“I must ask you first, My. Holmes, to
glance at this rough plan, which will
give you a general idea of the position

ous points or the case. It will help
you in following my investigation."
llc unfolded the rough chart. which-
I here reproduce, and he laid it across
Holmes’ knee. I rose and, standing be-
bind` Holmes, studied it over his shoul-
dur. ~
“It ls very rough, of course, and it on-
ly deals with the points which seem to
me to be essential. All the rest you
will sce later for yourself. Now, first
