We met next day as lie had ar
ranged, und iuspcoted the rooms at
No. SSlBjBtker street, of which he had
ipoken at our meeting. They con
sisted of u couple '.'oinfortablc bed
rooms und a single large, uiry sitting
room, cheerfully furnished, and il
luminated by two broad w indows. So
desirable In even way were the apart
ments, and si) moderate did the terms
seem when divided between us, that
the burgtlD was concluded upon the
bpot; und we ut once entered into pos
session. That very evening' 1 moved
my thing's round from the hotel, and
on the following morning Sherlock
Holmes followed me with several
boxes anil portmanteaus. For a day or
two we vera busily employed in un
packing ami laying out our property
to the best advuntage. That done, we
gradually began to settle down and to
accommodate ourselves to our new sur
roundings. Holmes was certainly not a difficult
man to live with. He was quiet in his
irayi and his habits were regular. It
was rare for him t be up after teu ut
night, and he had invariably break
fasted und gone out before 1 rose in
the morning. Sometimes be spent his
day at the chemical laboratory, some
times in the dissecting-rooms and oc
casionally in long wulks, which up
beared to take him into the low est por
tions of the city. Nothing could ex
ceed his energy when the working lit
w as upon him, but now and again a re
action would seize him ami for days
on end lie would lie upon the sofa, in
the sitting-room, hardly uttering a
word or moving a muscle from morn
ing to night. On these occasions
1 have noticed such a dreumy, vacant
expression in his eyes that I might
have inspected him of being addicted
to tho use of some narcotic hnd not
the temperance and cleanliness of his
whole life forbidden sucil a notion.
As the weeks went by, my interest
in him and my curiosity as to his aims
in life gradually deepened and in
creased. His very person and ap
pearance were such us to strike the at
tention of the most easuul observer, j
In height he was rather over six feet,
and so excessively lean that he seemed
to be considerably taller. His eyes
were sharp and piercing, save during
those intervals of torpor to which I I
have alluded; und his thin, hawk-like I
nose gave his whole expression uu air j
of alertness and decision. His chin,
too, hud the prominence and square
ness w hich mark the man of determiua-
tion. ilis hands w ere invariably blotted
with ink and stained with chemicals,
yet he wa-. possessed of extraordinary
delicacy of touch, as I frequently had
occasion to observe when I watched
him manipulating his fragile philo
sophical Instruments.
The reader may set me down as a
hopeless busybody, when 1 confess
how much this man stimulated my
curiosity and how often I endeavored
to break through the reticence which
he showed on all that concerned him
self. Before pronouncing judgment,
however, be it remembered how object
less was my life and how little there
was to engage my attention. .My
health forbade me from venturing out
fore, not to have useless facts elbowing
out the useful ones."
"Hut the solur system!" I protested.
"What the deuce is it to me?' he in
terrupted impatiently; "you say that

1 was on the point of asking him
what that work might bo, but some
thing in his manner showed ine that
the question would be an unwelcome
one. I pondered over our short con
versation, however, anil endeavored to
druw my deductions from it. He suid
that hu would acquire no knowledge
which did not bear upon his object.
Therefore all the knowledge which he
possessed was such as would be useful
to him. I enumerated in my own mind
ull the various points upoat which he
had shown me that he was exception
ally well informed. I even took a
pencil and jotted them down. 1 could
not help smiling at the document when
1 had completed it. ltran in this way:

When I had got so far in my list I

s
which needs them all," I said to my
self, "I may as well give up the at
tempt at once."
I see that I have alluded above to his
powers on the violin. These were very
remarkable, but as eccentric as all
his other . accomplishments. That he
could play pieces, and difficult pieces,
I knew well, because at my request he
has played me some of Mendelssohn's
l.ieder and other favorites. When left
unless the weather ws exceptionally I to himself, however, he would seldom
genial, and 1 had no friemls who would
call upon me and break the monotony
of my daily existence. Under these
circumstances I eagerly hailed the lit
tle mystery which hung uround my
companion, and spent much of my
time in endeavoring to unravel It.
