■ II'» CHAPTEU IV A -- OOIWA.lW -Oonunneil. chapter va THI COKCLDHIOK. We had all been warned to appear before the aiagiatnUet upon the Thurs day; but when the Thursday came there was no occasion for our testi mony. A higher Judge had takeu the matter in hand, nod Jefferson Hope had been sumirionfed before a tribunal where strict justice would be meted out to him. On the very night after his capture the aneurism burst, and he was found in the morning stretched upon the floor of the cell, with a placid smile upon his face, as though he had been aide in his dying moments to look back upon a useful life and on work well done. “Orogson and Lestrade will be wild about his death,” Holmes remarked, as we chatted it over next evening. "Where will their grand advertisement be now?” ”1 don't see that they had very much to do with his capture,” i answered. "What you do in this world is a mat ter of no consequence," returned my companion, bitterly. "The question is. what can you make people believe that you have done? Never mind,” he con tinued, more brightly, after a pause,‘T would not have missed the investiga tion for anything. There has been no better case within my recollection. Simple as it was, there were several most instructive points about it.” “Simple!” I ejaculated. “Well, really, it can hardly be de scribed as otherwise," said Sherlock Holmes, smiling at my surprise. “The preof of its intrinsic simplicity is that without any help, save a few very or dinary deductions, 1 was able to lay my hand upon the criminal within three days.” “That is true.” said I. “1 have already explained to you that what is out of the common is usually a guide rather than a hin drance. In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward. That Is a very use ful accomplishment and a very easy one, bnt people do not practice it much. In the everyday affairs of life it is more useful to reason forward, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason syn thetically for one who can reason an alytically.” "1 confess,” said I, “that I do not quite follow you.” "I hardly expected that you would. Let me see if 1 can make it clear. Most people, if you describe a train of events to them, will tell you what the result would be. They can put those events together in their minds, anti argue from them that something will come to pass. There are few people, how ever, who, if you told them a result, would be able to evolve from their own inner consciousness what the steps were which led up to that result. This power is what I mean when I talk of reasoning backward, or analytically." “1 understand,” said I. “Now, this was a case in which you were given the result and had to And everything else for yourself. Now, let me endeavor to show you the different steps 1“ my reasoning. To begin at the beginning: 1 approached the house, as you know, on foot, and with my mind entirely free from all impres- , sions. I naturally began by examin ing the roadway, and there, as I have already explained to you, I saw clearly the marks of a cab, which, I ascer tained by inquiry, must have been was tncllnea rrom tne ursi u> me iav ter supposition. Political assassins are only too glad to do their work and to fly. This murder had, on the con trary, been done most deliberately, and the perpetrator had left his tracks all over the room, showing that he had been there all the time. It must have been a private wrong, and not a poetical one, which called for such a methodical revenge. When the in scription was discovered upon the wall 1 was more inclined than ever to my opinion. The thing was too evidently a blind. When the ring was found, however, it settled the question. Clearly the murderer had used It to remind his victim of some dead or ab sent woman. It was at this point that 1 asked tlregson whether he had in quired in his telegram to Cleveland as to any particular point in Mr. Drebber’s former career. He answered, you re member, in the negative. “I then proceeded to make a careful examination of the room, which con firmed me in ray opinion as to the mur derer’s height, and furnished me with the additional detail as to the Trichi- nopoly cigar and the length of his nails. I had already come to the con clusion, since there were no signs of a struggle, that the blood which covered the floor had burst from the murderer's nose in his excitement. I could per ceive that the track of blood coincided with the track of his feet It is sel dom that any man. unless he is very full-blooded, breaks out In this way through emotion, so I hazarded the opinion that the criminal was probably a robust and ruddy-faced man. Events proved that I had judged correctly. “Having left the house, I proceeded to do what Gregson had neglected. I telegraphed to the head of the police at Cleveland, limiting my jgqniry to the circumstances connected with the marriage of Enoch Drebber. The an swer was conclusfve. It told me that Drebber had already applied for the A BAGGED YOUNGSTER ASKED IE THEBE WAS A CABBY THEBE CALLED JEFFER SON HOPE. protection of the law against an old rival in love, named Jefferson Hope, and that this same Hope was at present in Europe. I knew now that I held the clew t« the mystery in my hand, and all that remained was to secure the murderer. “I had already determined in my own mind that the man who had walked into the house with Drebber was none other than the man who had driven the cab. The marks in the road showed me that the horse had wan dered on in a way which would have been impossible had there been any one in charge of it. Where, then, could the driver be, unless he were in- there during the night. I satisfied j B jj e ^|, e h ouse ? Again, it is absurd to myself that it was a cab and not a pri vate carriage by the narrow gauge of the wheels. The ordinary Tondon growler is considerably less wide than a gentleman's brougham. “This was the first point gained. I then walked slowly down the garden path, which happened to be composed of a clay soil, peculiarly suitable for taking impressions. No doubt it ap peared to you to be a mere trampled line of slush, but to my trained eyes every mark upon its surface bad a meaning. There is no branch of de tective science which is so important and so much neglected as the art of tracing footsteps. Happily, I have al ways laid great stress upon it, and much practice has made it second nature to me. I saw the heavy foot marks of the constables, but I saw also the tracks of the two men who had first passed through the garden. It warn easy to tell that they had been before the others, because in places their marks had been entirely obliter ated by the others coming upon the top of them. In this way my second link was formed, which told me that the nocturnal visitors were two In number, one remarkable for his height (as I calculated from the length of his stride) and the other fashionably dressed, to judge from the small and elegant Impression left by his boots. I “On entering the house this last in ference was confirmed. My well-booted man lay before me. The tall one, then, had done the murder, if murder there was. There was no wound upon the dead man's person, but the agitated expression upon his face assured me that he had foreseen his fate before It came upon him. Meu who die from heart disease or any sudden natural cause never by any chance exhibit agi tation upon their features. Having sniffed the dead man's lips, I detected s slightly sour smell, and I came to the conclusion that he had had poison forced upon him. Again I argued that it had been forced upon him, from the hatred and fear ex pressed upon his face. Hy the method of exclusion I had arrived at this result, for no other hypothesis would meet the facts. Do not imagine that it was a very unheard-of idea. The forcible administration of poison is by no means a new thing in criminal annals. The cases of Dolsky, In Odes- », and of Leturier, in Montpelier, will occur at once to any toxicologist. “And now came the great question as to the reason why. Robbery had not been the object of the murder, for nothing was taken. Was it politics, then, or was It a woman? That w«* , the Question which confronted »«• * as a lesson to all foreigners mat tncy will do wisely to settle their feuds at home and not to carry them on to British soil.

