A STUDY IN
BY A. CONAN DOYLE.
.3 - .
FARI 1.
Being a reprint from the reminis
cences of John II. Watson, M. P., late
of the army medical department.
CHAPTER I.
In the year 1S78 I took my degree of
Doctor of Medicine of the University of
London and proceeded to Netle-y to go
through the coarse prescribed for sur
geons in the army.
Having completed my studies there,
I was duly attached to the Fifth North
umberland Fusiliers as assistant sur
geon. The regiment was stationed in
India at the time, and before "I could
join it the second Afghan war had
broken out.
On landing at Bombay I learned
that my corps had advanced through
the passes and was already deep in the
enemy's country.
I followed, however, with many other
officers who were in the same situation
as myself, and succeeded in reaching
Candahar in safety, where I found my
legiment, and at once entered upon my
new duties.
The campaign brought honors and
promotion to many, but for me it had
nothing bat disaster and misfortune.
I was removed from my brigade and
attached to the Berkshires, with whom
I served at the fatal battle of Maiwand.
There I was strnck on the shoulder
by a Jezail bullet, which shattered the
bone and Erased the subclvian artery.
I should have fallen into the hands of
the murderous Ghaiis had it not been
for the courage and devotion shown by
Murray, my orderly, who threw me
, across a pack horse and succeeded in
I bringing me safely into the British
lines.
Worn with Dain and weak from the
prolonged hardships which I had under
gone, I was removed, with a great
train of wounded sufferers, to Jhe base
hospital at Peshawar.
Here I rallied, and had already im
proved eo far as to be able to walk
about the wards, and even to bask a lit
tle on the veranda, when I was struck
down by enteric fever, that curse of our
Indian possessions.
For months my life was despaired
of, and when at last I came to myself
and became convalescent, I was so
weak and emaciated that a medical
board determined that uot a day should
be lost in sending me back to England.
I was dispatched accordingly in the
troopship Orontes, and landed a month
later on Portsmouth jetty, with my
health irretrievably ruined, but with
permission from a paternal government
to spend the next nine months in at
tempting to improve it.
I had neither kith nor kin in Eng
land, and was therefore as free as air
or as free aa an income of eleven shill
ings and sixpence a day will permit a
man to be.
Under such circumstances I natural
ly gravitated to London, that great
cesspool into which all the loungers
and idlers of the empire are iiresistab
ly drained.
There I stayed for some time at a
private hotel in the Strand, leading a
comfortable, meaningless existence and
spending such money as I had consid
erably more freely than I ought.
So alarming did the state of my
finances become, that I soon realized
that I must either leave the metropolis
and rusticate somewhere in the country
or that I must make a complete altera
tion in my style of living.
Choosing the latter alternative, I be
gan by making np my mind to leave
the hotel and take up my quarters in
some less pretentious and less expen
sive domicile.
On the very day that I had come to
this conclusion, I was standing at the
Criterion bar, when some one tapped
me on the shoulder, and, turning
round, I recognized young Stamford,
who had been a dresser undet me at
Bart's.
The sight of a friend's face in the
great wilderness of London is a pleasant
thing, indeed, for a lonely man. In
old days Stamford had never been a
particular crony of mine, but now I
hailed him with enthusiasm, and he,
in his turn, appeared to be delighted to
see me.
In the exuberance of my joy I asked
him to lunch with me at the Holborn,
and we started off together in a hansom.
"Whatever have you been doing with
yourself, Watson?" he asked, in undis
guised wonder, as we rattled through
the crowded London streets. "You are
as thin as a lath and as brown as a
nut."
I gave him a short sketch of my ad
ventures, and had hardly concluded it
by the time that we reached our desti
nation.
"Poor devil!" he said, commiserat
ingly, after be had listened to my mis
fortunes. "What are you up to now?"
"Looking for lodgings," I answered.
"Trying to solve the problem as to
whether it is possible to get comforta
ble rooms at a reasonable price."
"That's a strange thing," remarked
my companion; "you are the sceond
man today that has used that expres
sion to me."
