The advent of u uuby hIiouIiI not be the signal for upsetting all the ordinary rules of a liotide. The baby himself is much happier and much more likely to be healthy if from the beginning he is brought up by method. During the first month of his little life the youngling of the human flock is often treated with Kith indiscretion that it is very hard for lii ui and for his poor mother to get him into good habits later. "I fully intended." writes a young matron in Harper's Bazar, "to bring my little Duncan up well from the first hour of his birth. And 1 would have had very little trouble if Walter's moth er had not just then come from Scotland to visit us. Duncan wus her first grand child, and the adoring grandmother had no patience with new tangled notions in the nursery. 'I rocked lay babies to sleep.' she said stoutly. 'I never laid the jioor little things down in their cribs and expected them to go to sleep. Yes, and I carried them when they cried. Many's the time, Margie, that I've carried your husband up anil down the floor for two hours without stopping. He was a great heavy fellow too. 1 would drop down utterly worn out at last. " "Nurse the baby by the clock? No, my dear. I believe in nursing a baby when he's hungry little and often is my way. A baby will never be a baby again. Let him be loved and pcttw 1 while he can.' So the grandmother, argued, and so, be ing a resolute person, buxom and strong of back as of will, she had her way. Dun can became, bless his heart, the tyrant and the despot a baby does when he has his own way. We were abject slaves, and Duncan ruled us with a rod of iron, Poor little man! He had the colic per petually. He woke up a dozen times every night. When he slept, it seemed as if we must bush our very breathing, lest it should disturb him, "My neighbor, a positive little lady, with no relations to interfere in fond foolishness, brought up her wee Johnnie, according to method. She nursed him by the clock. Therefore she could leave the house for a certain length of time, knowing that he would not, sutler for food while she was gone, Ho was the sweetest baby never sour or disagree able from repletion. "She never allowed him to be wakened that visitors might look at him, and she didn't let ieople IriM him if she could help tt. As for carrying the baby, that was absolutely forbidden. He was put into his cradle wide awake, wnnn ami comfortable, and was left in a darkened room to go to sleep. "There is ro telling how the boys will turn out when thy are old enough to go to nchool, but Johnnie is far less trou ble than Duncan. Not that I would ex change babies. fhoUghP' Bcccham's pills, arc for biliousness, bilious headache, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid liver, dizziness, sick head ache, bad lasle in the mouth, coated tongue, loss of appe tite, sallow skin, when caused by constipation ; and consti pation is the most frequent cause of all of them.

