It was my first visit to the scene of

the crime-a high, dingy, narrow chest- ed house, prim, formal and solid, like the century which gave it birth. Lo- 'strade’s bulldog features gazed out ai; us from the front window, spd he

ble had opened the door and let us ln. The room into which we were shown' was that ln which the crime had been committed, but nc trace of it now re- mained save an ugly, irregular stain upon the carpet. This carpet was s small square drugget in the center of the room, surrounded by a broad ex- panse of beautiful, old fashioned wood flooring in square blocks highly polish- ed. Over the fireplace was s magnld- cent trophy of weapons, one of' which' hnd been used on that traglc._nlght. In the window was a sumptuous writing desk, and every detail of the apart- nicut, the pictures, the rugs and the hanglngs, nil pointed to a taste which 'wus luxurious to the verge of edeml- nucy. - "Sccn the Paris news?" asked Ls-

strode.

Holmes nodded. ‘

touched the spot this time. No doubt it's just as they say. She knocked nt`

the door-surprise visit, I guess. for he , kept his life in water tight compart- ments-he let her ln, couldn't keep her ln the street. She told him bow she liud traced him, reprouched him; one tlilng led to another, :ind then with that dagger so handy the end soon came. It wasn'i: all done ln an instant, though, for these chairs were all swept over

yondcg, and he had one in his hand ns if he ad tried to hold her off with lt. We've got it all clear as if we had seen lt."

Holmes raised his eyebrows.

“And yet you have sent for me?"

"Ah, yes. that's another matter; a

“What is lt, then?" ."‘Woll, you know, after a crime ot this sort we are very careful to keep things in their position. Nothing has been moved. Odicer in charge hereday and sight. This morning, as the man was buried and the investigation over -so tar as this room is concerned-we thought _wo could tidy up a bit. This carpet-you see, it is not fastened laws; only :im isis aim. we has occasion to raise it. We found"-

"Yosl You found"- - Holmes’ face grew tense with anx- iety. ` -

"Well, Pm, sure you would never guess in a hundred' years what we did llnd., You see that stain on the car- pet? _Well; a great deal must have soaked through, must it not?"

“Undoubtedly it must.” "Weil, you will be surprised to hear

that _there ‘is no stain on the white woodwork to `corre'spond."

"No stain! But there must"- "Yes, so you would say. But the fact

remains that there isn’t."

He, took the corner of the carpet in

his liand, and, turning it over, he show- ed that it was indeed as be said.

“But't.he_ underside is as stained as

the upper.‘ It must have left u mark."

Lestrade chuckled with delight at

having puzzled the famous expert.

"Now, I'll show you the explanation.

Tliéfe ls' a second stain, but it does not correspond- Qth the other. See for yourself." Ari he spolro he turned over another portion of the carpet, and there, _sure enough, was a great crim- son splll upon thc .'=quci'c white facing of the old fahioncd door. “What do you make ot' that, liir. Holmes?"

"Why, it is simple enough. The two

stains did correspond, but the carpet has been turned round. As it was square and unfastened it was easily done.” ` '

“The official police don’t need you,

Mr. Holmes,-to tell them that the car- pet must have been turned rouu`d. 'l`hat's clear enough, for the stains lie ,
