The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes
might nut fall upon tl.e pKiv lie twined
in to nnil aluiifl to him. I rHd for about
ton nilnut'-x, ti BlnnltiK In the heart of a
chiifr. and thi'n miildf-nly. In the mhldle
of a iwnieiir, he ordered me to ceae and
to ( hunge my drrs.
"You can easily Imagine, Mr. Tlolmes.
how curloui 1 became a to what the mean
ing of thin extraordinary performance
could jiooelhly he. They were nlwaye very
canful, I observed, to turn my face away
from the window, o that I became con
sumed with the d-slre to see what was
going on behind my back. At first It
eemed to be Impossible, hut I "on de
viled ft meann. My hand mirror had been
broken, so a happy thought aelied me, and
I concealed piece of tho frlasa In my
handkerchief. On the next occasion, In the
midst of my laujrhter, I put the handker
chief tip to my eyes and was able with ft
littl management to see all that there was
behind me. I confess that I was disap
pointed; there was nothing; at least that
was my first Impression. At the second
irlance, however. I perceived that there
was a man standing In the Bouthampton
road, a small, bearded man. In a gray suit,
who semed to be looking In my direction.
The road Is an Important highway and
then are usually people there. This man,
however, was leaning against the railings
which bordered our field and was looking
earnestly up. I lowered my handkerchief
and glanced at Mrs. Rucastle, to find her
eyes flsed upon me with ft most searching
gnie. She said nothing, hut I am convinced
that she had divined that I had a mirror
!n my hand and hod seen what was be
hind me. fihe rose at once.
" 'Jephro, snld she, 'there Is an Imperti
nent fellow upon the road there who stares
up at Miss Hunter.'
" 'No friend of yours, Miss Hunter?" he
asked.
' " 'No; I know no one In these parts.'
" 'Dear met How very Impertinent.
Kindly turn round and motion to him to
go away.'
" 'Surely, It would be better to take no
notice.'
. " 'No, no, we should have him loitering
here always. Kindly turn round and wave
him away, like that.'
"I did as I was told, and at the same In
stant Mrs. Rueastle drew down the blind.
That was a week ago, and from that time
I have not sat again In the window, nor
have I worn the blue dress, nor seen the
man In the road."
"Pray continue," said Holmes. "Tour
narrative promises to bo a most Interesting
one."
"Von will find It rather disconnected, I
fear, and there may prove to be little, rela
tlon between the different Incidents of
which I sneak. On the very first day that
I was Rt the Copper neeehes Mr. Rueastle
took me to a small outhouse which stands
near the kitchen door. As we approached
It I heard the sharp rattling of a chain, and
the sound as of a large animal moving
about.
" 'Look In here,' said Mr. Rueastle, show
ing me a slit between two planks. 'Is he
not a beauty?'
"I looked through and was conscious of
two glowing eyes, and of a vague figure
huddled up In the darkness.
" 'Don't bo frlghtenc ,' said my employer,
laughing at tho start which I had given,
'It's only "Carlo, my mastiff. I call him
mine, but really old Toller, my groom. Is
the only man who can do anything with
him. We feed him once a day, and not too
much then, so that he Is always as keen as
mustard. Toller lets him loose every night,
and Ood help the trespasser whom he lays
his fangs upon. For goodness' sake, don't
you ever on any pretext set your foot over
the threshold at night, for It is aa much aa
your life Is worth.'
"The warning was no Idle one, for two
nights later I happened to look out of my
bedroom window about 2 o'clock In the
.morning. It was a beautiful moonlight
night, and the lawn In front of the house
Vas silvered over and almost as bright as
day. I was standing, wrapt In the peaceful
beauty of the scene, when I was aware that
something was moving under the shadow of
the copper beeches. As it emerged Into the
moonshine I saw what It was. It was a
giant dog, as large as a calf, tawny-tlnted,
wing hanging Jowl, black muzzle and huge
projecting bones. It walked slowly across
the lawn and vanished Into, the shadow
Upon the other side. That dreadful silent
sentinel sent, a chill to my heart which I
do not think that any burglar could have
done.
