But now came the real difficulty
of the inquiry. The order of the Eng
lish letters after E is by no means
well marked and any preponderance
which may be shown in an average or
a printed sheet may be reversed in

roughly, Il, A. o, /, N, 5, III, X, ID ana
l. are the numerical order in which
letters occur; but L, A, o and L are
very nearly abreast of each other, and
it would be an endless task to try each
combination until a meaning was ar
rived at. 1 therefore waited for fresh
material. In my second interview with
Hilton Cubitt he was able TO give me
two other short sentences and one mes
sage, which appeared-since there was
no fiag-to be a single word Here are
the symbols. Now in the single WORD

had certainly been instantaneous and
painless. There was no powder mark
ing either upon his dressing gown or
on hisshands According to the coun-
try surgeon the lady had stains upon
her face, but none upon her hand.
The absence of the latter means
nothing, though its presence may
mean everything" said Holmes. I'm
less the powder from a badly fitting
cartridge happens to squirt backward
one may fire many shots without leav-
ing sign. l would suggest that Mr..
Cubitt's body may now be removed.
| suppose, doctor, you have not re-
covered the bullet which wounded the
lady?''
"A serious operation will be neces-
sary before that can be done. But
there are still four cartridges in the
revolver. Two have been fired and
two wounds inflicted. SO that each
bullet can be accounted for"
So it would seem," said Holmes.
Perhaps you can account also for the
bullet which has so obviously struck
the edgeAof the window"
He had turned suddenly, and his
long, thinsfinger was pointing to hole
which had been drilled through the
lower window sash, about an inch
above the bottom.

To you. Inspector, the whole incident

all, the interesting circumstances con-

recapitulated the facts which have al

at which one might smile, had they

who invented the system has appar-
emily been to conceal that these char
acters convey message, and to give
the idea that they are the mere ran

Having once recognized, however,
that the symbols stood for letters, and
having applied the rules which guide
US in all forms of secret writings the
solution was easy enough. The first
message submitted to me was so short
that it was impossible for me to do
more than to say, with some conf
dence, that the symbol -
