PART ONE It was no very unusual thing for

Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, to look in upon us of ,an evening, and his visits were welcome to Sherlock

Holmes, for they enabled him to keep in touch with all that was going on

at police headquarters. In return for

the news which Lestrade would bring,

Holmes was always ready to listen with attention to the details of any case upon which the detective was engaged, and was able occasionally,

without any active interference, to give some hint or suggestion drawn from his vast knowledge and experience. On this particular evening Lestrade had spoken of the weather and the newspapers. Then he had fallen silent, puffing thoughtfully at his cigar. Holmes looked keenly at him.

"Anything remarkable on hand?"

he asked.

"Oh, no, Mr. Holmes nothing very

particular." "Then tell me about it." Lestrade laughed.

"Well, Mr. Holmes, there is no use

denying that there is something on my mind. And yet it is such an absurd business that I hesitated to bother you about it On the other hand, although it is trivial, it is undoubtedly queer, and I know that you have a taste for all that is out of the common. But, in my opinion, it comes more in Dr. Watson's line than ours."

"Disease?" said I. "Madness, anyhow. And a queer madness, too. You wouldn't think there was anyone living at this time of day who had such a hatred of Napoleon the First that he would break

any image of him that he could 6ee." Holmes sank back in his chair. "That's no business of mine," said he. "Exactly. That's what I said. But, then, when the man commits burglary in order , to break images which are not his own, that brings it away from the doctor and on to the police, man." Holmes sat up again. "Burglary! This is more interesting. Let me hear the details."

Hustedt, 87 years old, one of the oldest undertakers in Indiana, died at his home here at 2:20 Monday morning, less than four hours after his wife, SI years old, passed away. Both had been unconscious since early Sunday. They were married in Cincinnati, O., and would have celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary next September. Both were born in Germany and came to this country in their early youth.

"tvio first- rnsA rerjorted was four

days ago." said he. "It was at the shop of Morse Hudson, who has a place for the sale of pictures and statues in the Kennington Road. The assistant had left the front shop for an Instant, when he heard a crash, and hurrving in he found a plaster bust of Napoleon, which stood with several other works of art upon the counter, lying shivered into fragments. He rushed out into the road, v oitTmncrVi spvpral Dassersby de-

iui, lii' iivj i'n " - clared that they had noticed a man

run out of the shop, he could neither see anyone nor could he find any means of identifying the rascal. It seemed to be one of those senseless acts of Hooliganism which occur from time to time, and it was reported to the constable on the beat as such. The plaster cast was not worth more than a few shillings, and the whole affair appeared to be too childish for anv particular investigation.

"The second case, however, was more serious, and also more singular. It occurred only last night. "In Kennington Road, and within a few hundred yards of Morse Hudson's shop, there lives a well known medical practitioner, named Dr. Barnicot, w ho has one of the largest practices upon the south side of the Thames. His residence and princi

pal consulting room is at Kennington Road, but he has a branch surgery and dispensary at Lower Brixton Road, two miles away. This Dr. Barnicot is an enthusiastic admirer of

Naooleon. and his house is full of

boolts. pictures and relics of the French emperor. Some little time ago he purchased from Morse Hudson two duplicate plaster casts of the

famous head of Napoleon by the French sculptor Devine. One of

these he Dlaced in his hall in the

house at Kennington Road, and the other on the mantelpiece of the sur

gery at Lower Brixton. Well, when Dr. Barnicot came down thi3 morning he was astonished to find that his house had been burgled during the night, but that nothing had been taken save the plaster head from the hall. It had been carried out and had been dashed savagely against the garden wall, under which its splintered fragments were discovered." Holmes rubbed his hands. "This is vertainly very novel," said he. "1 thought it would please you. But I have not got to the end yet. Dr Barnicot was due at his surgery at twelve o'clock, and you can Imagine his amazement when, on arriving there.

he found that the window had been

opened in the night, and that the broken pieces of his second bust were strewn all over the room. It had been smashed to atoms where it stood. Tn neither case were there any signs which could give us a clue as to the

criminal or lunatic who had done the mischief. Now, Mr. Holmes, you have got the facts." "They are singular, not to say grotesque," said Holmes. "May I ask whether the two busts smashed in Dr. Barnicot's rooms were the exact duplicates of the one which was destroyed in Morse Hudson's shop?" "They were taken from the sam-3 mold." "Such a fact must tell against the theory that the man who breaks them is influenced by any general hatred of Napoleon. Considering how many hundreds of statues of the great Emperor must exist in London, it is too

much to suppose such a coincidence as that a promiscuous iconoclast should chance to begin upon three specimens of the same bust.' "Well, I thought as you do,". said Lestrade. "On the other hand, this Morse Hudson is the purveyor of busts in that part of London and these were the only ones which had been in his shop for years. So, although, as you say, there aro many hundreds of statues in London, it is very probable that

these three were the only ones in that

local fanatic What do you

think, Dr. Watson?" 'There are no limits to the possibilities of monomania," I answered.