"And now I have a very strange experi
ence to tell you. I had, as you know, cut
off my hair in London, and I had placed
It in a great coil at the bottom of my
trunk. One evening, after the child was In
bed. I began to amuse myself by examin
ing the furniture of my room and by rear
ranging my own little things. There was
an old cheat of drawers In the room, the
two upper ones empty and open, the lower ,
one locked. I had filled the first two with
my linen, and, as I had still much to pack
way, I was naturally annoyed at not hav
ing the uscy of the third drawer. It struck
me that It might have been fastened by a
mere oversight so I took out my bunch of
keys and tried to open It. The very first
key flitted to perfection, and I drew the
drawer open. There was only one thing
In it, hut I am sure that you would never
guess what It was. It was my coll of hair.
"I took It up and examined It. It was
of the same peculiar tint, and the same
thickness. .But then the Impossibility of
the thing obtruded Itself upon me. How
could my hair have been locked in the
drawer? With trembling hands I undid
my trunk, turned out the contents, and
drew from the bottom my own hair. I
laid the two tresses together, and I assure
you that they were Identical. Was it not
extraordinary? TuMle as I would. I could
make nothing st all of what It meant. I
returned the strange hair to the drawer,
and I said nothing of the matter to the
nueastles, ss I felt that I had put myself
In the wrong by opening a drawer which
they had locked.
"I am naturally observant, as you may
have remarked, Mr. Holmes, and I soon
had a pretty good plan of the whole house
In my head. There was one wing, how
ever, which appeared not to be Inhabited,
at all. A door which faced that which led
Into the quarters of the Tollers opened
Into this suite, but It was Invariable locked.
One day, however, as 1 ascended the st.lr.
I met Mr. Rueastle coming out through
this door, his keys in hi hand, and a look
on his face which made him a very dif
ferent person to the round. Jovial man to
whom I was accustomed. His cheeks wero
red, his brow was all crinkled with anger,
and the veins stood out at his temples
with passion. He locked the door and hur
ried past me without a word or a look.
"This aroused my rurlosity; so when I
went out for a walk In the grounds with
my charge I strolled round to the side from
which I could see the windows of this part
nf the house. Tnere were four of them in
ft row, three of which were simply dirty,
while the fourth was shuttered up. They
were evidently all deserted. As I strolled
up and down, glancing at them occasion
ally, Mr. Rueastle enme out to me, looking
as merry and Jovial as ever.
" 'Ah;' said he, 'you must not think me
rude If I passed you without a word, my
dear young lady. I was preoccupied with
business matters.'
"I assured him that I was not offended.
'By the way,' said I, 'you seem to have
rjuito a suite of spare rooms up there, and
one of them has the shutters up.'
"He looked surprised, and, as it seemed
to me. a little startled at my remark.
" 'Photography Is one of my hobbles,' said
he. 'I have made my dark room up thre.
But, dear me? what an observant young
lady we have come upon. Who would have
believed It? Who would ever have believed
it?' He spoke in a Jesting tone, but there
was no Jest in his eyes as ho looked at me.
I read suspicion there and annoyance, but
no Jest.
"Well, Mr. Holmes, from the moment that
I understood that there was something
about that suite of rooms which I was not
to know, I waa all on fire to go over them.
It was not mere curiosity, though I have
my share of that. It was more ft feeling of
duty a feeling that some good might come
from my penetrating to this place. They
talk of woman's instinct, perhaps it was
woman's Instinct which gave me that feel
ing. At any rate, It was there, and I was
keenly on the lookout for any chance to
pass the forbidden door.
"It was only yesterday that the chance
came. I may tell you that, besides Mr.
Rueastle, both Toller and his wife find
something to do In these deserted rooms,
and I once saw him carrying a large black
linen bag with him through the door. Re
cently he has been drinking hard, and yes
terday evening he was very drunk; and,
when I came upstairs, there was the key
In the door. I have no doubt at all that he
had left It there. Mr. and Mrs. Rueastle
were both downstairs, and the child was
with them, so that I had an admirable op
portunity. I turned the key gently In the
lock, opened the door and slipped through.
"There was a little passage In front of
me, unpapered and unearpeted, which
turned at a right angle at the farther end.
Round this corner were three doors In a
line, the first and third of which were
open. They each led Into an empty room,
dusty and cheerless, with two windows
In the one and one In the other, so thick
with dirt that the evening light glimmered
dimly through them. The center door waa
closed and across the outside of It had
been fastened one of the broad bars of an
Iron bed, padlocked at one end to a ring
In the wall and fastened at the other with
stout cord. The door Itself was locked as
w ell an the key was not there. This barri
caded door corresponded clearly with the
shuttered window outside, and yet I could
see by the glimmer from beneath It that
the room was not In darkness. Evidently
there was a skylight which let In light from
above. As I stood in the passage gazing
at the sinister door and wondering, what
secret It might veil I suddenly heard the
sound of steps within the room and saw a
shadow pass backward and forward against
the little silt of dim light which shone out
from under the door. A mad. unreasoning
terror rose up In me at the sight, Mr.
