"The doctor left, and determined 70
give the man another chance with pen
and paper. 1 felt pretty certain that IL he
were allowed to scribble and sketch as he
pleased, sooner or later he would do
something that would give me some sort
of hint. left him entirely alone and
let him do as he pleased. But watched.
"After all the futile scribble which
you have seen he began TO sketch. First
a mans head then a chair--just what he
might happen TO see in the room. Pres
emily nc took to the piece OF paper you
have before you. He observed that clock
and began to sketch IL. Then went on to
the other things, such as you see, scrib-
bling idly over most of them when
finished. Then he had made the last of the
sketches, he made a hasty scrawl OF his
pen over il and broke down-it had
brought his terror to his mind again
somehow.
~ seized the paper and examined II
closely. Now just see. Ignore the clock,
which was merely a sketch of n thing be-
fore him, and look at the three things fol-
lowing. What are they7 A horseshoe,

cant you ,hdI think .s Of something those three
/ could think OF nothing whatever, and
i confessed as much.
"Think now, Tottenham Court road"

never struck me. There's the Horseshoe
Hotel, with the sign outside; there's the
large toy and fancy shop halfway up,
where they have a captive balloon
moored TO the roof as q advertise
ment; and there's the tobacco and
snuff shop on the left toward the
other end where they have a life-size
wooden Highlander at the door--an un-
common thing, indeed, nowadays."
"You are right. The curious conjunction
struck me at once. There they are, all
three and just in the order in which one
meets them going up from Oxford street.
Also, as IL to confirm the conjecture,
note the dotted horseshoe. Don't you
remember that at night the Horseshoe
Hotel is illuminated by two rows OF gas
lights? Now, here was my clue at last.
