" "MY CHAPTER I. . - 1 THE SCIENCE OF DEDTTCTIOX. -IT V. T? T. n holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantel piece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat moroc co case. With his Jon?, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate nee dle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy fore arm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, nresscd down the tinv Diston. and sank back into the velvet-lined nrmohair with a lnno-sirrh of satisfsim- tion. Three times a day for many months I had. witnessed this performance, but custom had not reconciled my miwl to it.- On the contrary, from day to day I had become more irritable at the sight, and my conscience swelled night ly within me at the thought that 1 had and again I" had registered a vow that I should deliver my soul upon the sub ject, but there was that in the cool, nonchalant air of my companion which made him the last man with whom one would care to take anything approach ing to a liberty. His great powers, his masterly manner, and the experience which I had had of his many extraor dinary qualities all made me diffident and backward in crossing him. Yet upon that afternoon, whether it was the Beaune which I had taken with my lunch, "or the additional exaspera tion produced by the extreme delibera tion of his manner, I suddenly felt that I could hold out no longer. "Which is it to-day?" I asked "mor phine or cocaine?" lie raised his eyes languidly from the old black-letter volume which he had opened. "It is cocaine," he said, "a seven per cent solution- Would you care to try it?" "No, indeed," I answered, brusquely. "My constitution has not got over the Afghan campaign yet. I cannot afford to throw any extra strain upon it." He smiled at my vehemence. "Per haps you are right, Watson." he said. "I suppose that its influence is physic ally ia bad one. I find it, however, bo transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind that its sec ondary action is a matter of small mo ment." 'But consider!" I said, earnestly. "Count the cost! Your brain may, as you say, be "roused "and excited, but it isa pathological and morbid process, which involves increased tissue-change and may at last leave a permanent weakness. You know, too, what a black reaction comes upon you. Surely the game is hardly worth the candlo. Why should you, for -a mere passing pleasure, risk the loss of those great powers with which you have been, en dowed? Remember that I speak not only as ane comrade to another, but as 'a medical man to one for whose con stitution he is to some extent answer able." He did not seem offended. On the contrary, he put his fing-er-tips to gether and leaned his elbows on the arms of his ehair, like one who has a relish for conversation. "My mind," he said, "rebels at stag nation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse 7 MIXD P.EBKLS AT 6T AGNATION." ftp cryptogram or the . most intricate analysis, 'and I am in my own proper atmosphere; I can dispense tlienr with artificial stimulants. 15ut I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have - '.-.' chosen my own particular profession or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world." "The only unofficial detective?" I said, raising my eyebrows. "The only unofficial consulting de tective," he answered. "I am the last - and highest- court of appeal in detec tion. When Gregson or Lestrade or . Athelney Jones are. out of their depths which, by the way, is their normal, - 6tate the matter is laid before m& I examine the data. asn expert, and pro nounce a specialist's opinion. 1 claim no credit in such ca;;es. I;!y mime fig ; ures in no newspaper. The work it:'lf . the pleasure of .finding a field for my peculiar powers, is my highest reward. But you have yourself hud somo experi ence of my methods of work in the Jefferson Hope case." . "Yes, indeed," said I, cordially. "I was never so struck by anything in my life. I even embodied it in a small brochure with the somewhat fantastic title of 'A Study in Scurlet.' " He shook his head sadb. "I glanced over it," said he. "Honestly, I cannot congratulate you upon it. Detection is, or ought to be, an 'exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have at tempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same, effect as if you worked a love story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid." ' "But the romance was there," I re monstrated. "I could not tamper with . the facts." - . "Some facts should be suppressed, or at least a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating -them. The only point in the case which de served mention was the curious ana lytical reasoning from effects to causes by which I succeeded In unraveling it." I was annoyed at this criticism of a ' work 'which had been specially de signed to please him. I confess, too, that I was irritated ,by the egotism which seemed to demand that every line of my pamphlet should be devoted to his own special doins-s. More than .once during the years that 1 bad uvea with him in Baker- street I had ob served that a small vanity-underlay my I r'T" 7L TCnTJ ; - f Z .if" "1 IT" fore, and though it did not prevent mo from walking, it ached wearily at every change of the weather. "My practice has extended recently to the continent," said Holmes, after awhile, filling up his old brier-root pipe. "I was consulted last weelt by Francois Le yillard. who, as you prob ably know, has come rather to . the front lately in the French-'detcctivo