"And who was the first, " I asked.
"A fellow who is working at the
chemical laboratory np at the hospital.
He was bemoaning himsejf this morn
ing because he could not get some one
to go halves with him in some nice
rooms which he had found and which
were too much for his purse."
"By Jove!" I cried, "if he really
wants some to share the rooms and the
expense, I am the very man for him,
I should prefer having a partner to be'
ing alone."
Young Stamford looked rather
strangely at me over his wine glass.
"You don't know Sherlock Holmes
yet," he said ; "perhaps you would not
care for him as a constant companion."
"Why, what is there against him?"
"Oh, I didn't say there was anything
against him. He is a little queer in
bis ideas an enthusiast in some
branches of science. As far as I know.
be is a decent fellow enough."
"A medical student, I suppose?" I
aid.
"No; I have no idea what he intends
to go in for. I believe he is well up
in anatomy, and he is a first class
chemist; but, as far ar I know, he has
SCARLET.
never taken cut any systematic medical
classes. His studies are wry desultory
and eccentric, but he has amasAl a lot
of out-of-the-way knowledge which
would astonish his professors."
"Did you ever ask him what he was
going in for," I asked.
"No; he is not a man that it is easy
to draw out, though he can be commu
nicative enough when the fancv seises
him."
"I should like to meet him," I said.
"If I am to lodge with any one, I
should prefer a man of studious and
quiet habits. I am not strong enough
yet to stand much noise or excitement.
I had enough of both in Afghanistan to
last me for the remainder of my natural
existence. How could I meet this
friend of yours?"
"He is sure to be at the laboratory.
He either avoids the plat-e for weeks or
else he works there from morning to
night. If you like we shall drive round
together after luncheon."
"Certainly," I answered; and the
conversation drifted away into other
channels.
As we made our way into the hos
pital after leaving the Holborn Statu
ford gave me a few more particulars
about the gentleman whom I proposed
to take as a fellow lodger.
"You mustn't blame me if you don't
get on with him' he said; "I know
nothing more of him than I have
learned from meeting him occasionally
in the laboratory. You proposed this ar
rangement, eo you must not hold me
responsible."
"If we don't get on it will be easy to
part company," I answered. "It
seems to me, Stamford," I added, look
ing hard at my companion, "that yon
have some reasons for washing your
hands of the matter. Is this fellow's
temper so formidable, or what is it.
Don't be mealy-mouthed about it."
"It is not easy to express the inex
pressible," he answered, with a laugh.
"Holmes is a little too scientific for my
tastes it approaches to cold blooded
ness. I could imagine his giving a
friend a little pinch of the latest vege
table alkaloid, not oat of malevolence,
you understand, but simply out of a
spirit of inquiry, in order to have an
accurate idea of the effects. To do him
justice, I think he would take it him
self with the same readiness. He ap
pears to have a passion for exact and
definite knowledge."'
"Very right, too."
"Yes, but it may be pushed to ex
cess. When it comes to beating the
subjects in the dissecting rooms with a
etick, it is certainly taking rather a
bizarre shape."
"Beating the subjects?"
"Yes, to verify how far bruises may
be produced after death. I saw him at
it with my own eyes."
"And yet you say he is not a medical
Btudent?"
"No. Heaven knows what the ob
jects of his studies are! But here we
are, snd you. must form your own im
pressions about him."
As he spoke we turned down a narrow
lane and passed through a small door,
which opened into a wing of the great
hospital.
It was familiar ground to me, and I
needed no guiding as we ascended the
bleak stone staircase and made our way
down the long corridor, with its vista
of whitewashed walls and dun colored
doors. Near the farther end a low
arched passage branched away from it
and led to the chemical laboratory.
This was a lofty chamber, lined and
littered with countless bottles. Broad,
low tables were scattered about, which
bristled with retorts, test tubes and lit
tle Bunsen lamps, with their blue,
flickering flames.
There was only one student in the
room, who was bending over a distant
table absorbed in his work. At the
sound of our steps he glanced around
and sprang to bis feet with a cry of
pleasure.
