The Baron snatched it with more eagerness than grace, and when it was safely within his grasp he exclaimed, You are indeed a genius, Mr. Holmes, how can I ever repay you? Holmes waved his hand airily. 4' Permit me, continued the Baron, to make you this small present, pray except it as a little gift. Holmes would have nothing of the sortg and after the Baron had bade us good night in the manner of a man who had lost a great load of care and gained one of satisfaction, the porter showed him out and we took our accustomed seats.

After some time I summoned courage enough to walk over to the chair where Holmes was sitting, and in a befittingly humble manner begged his pardonf What he said I will not write here, but sufficient it is to say that the next even- ing found us in our accustomed places as if nothing had happened to disturb the quiet of the room.
