looked out with three jtiers of vacant,
melancholy windows, which were
tlank and dreary, save that here and
there a "To Let" card had developed
like a cataract upon the bleared panes.
A smau garden spnnKiea over witn a
scattered eruption of sickly plants sep
arated each of these houses from the
street, and was traversed by a narrow
pathway, yellowish in color, and con
sisting apparently of a mixture of clay
and of grav el. The whole place was
very sloppy from the Tain which had
' fallen, through the night. The garden
was funded by a three-foot brick wall
with asV-inge of wood rails upon the top,
and against this wall was leaning a
stalwart police constable, surrounded
by a small knot of loafers, who craned
their necks and strained their eyes in
the vain hope of catching some glimpse
i the proceedings within.
1 had . imagined that Sherlock Holmes
would at once have hurried into the
house And plunged In to a study of the
mystery. Nothing appeared to be far
ther from his intention. With an air
of nonchalance which, under the cir
cumstances, seemed to me to border
upon affectation, he lounged up and
down the pavement, and gazed va
cantly at .the ground, the sky, the op
posite houses, and the line of railings.
"Having finished his scrutiny, he pro
ceeded slowly down the path, or rather
down the fringe of grass which flanked
the" path, keeping his eyes riveted upon
the ground. Twice he stopped, and
once-1 saw him smile and heard him
utter an exclamation of satisfaction.
There were many marks of footsteps
upon the wet, clayey soil, but since the
police had been coming and going over
it, I was unable to see how my com
panion could hope to leaxn anything
from it. Sill, I had such extraordi
nary evidence of the quickness of his
perceptive faculties that I had no doubt
that he could see a great deal which
was hidden from me..
At the door of " the 5 house we were
met by a tall, white-faced, flaxen
haired man, with a note-book in his
hand, who rushed forward and wrung
my companion'sNhand with effusion.
"It is indeed kind of you to come," he
said; "I have had everything left un
touched."
"Except that!" my friend answered,
pointing to the pathway. "If a herd
of buffaloes had passed along there
could not be a- greater mess.' No
doubt, however, you had drawn your
own conclusions, Gregson, before you
permitted this."
"I have had so much to' do inside
the house," the detective said, evasive
ly. "My colleague, Mr. Lestrade,is
here. "I had relied upon him to look
after this." " . C"
Holmes glanced at me, ana- raised
his'eyes sardonically. - "With two such
men as yourself and -Lestrade upon the
ground, there will not .be much for
third party to find out," he said. "
Gregson rubbed his hands in: a self-
satisfied way. "I think we have done
all that can be done," he answered;
"It's a queer case, though, and I knew
your taste for such things." ;
-"Ton did not come here in a cab?"
asked Sherlock Holmes.
"No, sir." . x

mark he strode 6n into the house, fol

pressed his astonishment.
. A shcrtpassage, :bare planked and
dusty, led to -the kitchen and-offlces.".
Two doors opened out of jt to the left
and to the 'right. One of these had ob-.
Lviously been elosed for. many weeks.
The other belonged to the dining-room,
which was the apartment In which the
rysterious affair had occurred. Holmes
walked; in, and :Ii followed "him 'with
that subdued feeling at my heart which
the presence of death inspires. ." - -
- It was a large, square room, looking
all the largerifor the absence of all

in places with : mildew, and here and
there great strips had becdme detached

-All these details I observed - after-"
ward.' At present mv' attention ' was
centered upon the single grim, motion
less figure - which lay .stretched -upon
the boards with vacant, sightless eyes
staring. up at the discolored ceiling.
It was that of a man about forty-three
or;-, iorty-f our years - of age, . middle-
sized, broad-shouldered, - with crisp;
curling black hir and a short stub
bly beardv He was dressed in a heavy
broadcloth frock coat and waistcoat,
witJti lights colored trousers and 1 im
maculate collar and: cuffs. A too-hat,
well brushed and trim, was placed
upon the floor beside Jum. , IIis hands
were clinched and : his arms thrown
abroad, while his lower limbs wjere in
terlocked as though his death-struggle
-had been a grievous ane.,'On' his rigid
face there stood an expression ox. hor
ror and, asitseemed.to me; of hatred,"
such as I have never seen upon human
features. -This malignant and terrible
contortion, combined with the low
forehead,1 blunt nose and prognathous
jaw, gave the dead man a singularly
simious and ape-like appearance, which
was increased by his writhing, unnat
ural posture. I have seen death lit
Lmany formsrbut- never has it appeared
to me in & more fearsome aspect than
in that dark, grimy apartment, which
looked out upon one of the main arte
ries of suburban London.
Lestrade, lean and ferret-like as
ever, was standing by the doorway,
and greeted my companion and myself.
"This case- will make a stir, sir," he
remarked. "It beats any thing I have
seen, and I am no chicken.9
"There is no clew," 6aid Gregson.
"None at all," chimed in Lestrade.
- Sherlock Holmes approached the
body, and, kneeling down, examined
it intently. "You are sure that there
is no wound?" he asked, pointing to
numerous gouts and splashes of blood
which lay all round.
."Positive!" cried both detectives.
, "Then, of course, this blood belongs
to a second' individual presumably
the murderer, if murder has been com
mitted. It reminds me of the circum
stances attendant on the death of Van
Jansen, in Utrecht, in the year 1834.
Do you remember the case, Gregson?"
"No, sir."
"Read it up you really should.
There is nothing new under the sun.
It has all been done before."
As he spoke, his nimble fingers were
flying here, there and everywhere,
feeling, pressing, unbuttoning, exam
ining, while his eyes wore the same
far-away expression which I have al
ready remarked upon. So swiftly was
. the examination made that one would
hardlyShave guessed the minuteness,
with which it was conducted. Finally,
he sniffed the dead min's lips, and then
glanced at the soles of his patent
leather boots. . "
"He has not been moved at all?" he
asked.
"No more than was necessary for the
purpose of our examination." j
"You can take him to tha mortuary
now," he said. "There is nothing more
to be learned."
Gregson had a stretcher and four
men at hand. At-his Cill thoy entered
the room, and the stranger was lifted
and carried out. As they raised him,