He was not studying medicine, ne
had himself, in reply to a question,
confirmed Stamford's opinion upon
that point. Neither did he appear to
have pursued any course of reading
which might lit him for a degree
in science or any other recognized
portal which would give him an en
trance into the learned world. Vet
his zeal for certain studies was re
markable, and W llOin CI CCilwl'lC UlUllO
lm knowledge was so extraordinarily
ample and minute that his observa
tions huve fairly astounded me. Sure
ly uo man would work so hard to at
tain such precise information unless
he had some delinlte end In view.
Desultory readers are seldom remark
able for the exactness of their learn
ing. Ns man burdens his mind with
small matters unless be has some very
good reason for doing so.
His ignorance was ns remarkable as
his know ledge. Of contemporary lit
erature, philosophy und politics lie
iippeared to know next to nothing.
Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he
inquired in the nnivest way who he
might be and what he had done. My
surprise reached a climax, however,
when I found incidentally that he was
ignorant of the Coperniean theory and
of the composition of the solar sys
tem. That any civilized human being
in this nineteenth century should not
be aware that the earth traveled
round the sun appeared to be to me
such an extraordinary fact that I could
hardly realize it.
"You appear to be astonished," he
suid, smiling at my expression of sur
prise. "Now that I do know It 1 shall
do my best to forget It."
"To forget itl"
"You see," he explained, "I consider
that a man's brain originally is like a
little empty attic, and you have to
stock it with such furniture as you
choose. A fool takes in all the lumber
of every sort that he comes across, so
that the knowledge which might be
aud I naturally began to run my eye
through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was
"The Book of Life," and it attempted
to show how much an observant man
might learn by an accurate and sys
tematic examination of all that came
in his way. It struck me as being a re
markable mixture of shrewdness and
absurdity. The reasoning was close
and intense, but the deductions ap
peared to be far-fetched and exagger
ated. The writer claimed by a mo
mentary expression, a twitch of a
muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom
a man's inmost thoughts. Deceit, ac
cording to him, was an impossibility
in the case of one trained to observa
tion and analysis. His conclusions
were as Infallible as so many propo
sitions of Euclid. So startling would
his results appear to the uninitiated
that, until they learned the processes
by which he had arrived at them, they
might well consider him a necromancer.
"From a drop of water," said the
writer, "a logician could infer the pos
sibility of un Atlantic or a Niagara
w ithout having seen or heard of one or
produce any music or attempt any rir.'-
Ognited air. Leaning back in his arm
chair of an evening he would close his
eyes and scrape carelessly ut the fiddle
which iV&S thrown ucross his knee.
Sometimes the chords were sonor
ous and melancholy. Occasionally they
were fantastic and cheerful. Clearly
they reflected the thoughts which
possessed him, but whether the music
aided those thoughts, or whether the
playing was simply the result of a
w him or fancy was more than I could
determine. I might have rebelled
against these exasperating solos had it
not been that he usually terminated
them by playing in quick succession a
whole series of rav fuvorite airs as a
alight compensation for the trial upon
my patience.
tmnng the tirst week or so we had uo
callers, und I had begun to think that
my companion was as friendless a man
ns I was myself. Presently, however,
I found that he had many acquaint
Knees, and those In most different
classes of society. There was one lit
tle, sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow
who was introduced to me as Mr. LeS'
trade, and who came three or four
times In a single week. One morning
a young girl called, fashionably
dressed, aud stayed for half an hour or
more. The same afternoon brought a
gray-headed, seedy visitor, looking like
a Jew peddler, who appeared tome to be
much excited, and who was closely fol
lowed by a slip-shod elderly woinuu.
On Hiiother occasion an old white
haired gentleman had an interview
with my companion; and on another a
railwuy porter In his velveteen uni
form. When any of these nondescript
individuals put in an appearance, Sher
lock Holmes used to beg for the use of
the sitting-room, and I would retire to
my bedroom. He always apologized
to me for putting me to toil inconven
ience. "I have to use this room as a
Vlace of business," he said, "and these
people are my clients." Again 1 had
an opportunity of asking him a point
blank question, and again my delicacy
prevented me from forcing another
man to confide In me. I imagined at
the time that he had some strong rea
son for not alluding to it, but he soon
dispelled the idea by earning round to

best is jumbled up with a lot of other
things, so that lie has a difficulty in
luying his hands upon it. Now the
skillful workman is very careful indeed
as to what be takes into his brain
attic. He will have nothing but tire
tools which may help him iu doing his
work, but of these he has a large
assortment, und all in the most perfect
order, it is a mistake to think that
that little room has elastic walls and
can distend to any extent. Depend
upon it, there comes a time when for
every addition of knowledge you for
get something that you knew before.