It Is expected that a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services." "Didn't 1 tell you so when we started?” cried Sherlock Holmes, with a laugh. "That's the result of all our study in scarlet; to get them s testi monial!” “Never mind.” I answered; “I have all the facts in my journal and the public shall know them.

The hands, the fingers, and above all the thumbs belonging to Chico at tracted my particular attention. Now you must know that it is because man has a thumb, and for the reason that his thumb is so beautifully jointed, supple and adjustable, that he has been able to overcome all difficulties, says a writer in Harper's. The other fingers are all very well in their way, but it is the thumb that controls the real move ment of tile hand. Without a thumb you never could wield a heavy sledge hammer or the most delicate of watch makers'tools. It Is not out of the way to say that man is the master, holding every other living thing “under his thumb.” Here is a little bit of natural history which must be remembered about monkeys. All the monkeys of the old world have some kind of a thumb. As St. George Mivart, a great zoologist, writes: "Any old-world monkey with a rudimentary thumb (that is. a thumb, even if imperfect) is superior in that- respect to an American monkey.” In fact, the American monkey has no thumb at all. Nature compensates in a measure in our new-world monkey by giving him a wonderful tail. This American monkey tail is prehensile. It answers almost the purpose of a fifth limb. A South American monkey gives his tail a hitch around the limb of a tree, and there he hangs quite com fortably, independent of hands or feet. Chico's thumbs are superb, being ful ly four and one-quarter inches long. The ordinary length of the human thumb is about two and one-half inches. Chico's middle finger is a trifle over five Inches long. Man's is three and one-half inches. The ourang- outang’s hand wasfiarrow, apparently, bnt it seemed about the width of that of a human being's, only the sense of proportion was lost, owing to the ex treme length of the fingers. The knuckles were small and perfectly in line. The stretch of such a hand as Chico's would be enormous, fully thirteen inches. The octave on the piano measures seven inches. If Chico were a pianist he could with little ef fort cover two octaves and would leave Paderewski quite in the shade. If Chico had a taste for the double bass, once that those long fingers of his were wound around the neck of a big fid dle, what a wonderful performer he would be, providing the instrument would stand the strain.

