'You appear to be astonished," he
said, fmiling' at my expression of sur
prise. "Now that I do know it I ohai
do my best to forget it." . - ;
"To forget it!" -
"You see," he explained, "I consider
that a man's brain originally is like a
little empty attic, and you have ta
stock it with such furniture as you
choose. A fool takes in all the lumber
of every sort that he comas across, so
that the knowledge which might be
useful to him gets crowded out, or at
best I-jumbled up with a lot of other
things, so that he has a difficulty in
laying his hands upon it. Now tha
skillful workman is very careful indeed
as to what he takes into his brain-attic.-
lie will have nothing-but the.
tools which may help him in doing his
work, but of these he has a large
assortment, and all in the most perfect
order. It is a mistake to think that
that little room has elastic walls and
can distend to any extent. Depend
upon it, there comes a time when for
every addition of knowledge you for
get something that you knew before.
It is of the highest importance, there
fore, not to have useless facts elbowing
out the useful ones."
"But the solar svstem!" I protested.
"What the deuce is it to me?" he in
terrupted impatiently; "you say that
we go round the sun. If we went
round the moon it would not make a
pennyworth of difference to me or to
my work."
I was on the point of asking him
what that work might be, but some
thing in his manner showed me that
the question would be an unwelcome
one. I pondered over our short con
versation, however, and endeavored to
draw my deductions from it. He said
that he would acquire no knowledge
which did not bear upon his object.
Therefore all the knowledge which he
possessed was such as would be useful
to him. I enumerated.in my own mind
all the various points upon which he
had shown me that he was exception
ally well informed. I even took a
pencil and jotted them down. I could
not help smiling at the document when
I had completed it. It ran in this way:

When I had got so far in my list I
threw it into the fire in despair. "If I
can only find what the fellow is driv
ing at by reconciling all these accom
plishments, and discovering a calling

which needs them all," I said to my
self, "I may as well give up the at
tempt at once."
I see that I have alluded above to his
powers on tbe violin. These were very
remarkable, but as eccentric as all
his other accomplishments. That he
could play pieces, and difficult pieces,
I knew well, because at my request he
has played me some of Mendelssohn's
Lieder and other favorites. When left
to himself, however, he would seldom
produce any music or attempt any rec
ognized air. Leaning back in his arm
chair of an evening he would close his
eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle
which was thrown across his knee.
sometimes tne cnoras were sonor
ous and melancholy. Occasionally they
were fantastic and cheerful. Clearly
they reflected . the thoughts which
possessed him, but whether the music
aided those thoughts or whether the
playing, "was simply the result of ,
whim of fancy was more than I could
determine. I , might . have rebelled
against these exasperating solos had it
not'been that - he usually terminated
them by playing, in quick succession' a
whole series of my favorite" airs as a
slight compensatiour for the trial upon
my patience. f
... During the first week or so we had no
callers, and I had begun to think that
my companion was as friendless a man
as I was toy self. Presently, however.
I found that ; he had many acquaint
ances, .ami those " in mo6t different
classes of society. There was one lit
tle, sallow ratfaced, dark-eyed fellow
wh6 was . Introduced tome as Mr Les
trade,; and who came three or four
times , in a single week. One morning
a ' ydurig girl . .called, fashionably
dressel, and-stayed fof half an, hour or
more." The same afternoon brought a
gray-headed, seedy visitors looking like
a Jew peddler, who appeared to me to. be
much excited, and who was closely fol
lowed by a slip-shod elderly, woman.
On another . occasion an old' white
haired - gentleman had an : interview
"with my-eompanionf and on another a

