“If you examine it carefully you will see that both the pen and
the ink have given the writer trouble. The pen has spluttered twice
in a single word and has run dry three times in a short address,
showing that there was very little ink in the bottle. Now, a private
pen or inkbottle is seldom allowed to be in such a state, and the
combination of the two must be quite rare. But you know the ho
tel ink and and the hotel pen, where it is rare to get anything else.
Yes, I have very little hesitation in saying that could we examine
the wastepaper baskets of the hotels around Charing Cross until
we found the remains of the mutilated Times leader we could lay
our hands straight upon the person who sent this singular message.
Halloa! Halloa! What’s this?”

The German was sent for but professed to know nothing of the

to that constant and apparently purposeless series of small mysteries

which had succeeded each other so rapidly. Setting aside the whole
grim story, of Sir Charles’s death, we had a line of inexplicable inci
dents all within the limits of two days, which included the receipt of
the printed letter, the blackbearded spy in the hansome, the loss of
the new brown boot, the loss of the old black boot, and now the return
of the new brown boot. Holmes sat in silence in the cab as we drove
back to Baker Street and I knew from his drawn brows and keen face
that his mind, like my own, was busy in endeavouring to frame some
scheme into which all these strange and apparently disconnected epi
sodes could be tted. All afternoon and late into the evening he sat lost
in tobacco and thought.

And yet it was not quite the last. I found myself weary and yet
wakeful, tossing restlessly from side to side, seeking for the sleep
which would not come. Far away a chiming clock struck out the
quarters of the hours, but otherwise a deathly silence lay upon
the old house. And then suddenly, in the very dead of the night,
there came a sound to my ears, and unmistakable. It was the sob of
a woman, the mufed, strangling gasp of one who is torn by an un
controllable sorrow. I sat up in bed and listened intently. The noise
could not have been far away and was certainly in the house. For
half an hour I waited with every nerve on the alert, but there came
no order sound save the chimney clock and the rustle of the ivy on
the wall.

Stapleton was rushing with extraordinary energy and speed in pur
suit of it. To my dismay the creature ew straight for the great mire,
and my acquaintance never paused for an instant, bounding from tuft
to tuft behind it, his green net waving in the air. His grey clothes and
jerky, zigzag, irregular progress made him not unlike some huge moth
himself. I was standing watching his pursuit with a mixture of admi
ration for his extraordinary activity and fear lest he should lose his
footing in the treacherous mire when I heard the sound of steps and,
turning round, found a woman near me upon the path. She had come

of Merripit House, but the dip of the moor had hid her until she was
quite close.