a ring tinkled down and rolled across
thefloor. Lestrade grabbed it up and
starednat it with mystified eyes.
"There's Jbeen a woman here," be
cried. "It's a woman's wedding-ring."
He held it out, as he spoke, upon the
palm of hia.. hand. We all gathered
round him and crazed at it. There could
be no doubt that that cirekVbf plain
gold had once adorned the finger of a
bride. . 1 . - ?
"This- complicates matters," said
Gregson. "Heaven knows, they were
complicated enough before!"
"You're jsure it" . i doesn't simplify
rthem?" observed Holmes. 'There's
nothing to be learned by staring at it.
What did you find In his pockets?"
."We hare it all here," eaid Gregson,
pointing to a titter of objects upon one
of the bottom steps of- the stairs. : : "A

portance, and one which would have
been overlooked had I not made a care
ful examination of the walls."
The little man's eyes sparkled as he
spoke, and he was evidently in a state
of suppressed exultation at having
scored a point against his colleague.
"Come here," he said, bustling back
into the room; the atmosphere of
which felt cleaner since the removalol
its ghastly inmate. "Now stand there!"
He struck a match on his boot and
held it op against the walL
"Look at that!" he said, triumphantly-
I have remarked that the paper had
fallen away in those parts. In this
particular corner of the room a large
piece had peeled off, leaving a yellow
square of coarse plastering. . Across
this bare space there was scrawled in
blood-red letters a single worth
----- "SACHK."
"What do you think of that?" cried
the detective, with the air f a show
man exhibiting his show. "This was
overlooked because it was in the dark
est corner of the room, and no one
thought of "looking there. The mur
derer haswritten 'it with his or her
own blood. See this smear where it
has. trickled down the wall! That dis

Why was that corner chosen to write
it on? I will tell you. See that candle
on the mantel piece. It. was lit at
the time, and if it was lit this corner
would be the brightest instead of theJ
darkest portion of the wall."
"And what does it mean, now that
you have found it?", asked Gregson, in
a deprecatory voice.
"Mean? Why, it means that the
writer was going to put the female
name Bachel, but was disturbed be
fore he or she had time to finish. You
mark my words, whensHGis case cornea
to be cleared up you will find that a
woman named Rachel has something
to do with it. It's, all very well for
you to laugh, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

the old hound is best, when all is said
and done." '"-;.,
"I really beg your pardon rvseid my
companion, who had ruffled. the little
man's temper by- bursting Into an ex
plosion of laughter. "You -certainly
have the credit of being the first of us
to find this out: and, as you say, it
bears every mark of ' having been
written by the other participant in

had time to examine this' room yet.
but with your permission I shall do so
now."
As he spoke he whipped a tape

two instruments he trotted noiselessly
about the room, sometimes v stopping

drawn by a horse with three old shoes
and one new one on his off fore-leg.
In all probability the murderer had

right hand were remarkably long,

each other with an incredulous smile.
' If this man was murdered, how
was it done?" asked the former.

CHAPTER IV.
WHAT SOBS BAKCB BAD TO TS1X
It was one o'clock when we left No.
3 Launston gardens. Sherlock Holmes
led me to the nearest telegraph office,
whence he dispatched a long telegram.
He thea hailed a cab. and ordered the
driver to lake us to the address given
us by Lestrade- '
There Is nothing like first-hand evi
dence," he remarked; "as a matter of
fact, my mind is entirely made up
upon the case, but still we msy as well
learn all that is to be learned."
"You amaze me. Holmes," said I.
"Surely you are not as sure as you pre
tend to bo of all those particulars
which you gave."
"There's no room -for a mistake," he '
answered. "The very first thing
which I observed on arriving there
was that a cab had made two rats with
its wheels close to the rb- Now,"trp
to last night, we have had no rain for
a week, so that those wheels, which
left such a deep impression, must have
been there during the night. There
were the marks of the horve's hoofs,
too, the outline of - one of which wss
far more clearly cut than that ol the
other three, showing that tht was a
new shoe. Since the cab was there
after the rain began, and was not
there at any time daring the morning
I have Greg-son's word for that it
follows that It must have been there
during the night, and. therefore, that
it brought those two individuals to the
house.? ,
"That seems simple enough," said f ;
but how about the other man's
height?" "
"Why, the height of a msn, in nine
eases out of ten, can be told from the
length of his stride. It is a simple
calculation enough though there is no
use my boring you,, with figures. I
had this fellow's stride, both on the
clay outside and on the dust within
Then I had a way of checking my cal
culation. When a man writes on a
wall, his -instinct leads him to write
about the level of his own eyes. Now,
that writing was just over . six feet
from the ground. It was child's play."
"And his age?" I asked.
"Well, if a man can stride four and
a half feet without the smallest effort.
