Neither
dog
nor
cat
nor
monkey
nor
any
creature
that
we
are
familiar
with
.
I
have
tried
to
reconstruct
it
from
the
measurements
.
Here
are
four
prints
where
the
beast
has
been
standing
motionless
.
You
see
that
it
is
no
less
than
fifteen
inches
from
fore-foot
to
hind
.
Add
to
that
the
length
of
neck
and
head
,
and
you
get
a
creature
not
much
less
than
two
feet
long
--
probably
more
if
there
is
any
tail
.
But
now
observe
this
other
measurement
.
The
animal
has
been
moving
,
and
we
have
the
length
of
its
stride
.
In
each
case
it
is
only
about
three
inches
.
You
have
an
indication
,
you
see
,
of
a
long
body
with
very
short
legs
attached
to
it
.
It
has
not
been
considerate
enough
to
leave
any
of
its
hair
behind
it
.
But
its
general
shape
must
be
what
I
have
indicated
,
and
it
can
run
up
a
curtain
,
and
it
is
carnivorous
.
"
"
How
do
you
deduce
that
?
"
"
Because
it
ran
up
the
curtain
.
A
canary
's
cage
was
hanging
in
the
window
,
and
its
aim
seems
to
have
been
to
get
at
the
bird
.
"
"
Then
what
was
the
beast
?
"
"
Ah
,
if
I
could
give
it
a
name
it
might
go
a
long
way
towards
solving
the
case
.
On
the
whole
,
it
was
probably
some
creature
of
the
weasel
and
stoat
tribe
--
and
yet
it
is
larger
than
any
of
these
that
I
have
seen
.
"
"
But
what
had
it
to
do
with
the
crime
?
"
"
That
,
also
,
is
still
obscure
.
But
we
have
learned
a
good
deal
,
you
perceive
.
We
know
that
a
man
stood
in
the
road
looking
at
the
quarrel
between
the
Barclays
--
the
blinds
were
up
and
the
room
lighted
.
We
know
,
also
,
that
he
ran
across
the
lawn
,
entered
the
room
,
accompanied
by
a
strange
animal
,
and
that
he
either
struck
the
colonel
or
,
as
is
equally
possible
,
that
the
colonel
fell
down
from
sheer
fright
at
the
sight
of
him
,
and
cut
his
head
on
the
corner
of
the
fender
.
Finally
we
have
the
curious
fact
that
the
intruder
carried
away
the
key
with
him
when
he
left
.
"
"
Your
discoveries
seem
to
have
left
the
business
more
obscure
than
it
was
before
,
"
said
I.
"
Quite
so
.
They
undoubtedly
showed
that
the
affair
was
much
deeper
than
was
at
first
conjectured
.
I
thought
the
matter
over
,
and
I
came
to
the
conclusion
that
I
must
approach
the
case
from
another
aspect
.
But
really
,
Watson
,
I
am
keeping
you
up
,
and
I
might
just
as
well
tell
you
all
this
on
our
way
to
Aldershot
to-morrow
.
