How
about
the
fireplace
?
"
"
They
use
none
.
There
is
a
stove
.
The
bell-rope
hangs
from
the
wire
just
to
the
right
of
my
desk
.
Whoever
rang
it
must
have
come
right
up
to
the
desk
to
do
it
.
But
why
should
any
criminal
wish
to
ring
the
bell
?
It
is
a
most
insoluble
mystery
.
"
"
Certainly
the
incident
was
unusual
.
What
were
your
next
steps
?
You
examined
the
room
,
I
presume
,
to
see
if
the
intruder
had
left
any
traces
--
any
cigar-end
or
dropped
glove
or
hairpin
or
other
trifle
?

There
was
nothing
of
the
sort
.
"
"
No
smell
?
"
"
Well
,
we
never
thought
of
that
.

Ah
,
a
scent
of
tobacco
would
have
been
worth
a
great
deal
to
us
in
such
an
investigation
.
"
"
I
never
smoke
myself
,
so
I
think
I
should
have
observed
it
if
there
had
been
any
smell
of
tobacco
.
There
was
absolutely
no
clue
of
any
kind
.
The
only
tangible
fact
was
that
the
commissionaire
's
wife
--
Mrs.
Tangey
was
the
name
--
had
hurried
out
of
the
place
.
He
could
give
no
explanation
save
that
it
was
about
the
time
when
the
woman
always
went
home
.
The
policeman
and
I
agreed
that
our
best
plan
would
be
to
seize
the
woman
before
she
could
get
rid
of
the
papers
,
presuming
that
she
had
them
.
"
The
alarm
had
reached
Scotland
Yard
by
this
time
,
and
Mr.
Forbes
,
the
detective
,
came
round
at
once
and
took
up
the
case
with
a
great
deal
of
energy
.
We
hired
a
hansom
,
and
in
half
an
hour
we
were
at
the
address
which
had
been
given
to
us
.
A
young
woman
opened
the
door
,
who
proved
to
be
Mrs.
Tangey
's
eldest
daughter
.
Her
mother
had
not
come
back
yet
,
and
we
were
shown
into
the
front
room
to
wait
.
