On this particular evening, Lestrade
had spoken of the weather and the
newspapers. Then he had fallen silent,
putting thoughtfully at his cigar.
Holmes looked keenly at him.
Anything remarkable ON hand ?"
he asked.
20, no, Mr.. Holmes-nothing very
particular
Then tell me about it,"
Lestrade laughed.
We'll Mr.. Holmes, there is no use
deying that there is something on my
mind. And yet it is such an absurd

modern French psychologists have
called the 'idee fixe,' which may be
trifling in character. and accompanied
by complete sanity in every other way.
A man who mad read deeply about Ma
poleon, or who had possibly received
some hereditary family injury through
the great war. might conceivably form
such an idee fiXe' and under it's in
fluence be capable of any fantastic out
rage"
THAT won't do, my dear Watson, .
said Holmes, shaking his head, for
no amount of 'idee fixe' would enable
your interesting monomaniac to find
out where these busts were situated"
''Well, how do you explain it 3s
II don't attempt to do so. l would
only observe that there is a certain
method in the gentleman's eccentric
proceedings. For example, in DR..
Barnicot'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 it stood. The affair seems alb
surdly triffling, and yet L dare call
nothing trivial when [ reflect that
some of my most classic cases have
had the least promising commence
ment. You will remember, Watson,
how the dreadful business of the
Abernethy family was first brought to
my notice by the depth which the
parsley had sunk into the butter upon
a hot day. | can't afford, therefore,
to smile at your three broken busts,
Lestrade, and I shall be very much
obliged to you if you will let me hear
of any fresh development of so singu-
lar a chain of events"
The development for which my
friend had asked came in Il quicker
and an infinitely more tragic form
than he could have imagined. I was
morning. when there was a tap at
the door and Holmes entered. tele-
gram in his hand. He read it aloud -
"Come instantly, 131, Pitt Street,

What is it. them" l asked.
Don't know-may be anything. But

about it."
The official received us Y 18th very

kempt and agitated elderly man, clad
in u flannel dressing gown, was pac-

Syndicate.

it is trivial, it is undoubtedly queer

Madness, anyhow. And a queer
madness. too. You wouldn't think
there was anyone living at this time of
day who had such q hatred of Napol-
con the First that he would break any
image of him that he could see.''
Holmes sank back in the chair
That's no bushes of mine," said he.
Exactly. That's what / said. But
then, when the man commits burglary
in order to break images that are not
his own, that brings it away from the
doctor and on to the policeman.
Holmes sat up again.
Burglary This is more interest
ing. Let me hear the Details
Legtrade took out his official note
book, and refreshed his memory from
its pages.
1.-The first case reported was four
days ago" said he. ut was at the
shop of Morse Hudson, who has q
place for the sale of pictures and stat
ues in the Remington Road. The
assistant had left the front shop for an
instant, when he heard a crash, and
hurrying in ne found a plaster bust of
Napoleon, which stood with several
other works of art upon the counter.
lying shivered in fragments. He rush
ed out into the road, but, although
several passers-by declared that they
had noticed a man run out of the
shop, he could neither see anyone nor
could he find any means of identifying
the rascal. It seemed to be one of
those senseless acts of Hooliganism
m nd
it was reported to the constable on the
beat as such. The plaster cast was not
worth more than a few shillings, and
the whole affair appeared to be too
childish for any particular investiga-
ton.
1.-The second case, however. was
more singular. 1t occurred only last
night.
I'm Remington Road, and within a
few hundred yards of Morse Hudsop's
shop, there lives a well-known med
zeal practitioner, named DR.. Baricot
who has one of the largest practices
on the south side of the Thames. His
residence and principal consulting
room is at the Remington Road, but he
has a branch surgery and dispensary
at Lower Brixton Road, two miles
away This Dr. Barnicot is an enthu-
Sastic admirer of Napoleon, and his
house is full of books, pictures, and
relics or the Erench emperor. some
little time ago he purchased from
Morse Hudson two duplicate plaster
casts of the famous head of Napoleon
by the French sculptor, Devine. One
of these he had placed in his hall in
the Remington Road, and the other OF,
the mantelpiece of the surgery at
Lower Brixton. Well, when DR.. Bar
nicot came down this morning he was
astonished to find that his house had
been burgled during the night. but
that nothing had been taken save the
plaster head from the hall. 1t had
been carried out and had been dashed
savagely against the garden wall, UNI
der which its splintered fragments
were discovered"
Holmes rubbed his hands.
This is. certainly very novel," said
he.
IT thought it would please you. But

Barnicot was due at his surgery at

81 petersburg, Feb, THE retire

IN health being assigned as the reason

,or OF the Interior M. Bouligan, for

ihe committee Of ministers.
Prince syiatopolk- Mrsky's desire TO
retire had been known for weeks, but
tbe manner IN which It was announced
was unusual, the retirement OF minis
Ter being generally accompanied by an
imperial rescrpt. For this reason the
form of the announcement Is popularity
iccepted as a reprimand. Among the
ntreme reactionarles and even among

lives, Prince SyIatopolk-Mirsky has
been blamed for having from the very
outset Of his career encouraged all sorts
Of liberal aspirations which, being inn
possible OF immediate realization,
