through stained glass, the barometer,
and the bright stair rods. It was sooth
ing to catch even that passing glimpse
of a tranquil English home in the midst
of the wild, dark business which had
absorbed us.
And the more I thought of what had
happened, the1 wilder and darker it
grew. I reviewed the whole extraor
dinary sequence of events as 1 rattled
on through the silent gas-iit streets.
There was the original problem; that
at least was pretty clear now. The
death of Capt. Morstan, the sending of
the pearls, the advertisement, the let
terwe had had light upon all those
events. They had only led us, how
ever, to a deeper and f ar more trag-ic
mystery. The Indiary treasure, the
curious plan found among Morstan's
baggage, the strange scene at Maj.
Bholto's death, the rediscovery of the
treasure immediately followed by the
murder of the discoverer, the very sin
gnlar accompaniments to the crime, the
footsteps, the remarkable weapons, the
words upon the card, corresponding
with those upon Capt. Morstan's chart
here indeed was a labyrinth in which
a lean les8vsingularly endowed than mr.
fellow lodger might well despair of
ever finding the clew.
Pinchin lane was a row of shabby
two-storied brick houses in the lower
quarter of Lambeth. - I had to knock
for some time at No. 3 before I could
make any impression. At last, how
ever, there was the glint of a candle
behind the blind, and a face looked out
at the upper window.
"Go on, you drunken vagabond," said
the face. "If you kick up any more
row I'll open the kennels ond let out
forty-three dogs upon you."
"If you'll let one out it's just what I
have come for,'' said I.
"Go on!'' yelled the voice. "So help
me gracious, I have a wiper in this bag,
an' I'll drop it on you're 'ead if you
don't hook it."
"But I want a dog!" I cried.
"I won't be art-rued with!" shouted
Mr. Sherman. "Now stand clear; for
when I say 'three,' down goes the.
wiper."
"Mr. Sherlock Holmes " I began, but
the words had a most magical effect,
for the window instantly slammed
down, and within a minute the door
was unbarred and open. Mr. Sherman
was a lanky, lean old man, with stoop
ing1 shoulders, a stringy neck and blufe
tinted "glasses.
"A friend of Mr. Sherlock is always
welcome." said he. "Step in. sir. Keep
clear of the badger; for he bites. Ah,
naughty, naughty, would you take a
nip at the gentleman?" This to a stdafl

which thrust its wicked head and red
eyes between the bars of its cage.
"Don't mind that, sir; it's opiy a slow
worm. It hain't got no fangs, so I
gives it the run os the room, for it
keeps the beetles down. You must not
mind my bein' just a little short wi'
you at first, for I'm guyed at by the
children,, and thon-'s many a one just
comes down this lane to knock me up.
What was it that Mr. Sherlock Holmes
wanted, sir?"
"He wanted a dog of yours."
"Ah! that would be Toby."
"Yes, Toby was the name."
"Toby lives at No. 7 on the left
here." He moved slowly forward with
his candle among the queer animal
family which he had gathered round
him. in the uncertain, shadowy light
I could see dimly that there were
glancing-, glimmering eyes peeping
down at us from every cranny and
corner. Even the rafters above our
heads were lined by solemn fowls, who
lazily shifted their weight from one
leg to the other as our voices dis
turbed their slumbers.
Toby proved to be an ugly, long
haired, lop-eared creature, half span
iel and half lurcher, brown-and-white in
color, with a very clumsy waddling
gait. It accepted, after some hesita
tion, a lump of sugar which the old
naturalist handed to me, and, having
thus scaled an alliance, it followed me
to the cab, and made no difficulties
about accompanying me. It had just
struck three on the palace clock when
I found myself back once more at Pon
dicherry lodge. The ex.-prize-fighter
McMurdo had, I found, been arrested
as an accessory, and both he and Mr.
Sholto had been marched off to the
station. Two constables guarded the
narrow gate, but' they allowed me to
pass with the dog on my mentioning
the detective's name.
Holmes was standing on the door
step, with his hands in his pockets,
smoking his pipe.
"Ah. you have him there!" said he.
"Good dog-, then! Atheiney Join s has
gone. We have had an immense dis
play of energy since you left. lie has
arrested not only friend Thaddeus, but
the gatekeeper, the housekeeper, and
the Indian servant. We have the place
to ourselves, but for a sergeant upstairs.