Lord Cockburn, after a long stroll, sat down on a hillside be* side a shepherd and observed that the sheep selected the cold* est situation for lying down. “Mac,” said he, “I think if I were a sheep I should certainly have preferred the other side of that hill,” The shepherd answered: “Ay, my lord; but if you had been a sheep ye would have had mair sense.” And Lord Cockburn was nev er tired of relating ths story and turning the laugh on himslf.— A Methodist clergyman tells this incident which occurred in a Pullman sleeper while riding through Iowa: As the train passed over the State line into Iowa, a seal was put on the li quor sideboard in the buffet, and and the clergyman, wishing to test the enforcement of the pro hihition law, called the porter and asked him it he could get a little whiskey. “Oh, yes, sah,” said the porter. “And how about a little wine?” queried the minister. “I think I can fix you, sah,” was the prompt and whispered reply. “Bdt,” continued the reverend, “how about prohibition in Iowa?” “Oh,” said the porter, with a knowing wink, “we always pick our men, sah.” A Household Treasure.

AH these considerations led me to the irresistible conclusion that Jefferson Hope was to be found among the jarveys of the metropolis. "If he had been one there was no reason to believe that he had ceased to be. On the contrary, from his point of view, any sudden change would be likely to draw attention to himself. He would probably, for a time at least, continue to perform his duties. There was no reason to suppose that he was going under an assumed name. Why should he change his name in a coun try where no one knew his original one? I therefore organized my street- Arab detective corps, and sent them systematically to every cab proprietor in London until they ferreted out the man that I wanted. How well they succeeded and how quickly I took ad vantage of it are still fresh in your recollection. The murder of Stanger- son was an incident which was entire ly unexpected, hut which could hardly in any case have been prevented Through it, as yon know, I came into possession of the pills, the existence of which I had already surmised. You see the whole thing is a chain of log ical sequences without a break or flaw.” “It Is wonderful!" 1 cried. “Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of the case. If you won't, I will for you." ••You may do what yen like, doctor,” he answered. “See here!” he con tinued. handing a paper over to me; “look at this! look at thia!” It was the Echo for the day. and the paragraph to which he pointed was de voted to the case in question. “The public,” it said, have lost a sensational treat through the sudden death of the man Hope, who was sus pected of the murder of Mr. Enoch Drebber and of Mr. Joseph Stangerson.

A travelling man occupied a sleeping-car and desired to lerve the train at Syracuse. “I am a sound sleeper, and want to be put off at Syracuse, asleep or awake. Now, here’s a dol lar, but don’t forget me.” “All right, sir, you’ll come off the train sure,” was the reply. The travelling man settled down to peaceful sleep. At last, waking with a start, he glanced at his watch and found Syracuse must have been past an hour ago. Hastily dressing, he searched the car in no pleasant mood, and found the porter at last with one eyo closed and one arm tied in a sling,'and presenting a demoralized appearance gener ally. “Here, you black scoun drel!” he exclai med,“ w hy didn ’ t you put me off at Syracuse?” The porter gave a terrified glance at the gentleman as he said: “For de Lawd sake, who was dat man I put off at Syra cuse?” ■ • mm * ■— - Specimen, Gases.
