book and refreshed his memory from its pages.
 'srhe first case reported was four days ago." said he. Tt was at the shop of Morse Hudson. who has place for the sale of pictures and stat ues in the Remington road The as- sistant had left the front shop for an instant when be heard a crash, and. hurrying in. he found a plaster bust of Napoleon, which stood with several other works of art upon the counter. lying shlvered into fra gnents. He rushed out into the road: but, although several passersby declared that they had noticed a man run out of the shop. be could neither see any one nor could he find any means of identifying the rascal It seemed to he one of those senseless acts of Hooliganism which occur from time to time. and it was re- ported to the constable on the beat as such. The plaster cast was not worth more than a few shlllings. and the whole affair appeared to be too child ish for any particular investigation.
 The second case, however. was more serious and also more singular. It oc- cured only last night
 "In Remington road and within a few hundred yards of Morse Hudson's shop there lives q well known medical practitioner named Dr. Barnicot, who has one of the largest practices upon the south side of the Thames. Ills res idenee and principal consulting room is at Remington road. but he has a branch surgery and dispenssry at Low CT Bri1ton road. two miles away. This Dr. Barnicot is an enthusiastic admir- CT of Napoleon. and his house is full of books. pictures and relics of the French emperor Some little time ago he purchased from Morse Hudson tue duplicate plaster casts of the famous head of Napoleon by the French sculp- tor Devine. One of these he placed in his hall in the house at Remington road and the other on the mantelpiece of the surgery at Lower BrixtO1. Well. when Dr. Barnicot came down this morning he was astonished to find that his house had been Durgled dur ing the night. but that nothing had been taken save the plaster head from the hall It had been carried out and had been dashed savageiy against the garden wall. under which it's splinter cd fragments were discovered"

 "Very good" said Lestrade.
 If you are going back to Pitt street you might see Mr Horace Harker. Tell him for me that I have quite made up my mind and that it is certain that a dangerous homicidal lunatic with Ma poleonic delusions was in his house last night. It will be useful for his article"
 Lestrade stared.
 You don't seriously believe that?"
 Holmes smiled. lt
 Don't I? We'll. perhaps I don't. but am sure that it will interest MT. Horace Harker and the subscribers of the Central Press syndicate. Now, Watson, think that we shall find that we have long and rather complex days work before us. I should he glad, Lestrade, if you could make it convenient to meet us at Baker street at o'clock this evening. Until then should like to keep this protograpf found in the dead mans pocket It Is possible that I may have to ask your company and assistance upon a small expedition which will have to be un- dertaken tonight if my chain of req soning should prove to be correct.

We'll, I was the only journalist in the stand and my journal the only one that had no account of it, for I was too shaken to write it. And now I'll be too late with murder done on my own door, step"
 As we left the room we heard his pen travelling shrilly over the foolscap.
 The spot where the fragments of the bust had been found was only few hundred yards away. For the first time our eyes rested upon this presentment of the great emperor, which seemed to raise such frantic and destructive ha-- tired in the mind of the unk known. It lay scattered in splintered shards upon the grass. Holmes picked up several of them and examined them carefully. was convinced from his intent face and his purposeful manner that at last he was upon clew.
 "WellT' asked Lestrade.
 Holmes shrugged his shoulders.
 We have long way to go yet" said he. And yet-and yet-well. we have some suggestive facts to act upon. The possession of this triiing bust was worth more in the eyes of this strange criminal than human life. That is one point. Then there is the singular fact that he did not break 1t In the house or immediately outside the house. if to break 1t was hts sole ob- ject."
 "He was rattled and hustled by meet ing this other fellow. He hardly knew what he was doing"
 "well. that's likely enough. but I wish to call your attention very partic- ularly to the position of this house In the garden of which the bust was de- stroyed."
 Iestrade looked about him.
 'Tt was an empty house. and so he knew that he would not be disturbed fin the garden"
 ''Yes, but there is another empty house farther up the street. which he must have passed before he came to this one Why did he not break It there. since it is evident that every yard that he carried 1t increased the risk of some one meeting himT
 T give it up.- said Lestrade.
 Holmes pointed to the street lamp above our heads.
 He could see what he WAS doing here. and he could not there. That was his reason"
 By love. that's true" said the de tective. Now that come to think of it. pr. Barnicot's bust was broken not far from his red lamp. Well. Mir. Holmes. what are we to do with that facty'
 "To remember ito docket it We may come on something later which will bear upon 1t What steps do you propose to take now. LestradeY
 The most practical way of getting at if. in my opinion. Is to Identify the dead man. There should be no difii- culty about that When we have found who he is and who his associates are ve should have c good start fn learning what he was doing In Pitt street last night and who if ras who met him and killed him on the doorstep of Mir.

