He put his shoes on the table, What was it you dismiss. He could examine the papers in his own office. The Indian I also thought nothing af. If the proofs were in roll, he could not possibly know what they were. On the other hand {t seemed an unthinkable coincidence “Tt was simplo enough, sir, it you only had known; but, with al your. ee ee eee 3 that a man should dare to enter the room, and that by chance on that very day the papers were on the table, I dismissed that, The man who entered knew that the papers wero there. How did he know? “When I approached your room, I examined the window. You amused me by supposing that I was contemplating the possibility of some one hav- ing in broad daylight, under the eyes of all these opposite rooms, forced him- self through it, Such an idea was absurd. I was measuring how tall a man would need to be in order to eee, as he passed, what papers were on the central table, I am six feet high, and I could do it with an effort. No one less than that would have a chance. Already you see I had reason to think that, if one of your students was a man of unusual height, he was the most worth watching of the three, “I entered and I took you into my confidence as to the suggestions of the aide table. On the centre table I could make nothing, until In your de- scription of Gilchrist you mentioned that he was a long-distance jumper. Then the whole thing came to me in an instant, and I only needed certain corroborative proofs, which J speedily obtained, “What happened was this. This young fellow had employed his after- noon at the athletic grounds, where he had been practising the jump, He returned carrying his jumping shoes, which are provided, as you are aware, with several sharp spikes, As he passed your window he saw, by means of his great height, these proofs upon your table, and conjectured what they were, No harm would haye been done had it not been that, as he passed your door, he perceived the key which had been left by the carelessness of your servant, A sudden impulse came over him to enter and see if they were indeed the proofs.

He forgot his gloves, but he caught up his shoes and darted into the bedroom. the scratch on that table Is slight at one side, but deepens in the direction of the hedroom door, That in itself is enough to show us that the shoe had been drawn in that direction and that the culprit had taken refuge there, The earth round the spike had been left on the table and a second sample was loosened and fell in the bedroom. I may add that I walked out to the ath- latic grounds this morning, saw that tenacious black clay is used in the TUNDLAEE “pit and carried away a epecimen of it, together with some of the Glichrist, You observe that “Yes sbr, it is true,” said he, “Good heavens, have you noth- ing to add?” eried Soames, “Yos, sir, I have, but the shock of this disgraceful exposure has be- wildered me.

Gilchrist pointed to Bannister, “There is the man who set me in “Come now, Bannister," said Holmes, what I have said that only you could have let this young man out, since you were left in the room and must out.