It is of the highest importance. there-
It was upon the 4th of March, as I
have good rcasou to remember, that I
rose somewhat earlier than usual, ami
found that Sherlock Holmes had not yet
finished his breakfast. The landlady
had become so accustomed to my late
habits that my place had not been laid
nor my coffee prepared. With the un
reasonable petulance, of mankind I
rang the bell and gave u curt intima
tion that I was ready. Then I picked
up a magazine from the table und ut
tempted to while away the time with
it, while my companion munched si
lently at his toast. One of the articles
had u pencil murk ut the heading.

the other. So all life is a great chain,
the nature Of which is known whenever
wc arc show n u single link of it. Like
all other arts, the science of deduction
and analysis is one which can only be
acquired by long aud patient study,
nor is life long enough to allow any
mortal to uttain the highest possible
perfection in it. lfefore turning to
those moral und mental aspects of the
matter which present the greatest dif
ficulties, let the inquirer begin by mas
tering more elementary problems. Let
him, on meeting a fellow-mortal, learn
at a glance to distinguish the history
Of the man, aud the trade or profession
to which he belongs. Puerile as such
an exercise may seem, it sharpens the
faculties of observation and teaches
one where to look und what to look
for. Uy a man's finger-nails,, by his
coat-sleeve, by his boot, by his trouser
knees, by the callosities of his fore
finger and thumb, by his expression,
by his shirt-euti's by each of these
things a man's calling is plainly re
vealed. That all united should fail to
enlighten the competent inquirer iu
any case is almost inconceivable."
"What Ineffable twaddler 1 cried,
sluppiii"' the magazine down on the
table; "I never read such rubbish iu
my life."
"What is it?" asked Sherlock Holmes.
"Why. this article." I said, pointing
St It with my tgg spoon us 1 sat down
to my breakfast "I see that you have
read it, since you have marked it. I
don't deny that it is smartly writ
ten. It irritate." me, though. It is
evidently the theory of some arm-chair
lounger Who evolves all these neat lit
tle paradoxes iu the seclusion of his
own study. It is not practical. I
should like to see him clapped down in
a third-class carriage on the Under
ground, and asked to give the trades of
ull his fellow travelers. I would lay a
thousand to one against him."
"You would lose. your money," Sher
lock holmes remarked, calmly. "As
for the article, I wrote it myself."
"Youl"
"Y es, I have a turn both for observa
tion aud for deduction. The theorie;
which 1 have expressed there, an
which uppear to you lo Ue so chimeri
cal, are really extremely practical so
ptletlcal that I depend upon them for
my bread and cheese."
"And how?" I asked, involuntarily.
"Well, I have a trade of my own. I
suppose 1 am the only one in the world.
I'm a consulting detective, if you can
understand what that is. Here in Lon
don we have lots of government detec
tives and lots of private ones. When
these fellows are at. fault they come to
me, and I manage to put them on the
right scent. They lay all the evidence
before me., and 1 urn generally able, by
the help of my knowledge of the his
tory of crime, to set. them straight.
There is u strong family resemblance
about misdeeds, and if you have all the
details of a thousand ut your finger
ends, it is odd if you can't unravel the
thousand and first. Lestrade is a well
known detective. He got himself into
a fog recently over a forgery ease, aud
that was what brought him here."
"And these other people?"
"They are mostly sent out by private
inquiry agencies. They are all people
who are In trouble about something,
and want a little enlightening. I
listen to their story, the.v listen to my
comments, und then I pocket my fee."
"But do you mean to say," 1 said,
"that without lenving your room you
can unravel some knot which other
men can make nothing of, although
they have seen every detail for them
selves?" "Quite so. I have a kind of intui
tion that way. Now and again a case
turns up which is a little more com
plex. Then I have to bustle about und
see things with my own eyes. You
see, I have a lot of special knowledge
which I apply to the problem, and
which facilitates matters wonderfully.