OCR AbVlifiTltitME.S'T. nlllNGS A VLSltOll Our mprnlng'a exertions had been too much for my weak health, and 1 was tired (.ut in the afternoon. After Holme-.' departure for the concert, I lay down upon the sofa mid endeav -d'ed to get a couple of hours' sleep. It was a useless attempt. , My mind had been too much excited by all thai, had occurred, and the strangest fancies and surmises crowded into it. Every time that I dosed my eyes I saw be fore toe the distorted. babonu-HUe countenance of the murdered man, So sinistl r was the impression which that face had produced upon me that I found it difficult to feel anything but gratitude for him who had removed its owner from the world. If ever human features bespoke vice of the most malignant type, (hey were certainly those of Enoch .1. Webber, Of Cleve land, still l recognized that justice must be done, and that the depravity of the victim was no coudouemccil in the eyes of the law. ' The more 1 thought of it the more extraordinary did my companion's hypothesis, that the man had been poisoned, appear I reinoinbpr how ho had suifted his lips, and had no doubt that he hud detected something which had given rise to the Idea. Then, again, if not poison, what had caused the man's death, since there was neither wound nor marks of strangu lation'.' Jiut, on the other hand, whose fjlood was that which lay so thickly upon the floor? There were no signs of a struggle, nor had the victim any weapon with which he might have wounded an antagonist. As long as all these questions were unsolved, I felt that sleep would bo no easy matter, either for Holmes or myself. His quiet, self-confident manner con vinced me that ho had already formed a theorv w hich explained all the facts. though what it was I could not for au instant conjecture. lie was very late iu returning so late that I knew that the concert could not have detained him all that time. Dinner was on the table before hit ap peared. "Jt was magnificent, '' ho said, as he took his seat. "Do you remember what Darwin says about music'.' He claims that the power of producing and appreciating it existed among the hu man race long before the power of speech was arrived at. l'erhaps that is why we areso subtly influenced by it. There are vague memories in our mollis of those misty centuries when the world was in its childhood." "That's rather a broad idea,"' 1 re marked. "One's ideas must be as broad as nature if they are to interpret nature," he answered. "What's the matter'.' You're not looking quite yourself. This BrixtOO road atfuir has upset you." "To tell the truth, it has." I said. "I ought to be more case hardened after my Afghan experiences, i saw my own comrades hacked to pieces at Malwand without losing my nerve." "I can understand. There is a mys tery about this which stimulates the imagination: where there is no imag ination there is no horror. Have you seen the evening paper'.'" "No." "It gives a fairly good BOddunl of the alt'air. It does not mention the fact that when the man was raised up a woman's wedding ring fell upon the floor. Jt is just as well it does uot." "Why'."' "Look at this adVertlsement," he an swered. "I had one sent to every pa per thil morning immediately after the affair." lie threw the puper across to me, and 1 glanced at the place indicated. Jt was the first announcement in the ''Found" column. "In Brixton road "H Dy his appearance at the gate. .Now put yourself in that man's place. On thinking the matter over, it must have occurred to him that it was possible that he had lost the ring in the road after leaving the house. What would he do then? He would eagerly look out for the evening papers, in the hope of seeing it among the articles found. His eye. of course, would light upon this, lie would be overjoyed. Why should he fear a trap? There would be no reason iu his eyes why the llud- ing of the ring should be connected u ith the murder, lie would come. We will come. You shall see him within au hour." "And then?" I asked. "Oh, you can leave me to deal with him. then, Have you any arms?" "1 have my old service revolver and a few cartridges." "You had better clean it and load it. He will be a desperate man, and, though I shall take him unawares, it is as well to be ready for anything." 1 went to mv bedroom uiul followed his advice. When I returned with the pistol the talile had been cleared and Holmes was engaged in his favorite occupation of scraping upon his violin. "The plot thickens." he said, as 1 entered. "I have just hud an answer to my American telegram. My view of the case is correct." "And that is?" I asked, eagerly. "My fiddle would be better for new Strings," he remarked. "Put your pis tol in your pocket. When the fellow comes speak to him in an ordinary way. Leave the rest to me. Don't frighten him bv looking at him too hard." "It is eight o'clock now," I said, glancing at my w atch. "Y'es. He will probably be here in a few minutes, (jjptfn the door slightly. That will do. Now put the key on the inside. Thank you!

With many mumbled blessings and protestations of gratitude the old crone packed it awdy in her pocket, and shuffled off down the stairs. Sher lock Holmes sprang to his feet the mo ment she was gone and rushed into his room. He returned in a few seconds enveloped in an ulster and a cravat.

"Oil, yes. you have." said he. hand ing me one. "This will do verv well. It Is almost u fnc-slmile." "And w ho do yon expect will answer this advertisement?"

Sherlock Holmes rose softly, and moved his chair iu the di rection of the door. We heard the servant pass along the hall, and the sharp click of the latch as she opened it. "Does Dr. Watson live here?" asked a clear but rui'ier harsh voice. e could not hear the servant's reply, but the door closed, and someone began to ascend the stairs. The footfall w as an uncertain and shuffling one. A look of surprise passed over the face of ' my companion as he listened to it. 1 came slowly along the passage, and there was a feeble tap at the door. "Come in!" I cried. At my summons, instead of the man ! of violence whom we expected, a very old and wrinkled woman hobbled into j the apartment. She appeared to be 'i dusted by the sudden blaze of light, ' and, after dropping a courtesy, she I Stood blinking at us with her bleared I eyes and fumbling in her pocket with nurvouii, shaky lingers. 1 glanced at I my companion, and his face had as- I 6umed such a disconsolate expression that it was all I could do to keep my I countenunee. The old crone drew out an evening i paper, and pointed at our advertise i ment. "It's this as has brought me, good gentlemen," she said, dropping I auother courtesy; "a gold wedding--I ring in the llrixton road. It belongs I to my girl Sally, as was married only j this time twelvemonth, which her husband is steward aboard a union boat, and what he'd say if he come onie ailu fouuu tier witliout tier ring is more than 1 can think, he being short enough at the best o' times, but more especially when wo has the drink.