Watson. I am going to do a, t little
climbing. And dip my handkerchief
into the creosote. That will do. Now
come up into the garret with me for a
moment." '
We clambered up through the hole.
Holmes turned his light once more
upon the footsteps in the dust.
"I wish you particularly to notice
these footmarks," he said. "Do you ob
serve anything noteworthy about
them?"
"They belong," I said, "to a child or
a small woman "
"Apart from their size, though. Is
there anything else?"
"They appear to be much as other
footmarks. "
"Not at all. Look here! This is the
print "of a right foot in the dust. Now
I make one with my naked foot beside
it. What is the chief difference?"
"Your toes are all cramped together.
The other print has each toe distinctly
divided." '?
''Quite so. That Is the point. Bear
that in mind. Now, would you kindly
step over to the flap-winrlow and smell
ih. edrre of the woodwork? I shall
stay over here, as I have this handker
chief in my hand."
I did as he directed, and was in
stantly conscious of a strong tarry
smell.
"That is where he put his foot in get
ting out. If you can trace him, I should
think that Toby will have no difficulty.
Now run downstairs, loose the dog,
and look out for Blondin."
By the time that I got out into the
grounds Sherlock Holmes was on the
roof, and I could see him like an enor
mous glow-worm, crawling very slowly
along the ridge. I lost sight of him
behind a stack of chimneys, but he
presently reappeared, and then van
ished once more upon the opposite side.
When I made my way round there I
found him seated at one of the corner
eaves.
"That, you, Watso;:?" he cried.
"Yes."
"This is the place. What is that
black thing down there?"
"A water-barrel."
"Top on it?"
"Yes."
"No sign of a. ladder?"
"No."
"Confound the fellow! It's a most
break-neck place. I ought to-be able
to come down where he could climb
up. The waterpipe feels pretty firm.
Here goes, anyhow."
There was a scuffling of the feet,
and the lantern began to come steadily
down the side of the wall. Then with
"a light spring he came on to the barrel,
and from there to the earth.
"It was easy to follow him," he said,
drawing on his stockinys and boots.
"Tiles were J.o.osened the whole way
along, and in his hurry he had dropped
this. It confirms my diagnosis, as you
doctors express it."
The object which he held up to me
was a small pocket or pouch woven out
of colored grasses and with a few
tawdry beads strung round it. In
shape and size it was not unlike a
cigarette ease. Inside were half a
dozen spines of dark wood, sharp at
one end and rounded at the other, like
that which had struck Bartholomew
Sholto.
"They arc hellish things," said he.
"Look out that you don't prick your
self. I'm delighted to have them for
the chances are that they are all he
has. There is the less fear of you or
me finding one in our skin before lonjj.
I would sooner face a Martini bullet,

trudge, Watson?"
"Certainly," I answered.
"Your leg will stand it?"
"Oh, yes. "
"Here you are," doggv! Good old
Toby! Smell it. Toby" smell it!"
Hej pushed the .creosote handker
chief under the dog's nose, while
the creature .stood with its fluffy
legs separated, and with a most comical
cock to its head, like a connoisseur snif
fing the bouquet of a famous vintage.
Holm' s then threw the handkerchief
to a distance, fastened a stout cord to
the mongrel's collar, and led him to
the foot of the -water barrel. The
creature instantly broke into a succes
sion of hig-h, tremulous yelps, and,
with his nose on the ground, and his
tail in the air, pattered off upon the
trail at a pace which strained his leash
and kept us at the top of our speed.
The east had been gradually whiten
ing, and we could now see some dis
tance in the cold gray light. The
square, massive house, with its black,
empty windows and high, bare walls,

us. Our course led rig-ht across the
grounds, in and out among- the trenches
and pits with which they were scarred
and intersected. The whole place,
with its scattered dirt heaps and ill
prown shrubs, had a blighted, ill
omened look which harmonized with
the black tragedy which hunp over it.
On reaching the boundary wall, Toby
ran along, whining eagerly, underneath
its shadow, aud stopped finally ip a
corner screen by a young beech'.
Where the two walls joined, several
bricks'had been loosened, and the crev
ices left were worn down and roupded
upon the lower side, as though they
had frequently 'been used as a ladder
Holmes clambered up, and, taking tho
dog from me, he dropped It over upon
the other side.
'"There's the print of wooden-leg's
hand," he remarked, as I mounter! nn
beside him "You see the slight!
smudge of blood upon the whito I
plaster. What a lucky thing it is that
we have had no very heavy rain since