Those rules of deduction laid down in
that article which aroused your scorn
are invaluable to me in practical work.
Observation with me is second nature.
Y'ou appeared to be surprised when I
told you. on our first meeting, that you
had come from Afghanistan."
"You were told, no doubt."
"Nothing of the sort, i knew you
came from Afghanistan. From long
habit the train of thought ran so swift
ly through my mind that I arrived ut
the conclusion without being conscious
of intermediate steps. There were
such steps, however. The train of
reasoning ran: 'Here la a gentleman
of a medical type, but with the airof a
military man. Clearly an army doc
tor, then. He has just come from the
tropics, for his face is dark, and that
is not the natural tint of his skin, for
his wrists are fair. He has undergone
hardship and sickness, as his haggard
face says clearly. His left arm has
been inlured. He holds It in a stiff
and uuuat.iral manner. Where in the
tropics could an English army doctor
have seen much hardship and got his
arm wounded? Clearly iu Afghanis
tan.' The whole train of thought did
not occupy a second. ' I then remarked
that you came from Afghanistan, and
you were astonished."
"It is simple enough as you explain
it," I said, smiling. "Y'ou remind me
of Edgar Allan .Poe's 'Dupin.' I had
no idea that such individuals did exist
outside of stories."
Sherlock Holmes rose and lit his
pipe. "No doubt you think that you
are complimenting me in comparing
me to Dupin," he observed. "Now, in
my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior
fellow. That trick of his of breaking
in on his friends' thoughts with an
apropos remark after a quarter of an
hour's silence is really very showy and
superficial. He had some analytical
genius, no doubt; but he was by no
means such a phenomenon as Poe ap
peared to imagine."
"Have you read Oaboriau's works?"
I asked. "Does Lceoq come up to your
idea of a detective?"
Sherlock Holmes sniffed sardonically.
"Lecoq was a miserable bungler,'' he
said, in an angry voice; "he had only
one thiug to recommend him, and that
was his energy. That book made me
positively ill. The question was how
to identify an unknown prisoner. I
could have done it iu twenty-four
hours. Lecoq took six months or so.
It might be made a textrbook for de
tectives to teach them what, to avoid."
I felt rather Indignant at having two
characters whom I had admired treat
ed in this cavalier style. 1 walked ovu

HAND. 1
to the wiedow, and stood looking out
into the busy street. "This fellow
may be very clever,"' I said to myself,
"but he is certainly very conceited."
"There are no crimes and uo crim
inals in these days," he said, querul
ously. "What is the use of having
brains in our profession? I know well
that I have it in me to make my name
famous. No mau lives or lias ever
lived who has brought the same
amount of study and of natural talent.
to the detection of erime which I have
done. And what is the result? There
Is no crime to detect, or, at most, some
bungling villainy with a motive so
transparent that even a Scotland Yard
official can see through it."
I was still annoyed at his bumptious
style of conversation. 1 thought it
best to change the topic.
"I wonder what that fellow is look
ing for?" I asked, pointing to a stal
wart, plainly-dressed individual who
was walking slowly down the other
side of the street, looking anxiously at
the numbers. He had a large blue en
velope in his hand, and was evidently
the bearer of a message.
"Y'ou mean the retired sergeant of
marines," said Sherlock Holmes. .
"Brag and bounce!" thought 1 to my
self. "He knows that I cannot verify
his guess."
The thought had hardly passed
through my mind when the man
whom we were watching caught sight
of the number on our door, and ran
rapidly across the roadway, We
heard a loud knock, a deep voice be
low, und heavy steps ascending the
stair.
"For Mr! Sherlock Holmes," he said,
stepping into the room and handing
my friend the letter.
Here was an opportunity of taking
the conceit out of him. He little
thought of this when he made that
random shot. "May I usk, my lad,"
1 said, blandly, "what vour trado may
be?"
"Commissionaire, sir," he said gruff
ly. "Uniform away for repairs."
"And you were?" 1 asked, with u
slightly mulicious gluuce at my com
panion. "A sergeant, sir, Royal Marine light
infantry, sir. No answer? Right,
sir."
He clicked his heels together, raised
his hand in a salute, and was gone.
