Sherlock Holmes sprang from his chair with an exclamation of delight. "The last link," he cried, exultantly. "My case is complete." The two detectives stared at him in amazement.

allied so exactly with his own. There was, however, no trace of exultation or satisfaction upon his face. “Did you find nothing in the room which could furnish a clue to the murderer?” he asked. “Nothing. Stangerson had Drebber’s purse in his pocket, but it seems that this was usual, as he did all the paying. There was eighty odd pounds in it, but nothing had been taken. Whatever the motives of these extraordinary crimes, robbery is certainly not one of them. There were no papers or memoranda in the murdered man’s pocket, except a single telegram, dated from Cleveland about a month ago, and containing the words, ‘J. H. is in Europe.’ There was no name appended to this message.” “And there was nothing else?” Holmes asked. “Nothing of any importance. The man’s novel, with which he had read himself to sleep was lying upon the bed, and his pipe was on a chair beside him. There was a glass of water on the table, and on the window-sill a small chip ointment box containing a couple of pills.” ARING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MURDERER WHICH TALLIED SO EXACTLY WITH HIS OWN THERE WAS HOWEVER NO TRACE OF EXULTATION OR SATISFACTION UPON HIS FACE DID YOU FIND NOTHING IN THE ROOM WHICH COULD FURNISH A CLUE TO THE MURDERER HE ASKED NOTHING STANGERSON HAD DREPPER'S PURSE IN HIS POCKET BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS WAS USUAL AS HE DID ALL THE PAIN THERE WAS EIGHTY ODD POUNDS IN IT BUT NOTHING HAD BEEN TAKEN WHATEVER THE MOTIVES OF THESE EXTRAORDINARY CRIMES ROBBERY CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM THERE WERE NO PAPERS OR MEMORANDA IN THE MURDERED MAN'S POCKET EXCEPT A SINGLE TELEGRAM DATED FROM CLEVELAND ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND CONTAINING THE WORDS J H IS IN EUROPE THERE WAS NO NAME APPENDED TO THIS MESSAGE AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE HOLMES ASKED NOTHING OF ANY IMPORTANCE THE MAN'S NOVEL WITH WHICH HE HAD READ HIMSELF TO SLEEP WAS LYING UPON THE BED AND HIS PIPE WAS ON A CHAIR BESIDE HIM THERE WAS A GLASS OF WATER ON THE TABLE AND ON THE WINDOW SILL A SMALL CHIPOINT MUMP BOX CONTAINING A COUPLE OF PILLS