Holmes. My overstrung nerves failed me
suddenly and I turned and ran ran as
though some dreadful hand were behind me
clutching at the skirt of my dress. I rushed
down the passage, through the door and
straight Into the arms of Mr. Rueastle,
who was waiting outside.
" 'Bo,' said he. smiling. 'It was you, then.
I thought that it must be when I saw the
door open.'
" 'Oh. I am so frightened," I panted.
" "My dear young ladyl My dear young
lady!' you cannot think how caressing and
soothing his manner was 'and what has
frightened you, my dear young lady?"
"But his voice was Just a little too coax
ing. He overdid It. I was keenly on my
guard against him. '
" 'I was foolish enough to go Into the
empty wing," I answered. 'But It is so
lonely and eerie In this dim light that I
was frightened and ran out again. Oh, It
Is so dreadfully still In there!"
" 'Only that?' said he, looking at me
keenly.
" "Why, what did you think?' I asked.
" 'Why do you think that I lock this
door?'
" 'I am sure that I do not know.'
" 'It Is to keep out people who have no

business there. Do you see?" He was still
smiling in the most amiable manner.
" I am sure If I had known'
" 'Well, then, you know now And if
you ever put your foot over that thres
hold again' here In an Instant the smile
hardened Into a grin of rage and he glared
down at me with the face of a demon
'I'll throw you to the mastiff."
"I was so terrified that I do not know
what I did. I suppose thnt I must have
rushed past him Into my room. I remem
ber nothing until I found myself lying on
my bed trembling all over. Then I thought
of you Mr. Holmes. I could not live there
longer without some advice. I was fright
ened of the house, of the man. of the
woman, of the servants, even of the child.
They were all horrible to me. If I could
only bring you down all would be well.
Of course, I might have fled from tho
house, but my curiosity was almost as
strong as my fears. My mind was soon
made up. I would send you a wire. I put
on my hat and cloak, went down to the
office, which Is about half a mile from the
house, and then returned, feeling very
much easier. A horrible doubt came Into
my mind as I approached the door lest the
dog might be loose, but I remembered
that Toller had trunk himself Into ft state
of Insensibility that evening, and I knew
that Toller had drunk himself Into a state
hold who had any influence with the savage
creature or who would venture to set him
free. I slipped in In safety, and lay awake
half the night in my Joy at the thought of
seeing you. I had no difficulty In getting
leave to come Into Winchester this morn
ing, but I must be back before 3 o'clock,
for Mr. and Mrs. Rueastle are going on
a visit and will be away all evening, so
that I must look after the child. Now Ihave
told you all my adventures, Mr. Holmes,
and I should be very glad If you could tell
me what It all means, and, above all, what
I should do."
Holmes and I had listened spellbound to
this extraordinary story. My friend rose
now and paced tip and down the room, his
hands In his pockets and an expression of
the most profound gravity upon his face.
"Is Toller still drunk?'" he asked.
"Yes. I heard his wife tell Mrs. Ru
eastle that she could do nothing with him."
"That is well. And the Rucastles go out
tonight?"
"Yes."
"Is titers -a cellar with a good strong
lock?"
"Yes, the wine cellar."
"You seem to have acted nil through this
matter like a very brave and sensible girl.
Miss Hunter. Do you think that you could
perform one more feat? I should not ask
It of you If I did not think you a quite ex
ceptional woman."
"I will try. What Is It?"
"We shall be at the Copper Beeches by
7 o'clock, my friend and I. The Rucastles
will be gone by that time, and Toller will,
we hope, be Incapable. There only re
mains Mrs. Toller, who might give the
alarm. If you could send her Into the cellar
on some errand and then turn the key
upon her you would facilitate matters Im
mensely." "I will do it."