"I've found it! I've found it!" he
shouted to my companion, running to
ward us with a test tube in his hand.
I have found a reagent which is preci
pitated by haemogoblin, and by noth
ing else."
Had he discovered a gold mine great
er delight could not have shone upon
his features.
"Doctor Watson Mr. Sherlock
Holmes," said Starnord, introducing us.
"How are you?" he said, cordially,
gripping my hand with a strength for
which I should hardly have given him
credit. "You have been in Afghanis
tan, I perceive."
"How on earth did yon know that,"
I asked in astonishment.
"Never mind," said he, chuckling
to himself. "The question now is
about haemogoblin. No doubt you see
the significance of this discovery of
mine?"
"It is interesting, chemically, no
doubt," I answered; "but prac
tically"
"Why , man, it is the most practical
medico-legal discoveiy for years.
Don't you see that it gives us an infal
lible test for blood stains? Come over
here now!" He seized me by the coat
sleeve in his eagerness and drew me
over to the' table at which he had leen
working. "Let ns have some fresh
blood," he said, digging a long bodkin
into his finger and drawing off the re
sulting drop of blood in a chemical
pipette. "Now I add this small quan
tity of blood to a litre of water. You
see that the resutling mixture has the
appearance of true water. The pro
portion of blood cannot be more than
one in a million. I have no doubt,
however, that we shall be able to ob
tain the characteristic raection."
As he spoke he threw into the vessel
a few white crystals and then added
some drops of a transparent fluid. In
an instant the contents assumed a dull
mahogany color, and a brownish dust
was precipitated to the bottom of the
glass jar.
"Ha! Ha!" he cried, clapping his
hands and looking as delighted as a
child with a new toy. "What do you
think of that?"
"It seems to be a very delicate test,"
I remarked.
"Beautiful I Beautiful! The old
guaiacum test was very clumsy and un
certain. So is the microscopic examin
ation for blood corpuscle. The latter
is valueless if the stains area few hours
old. Now, this appears to act as well
whether the blood is old or new. Had
this test been invented there are hun
dreds of men now walking the ean
w ho would long ago hare paid the pen
alty of their crimes "
"Indeed!" I murmured.
"Criminal cam are continually hing
ing on that one point. A man is sus
pected of a crime months perhaps after
it ia committed. His linen or clothes
are examined, and brownish stains dis
covered upon them. Are they blood
stains, or mudstains, or tustataini, or
fruitstains, or what are they? There is
a question which has puttied many an
expert; and why? Because there was
no reliable test. Now we have the
Sherlock Holmes test, and there will
no longer be any difficulty."
His eyea fairly glittered as he spoke,
and he put his hand over his heart and
bowed as if to some applauding crowd
conjured up in his imagination,
"You are to be congratulated," I
remarked, considerably surprised at
his enthusiasm.
"There was the case of Von Bisvhoff
at Frankfort last year. He would cer
tainly have been hung had this test
been in existence. Then there was
Mason, of Bradford, and the notorious
Muller, and Lefevre, of Montpelier,
and Samson, of New Orleans. I could
name a score of caws in which it would
have been decisive."
"Yon tveji to be a walking calendar
of crime," said Statu lord, with a laugh.
"You might start a paper on those
lines. Call it the 'Police News of the
Pant.' "
"Very interesting reading it might
make, too," remarked Sherlock Holmes,
sticking a small piece of plaster over
the prick on his finger. "I have to be
careful," he continued, turning to me
with a smile, "for I dabble with poi
sons a good deal."
Ho held out his hand as he spoke,
and I noticed that it was all mottled
over with similar pieces of plaster and
discolored with strung acids.
"We came here on business," said
Stamford, sitting down 6u a three
legged stool and pushing another one
in my direction with bis foot. "My
friend hero wants to take diggings, and
as you were complaining that you could
get no on to go halves with you, I
thought that I had better bring you
together."

"What did you give your horse for

They again encountered each other a
