I could see as he looked down that he was repressing some internal emo- tion. His features were still composed, but his eyes shone with amused ex'ul- tation. ' “Well, I’m glad to hear you say 30,” said Sir Henry, glancing with some surprise at my friend. “I don’t pre- tend to know much about these things. !and I’d be a better judge of a horse or a steer than of a picture.

It had not crossed my mind. however, that he would wish me to go with him, nor could I under- stand how we could both be absent at a moment which he himself declared: to be critical.

Now, Watson, I think that we cannot employ our time bet- ter than by calling upon your acquaint:- ance, Mrs. Lama Lyons.” ~ His plan of campaign was begin- ning to be evident. He would use the baronet in order to convince the Sta- pletons that we were really gone, while we should actually return at the instant when we were likely to be needed. That telegram from London, it mentioned by Sir Henry to the Sta- pletons, must remove the last sus- picions from their minds. Already I seemed to see our nets drawing closer round that lean-jawed pike._ Mrs. Laura Lyons Was in her omce, and Sherlock Holmes opened his in- terview with a frankness and direct- ness which considerably amazed her. 7 “I am investigating the circumstan- ces which attended the death of the late Sir Charles Baskerville,” said he. “My friend here, Dr. Watson has inâ€" formed me of what You have communi- cated. and also of what you have with- held in connection with that matter." “You have confessed that you asked Sir Charles to be at the gate at ten o’clock. We know that that was the place and hour of his death. You have withheld what the connection is be- tween these events." “There is no connection." “In .that case the coincidence must indeed be an extraordinary one. But I think that we shall succeed in estab- lishing a. connection after all. I wish to be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Lyons. We regard this case as one of murder, and the evidence may impli- cate not only your friend Mr. Staple- ton, but his wife as well." The lady sprang from her chain “His wife!" she cried. “The fact is no longer a secret. The person who has passed for his sister is really his wife.“ ‘ ‘ _____ A. v- yâ€"v 'vâ€"râ€"v ego.

When the Winnipeg Dramatic Club brought his Excellency'sA musical and dramatic competition to a splendid climax on the first Saturda night in Februar;v before a crowd and en- thusiast“: audience at the Russell Theatre, Ottawa, with a rsrely finish- °.d Int! upllormlyex‘oellent present:- A...â€". an- tion of their 0 ' 'nal drama, "The Release of Allan anvers," there was a unanimity of judgment that the trophy was unquestionably theirs. This ponular verdict was borne out by the ter announcement that the amateur dramatists from the West had been awarded the trophy by the judges. and that the Quebec Sym- phony Orchestra had, as was gener- ally ex , carried ofl the trophy in m o. The play presented by the Winni- peg company was written especially for the competition by Major Devine. who organized the company, assisted by Mr. Ernest Beaufort, who played the title role in a manner which stamped him as an amateur who would in professional ranks reach "stardom,’ and by Mr. Wilson Blue, an ex-Toronto newspaper man. who staged the production. It was by all odds the strongest of any presented during the competition. in point of dramatic intensity and compelling force. The company was admirably b“ an.” v, â€"â€"v ___._., que. by smoothness and virility of ac , and by careful attention to de- tail. t was more like a rofessional performance of metropo 'tan rank than arct‘uetion by amateurs. Miss w 0y. Mr. Beaufort, and Date a Mr. . 8. Bkuae showed themselves to m dramatic and histrionic ab' ty rare excellence. At the con- clnsion of the play the audience cheered sin and again, and gave an enth astio curtain call to Major Devine and the collaborateurs. The second half of the eyening was taken u by a fairly adequate render- ing of t e military drama, "Arms and the Man,” by the McGill University Dramatic Club of Montreal. Except for the meritorious rformance of Mrs. h8:123:50!) Leacoc , the company WOO y in the slime class with their Winnipeg competitors.