people are my clients." Agafn I had
an opportunity of asking him a point
blank question, and again my delicacy
prevented me from forcing another
man to confide in me. I imagined at
the time that he had some strong rea
son for not alluding to it, but he soon
dispelled the idea by coming vround to
the subject of his own accord.
It was upon the 4th of March, as I
have good reason to rememberthat 1
rose somewhat earlier than usual, and
found that Sherlock Holmes had not yet
finished his breakfast. The landlady
had become so accustomed to my late
habits that my pla,ce had not been laid
nor my coffee prepared. With the un
reasonable petulance of mankind I
rang the bell ana gave a curt intima
tion that I was ready. Then I picked
up a magazine from the table and at
tempted to while away the time with
it, while my companion munched si
lently at his toast. One of the articles
had a pencil mark at the heading,
and I naturally began to run my eye
through it.
Its somewhat ambitions title was
"The Book of Life," and it attempted
to show how much an observant man
might learn by an e curate and sys
tematic examination of all that came
in his way. It struck me as being a re
mnrkable mixture of shrewdness and
absurdity. The reasoning was close
and intense, bat the deductions ap
peared to be far-fetched and exagger
ated. The writer claimed by a mo
mentary expression, a twitch of a
muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom
a man's inmost though t3. Deceit, ac
cording to him, was aa impossibility
in the case of enc trained to observa
tion and analysis. C is conclusions
were 3 miailiDle as so many propo- I
siLioas of LiUcud. bo startling would
his results appear to the'uainitiated
that, until they learned the processes
by which he had arrived at them, they
misrht well consider him a necromancer.
. "From a drop of water," said the
writer, "a logician could infer the pos
sibility of fin Atlantic or a Niagara
without having seen or beard of one or
the Other. So all life is a groat chain,
the nature of which is known whenever
we are shown a single link of it. Like
all other arts, the scieuce of deduction
and analysis is one which can only be
acquired by long and patient stvidy,
nor is life long enough to allow any
mortal to attain the highest possible
perfection in it. Before turning to
those moral and mental aspects of the
matter which present the greatest dif
ficulties, let the inquirer begin by mas
tering more elementary problems. Let
him, on meeting a fellow-mortal, learn
at a glance to distinguish the history
cf the manand the trade or profession
to which he'nelongs. Puerile as such
an exercise may seem, it sharpens the
faculties of observation and teaches
one where to-look and what to look
for. By a man's finger-nails, by his
coat-sleeve, by his boot, by his trouser
knees, by the callosities of. his fore
finger and thumb, by his expression,
by his shirt-cuffs by each of these
things a man's calling is plainly re
vealed. That all united should fail to
enlighten the competent inquirer In
any case is almost inconceivable."
"What ineffable twaddle!" I cried,
slapping, the magazine down on the
table; "I never read such rubbish in
my life."
"What is it?" asked Sherlock Holmes.
"Why, this article," I 6aid, pointing
at it with my egg spoon as I sat down
to my breakfast. "I see that you have
read it, since you have marked it. I
don't deny that it is 6mart$y writ'
ten. It irritate? . me though. It is
evidently the theory of some arm-chair
lounger who evolves all these neat lit
tle paradoxes in the seclusion of his
own study. It is not -practical. I'
should like to see him clapped down in
.a third-class carriage on the Under
ground, and asked to give the trades of
all his fellow travelers. I would lay a
thousand to one against him."
"You woukTlose your money,4 Sher
lock Holmes remarked, calmly. "At
for the article, I wrote It myself."
"Youl" . . x
"Yes, I have a turn both for observa
tion and for deduction. The theories
which I have expressed .there, and
which appear to you , to be so chimeri
cal, are really extremely practical so
practical that I depend upon them for
my bread and cheese.
And how?" -I asked, involuntarily.

I'm a consulting detective If you can
understand what that is. Here in Lon

these fellows are at fault they come to
me, and I manage to put them on the
"right scent."- They lay all the evidence
before me,' and I am generally able, by
the help of my knowledge of the his

"But do you mean to say," I 6aid.