service. - lie has all the Celtic power of quick intuition, but he is deficient in the wide range of exact knowledge which in essential to the higher devel opments of his art. The case was con cerned with a will, and possessed some features of interest. I was able to ro- fer him to two parallel cases, the one i at Rirra in 1857, and the other at St.' Loui:; in 1371, which have suggested to Liin the true solution. Here is the let ter wlych I had this morning, acknowl- edging my assistance." lie' tossed over, as he spoke, a crumpled sheet of for eign notepapcr. I glanced my "eyes down it, catching a profusion of notes of admiration, with stray "magni fiques," "coup de maitres" and "tours de force, all testifying to the ardent admiration of the Frenchman. "lie speaks as a pupil to his master," sajd I. 1 , "Oh, he rateB my assistance too high ly," said Sherlock Holmes, lightly, "ile has considerable gifts himself, lie possesses two out of the three quali ties necessary for the ideal detective, lie has the power 6f observation and that of deduction. He is only wanting in knowle,dgei-tmd that may come in time, lie is now translating my small works into French." "Your works?" ;', "Oh, didn't you know?" be cried, laughing. "Yes, I have been guilty of several monographs.. They are , all upon technical subjects. Here, for ex ample, Is one 'Upon the Distinction Be tween he Ashes of the Various Tobao coea' " In it I enumerate a hundred and forty forms of cigar, cigarette and pipe tobacco, with colored plates illus trating the difference 'In the ash. It is a point which is continually turning up in criminal trials,, and . which is sometimes of supreme importance as a clew. If you can say definitely.for ex ample, that some murder has been, done by a man who was smoking an Indian lunkah, it obviously narrows your field of search. To the trained eye there is as - much difference be tween .the black ash, of " Trichinopoly and the white fluff of bird's-eye as there in between a cabbage and a potato." -. "You have an extraordinary genius for minutise." I remarked. "I appreciate their importance. Here is ray monograph upon the tracing of footsteps, with some remarks upon the uses of plaster of Paris as a preserver of impresses. Here, too, is a curious little work upon the influence of a trade upon the forcnof the hand, with the lithotypes of the hands of slaters, Bailors, cork-cutters, compositors, weav ers and diamond polishers. That is a matter of great practical interest to the scientific detective, especially in cases of unclaimed bodies, or in discovering the antecedents of criminals. But I weary you with my hobby." "Xot at all," I answered, earnestly. "It is of the greatest interest to me, es pecially since I have had the oppor tunity of observing your practical ap plication of it. But you spoke just now of observation and deduction. Surely the one to some extent implies the other." . "Why; hardly," he answered, leaning back luxuriously in his arm-chair, and sending up thick .blue wreaths from his pipe. "For example, observat'o shows me that you have been to the Wig-more street post office this moro ng. but dcductioni2is me know that wnen there -rtSi despatched a tele- gram. - ' ' ' - - , -lHghtr said I. ""Right .on both points.! But I confess that I dpn't see how you arrived at it. It was sudde"? impulse upon my part, and I have men tioned it to no one." ' "It is simplicity itself," he remarked, chuckling at my surprise "so absurd ly simple that an explanation is super-" tluous;' and yet It may serve to define the limits of observation and of deduction. Observation tells rae that you have a little reddish mould adhering to your instep. Just; opposite the Seymour street office they, have taken up the pavement and thrown up some' earth which lies in such way that it is diffi cult to avoid treading in it in entering." The earth Is of this peculiar reddish tint which is found, as far as I know, nowhere else in the neighborhood. So much is observations The rest is de duction." ' ..-'. . "Jiow, then, dkLyou deduce the tele gram?" . - "Why, of course I knew that yon had not written a letter, since I sat op posite toyou jill morning. I see also in your open desk there that you have a sheet of stamps and a thick bundle of post-cards. : What could you go into the post office for, tlienr but to send a wire? Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth." "In this case it certainly is so," I re plied, after a little thought., "The thing, however is, as you say, of the simplest. Would you think me imper tinent if I were to put your theories to a more severe test?" , - "On the contrary,"' he answered, "it would prevent me from taking a sec ond dose of cocaine. J should be de lighted to 1 ok into any problem which you might submit to me." "I have heard you say that it is diffi cult for a man to have anv ohioet In daily use without leaving the impress-j of his individuality upon it in such a " way that a trained observer might j too 4-V read it. Now. I have here a wath which has recently come into my pos- ; session. ,vouiayou nave tbe kindness j to let me have an opinion upon the character or habits of the late owner?" ; I handed him over the watch, with some slight feeling of amusement in my heart, for the test was, as I thong-ht, an impossible one, and I intended it as a-lesson agulnst the somewhat dog matic tone which he occasionally as sumed, lie balanced the watch In his hand, gazed hard at the dial, opened AVhen Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla.

