handsomely mounted in solid gold. and
it is inconceivable that any one who
wore such glasses could be slatternly

the clips are too wide for your nose,
showing that the lady's nose was very
broad at the base. This sort of nose
is usually short and coarse one, but
there is SUFFICIENT number of excep-
tons to prevent me from being dog
matte or from insisting upon this
point in my description: My own face

Yes said, It can follow each OF
your arguments. I confess, however,
that l am unable to understand how

Holmes took the glasses in mis- hand.
You will perceive" he said, thai
the clips are lined with tiny bands of
cork to soften the pressure upon the

and worn to some slight extent, but
The other is new. Evidently one has

drawers were open, the. cupboard
locked. The drawers, 1t seems, were
always open, and nothing Of value was
kept in them. There were some pa.
pers of importance in the cupboard,
but there were no signs that this had
been tempered with, and the Professor
assures me that nothing was missing.
1t is certain that no robbery has been
committed. ~
I come now to the body of the
young man. 1t was found near the
bureau, and just to the left of it, as
marked upon that chart. The stab
was on the right side Of the neck and
from behind forwards, so that 1t is
almost impossible that it could have
been self-inflicted."
UNLESS he fell upon the knife -
said Holmes.
Exactly. The idea crossed my
mind But we found the knife some
feet away from the body, so that
seems impossible Then, of course,
there are the mans own dying words.
And, finally, there was this very i'm.
portant piece of evidence which was
found clasped in the dead mans right
hand"

drew a small paper packet. He I'm.
folded it and disclosed a golden pince-
neZ, with two broken ends of black
silk cord dangling from the end of it.
"Willoughby Smith had excellent
sight" he added. There can be no
question that this was snatched from
the face or the person of the assassin. -

the utmost attention and interest. He
neld them on his nose, endeavored to
read through them. went to the win
dow and stared up the street with
them, looked at them most infinitely in
the full light of the lamp, and finally,
with chuckle, seated himself at the
table and wrote few lines upon a
sheet of paper, which he tossed across
to Stanley Hopkins.
That's the best l can do for you,
said he. 1t may prove to be of
some use"
The astonished detective real the
note aloud. 1t ran as follows
Wanted, a woman Of good address,
attired like lady. She has re-
markedly thick nose, with eyes which
are set close upon either side of 1T.
She has a puckered forehead, peer
ing expression. and probably rounded
shoulders. There are indications that
she has had recourse to an optician at
least twice during the last few months.
AS her glasses are of remarkable
strength, and as opticians are not very
numerous, there should be no difficulty
in tracing her"
Holmes smiled at the establishment
of Hopkins, which must have been re-
fected upon my features.

must ask you first. Mr.. Holmes, to
glance at this rough plan, which will
give you general idea OF the position
OF the Professors study and the vari-
Gus points of the case. 1t will help
YOU in following my investigation ="
Z He unfolded the rough chart and he
laid it across Holiness knee l rose.
and. standing behind Holmes, studied
II over his shoulder 80
1t is very rough, of course, and it
only deals with the points which seem
TO me to be essential. All the rest you
will see later for yourself. Now. first
of all, presuming that the assassin en-
terel the house, how did he or she
come in? Undoubtedly by the garden
path and the back door. from which
there is direct access to the study.
Any other way would have been ex-
eeedingly complicated. The escape
must have also been made along that
line, for of the two other exits from
the room one was blocked by Susan,
as she ran down stairs and the other
leads straight TO the Professors bed
rom. l therefore directed my atten-
ton at once to the garden path. which
was saturated with recent rain and
would certainly show any footmarks.
My examination showed me that
was dealing with "a cautious and ex-
pert criminal. No footmarks were to
be found on the path. There could be
no question, however, that some one
had passed along the grass border
which lines the path, and that he had
done so in order to avoid leaving a
track. could not find anything in
the nature of a distinct impression.
but the grass was trodden down and
some one had undoubtedly passed. II
could only have been the murderer,
since neither the gardener nor any
one else had been there that morning
and the rain had only begun during
the night"
One moment" said Holmes. Where
does this path lead to-"
To the road"
How long is it,"
"A hundred yards or So"
AT the point where the path passes
through the gate, you could surely
pick UP the tracks"
Unfortunately, the path was tiled
at this point"
We'll, on the road ITSELF"
mo it was all trodden into mire. "
'"Tut-tut: Wei, then these tracks
upon the grass, were tney coming or
going?"
ut was impossible to say. There was
never any outline.
"A large foot or small?"
You could not distinguish"
Holmes gave an ejaculation of impa-
thence
1T has been pouring rain and blow
ing a hurricane ever since" said he.
1T will be harder to read now than
that palimpsesr. Well, we'll. it cant
be helped. What did you do, Hopkins,
efter you had made certain that you
had made certain of nothing?"
il i think I made certain of a good
deal, Mr.. Holmes. l knew that some
one had entered the house cautiously
from without. l next examined the
corridor. 1t is lined with coccoanut
mating. and had taken no impression
of any kind. This brought me into
the study itself 1t is scantily fur
