalid.