that the window hadT been opened in the night and that the broken pieces of his second bust were strewn all over the room. It had been smashed to atoms where 1t stood. In neither case were there any signs which could give us a clew as to the criminal or lunatic who had done the mischief. Now, Mfr. Holmes. you have got the facts"
 "They are singular. not to say gro tesque," said Holmes. May I ask whether the two busts smashed in Dr. Rarnicot's rooms were the exact du- plicates of the one which was destroy ed fin Morse Hudson's shop?'
 "They were taken from the same mold" ..-t....
 "Such a fact must tell against the theory that the man who breaks them Is influenced by any general hatred of Napoleon. Considering how many hundreds of statues of the great em. peror must exist in London. it is too much to suppose such coincidence as that a promiscuous iconoclast should chance to begin upon three specimens of the same bust"
 Well. I thought as you do." said Lestrade. ''On the other hand, this Morse Hudson Is the purveyor of busts in that part of London. and these three were the only ones which had been in his shop for years. So. although. as you say. there are many hundreds of statues In London. 1t is very probable that these three were the only ones in that district. Therefore a local fanatic would begin with them. What do you think. pr. WatsonT'
 There are no limits to the possibil- ities of monomania," I answered. ''There Is the condition which the mod ern French psychologists have called the 'idee ike which may he trifling ir character and accompanied by com plete sanity in every other way. A man who had read deeply about Napo- leon or who had possibly received some hereditary family injury through the great WET might concelvably form such an fdee ike and under It's infiu- ence be capable of any fantastic out rage"
 That won't do. my dear Watson" said Holmes. shaking his head. flor no amount of .idee ike would enable your interesting monomaniac to find out where these busts were situated.-
 Well. how do you explain itT'
 q don't attempt to do so. I would only observe that there Is a certain method in the gertlernan's eccentric proceedings. For example. in Dr. Bar nicot's hall. where a sound might arouse the family. the bust was taken outside before being broken. whereas in the surgery. where there was less danger of an alarm. it was smashed where if stood The affair seems ab- sursiiy trifing. and ret dare call noth- ing trivial when I reflect that some of my most classic cases have had the least promising commencement You will remember.

Then sud denly, about five minutes later, there came a most horrible yell-the most dreadful sound, Mfr Holmes. that ever I heard. It will ring in my ears as long as I live. I sat frozen with hor- TOT for minute or two: then seized the poker and went downstairs. When I entered this room found the win dow wide open, and at once observed that the bust was gone from the man. telpiece. Why any burglar should take such thing passes my understand ing, for it was only plaster cast and of no real value whatever.
 You can see for yourself that any one going out through that open win dow could reach the front doorstep by taking long stride. This was clearly what the burglar had done, so I went round and opened the door. Stepping out into the dark, nearly fell over dead man who was lying there. I ran back for a light, and there was the poor fellow, great gash In his throat and the whole place swimming in blood. He lay on his back. his knees drawn up and his mouth horribly open. shall see him in my dreams. I had just time to blow on my police whistle. and then I must have tainted, for I knew nothing more until I found the policeman standing over me in the hall"
 Well. who was the murdered man?" asked Holmes.
 There's nothing to show who he was." said Lestrade. You shall see the body at the mortuary. but we have made nothing of 1t up to now. He is a tall man, sunburned, very powerful, not more than thirty. He is poorly dressed, and yet does not appear to be a laborer. A horn handled clasp knife was lying in a pool of blood be- side him. Whether it was the weapon which did the deed or whetbc- t be longed to the dead man I do not know. There was no name on his clothing and nothing in his pockets save an apple, some string. shilling map of London and photograph. Here it is"
 It was evidently taken by snapshot from a small camera. It represented an alert. sharp featured simian man. with thick eyebrows and a very pc culiar projection of the lower part of the face. like the muzzle of a baboon.
