gait. 1t accepted. after some heSita-
ton, a lump Of sugar which the old
naturalist handed to me, and, having
thus sealed an alliance, it followed me
to the cab, and made no difficulties
about accompanying me. 1t had just
struck three on the palace clock when
found myself back once more at On
dicherrv lodge. The ex-prize-fghter
McMurdo had, | found. been arrested
as an accessory. and both he and Mr..
Sholto had been marched off to the
station. Two consta bles guarded the
narrow gate, but they allowed me to
pass with the dog on my mentioning
the detectives 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! Athelney Jones has
gone. We have had an immense dis
play of energy since you left. He has
arrested not only friend Thaddeus, but
the gatekeeper. the houselzeeper, and
the Indian servant. We have the place
to ourselves. but for a sergeant upstairs.
Leave the dog here, and come up"
We tied Toby to the hall table, and
reascended the stairs The room was
as we had left it, save that sheet had
been draped over the central figure. A
weary-looking police sergeant reclined
/ in the corner
Lend me your bull's-eye, sergeant" +"
said my companion. Now tie this bit
of card round my neck, so as to hang it
in front of me. Thank you. Now /
must kick off my boots and stockings!
just you carry them down with you,
Watson | am going to do a 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.
Il wish you particularly to notice
these footmarll5, he said. DO you OBJ
serve anything noteworthy about
them?"
They belong" I said ito child or
a small woman"
Apart from their size. though. Is
there anything else?"
They appear to be much as other
footmarlls."
Not at all Lool, herel This is the
print Of a right foot in the dust Now
