The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez'

No. 10 of the Series

(dnyrlgll, IIN, ly J. Court Dui: all Celllefl Waolly.) (fgpngbr, IMS. ly Hr(-'lran. Phillip: U Cu.)

“Thut’a the beat I can do for yon,”

said he. “It may prove to be of some

use.” »

The astonished detective read the

note aloud. It ran as follows:

Wanted, 1' woman of good alddreds, at-

tlred like a lady. She has a remarkably thick nose. with eyes which are let close upon either olde of lt. She has a pucker- ed forehead, it peering expression and probably rounded shoulders. There are

l indications that she has had recourse to

an optlclan at leant twice during the lalft few months. As her glasses are of re- markable strength and as optlclanli are not very numerous, there lhould be no

difficulty in tracing her.

Holmes smiled at the astonishment

of Hopkins, which must have been reflected upon my featuresl

“Surely my deductions are simplicity

itself," said he. “It would be dlfllcult to name any articles which afford a. liner field for inference than a pair of glasses, especially so remarkable a pair as these. Tluit they belong to a woman I infer from their delicacy and also of course from the last words of the dying man. As to her being A person of re-

_ tinement and well dressed, they are, as

you perceive, handsomely mounted in solid gold, and it ls inconceivable that any one who wore such glasses could be slatternly in other respecté. 'You ~~7~‘l\l.n-_ui turn; me cups are too wide for you. se. slrov.'in,f.,r that the lady’s nose was very br<,...I at the base. This sort of nose is usually u short-.arid coarse one, but there is a sufficient number of , exceptions to prevent nie from being dogmatic or from insisting upon this point in my description. My own face is a narrow one, and yet I find that I cannot get my eyes into the center nor near the center of these glasses. Therefore the lady's eyes are set very near to the sides of the nose. You will perceive, Watson, that the glasses are concave and of unusual strength. A lady whose vision has been so extreme- ly contracted all her life is sure to have _the physical characteristics of such vision, which are seen in the forehead, the eyelids and the shoulders."

"Yes," I said, “I can follow each of

your arguments. I confess, however, that I am unable to understand how you arrive at the double visit to the optic_lan_”

Holmes took the glasses in his hand. “You will perceive," he said, "that

the clips are lined with tiny bands of cork to soften the pressure upon the nose. One of these is dlscolorcd and _worn to some slight extant, but the other is new. Evidently one has fallen off and been replaced. I should judge that the older of them has not been there more than a few months. They exactly correspond, so I gather that the lady went back to the same establish- ment for the second." _

"By George, lt’s marvelous-F' cried

Hopkins, in an ecstasy of admiration. "To think that I had all that evidence in _my hand and never knew it! I had intended, however, to go the round of the London optlcians."

“Of course you would. Meanwhile

have you anything more to tell ns about the case?"

"Nothing, Mr. Holmes. I think that

you know as much as I do now-prob-

, ably more. We have had inquiries

made as to any stranger seen on the country roads or at the railway sta- tion, We have hoard of none. What beats me- ls the utter want of all object ln the crime. Not 11 ghost of a motive can any one suggest."

"Ah, there I um not in a position to

help you! But I suppose you want us to come out tomorrow?"

“If it is not asking too much, Mr.

' Holmes. Thera‘s a train from Charing

Cross to Chatham at 0 in tha morning, and we should be at Yoxley Old Place between 8 and 9.” \

"Then we shall take lt. Your case

has certainly some features of great interest, and I shall be delighted to look into lt. Well, lt's nearly 1, and we had best get a few hours' sleep. I dare any you can manage all right on the sofa in front of the tire. I’ll light my spirit lamp and give you a cup of codes before we start."

The gale had blown itself out next

day, but it was a bitter morning when we started upon our joumey. We saw the cold winter sun rise over the dreary marshls of the Thames and the long. sullen reaches of the river, which I shall ever associate with our pursuit of the Andaman Islander in the earlier days of our career. After a long and weary journey we allghted at A small station some miles from Chatham. Willie a horse was being p_ut into a trap at the local inn we snatched a hur- ried breakfast, and so we were all ready for business when we at last ar- rived at Yoxley Old Place. Aconstable

' "Well, Wllaou, any nawl?"

"N0, ali'-iiotlilnl."

-inns and lodgings?"

` ing. `v _

“Have you had inquiries made lit

"Yes, slr. There is no one that we

cannot account for." r

“Well, it's ‘only a reasonable walk

to Chatham. Any one might stay there or take a train without being observed. This is the garden path of which I spoke, Mr. Holmes. I’ll pledge my word there was no mark on it yester- day."

“On which aide were the marks on

the grass?"

“This side, slr-this narrow margin of

grass between the path and the iiower bed. I cun't_ see the traces now, but they were clear to me then."

"Yes, yes; some one has passed

along," said Holmes, stooplng over the grass border. "Our lirdy must have picked her steps carefully, must she not, since on the one side she would lenvc a truck on the path and on the other an even clearer one on the soft bed?"

"Yes, slr; she must have been a cool

hand."

I saw an intent look pass over

I-Iolmes' face.

“You say that she must have come

back this \vi1y'1"

“Yes, slr; there is no other."

“On this strip of g1’ass'l" "Certainly, Mr. Holmes." “lIuml It was a very remarkable

performance-very remarkable. Well, I think we have exhausted the path. Let us go farther. This garden door is usually kept open, I suppose. Then this visitor had nothing to do but to walk in. Tile idea of murder was not in her mind or she would have provid- ed herself with some sort of weapon instead of having to pick this knife off the writing table. She advanced along this corridor, leaving no traces upon the coconnut matting. Then she found herself in this study. How long was she there? We have no means of judg-

‘-Not $53: than 1_1 few minutes, slr. 1 forgot to ten you thi.: Mrs, Marker. the housekeeper, had been in there tidy-_ lug not very long before-about a quar- ter of an hour, sho says.”

"Well, that gives us ii limit. Oni- la-

dy enters tliis room, and what does she do? She goes over to the writing table. What for? Not for anythlnglin tile drawers. If there had been anything worth hai' taking it would surely have been locked up. No, it was for some- thing in that wooden bureau. Helio! What is that scratch upon the face of lt? Just hold n match, Watson. Why did you not tell me of this, Hopkins?"

The mark which he was examining

begun upon the hmsswork on the right hand side of the keyhole and extended for about four inches, whore it had scrirtclied the varnish from the surface.

“I noticed lt, Mr. Holmes, but you’ii

always find scratches round a key- hole-"

It is not it question of whether you will

Time undcxperiencc have proven tlint.

you can depend on Dr' Cluise's Syrup of Llnnecil and Turpentlne at such times.

Ir. is only necessary to renienrbor this

when the critit-al time comes, and to insist on melting what you risk for.

Should you irnvo cltllrlron who are aub-

It seems scarcely necessary lo dwell on

the merits of Dr. Chnaa's Syrup of Lin- seed and Turpentlno as u cure for croup, ibronchltls, whooping cough, etc. Most of us have known il. from clrildlroorl up. It is almost. as familiar us Dr. Chaso's Receipt hook.
