In front of it, he theéw back the lid, I gould see that It was already a third full of bundles of paper tled up with red tape Into separate packages, “There are cases enough here, Watson," sald he, looking at me with mischievous eyes, “I think that if you knew all that I had in this box you would asi me to pull some out Instead of putting othera in,” Chese are the records of your early work, then?"

Sherlock Holmes picked them up, one by one, and laid them along the edge of the table, ‘Then he reseated himself in his chair and looked them over with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes, “These, sald he, “are all that I have let to res mind me of the adventure of the Musgrave Ritual,” I had heard him mention the case more tyan once, though I had never been adle to gather the detail "L should be so glad,” sald 1, “if you would give me an account of it.” “And leave the Iltter It is?” he orled, mis- chievously, “Your tidiness won't bear much stran, after all, Watson, But 1 should be glad that you should add this case to your annals, for there are points in it which make It quite unique in the erim- inal records of this or, I believe, of any other country, A collection of my trifling achievements would certainly be incomplete which contained no account of this very singular business, "You may remember how the affair of the Gloria Scott, and my conversation with the unhappy man whose fate I told you of, first turned my attention An thé dirdotion of tho profossion wmbtah has become he as arrow down to the proper size, leaving ¥e D the Wood about the nail head to prevent tts being driven’ further tn \Voedera at you may combine it yood. disterent lengths and different and thus splitting’ the arrow 0 OTe With Sy NENG RUGS HhL pe auoad, ditorent eng strengthen It further the head may be Vald Bigle urges vou all to » your Wea ny NS ae RID tly wrapped whith a strong, light own ontfits whenever possible Pye Pee ER this Cesar ‘dor wax end, Suppose you commenre with bow, thing for an arrow Is to ha tt r hardly have too many ar- ‘rrawa and target.
