larger room, in which two boys We're
sleeping These boys saw and heard
nothing, SO that it is certain that young
Satire did not pass out that way. His
window was open, and there IS stout
Ivy plant leading to the ground. We
could trace no footmarks below, but it
is sure that this is the only possible
exit.
"His absence was discovered at z
O'Clock on Tuesday morning. His bed
had been slept in. lie had dressed him
self fully before going off in his usual
school suit of black Elton Jacket and
dark gray trousers. There were no
signs that any one had entered the
room, and 1t is quite certain that any
thing in the nature Of cries or strug-
gle would have been heard, since Caun-
ter, the elder boy in the inner room, Is
a very light sleeper.
when Lord Saltires disappearance
was discovered, I at once called a roll
Of the whole establishment-boys, mas
tiers and servants. 1t was then that we
ascertained that Lord Satire had not
been alone in his fight Heidegger, the
German master, was missing. His
room was on the second floor at the
farther end Of the building, facing the
same way as Lord Saltire's. His bed
had also been slept in, but he had APP
parently gone away partly dressed,
since his shirt and socks were lying
on the floor. He had undoubtedly let
himself down by the ivy, for we could
see the marks of his feet where he had
landed on the lawn. His bicycle was
kept in small shed beside this lawn,
and it was also gone.
t'ue had been with me for two
years and came with the best refer
ences. but he was a silent, morose
man, not very popular either with
masters or boys. No trace could be
found Of the fugitives, and now, on
Thursday morning, we are as tgno-
rant as we were OH Tuesday. Inquiry
was, of course, made at once at Holder
nesse Hall. 1t is only few miles
away, and we imagined that in some
sudden attack of Inconsistencies the boy
had gone back to his father, but nothing
had been heard of him. The duke is
greatly agitated, and as to me-you
have seen yourselves the state Of
nervous prostration to which the sus-
pense and the responsibility have re-
duced me. Mr. Holmes, if ever you
put forward your full powers l inn
plore you to do SO now, for never IN
your life could you have case which
is more worthy of them"
Sherlock Holmes had listened with
the utmost intentness to the statement
of the unhappy schoolmaster. His
drawn brows and the deep furrow be-
tween them showed that he needed no
exhortation to concentrate all his, at
tention upon problem which, apart
from the tremendous interests involved,
must appeal SO directly to his love OF
the complex and the unusual. He now
drew out his notebook and jotted
down one or two memoranda.
