C H A P T E R V.
Our Advertisem ent Brings a Visitor.
Our morning’s exertions had been
too much fo r .my weak health, and I
was tired7 out In the afternoon.
A fte r H olm es’ departure for the con­
c e r t I lay down upon the sofa and en­
deavored to get a couple o f hours'
sleep. It was a useless attempt.
M y mind had been so much excited
■ v e ry tim e that I closed my eyes I
saw before me the distorted, baboon­
like countenance o f the murdered man.
So sinister was the Impression which
that face produced upon me that I
found It difficult to feel anything but
gratitude for him who had rem oved Its
owner from the world.
I f ev e r human features bespoke vice
o f the most malignant type they w ere
certainly those o f Enoch J. Drebber, o f
Cleveland.
Still, I recognised that justice must
be done, and that the depravity o f the
victim was no condonement In the eyes
o f the law.
The more I thought o f It the more
extraordinary did my companion’s hy­
pothesis. that the man had been poi­
soned. appear.
I remembered how he had sniffed bis
lips and had no doubt that be had de­
tected something which had given rise
to the Idea.
Then, again, i f not poison, what had
caused the man’s death, since there
was neither wound nor marks o f
strangulation?
But, on the other hand, whose blond
was that which lay so thickly upon the
floor? T h ere w ere no signs o f a strug­
gle. nor had the victim any weapon
with which he might have wounded
an antagonist.
As long ss all these questions were
unsolved I felt that sleep would be no
easy matter, either fo r Holmes or m y­
self.
H is quiet, self confident manner con­
vinced me that he had already formed
a theory which explained all the facts
though what It was I could not fo r an
instant conjecture.
H e was very late In returning— so
late that I knew that the concert could
not have detained him all the time.
Idnner was on the table before he ap­
peared.
" It was magnificent." he said, as he
took his seat. "D o you remember what
Darwin says about music? H e claims
that the power o f producing aad apbre
elating It existed among the human
race long before the power o f speech
was arrived at. Perhaps that Is why
w e are so subtly Influenced by It.
T h ere are vague memories In our
souls o f those m isty centuries when
the world was In Its childhood.”
'T h a t ’s rather a broad Idea," I re­
marked.
"O ne’s Ideas must be as brsod as
Nature If they are to Interpret Nature."

As he snoke there was a sharp ring
at the bell.
Sherlock Holmea rose

W e could not hear the servant’s re-

The footfall was an uncertain and
shuffling one. A look o f surprise psssed
over the face of my companion as he
listened to It.
It came slow ly along the passage.