"Kxcellent! We shall then look thor
oughly Into the affair. Of course, there Is
only one feasible explanation. You have
been brought there to personate some one,
and the real person Is Imprisoned in this
chamber. That is obvious. As to who this
prisoner Is I have no doubt that It is the
daughter, Miss Alice Rueastle, If I remem
ber right, who was said to have gone to
America. You were chosen, doubtless, as
resembling her In height, figure and the
color of your hair. Hers had been cut off,
very possibly In some Illness through which
she had passed, and so, of course, yours
had to be i sacrificed also. By a curious
chance you came upon her tresses. The
man in the road was, undoubtedly, some
friend of, hers possibly her fiance and no
doubt, as you wore the girl's dress and
was so like her, he was convinced from
your laughter, whenever he saw you, and
afterward from your gesture, that Miss Ru
eastle was perfectly happy and that she no
longer desired his attentions. The dog Is
let loose at night to prevent him from en
deavoring to communicate with her. So
much la fairly clear. The most serious
point in the case Is the disposition of the
child."
"What on earth has that to do with It?"
I ejaculated.
"My dear Watson, you as a medical man
are continually gaining light as to the ten
dencies of a child by the study of the par
ents. Don't you see that the converse la
equally valid? I have frequently gained
my first real insight Into the character of
parents by studying their children. This
child's disposition Is abnormally cruel,
merely for cruelty's sake, and whether he
derives this from his smiling father, as I
should suspect, or from the mother, It
bodes evil for the poor girl who Is In their
power."
"I am sure that you are right, Mr.
Holmes," cried our client. "A thousand
things come back to me which make me
certain that you hit It. Oh, let us lose not
an Instant in bringing help to this poor
creature."
"We must be circumspect, for we are deal
ing with a very cunning man. We can do
nothing until 7 o'clock. At that hour we
shall be with you. and it will not be long
before we solve the mystery."
We were as good as our word, for It was
Just 7 o'clock when we reached the Copper
Beeches, having put up our trap at a way
side publlo house. The group of trees, with
their dark leaves shining Ilk burnished
metal in the light of the setting sun, were
sufficient to mark the house even had Miss
Hunter not been standing smiling on the
doorstep.
'Have you managed It?" asked Holmes.
A loud thudding noise came from some
where downstairs. "That Is Mrs. Toller in
the cellar," said she. "Her husband lies
snoring on the kitchen rug. Here are the
keys, which are the duplicates of Mr.
Rucastles."
"You have done well. Indeed!" cried
Holmes with enthusiasm. "Now lead the
way and we shall soon see the end of this
black business."
We passed up the stair, unlocked the
door, followed on down a passage and
found ourselves In front of the barricade
which Miss Hunter had described. Holmes
cut the cord and removed the transverse
bar. Then he tried the various keys in the
lock, but without success. No sound came
from within, and at the silence HolmesV
face clouded over.
"I trust that we are not too late." said
he. "I think. Miss Hunter, that w had
better go in without you. Now, Watson,
put your shoulder to It, and we shall see
whether we cannot make our way In."
It was an old rickety door, and gave at
once before our united strength. Together
we rushed Into the room. It was empty.
There was no furniture save a little pallet
bed, a small table and a basketful of llnon.
The skylight above was open and the pris
oner gone.
"There has been some villainy here," said
Holmes; "this beauty has guessed Miss
Hunter's Intention, and has carried his
victim off."
"But how?"
"Through the skylight. We shall soon
see how he managed It." He swung him
self up onto the roof. "Ah. yea," he cried;
"here's the end of a long light ladder
against the eaves. That Is how he did It."
"But it is Impossible," said Miss Hunter;
"the ladder was not thers when th Ru
castles went away."
"He has come back and done It. I tell you
that h is a clever and dangerous wan-
I should not be very much surprised If this
were he whose step I hear now upon the
stair. I think. Watson, that It would be
as well for you to have your pistol ready."
The words were hardly out of his mouth
before a man appeared at the door of the
room, a very fat and burly man, with a
heavy stick In his hand. Miss Hunter
screamed and shrunk against the wall at the
sight of him, but Sherlock Holmes sprang
forward and confronted him.
"You villlan!" said he, "Where's your
daughter?"
The fat mnn cast his eyes round, and
then up at the open skylight.
"It Is fo me to ask you that." he
shrieked, "you thieves! Spies and thieves!
I have caught you, have caught you, have
I? You are In my power. I'll serve you!"
He turned and clattered down the stairs
as hard as he could go.
"He's gone for the dog!" cried Miss
Hunter.
"I have my revolver," said I.