road in spite of their cight-and-twenty

I confers that I had my doubts my
self when I reflected upon the great
traffic which had passed along the Lon
don road in the interval. My fears
. wen.- BOGjn appeased, however; Toby
never hesitated or swerved, but
waddled on in his peculiar rolling
fashion. Clearly the pungent smell
of the creosote rose high above all
other contending scents.
"Do not imagine," said Holmes, "that
I depend for my success in this case
upon the mere chance of one of these
fellows having put his foot in the chemi
cal. 1 nave knowledge now , which I
would enable mo to trace them in many
diHerent ways. This, however, is the
readiest, and, since fortune has put it
into our hands, I should be culpable if
I neglected it. It has, however, pre
vented the case from beeotnino- the
pretty little Intellectual problem
which it at one time promised to be.
There might have been some credit to
be gained out of It, but for this too
palpable clew,"
"There is credit, and to spare," said
I. "I assure you, Holmes, that I mar
vel at the means by which you obtain
your results in this case, even more
than I did in the Jefferson Hope mur
der. The thing seems to me to be
deeper and more Inexplicable How,
for example, could you describe with
such confidence the wooden-legged
man?"
"Pshaw, my dear boy! it was sim
plicity itself. I don't wish to be
theatrical. It is all patent and above
board. Two officers who arc in com
mand of a convict guard learn an im
portant secret as to buried treasure. A
map is drawn for them by an English
man named Jonathan Small. You re
member that we saw the name upon
the chart in Capt. Morstan's possession.
He had signed it in behalf of himself
and his associates the sign of the
four, as he somewhat dramatically
called it. Aided by this chart, the j

chart is dated at a time when Morstan j
was broug-ht into close association ;
with convicts. Jonathan Small did

associates were themselves convicts
and could not fret away."
"But this is mere speculation," said I.
"It is more than that. It is the only
hynothes is which covers the facts. Let
us see how it fits in with the sequel.
Maj. Sholto remains at peace for some
years, happy in the possession of his
treasure. Then he receives a" letter
from India which gives him a preat
fright. What was that?"
"A letter to say tSsat the men whom
he had wronged had been set free."
"Or had escaped. That is much more
likely, for he would have known what
their term of imprisonment was. It
would not have been a surprise to him.
What does he do then? lie guards him
self against a wooden-legged man a
white man, mark you, for he mistakes
a white tradesman for hira, and actual
ly fires a pistol at him. Now, only one
white man's name is on the chart.
The others are Hindoos or Moham
medans. There is no other white man.
Therefore we may soy with confidence
that the wooden-legged man is identi
cal with Jonathan Small. Does the
reasoning strike you as beinjr faulty?"
"No: it is clear and concise."
"Well, now, let us put ourselves in
the place.of Jonathan Small. Let us
look at it from his point of view. lie
comes to England with the double ideo
of regaining what he would consider to
be his rights and of having his revenge
upon the man who had wronged him.
lie found out where Sholto lived, and
very possibly he established coramuui
cations with some one inside the house.
There is this butler? Lai llao, whom we
have not seen. Mis. jrnstone gives
him. far from a good character. Small
could not find out, however, where the
treasure was hid, for no one ever
knew, save the major and one faithful
"servant who had died. Suddenly Small
learns that the major is on his death
bed. In a frenzy lest the secret of the
treasure die with him, he runs the
gauntlet of the guards, makes his way to
the dying man's window, and is only de
terred from entering by the presence
of his two sons. Mad with hate, how
ever, against the dead man, he enters
the room that night, searches his pri
vate papers in the hope of discovering
some memorandum relating to the
treasure, and finally leaves a memento
of his visit in the short inscription upon
the card. He had doubtless rdanned I
beforehand that should he slay the
major he would leave some such rec-
, . (
ord upon the body as a sign that it was
not a common murder, but, from the
point of view of the four associates,
Bomething in the nature of an act of
justice. Whimsical and bizarre con
ceits, of this kind are common enough
in the annals of crime, and usually af
ford valuable indications as to the
criminal. Do you follow all this?"
"Very clearly."
"Now, what could Jonathan Small
do? He could only continue to keep a
secret watch upon the efforts made to
find the treasure. Possibly he leaves
England and only comes back at inter
vals. Then comes the discovery of the
garret, and he is instantly informed of
it. We again trace the presence of
some confederate in the household.
Jonathan, with his wooden leg, is ut
