Description: Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered; "Mr. Holmes, they were the foot. prints of a gigantic hound!"

These were the words that plunged Sherlock Holmes into the most chal• lenging and baffing case of his ca- reer. At first, in Holmes• familiar Baker Street lodgings. they might well bc dismissed as superstitious nonsense but later. on the desolate windswept moors of Devonshire, the curse of the Hound of the Basker• villes suddenly assumed a sinister and dreadful reality.