"The llrixton road does not lie be tween any circus and Roundsditch," said Sherlock Holmes, sharply. The old woman faced round and looked keenly at him from her little red-rimmed eyes. "The gentleman asked me for my address," she said. "Sally lives in lodgings at 3 Maytlehl Plata I'eckhain."

"I'll follow her," he said, hurriedly; "she must be au accomplice, and will lead me to him. Wait up for me." The hall door had hurriedly slammed be hind our visitor liefore Holmes hud de scended the stair. Looking through the window I could see her walking feebly along the other side, while her pursuer dogged her Borne little dis tance behind. "Either his whole the ory is incorrect," 1 thought to myself, "or else he will be led now to the heart of the mystery." There was no need for him to ak me to wait up for him, for 1 felt that sleep was impossible until I heard the result of his adven ture. It was close upon nine when he set out. 1 had no idea how long he might be, but I sat stolidly puffing at my pipe end skipping over the pages of Henri Murger's "Vie do liohenie.'' Ten o'clock passed, and I heard the foot steps of the mauls as they pattered oil to bed. Eleven and the more stately tread of the landlady passed my door. bound for the same destination. It was close upon twelve before 1 heard the sharp sound of his latch-key. The in stant he entered I saw by his face that he had not been successful. Amuse ment and chagrin seemed to be strug gling for the mastery, until the former suddenly carried the day, and he burst into a hearty laugh. "1 wouldn't have the Scotland Vard ers know it for the world," he cried, dropping into his chair: "1 have chaffed them so much that they would never have let me bear the end of it. I can afford to laugh, because I know that 1 will be even with them in the long run." "What is it. then?" I asked. "Oh, 1 don't mind telling a story against myself. That creature had gone a little way when she began to limp and show every sign of being foot-sore. Presently she came to a halt, and hailed a four-wheeler which was pasiug. l managed to be close enough to her to hear the address, but 1 need not have been so anxious, for she sang it out loud enough to be heard at the other side of the street. 'Drive to 13 Duncan street, Houudsditeh,' she cried. This begins to look gen uine, I cried, and having seen her safely inside, I perched my self behind. That's an art which every detective should be an expert ut. Well, away we rattled, und never drew a rein until we reached the street in question. I hopped off before we eamo to the door, uud strolled down tho street in an easy, 'lounging way. I saw the cab pull up. The driver jumped down, and I saw him open the door and stand expectantly. Nothing came out, though, When I reached him be was groping about frantically in the empty cab, and giving vent to the finest assorted collection of oaths that ever 1 listened to. There was no sign or trace of his passenger, and I fear it will be some time before he gets his fare. On inquiring at No. 18 I found that the house belonged to a respecta ble paper-hanger, named Keswick, and that no one of the name either of Saw yer or Dennis had ever beep heard of there." "You don't mean to say." 1 cried, in amazement, "that that tottering, fee ble old woman was able to get out of the cab while It was in motion, with out either you or the driver seeing her?" "Old woman be d d!" said Sherlock Holmes, sharply. "We were the old women to be sotakeniu. It must have been a young mini, and au active one, too, besides being an Incomparable ac tor. The get-up wus inimitable. He saw that he was followed, no doubt, and used t his means of giving me tho Blip.

I left Holmes seated in front of tlie smolder ing lire, und long into the watches of the night I heard the low, melancholy wailings of his violin, and knew that he was still pondering over the strange problem which he hud set himself to unravel.