development of so singular a chain of events." The development for which my friend had asked came in a quicker and an infinitely more tragic form than he cculd have imagined. I was still dressing in my bedroom next morning, when there was a tap at the door and Holmes entered a telegram in his hand, fie read it aloud: "Come instantly, 131, Pitt Street, Kensington. Lestrade."

"What is it, then?" I asked. "Don't know may be anything. But I suspect it is the sequel of the story

ui me siaiues. in tfiat case our friend, I the image-breaker, has begun operations in another quarter of London. There's coffee on the table. Watson, and I have a cab at the door." In half an hour we had reached Pitt Street, a quiet little backwater just beside one of the briskest currents of

ionaon ure. io. isi was one of a row, all flat-chested, respectable, and most unromantic dwellings. As we drove up, we found the railings in front of the house lined by a curious crowd. Holmes whistled. "By George! it's attempted murder at the least. Nothing less will hold the London message-boy. There's a deed of violence mdicated in that fellow's round shoulders and outstretched neck. What's this. Watson? The top steps swilled down and the other ones dry. Footsteps enough, anyhow! Well, well, there's Lestrado at the front window, and we shall

soon know all about it." The official received us with a very grave face and showed us into a sitting-room, where an exceedingly un-

Kempt and agitated elderly man, clad

'in a flannel dressing-gown, was pacing ! M n on4 7 T ; j. .1 .

"You seemed interested last night, Mr. Holmes, so I thought perhaps you would be glad to be present now- that the affair has taken a very graver turn." "What has it turned to, then?" "To murder. Mr. Harker, will you tell these gentlemen exactly what has occurred?" The man in the dressing-gown turned upon us with a most melancholy face. "It's an extraordinary thing," said he, "that all my life I have been collecting other people's news, and now that a real piece of news has come

my own way I am so confused and

different people, and I can make no use of It myself. However, I've heard j your name, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and if you'll only explain this queer business, I shall be paid for my trouble in

telling you the story." Holmes sat down and listened. "It all seems to centre round that bust of Napoleon which I bought for this very room aDout four months ago. I picked it up cheap from Harding Brothers two doors from the High Street Station. A great deal of my journalistis work is done at night, and I often write until the early morning. So it was today. I was sitting in my den. which is at the back of the toD

of the house, about three o'clock, when I was convinced that I heard some sounds downstairs. I listened, but they were not repeated, and I con

cluded that they came from outside. Then suddenly, about five minutes later, there came a most horrible yell the most dreadful sound, Mr. Holmes, that ever I heard. It will ring in my ears as long as I live. I sat

frozen with horror for a minute or two. Then I seized the poker and went downstairs. When I entered this room I found the window wide open, and I at once observed that the bust

was gone from the mantel-piece. Why any burglar should take such a thing passes my understanding, for it was only a plaster cast, and of no real value whatever. "You can see for yourself that anyone going out through that open

wincow could reach the front doorstep by taking a long stride. This was clearly what the burglar had done, so I went round and opened the door. Stepping out into the dark, I nearly fell over a dead man, who was lying there. I ran back for a light, and there was the poor fellow, a great gash in his throat and the whole place swimming in blood. He lay on his back, his knees drawn up, and hia

mouth horribly open. I shall see him in my dreams. I had just time to blow on my police whistle, and then I must have fainted, for I knew nothing more until I found the policeman standing over me in the hall." "Well, who was the murdered man?" asked Holmes. "There's nothing to show who he was," said Lestrade. "You shall see the body at the mortuary, but we have made nothing of it up to now. He is a tall man, sunburned, very powerful, not more than thirty. He is poorly dressed, and yet does not appear to be a laborer. A horn-

was the weapon which did the deed, or whether it belonged to the dead man, I do not know. There was no name on his clothing, and nothing in his pockets, save an apple, some string, a shilling map of London, and a photograph. Here it is."