"Better close the front door," cried
Holmes, and we all rushed down the stairs
together. We had hardly reached the hall
when we heard the baying of a hound and
then a scream of agony, with a horrible
worrying sound which it was dreadful to
listen to. An elderly man with ft red face
and shaking limbs came staggering out at
a side door.
"My aod!" he cried. "Some one has
loosed the dog. It's not been fed for two
days. Quick, quick, or It'll be too late!"
Holmes and I rushed out and round the
angle of the house, with Toller hurrying
behind us. There was the huge famished
brute, Its black muzzel burled In Rucastle's
throat, while he writhed and screftmed
upon the ground. Running up, I blew Its
brains out. and It fell over with Its keen
white teeth still meeting in the great
creases of his neck. With much labor we
separated them, and carried him, living
but horribly mangled, into the house. We
laid him upon the drawing-room sofa, and
having dispatched the sobered Toller to
bear the news to his wife, I did what I
could to relieve his pain. We were all as
sembled round him when the door opened
and a. tall, gaunt woman entered the room,
"Mrs. Toller!" cried Miss Hunter.
"Yes, miss, Mr. Rueastle let me out when
he came back before he went up to you.
Ah, miss, it Is a pity yau didn't let me
know what you were planning, for I would
have told you that your pains were
wasted."
"Ha!"' said Holmes, looking keenly at
her. "It is clear that Mrs. Toller knows
more about this matter than any one else."
"Yes, sir, I do, and I am ready enough
to tell what I know."
"Then, pray sit down and let us hear It,
for there are several points on which I
must confess that I am still in the dark."
"I will soon make it clear to you," said
she; "and I'd have done so before now if I
could ha' got out from the cellar. If there's
police court business over this, you'll re
member that I was the one that stood
your friend and that I was Miss Alice's
friend, too.
"She was never happy at home. Miss
Alice wasn't, fron. the time that her father
married again. She was slighted like, and
had no say in anything, but It never really
became bad for her until after she met
Mr. Fowler at a friend's house, As well
as I could learn, Miss Alice had rights of
her own by will, but she was so quiet and
patient, she was, that she never said a
word about them, but Just left everything
In Mr. Rucastle's hands. He knew he was
safe with her; but when there was a chance
of a husband coming forward, who would
ask for all that the law would give him,
then her father thought it time to put a
stop on It. He wanted her to sign a paper,
so that whether she married or not, he
could use her money. When she wouldn't
do It he kept on worrying her until she
got brain fever, and for six weeks was at
death's door. Then she got better at last,
all worn to a shadow, and with her beau
tiful hair cut off; but that didn't make no
change in her young man and he stuck to
her as true as man could be."
"Ah," said Holmes. "I think that what
you have been good enough to tell us
makes the matter fairly clear, and that I
can deduce all that remains. Mr. Rueastle
then, I presume, took to this system of
Imprisonment?"
"Yes. sir."
"And brought Miss Hunter down from
London in order to get rid of the disagree
able persistence of Mr. Fowler."
"That was it, sir."
"But Mr. Fowler, being a persevering
man, as a good seaman should be, block
aded the house, and, having met you, suc
ceeded by certain arguments, metallic or
otherwise, In convincing you that your In
terests were the same as his."
"Mr. Fowler was a very kind-spoken,
free-handed gentleman," said Mrs. Toller,
serenely.
"And In this way he managed that your
good man should have no want of drink,
and thai a ladder should be ready at the
moment when your master had gone out."
"You have It, sir, Just aa It happened."
"I am sure we owe you an apology, Mrs.
Toller," said Holmes, "for you have cer
tainly cleared up everything which puisled
us. And here comes the country surgeon
and Mrs. Rueastle, so I think, Watson,
that we had best escort Miss Hunter back
to Winchester, as It seems to me that
our locus standi now Is rathsr a question
able one. ' ,
And thus was seolved the mystery of the
sinister house with the copper beeches In
front of the door. Mr. Rueastle survived,
but was always a broken man, kept alive
solely through the car of his devoted
wife. They still live with their old serv
ants, who probably know so much of Ru
castle's past life that he finds it difficult
to part from them. Mr. Fowler and Miss
Rueastle were married by special license
In Southampton the day after their flight,
and he is now the holder of a government
appointment in the Island of Mauritius.
Aa to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend
Holmes, rather to my dlsapointment, mani
fested no further Inter.est in her when
once she had ceased to be the center of
one of his problems, and she It now the
head of a private school at Walsall, where
I believe that she has met with consider
able success.
