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

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«*

It Is expected that a testimonial of

officers as a fitting recognition of their

"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

MONKEYS’ THUMBS.

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.

He Would Have Had More Sense.
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.”

suppose that any sane man would car
ry out a deliberate crime under the
very eyes, as it were, of a third person,
who was sure to betray him. .Lastly,
supposing one man wished to dog an
other through London, what better
means could he adopt than to turn cab-
driver? 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

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.
The details of the case will probably
never be known now, though we aru

Is Your Life
Worth Anything
to others? Are there uot
persons dependent on
your earnings for their
support? Are they pro
vided for in case of your
death? The simplest and
safest way of assuring
their protection is life in
surance. Business, pro
fessional, and working
men generally, should in
sure, for their brains or
their muscles,* are their
. capital and income too.
Deith stops them both.
Insure in the
Equitable Life
and death cannot stop your
salary or steal your capi
tal, and jour loved ones
will be safe from want