I could hardly keep , from smiling at his crest fallen face when he finally snapped the case to and handed it back. -. . "There are hardly any data," he re marked. "The watch lias been recent ly cleaned, which robs me of my most suggestive facts." ' "You arc right," I answered. "It was cleaned before being sent to me." In my heart I accused my companion of putting forward a most lame and impotent excuse to cover his failure. What data could he expect from an un cleaued watch? . - "Though unsatisfactory my research has "not been entirely barren," he ob served, staring up at the ceilfng-with dreamy, lack-luster eves. - "Subject to ) vour correction. I should iudce that the watch belonged to your elder brother, -who inherited it from your fa ther." , ' ; . "That you gather," no doubt, from the II. W. upon the back?" "Quite so. The W. suggests your own name. - The date of the watch is nearly fifty years back, and the initials are as old as the wateii; so it was made for the last generation-. - Jewelry usu ally descends to the eldest son, and he is most likely to have the same name as the father. Your father has, if I remember right, been dead many years. It has, therefore, been in the hands of your eldest brother." "Right, so far," said I." "Anything else?" V He was a man of untidy habits very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived fof some time in poverty, with" occasional short inter vals of prosperity, and finally, taking to drink, he died. That is all I can gather." I sprang from my chair ahd limped impatiently about the room with con siderable bitterness in my Jieart. "This is unwqrthy of yon, Holmes," I said. "I could not have , believed that youwould have descended to this. You Have made inquiries into the history of my unhappy brother, and you now pre tend to deduce this knowledge in some fanciful way. You canDot expect me to believe that you have read ull this from his old watch! It is unkind, and, to speak plainly, has a touch of charla tanism in it." "My dear doctor," said he, kindly, "pray accept my apologies. Viewing the matter as an abstract problem, I hod forgotten how personal and pain ful a thing it might be to you. I assure you, however, that I never even knew that you had a brother until you handed me the watch." "Then how in the name of all that ia wonderful did" you get these facts? They! are absolutely correct in every particular." " "Ah, that is good luck. I could on,ly say what was the balance of probabil ity. I did not at all expect to be so ac curate." "But it was not mere guess work?" "No, no; I never guess. It is a shock ing habit destructive to the logical faculty. What seems strange to you is only so because you do not follow my train of thought or observe the small facts upon which large inferences may depend. For example, I began by stat ing that your . brother -was' careless. When -you observe the lower part of that watch case you notice that it is not only dinted in two places, but it is cut and marked all over from the habit of keeping other hard objects, such as coins or keys, in the same pocket. Surely it is no great feat to assume that a man who treats a fifty-guinea watch 80 valierfy must be a careless man. Neither is it a very far-fetched infer ence that a man who Innerits one ar ticle of such value is pretty well pro vided for in other respects. " I nodded to show that I, followed his reasoning, ' - "It is very customary . for pawn brokers in England, when they take a watch, to scratch the number of the ticket with a pin point upon the inside! of the case. It is more handy than the Mexican Mustane J Liriment for Burns, " Caked & Inflamed Udders. Piles, Rheumatic Pains, Bruises and Strains.

Finally, I ask you to look at the iner plate, which contains the key-hole. tonk - at the thousand of scratches, all round the hole marks whero the key has slipped. What sober man's key could liave scored those grooves?' But you will never see a 'drvmkard's watch without them. He winds' it at night, afid jhe leaves these traces of his unsteady hand. Where is the.mystery in all this?" "It is clear as daylight." I answered. "I regret the injustice which I did you. I should have had more faith in your marvelous faculty. May I ask whether yon-have any professional inquiry on foot at present?" : y "None.. Hence the coc:up.c. Ican not live 'without brain work. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here.
