Their cumulative effect is certainly
considerable, and yet each of them is
quite possible in itself. The most unu-
sual thing of all, as it seems to me, is
that the lady should be tied to the
chair"
"Well, I am not so clear about that,
Watson, for it is evident that they
must either kill her or else secure her
in such a way that she could not give

as a squirrel, deXterous with his fin

for this whole ingenious story is of his
connection. Yes, Watson, we have
come upon the handiwork of very re-
markable individual. And yet, in that
bell rope he has given us a clew which
should not have left us doubt"
Where was the clew?'
"Well, if you We're to pull down a
bell rope, Watson, where would you
expect it to break? Surely at the spot
where it is attached to the wire. Why
should it break three inches from the
top, as this one has done"

Exactly. This end, which we can
examine, is frayed. He was cunning

down upon him again, and his knitted

that his thoughts had gone back once

ticed that fact. What does that Sug-
gest to your mindY'
1.-The last glass filled would be most
likely to contain beeswing"
Not at all The bottle was full Of
it, and it is inconceivable that the first
two glasses We're clear and the third
heavily charged with it. There are two
possible explanations, and only two.
One is that after the second glass was
filled the bottle was violently agitated,
and so the third glass received the
beeswing. That does not appear prob
able. No, no, am sure that I am
right"
What, then, do you SUPPOSED"
THAT only two glasses were used and
that the dregs of both were poured into
third glass, so as to give the false i'm
preston that three people had been
here. In that way all the beeswing
would be in the last glass, would it
not? Yes, am convinced that this Is
so. But If have hit upon the true ex-
PLANTATION Of this one small phenom-
enon then in an instant the case rises
from the commonplace to the exceed
ingly remarkable, for it can only mean
that Lady Brackenstall and her maid
have deliberately lied to us, that not
one word of their story is to be be-
lieved, that they have some very strong
reason for covering the real criminal
and that we must construct our case
for ourselves without any help from
them. That is the mission which now
lies before us, and here, Watson, is the
Sydenham train"

his head hung the few inches of red
cord which were still attached to the

get nearer to it he rested his knee upon

brought his hand within few inches
of the broken end Of the rope, but it
was not this so much as the bracket
itself which seemed to engage his at
tention. Finally he sprang down with
an ejaculation of satisfaction.
