It
was
but
a
glance
of
a
face
in
a
window
,
but
that
one
glance
told
him
that
Cleveland
in
Ohio
possessed
the
men
whom
he
was
in
pursuit
of
.
He
returned
to
his
miserable
lodgings
with
his
plan
of
vengeance
all
arranged
.
It
chanced
,
however
,
that
Drebber
,
looking
from
his
window
,
had
recognized
the
vagrant
in
the
street
,
and
had
read
murder
in
his
eyes
.
He
hurried
before
a
justice
of
the
peace
,
accompanied
by
Stangerson
,
who
had
become
his
private
secretary
,
and
represented
to
him
that
they
were
in
danger
of
their
lives
from
the
jealousy
and
hatred
of
an
old
rival
.
That
evening
Jefferson
Hope
was
taken
into
custody
,
and
not
being
able
to
find
sureties
,
was
detained
for
some
weeks
.
When
at
last
he
was
liberated
,
it
was
only
to
find
that
Drebber
's
house
was
deserted
,
and
that
he
and
his
secretary
had
departed
for
Europe
.
Again
the
avenger
had
been
foiled
,
and
again
his
concentrated
hatred
urged
him
to
continue
the
pursuit
.
Funds
were
wanting
,
however
,
and
for
some
time
he
had
to
return
to
work
,
saving
every
dollar
for
his
approaching
journey
.
At
last
,
having
collected
enough
to
keep
life
in
him
,
he
departed
for
Europe
,
and
tracked
his
enemies
from
city
to
city
,
working
his
way
in
any
menial
capacity
,
but
never
overtaking
the
fugitives
.
When
he
reached
St.
Petersburg
they
had
departed
for
Paris
;
and
when
he
followed
them
there
he
learned
that
they
had
just
set
off
for
Copenhagen
.
At
the
Danish
capital
he
was
again
a
few
days
late
,
for
they
had
journeyed
on
to
London
,
where
he
at
last
succeeded
in
running
them
to
earth
.
As
to
what
occurred
there
,
we
can
not
do
better
than
quote
the
old
hunter
's
own
account
,
as
duly
recorded
in
Dr.
Watson
's
Journal
,
to
which
we
are
already
under
such
obligations
.
Our
prisoner
's
furious
resistance
did
not
apparently
indicate
any
ferocity
in
his
disposition
towards
ourselves
,
for
on
finding
himself
powerless
,
he
smiled
in
an
affable
manner
,
and
expressed
his
hopes
that
he
had
not
hurt
any
of
us
in
the
scuffle
.
"
I
guess
you
're
going
to
take
me
to
the
police-station
,
"
he
remarked
to
Sherlock
Holmes
.
"
My
cab
's
at
the
door
.
If
you
'll
loose
my
legs
I
'll
walk
down
to
it
.
I
'm
not
so
light
to
lift
as
I
used
to
be
.
"
Gregson
and
Lestrade
exchanged
glances
as
if
they
thought
this
proposition
rather
a
bold
one
;
but
Holmes
at
once
took
the
prisoner
at
his
word
,
and
loosened
the
towel
which
we
had
bound
round
his
ancles
.
He
rose
and
stretched
his
legs
,
as
though
to
assure
himself
that
they
were
free
once
more
.
I
remember
that
I
thought
to
myself
,
as
I
eyed
him
,
that
I
had
seldom
seen
a
more
powerfully
built
man
;
and
his
dark
sunburned
face
bore
an
expression
of
determination
and
energy
which
was
as
formidable
as
his
personal
strength
.
"
If
there
's
a
vacant
place
for
a
chief
of
the
police
,
I
reckon
you
are
the
man
for
it
,
"
he
said
,
gazing
with
undisguised
admiration
at
my
fellow-lodger
.
"
The
way
you
kept
on
my
trail
was
a
caution
.
"
"
You
had
better
come
with
me
,
"
said
Holmes
to
the
two
detectives
.
"
I
can
drive
you
,
"
said
Lestrade
.
"
Good
!
and
Gregson
can
come
inside
with
me
.
You
too
,
Doctor
,
you
have
taken
an
interest
in
the
case
and
may
as
well
stick
to
us
.
"
I
assented
gladly
,
and
we
all
descended
together
.
Our
prisoner
made
no
attempt
at
escape
,
but
stepped
calmly
into
the
cab
which
had
been
his
,
and
we
followed
him
.
Lestrade
mounted
the
box
,
whipped
up
the
horse
,
and
brought
us
in
a
very
short
time
to
our
destination
.
We
were
ushered
into
a
small
chamber
where
a
police
Inspector
noted
down
our
prisoner
's
name
and
the
names
of
the
men
with
whose
murder
he
had
been
charged
.
The
official
was
a
white-faced
unemotional
man
,
who
went
through
his
duties
in
a
dull
mechanical
way
.
"
The
prisoner
will
be
put
before
the
magistrates
in
the
course
of
the
week
,
"
he
said
;
"
in
the
mean
time
,
Mr.
Jefferson
Hope
,
have
you
anything
that
you
wish
to
say
?
I
must
warn
you
that
your
words
will
be
taken
down
,
and
may
be
used
against
you
.
"
