believe; 

     ;Silence�     �Sit down� ─      �I obeyed。 

     ;You have condemned yourself�察─�he went on pitilessly。                   ;Condemned 

yourself on my processes��processes familiar to you�察�applauded by  you�察�

accepted by you for years�           �We will go back to the time when you first 

saw the cigar case。        Your expressions�察─�he said in cold�察�deliberate tones�察�

consulting his paper�察�were�察�'How beautiful�               �I wish it were mine。'        This 

was   your   first   step   in   crimeand   my  first   indication。  From  'I   WISH   it 

were mine' to 'I WILL have it mine��' and the mere detail�察�'HOW CAN I 

make      it  mine��'   the   advance    was    obvious。     Silence�      �But    as   in  my 

methods       it  was    necessary     that   there    should    be    an   overwhelming 

inducement   to   the   crime�察  �that   unholy   admiration   of   yours   for   the   mere 

trinket itself was not enough。         You are a smoker of cigars。; 

     ;But�察─  �I   burst   out   passionately�察   �I   told   you   I   had   given   up   smoking 

cigars。; 

     ;Fool� ─�he said coldly�察 �that is the SECOND time you have committed 

yourself。     Of   course   you   told   me�    �What   more   natural   than   for   you   to 

blazon     forth   that   prepared     and    unsolicited    statement     to   PREVENT 

accusation。      Yet�察�as I said before�察�even that wretched attempt to cover up 

your    tracks   was    not   enough。     I   still  had  to  find   that  overwhelming�察�

impelling motive necessary to affect a man like you。 That motive I found 

in   the   strongest   of   all   impulsesLove�察  �I   suppose   you   would   call   it�察─  �he 

added     bitterly�察   �that   night   you    called�    �You     had    brought    the   most 

conclusive proofs of it on your sleeve。; 

     ;But; I almost screamed。 

     ;Silence� ─�he thundered。          ;I know what you would say。             You would 

say that even if you had embraced some Young Person in a sealskin coat�察�

what   had   that   to   do   with   the   robbery�拭 �Let   me   tell   you�察  �then�察  �that   that 

sealskin      coat   represented      the   quality    and    character    of   your    fatal 

entanglement�        �You bartered your honor for itthat stolen cigar case was 

the purchaser of the sealskin coat� �

     ;Silence�     �Having thoroughly established your motive�察�I now proceed 

to   the   commission      of  the   crime    itself。  Ordinary      people    would    have 

begun     with   thatwith    an   attempt    to  discover    the  whereabouts       of  the

missing object。       These are not MY methods。; 

     So   overpowering   was   his   penetration   that�察  �although   I   knew   myself 

innocent�察�I  licked   my  lips   with   avidity  to   hear  the  further details   of this 

lucid exposition of my crime。 

     ;You committed that theft the night I showed you the cigar case�察�and 

after I had carelessly thrown it in that drawer。               You were sitting in that 

chair�察�and I had arisen to take something from that shelf。                 In that instant 

you secured your booty without rising。 Silence�                �Do you remember when 

I   helped   you   on   with   your   overcoat   the   other   night�拭  �I   was   particular 

about   fitting   your   arm   in。   While   doing   so   I   measured   your   arm   with   a 

spring tape measure�察�from the shoulder to the cuff。                 A later visit to your 

tailor    confirmed     that   measurement。        It   proved    to   be   THE     EXACT 

DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR CHAIR AND THAT DRAWER� ─�

     I sat stunned。 

     ;The rest are mere corroborative details�              �You were again tampering 

with   the   drawer   when   I   discovered   you   doing   so�     �Do   not   start�   �The 

stranger   that   blundered   into   the   room   with   a   muffler   onwas   myself� �

More�察�I had placed a little soap on the drawer handles when I purposely 

left you alone。      The soap was on your hand when I shook it at parting。                  I 

softly felt your pockets�察�when you were asleep�察�for further developments。 

I embraced you when you left that I might feel if you had the cigar case 

or   any   other   articles   hidden   on   your   body。   This   confirmed   me   in   the 

belief   that   you   had   already   disposed     of   it  in  the  manner    and   for  the 

purpose   I   have shown   you。       As   I   still   believed   you   capable   of   remorse 

and confession�察�I twice allowed you to see I was on your track�此�once in the 

garb   of   an   itinerant   negro   minstrel�察  �and   the   second   time   as   a   workman 

looking in the window of the pawnshop where you pledged your booty。; 

     ;But�察─�I burst out�察 �if you had asked the pawnbroker�察�you would have 

seen how unjust; 

     ;Fool� ─�he hissed�察 �that was one of YOUR suggestionsto search the 

pawnshops�        �Do   you   suppose   I   followed   any   of   your   suggestions�察  �the 

suggestions of the thief�拭       �On the contrary�察�they told me what to avoid。; 

     ;And   I   suppose�察─  �I   said   bitterly�察   �you   have   not   even   searched   your 

drawer�拭─�

     ;No�察─�he said calmly。 

     I was for the first time really vexed。        I went to the nearest drawer and 

pulled   it   out   sharply。  It   stuck   as   it   had   before�察  �leaving   a   part   of   the 

drawer     unopened。      By    working    it�察 �however�察   �I  discovered    that  it  was 

impeded by some obstacle that had slipped to the upper part of the drawer�察�

and   held   it   firmly   fast。 Inserting   my   hand�察  �I   pulled   out   the   impeding 

object。    It was the missing cigar case�         �I turned to him with a cry of joy。 

     But I was appalled at his expression。            A look of contempt was now 

added   to   his   acute�察  �penetrating   gaze。  ;I   have   been   mistaken�察─  �he   said 

slowly�察 �I had not allowed for your weakness and cowardice�                    �I thought 

too highly of you even in your guilt�            �But I see now why you tampered 

with that drawer the other night。          By some inexplicable meanspossibly 

another   theftyou   took   the   cigar   case   out   of   pawn   and�察  �like   a   whipped 

hound�察�restored it to me in this feeble�察�clumsy fashion。               You thought to 

deceive me�察�Hemlock Jones� �More�察�you thought to destroy my infallibility。 

Go�     �I   give   you   your   liberty。 I   shall   not   summon   the   three   policemen 

who wait in the adjoining roombut out of my sight forever� ─�

     As I stood once more dazed and petrified�察�he took me firmly by the ear 

and   led   me   into   the   hall�察  �closing   the   door   behind   him。 This   reopened 

presently�察  �wide   enough      to  permit   him   to  thrust   out  my   hat�察 �overcoat�察�

umbrella�察�and overshoes�察�and then closed against me forever� �

     I never saw him again。         I am bound to say�察�however�察�that thereafter 

my business increased�察�I recovered much of my old practice�察�and a few of 

my   patients   recovered   also。     I   became   rich。   I   had   a   brougham   and   a 

house     in  the  West    End。    But    I  often   wondered�察     �pondering     on  that 

wonderful       man's     penetration     and    insight�察  �if�察  �in   some    lapse    of 

consciousness�察�I had not really stolen his cigar case� �

purposes。       There was�察�of course�察�intermediate ancestry�察�notably a dead

twelve she was in love with John Galeonly son of Lord Gale�察�who was

John Gale turned away and went to Canada。                   Slight as the incident was�察�it 

showed that inborn chivalry to women�察�that desire for the Perfect Life�察�that 

intense     eagerness     to   incarnate    Christianity     in   modern      society�察  �which 

afterward   distinguished   him。         Golly   loved   him�       �For   all   that�察  �she   still