"Quite so. I have a kin4 of intuK

Observation with mo is second nature.
You appeared to be surprised when I
told you, on our first meeting, that you
had come from Afghanistan."
"You were told, no doubt,"
"Nothing of the sort. I knew you
came from Afghanistan. From long
habit the train of thought ran so swift
ly through my mind that I arrived at
the conclusion without being conscious
of intermediate steps. There were
such steps, however." The train of
reasoning ran: 'Here is a gentleman
of a medical typo, but with the air of a
military man. Clearly an army doc
tor, then, ne has just come from the
tropics, for his face is dark, and that
is not the natural tint of his 6kin, for
his wrists are fair, fie has undergone
hardship and sickness, as his haggard
face says clearly. Ilis left arm has
been injured. lie holds it in a stiff
and unnatural manner. Where in the
tropics could an English army doctor
have seen much hardship and got his
arm wounded? Clearly in Afghanis
tan.' The whole train of thought did
cot occupy a second. I then femarkejJ
that you came from Afghanistan, and
you were astonished." x
"It is simple enough as you explain
it," I said, smiling. "You remind me
of Edgar Allan Poe's 'Dupin.' I had '
no idea that 6uch individuals did exist j
Outside of stories." I
Sherlock Holmes rose and lit his !
pipe. "No doulA you think that you j
are complimenting me in compering
me to Dupin," he observed. "Now, in
my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior
fellow. That trick of his of breaking ,
in on his friends' thoughts with an
apropos remark- after a qnarterof an j
hour's silence is really very showy acd
superficial. He had some anali'Vical
genius, no doubt; but he was by no
means ,uch a phenomenon as I'oe ap- j
pearei to imagine." j
"Have you read vjaborian s works?" (
I asked. "Decs Iecoq come up to your
idea of a detective?"' !
Sherlock Holmes sniffed sardonically. ;
"Lecoq was a miserable bungler," he
said, in an angry voice; "he had only
one thing to recommend him, and that
was his energy. That book made me 1
positively ill. The question was how
to identify an unknown prisoner. I
could have done it in twenty-four
hours. Lecoq took six months or so.
It might be made a text-book for de
fectives to teach them what to avoid."
I felt rather indignant at having two
characters whom I had admired treat
ed in this cavalier style. I walked over

to the window, and stoodMooking out
into the busy street. "This feUow
may be very clever," I said to myself,
'but he is certainly very conceited."
"There are no crimes and no crim
inals in these days," he said, querul
ously. "What is the use of having
brains in our profession? I know well
that I have it in me to make my . name
famous. No man lives or has ever
Uved who has brought ther t same
amount of study and of natural talent
to the detection of crime which I hare
done. And what is the result? There
is no crime to detect, or, at most, some
bungling villainy with a motive "so
transparent that even a Scotland Yard
official canee through it."
I was still annoyed at his bumptious
style: of . conversation. I thought It
best to change Vhe topic
"I wonder wl at that feUow is look

. CHAPTER III
TB LATJBrSTO! GUDI MTSTTITT.
I confess that I was considerably
elartltM by this fresh proof of the
practical nature of my companion'
theories. My respect for his power of
analysis increased wondrously. . There
still remained sme lurking cuspicion
in my mind, however; that the whole
thing was a prearrnnged'pisode. in
tended to dazzle me, .though 'what
earthly object he could havo iu taking
me in was past, ray comprehension.
When I looked at him he had finished
reading the note and his eyes had as
sumed the vacant, lack-lustsr expres
sion which showed mental r.bitraotion.
"How in the world did 3-oa deduce
that?" I asked.
"Deduce what?" eaid he, petnlantly.
"Why, that he was a retired 6er
gcaut of marines."
"I have no time for trifles." he re
plied, brusquely. Then, with a smile:
"Excuse my rudeness. Yon broke the
thread of my thoughts; but perhaps it
is as well. So you actually were not
able to see that that man was a scr
geaut of marines?"
"No, indeed."
"It was easier to know it than to ex
plain why I know it. If 3-ou were
asked to prove that two and two made
four, you might find some difficulty,
and yet you are quite sure of tho fact.
Even across the street I could pee a
great blue anchor tattooed on the back
of the fellow s hand. That smacked of
the sea. He had a military carriage,
however, and regulation side-whiskers.
There we have the marine. lie was a
man with some amount of self-importance
and a certain air of command.
You must have observed the way in
which he held his head and swung his
cane. A steady, respectable, middle
aed man, too. on the face of him all
facts which led me to believe that he
had been a sergeant."
"Wonderful;" I ejaculated.
"Coinrno'-iplace," said Holmes,
though I thought from his expression
that he was pleased at my evident sur-pris-j
and admiration. "I said jnst
now that there were no criminals. It
appears that I am wrong look at
thtr
He threw uc over the note
which the commissionaire had brought.
"Why,"" I cried, as I cast my eye
over it, "this is terrible!"
"It does seem to bo a little out of
the common," he remarked, calmly.
"Would you mind reading it to me
aloud?"
This is the letter which. I read to
him:

"Gregson is the smartest of the Scot
land Ynrders," my friend remarked;
"he and Lestradc arc the pick of a bad
lot. They are both quick and ener
getic, but conventional shockingly so.
They have their knives into one
another, too. They are as jealous as a
pair of professional beauties. There
will bo some fun over this case if they
are both put upon the scent."
I was amazed at the calm way in
which he rippled on. "Surely there is
not a moment to be lost," I cried.
"Shall I go and order yoo a cab?"
"I am not sure about whether I shall
go. I am tbe most Incurably lazy
devil that ever stood In shoe leather
that is, when the fit Is on me, for I can
be spry enough at times."
"Why, it Is jast snch a chance as you
have been longing for." 1
"My dear fellow, what does it mat

whole matter, you may be sure that
Oregson, Lestrade & Co. will pocket
all the credit. That comes of being an
unofficial personage."
"But he begs you to help him."
"Yes. He knows that 1 am his su

he would own it to any third person.
However, we may as weU go and have

that an energetic fit had superseded

tbe tfood is not vreater than tie 1
evil there is nothing to com
mend it, and it cbcuid be dis
missed as unworthy of consider
ation. Does courte?y pay ? Really,
there is nothing that f a 3 better,
it is apartof the businessman's
c c I
capital. It matters little bow su- !
perior the goods of a merchant
may be he cannot sell tbem un
less he is courteous to his custom
ers and the general public.
Tbe society man who is want
ing in courtesy will sodu find
himself tabood and relegated to
a circle of which he is the cen
ter and the circumference; a rir
clw too narrow for the admission
of an additional member.
Nowhere is thisquality brought
more into requisition than i" is
in the home. If a ruan would
experience tbe sweets of domes
tic happiuess ho must recoguiz
in bis wife the first lady in the
land, and see In his children
olive plants whose beauty and
fragrance are to adorn and bless
tbe community in which he lives.
I Asa geueral rule the boorish
man will have rude and uncouth
children. lie may gain weaiih,
but his soul will never thrill with
recollections of Home, sweet
Home.
It seems to us that men are
as corteous as they were in
days of our fathers. Tbey
notbeldtoso rigid account
their conduct towards their
lows. The duel is no longer
no:
tbe
ar
for
fel-
re-
cognized in the code of honor;
but the sentiment that forbids it
h1jo puts an injunction upon
words and actions that iu the old
en time meant "coffee, slid pis
tols for two." In this Hay a man
must rise to the advanced plain
of public opinion or forfeit his
claim to be called a gentleman.
We have heard much of late of
Senatorial courtesy, and it
has
sometimes been ridiculed. Any
thing may be abused and per
verted but we trust that the
highest courtesy will always pre
vail in the Seuate, and that Sen
ators will join the statesmen and
the gentlemen in indissoluble
union.
Unequaled as a pain deetroyer.
Mr K D Weiss, Gay Building,
St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I have
lyed your Salvation Oil several
twueBand fiud it unequaled as a
pain destroyer. 1 wastroubled
with pains in my legs and tried
several remedies which did me
no good. I then used Salvation
Oil and tbe results were good."
