1 was about to spring out when I felt Holmes’s cold, wiong grasp upon my wrist, I understood the whole argument of that firm, restraining grip— that {t was no affair of ours; that justine had overtaken a villain; that we had our own duties and our own objects, which were not to be lost sight of, But hardly hod the women rushed from the room when Holmes,’ with awift, silent steps, was over at the othr door. He turned the key in the lock. At the same instant we heard voices in the house and the sound of hurrying feet, The revolvor shots had rotsed the household, With perfect coolness Holmes slipped across to the safe, filled his two arms with bundles of letters, and poured them all into the fire, Some one turned the handle, and beat upon the outside of the door, Holmes looked swiftly round. The letter which had been the messenger of deith for Milverton lay, all mottle: with his blood, upon the table, Holmes tossed it In among the blazing papers, Then hv drew the key from the outer door, passed through after me, and locked tt on the outside, “This way, Watson,” sald he; “we can acale the garden wall in this direction.” ‘ T could not have bellevéd that un alarm could have spread so swiftly, Looking back, the huge house wus one blaze of light. The front door was ‘open, and figures were rushing down theetrive, . The whole garden was alive with people, and one fellow rained a view-halloa as we emerged front the veranda and followed hard at our heels, Holmes seemed tu know the grounds perfectly, and he threaded his way swiftly among a plantation of @mall trees, J lose at his heels, and our foremoet pursuer panting behind Ua It was a six-foot wall which barred our path, but he sprang to the top > Trilobite Club.

HAT quarter of a mile aprint in the darkness was the most ex- citing race the senior class ever ran, We were all panting for breath and Tom Lawrence was exhausted, when the gulde stopned and said: “Here ts the ladder!” The professor now exercised a quiet authority, We were lined up and count- ed to make sure that all were present. He declared that the guide should go frst, The rest were to go in any order, He insisted upon being last. Will Tomp- kins followed the guide, then came Tom Lawrence, th t boy, I do not remember the order in which the rest followed, The thought of climbing up a narrow hole five hundred feet did not seem #0 inviting as it did when proposed in & spirit of bravado, Sut there was no other way.

We had gone only about two hundred feet though it seemed much further, when the whole) column halted, Bach one bumped Into) the fellow ahead, “What's the matter?” “Tom Lawrence is stuck fast!" "Can you crowd him through?" asked the professor, Pushing with all our might we man- aged to squeeze him through the nat-| row place, only to be stopped again In a few moments, This time we could not overcome the difficulty, Tom was too large fcr the passage.

The physiclun who had been sum- moned set to work, and in a short time the professor had revived and was taken 12 the hotel. By the next we were able to go back to school. The professor was our hero, and the hero of the entire school when our story was told. A week later the class of 188— held a meeting, We took the permanent name of Trilobite Club, Ti was a seeret so- clety, limited to the members of the senior class, We decided to have but ene honorary member, The professor waa cleoted, by acclamation, When he same In answer to our invitation, Will Tomokins, in an address, begged his pardon in the name of the class and asked him to become our only hono! | member, In a most kindly spirit, “the honor"? was accepted, ‘Then John Tib- bitts read a iter from a cousin who had been a classmate of the professor, from this we learned that in college ‘he had been known as Billy, “Now,” said the President, “we wish to be as near to you as possible.
