What
has
he
done
,
then
?
"
"
His
career
has
been
an
extraordinary
one
.
He
is
a
man
of
good
birth
and
excellent
education
,
endowed
by
nature
with
a
phenomenal
mathematical
faculty
.
At
the
age
of
twenty-one
he
wrote
a
treatise
upon
the
binomial
theorem
,
which
has
had
a
European
vogue
.
On
the
strength
of
it
he
won
the
mathematical
chair
at
one
of
our
smaller
universities
,
and
had
,
to
all
appearances
,
a
most
brilliant
career
before
him
.
But
the
man
had
hereditary
tendencies
of
the
most
diabolical
kind
.
A
criminal
strain
ran
in
his
blood
,
which
,
instead
of
being
modified
,
was
increased
and
rendered
infinitely
more
dangerous
by
his
extraordinary
mental
powers
.
Dark
rumours
gathered
round
him
in
the
university
town
,
and
eventually
he
was
compelled
to
resign
his
chair
and
to
come
down
to
London
,
where
he
set
up
as
an
army
coach
.
So
much
is
known
to
the
world
,
but
what
I
am
telling
you
now
is
what
I
have
myself
discovered
.
"
As
you
are
aware
,
Watson
,
there
is
no
one
who
knows
the
higher
criminal
world
of
London
so
well
as
I
do
.
For
years
past
I
have
continually
been
conscious
of
some
power
behind
the
malefactor
,
some
deep
organizing
power
which
forever
stands
in
the
way
of
the
law
,
and
throws
its
shield
over
the
wrong-doer
.
Again
and
again
in
cases
of
the
most
varying
sorts
--
forgery
cases
,
robberies
,
murders
--
I
have
felt
the
presence
of
this
force
,
and
I
have
deduced
its
action
in
many
of
those
undiscovered
crimes
in
which
I
have
not
been
personally
consulted
.
For
years
I
have
endeavoured
to
break
through
the
veil
which
shrouded
it
,
and
at
last
the
time
came
when
I
seized
my
thread
and
followed
it
,
until
it
led
me
,
after
a
thousand
cunning
windings
,
to
ex-Professor
Moriarty
,
of
mathematical
celebrity
.
"
He
is
the
Napoleon
of
crime
,
Watson
.
He
is
the
organizer
of
half
that
is
evil
and
of
nearly
all
that
is
undetected
in
this
great
city
.
He
is
a
genius
,
a
philosopher
,
an
abstract
thinker
.
He
has
a
brain
of
the
first
order
.
He
sits
motionless
,
like
a
spider
in
the
centre
of
its
web
,
but
that
web
has
a
thousand
radiations
,
and
he
knows
well
every
quiver
of
each
of
them
.
He
does
little
himself
.
He
only
plans
.
But
his
agents
are
numerous
and
splendidly
organized
.
Is
there
a
crime
to
be
done
,
a
paper
to
be
abstracted
,
we
will
say
,
a
house
to
be
rifled
,
a
man
to
be
removed
--
the
word
is
passed
to
the
professor
,
the
matter
is
organized
and
carried
out
.
The
agent
may
be
caught
.
In
that
case
money
is
found
for
his
bail
or
his
detence
.
But
the
central
power
which
uses
the
agent
is
never
caught
--
never
so
much
as
suspected
.
This
was
the
organization
which
I
deduced
,
Watson
,
and
which
I
devoted
my
whole
energy
to
exposing
and
breaking
up
.
"
But
the
professor
was
fenced
round
with
safeguards
so
cunningly
devised
that
,
do
what
I
would
,
it
seemed
impossible
to
get
evidence
which
would
convict
in
a
court
of
law
.
You
know
my
powers
,
my
dear
Watson
,
and
yet
at
the
end
of
three
months
I
was
forced
to
confess
that
I
had
at
last
met
an
antagonist
who
was
my
intellectual
equal
.
My
horror
at
his
crimes
was
lost
in
my
admiration
at
his
skill
.
But
at
last
he
made
a
trip
--
only
a
little
,
little
trip
but
it
was
more
than
he
could
afford
,
when
I
was
so
close
upon
him
.
I
had
my
chance
,
and
,
starting
from
that
point
,
I
have
woven
my
net
round
him
until
now
it
is
all
ready
to
close
.
In
three
days
--
that
is
to
say
,
on
Monday
next
--
matters
will
be
ripe
,
and
the
professor
,
with
all
the
principal
members
of
his
gang
,
will
be
in
the
hands
of
the
police
.
Then
will
come
the
greatest
criminal
trial
of
the
century
,
the
clearing
up
of
over
forty
mysteries
,
and
the
rope
for
all
of
them
;
but
if
we
move
at
all
prematurely
,
you
understand
,
they
may
slip
out
of
our
hands
even
at
the
last
moment
.
"
Now
,
if
I
could
have
done
this
without
the
knowledge
of
Professor
Moriarty
,
all
would
have
been
well
.
But
he
was
too
wily
for
that
.
He
saw
every
step
which
I
took
to
draw
my
toils
round
him
.
Again
and
again
he
strove
to
break
away
,
but
I
as
often
headed
him
off
.
I
tell
you
,
my
friend
,
that
if
a
detailed
account
of
that
silent
contest
could
be
written
,
it
would
take
its
place
as
the
most
brilliant
bit
of
thrust-and-parry
work
in
the
history
of
detection
.
Never
have
I
risen
to
such
a
height
,
and
never
have
I
been
so
hard
pressed
by
an
opponent
.
He
cut
deep
,
and
yet
I
just
undercut
him
.
This
morning
the
last
steps
were
taken
,
and
three
days
only
were
wanted
to
complete
the
business
.
I
was
sitting
in
my
room
thinking
the
matter
over
when
the
door
opened
and
Professor
Moriarty
stood
before
me
.
"
My
nerves
are
fairly
proof
,
Watson
,
but
I
must
confess
to
a
start
when
I
saw
the
very
man
who
had
been
so
much
in
my
thoughts
standing
there
on
my
threshold
.
His
appearance
was
quite
familiar
to
me
.
He
is
extremely
tall
and
thin
,
his
forehead
domes
out
in
a
white
curve
,
and
his
two
eyes
are
deeply
sunken
in
his
head
.
