Miss Morstan entered the room with
q firm step and an outward composure
of manner. She was q: blonde: young
lady, small, dainty well gloved., and
dressed in the most perfect taste.
There was, however, q plainess and
simplicity about her costume which
bore with it a suggestion Of limited
means. The dress was a, somber gray

and she wore a small turban Of the.

picion of white feather in the side, Her

hardly keep from smiling at his crest

the case to and handed it back.

marked. "The watch has been recent

my heart accused my companion
of putting forward q most lame and
impotent excuse to cover his failure.
What data could he expect from an un-
cleaned watch?
Though unsatisfactory my research
has not been entirely barren he OBJ
served, staring up at the ceiling with
dreamy, lack-luster eyes. "subject to

remember right. been dead many years.

chuckling at my surprise--''so absurd

fuous; and yetit may serve to define the

Observation tells me that you have

pavement and thrown up some earth
which lies in such way that it Is diff
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 theaneighborhood. So
much is observation. The rest is de-
duction."

piled, after little thought 1.-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?"
ION the contrary he answered, "it
would prevent me from taking a Sec

lighted to look into any problem which
you might submit to me-
.'tI have heard you say that it is diff
cult for a man to have any object in

of his individuality upon it in such
way that trained observer might
read it. Now, I have here watch
which has recently come into my pos
session. Would you have the kindness
to let me have an opinion upon the
character or habits Of the late owner?"
handed him over the watch, with
some slight feeling Of amusement in
my heart, for the test was, as I thought,
an impossible one, and intended it as
lesson against the somewhat dog
matte tone which he occasionally as
sumed. He balanced the watch in his
hand, gazed hard at the dial, opened

ing habit-destructive ito the; logical
faculty. What seems strange to you is
only SO because you do rot follow my
train OF thought or observe the small
facts upon which large inferehces 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 iscut
and marked all over from the. habit OF
keeping other hard objects, such as
coins or keys, in the same pocket

Neither is it. q very far-fetdhed infer:
ence that a man who inherits one ar

I nodded to show that I followed his
reasoning.
s'It is very customary for pawn
brokers in England, when they take 9
watch, to scratch the number of the
ticket with a pin point upon the inside
of the case. 1t is more handy than the
label, as there is no risk Of the number
being lost or transposed. There are no
less than four such numbers visible to
my lens on the inside Of this case. .In-
ference-that your brother, was often

at the inner plate, which contains the
key-hole. Look at the thousands Of
scratches all round the hole-marks
where the key has slipped. What sober
mans key could have scored those
grooves? But you will never see a
drunkard's watch without them. He
winds it at night, and he leaves these
traces of his unsteady hand. Where Is
