"I entirely believe you, madam,'
said Sherlock Holmes. "The recital of
these events must be very painful to
. you, and perhaps it will make it easier

can check me if I make any material

"And then atter.you had sent the let-

.IN,)."
"And he made you sweax to say
I nothing about your appointment with
Sir Charles?"
"He did, He said that the death was
a very mysterious one, and that I
should certainly be suspected if the
facts came out. He frightened me Into
remaining silent"
"Quite so. But you had your sus-
picions?"
She hesitated and looked down.
"I knew him," she said. "But if he
had kept faith with me I should always
have done so with him."
"I think that on the whole you have
had a fortunate escape," said Sherlock
Holmes, "You have had him in youi
power And he knew it, and yet you are
alive. You have been. walk-ing for some
months very near to the edge of a
precipice, We must' Wish you good
morning now, Mrs. Lyons, and it is
probable that you will very shortly
hear from us Ag2in," I
"Our case becomes rounded off, and
difficulty after difficulty thins away ia
front of us," said Holmes, as we stood
waiting for the arrival of the express
froxn town. "I shall soon be in the posi-
tion of being able to put into a single
connected narrative one of the most
eingul= and sensational crimes of mo-
dern times. Students of criminology
will remember the analogous incidents
in Godno" in Little Russia, in the year
'6(;, and of course there are the Ander-
son murders in North Carolina, but
this case possesses some features
which are entirely its own. Even now
we have no clear case against this
very wily man. But I shall be very
much surprised if it is not clear
enough before we go to - bed this
night."
The Lohdon express came roaring
into the station, and a small, wiry bnI1-
dog of a:man had sprung from a first-
class carriage. We all three shook
hands. and I saw at once from the
reverential way in which Lestrade
gazed at my companion that he had
learned a good deal since the days
when they had first worked together. I
could well remember the scorn which
the theories of the reasaxier used then
to excite in the practical man.
"Anything good" * he asked.
"The biggest thing for years," said
Holmes. "We have two hours before
we need think of starting. I think we
might employ it in getting some din -
nor, and then, Lestrade, we will take
the London fog out of,youT throat by
givin g you a breath of ' the pure night
air of Dartmoor. N&ver been there?
All, well,.l don't suppose you will for-
get your first visit."
CHAPTER XIV.
One of Sherlock Holmes's defects -
it, indeed one may .60,11 it a defeat-
eedingly loth to
communioate his full plans to any
other person until the instant of their
fulfilment. Partly it came no doubt
from his own,inasterful nature, which
loved to domlhate and surprise these
who were around hIM Partly Also from
ilia professional caution, which urged
. him never to take any chances, The re-
sult, however, was -very trying for
those who were acting as his Agents
