A Strange Drawing
One moruing. Sherlock Holmes hand ed m e a shee:
ofpaper.
"Look, Watson," he said. "Can you e xplain this
problem?"
I looked at the papero To my su r p rise, it w as
covcred wíth a line of strange pictures . These pictures
looked like little dancing meno
"A child must have drawn these, " I said. "Where
did yau gel this piece of paper, Holmes?"
"It arrived in the rnail this morning," answcred
Holm es , "A man namcd Hilton Cubitt, of Ridling
Thorpe Manar in Norfolk, sent it to me. Mr, Cubitt is
coming to see me today.
"There's somcone ringing the doorbcll, Watson.
Perhaps that ' s Mr. Cubitt now. "
A mornent later, a tal1 gentleman entered the
room. He had a handsorne face with clear, blue eyes,
and looked very strong and healthy.
This gentleman sh ock hand s with both of uso
Sudd onlv, he cau ght sight of the s'range drawings.
"He res a mystery, Mr. H olrnes," he said. "What
do you think of these drawings?"
"The)' 100k like children' s drawings," replied
r íolmes. "Bu t why do you think they are irnportant?"
"1 don't, Mr. Holmes. Bul these drnwings are
making my wifc ve ry scarCLl. That's why I have come
to see you. I want to hnd out what they mean."
Holme~ heldJp thc pnper so that the sunlight
sh one through ít . It was a page torn fram a notebook
and the mar kings on it looked like this:
Holmes examined th e paper carefully. Then he
folded it up and put it in his pocket
"I h is is a most interesting and unll sual case, Mr.
Cubitt," he said. "Piease tell us your story trom the
beginning."

Mr, Cubitt's Story
" l'rn not very good at tellíng s to ri es ." said Mr.
Cubitt, "But first, 1 want to explain something.
"Im not rich, but 1 come from a very old and
well-known family. My family has lived at Ridling
Thorpe Manor, in Norfolk, for nearlv five hundred
ycars.
"Last year, w h ile 1 w as vi siting London, I m et
an American lady narned Eisie Patrick. Flsie and 1
became ír ie n ds and 5000 fell in lovc. 1 didn't kn ow
anything about Elsies family or her past IHe. But I
decided to ask her to m arry me.
"The day before our wedding, Elsie spoke to
me. ' Ive had sorne very sad ihín gs happen to m e in
my past life, Hílton. I've done nothing wrong, but 1
wish to forget rny pasto Please promise m e you wiJI
never ask me anything about it . If you are unable to
make this prornise, then please go back to Norfolk
and leave me.'
"So 1 prornised Elsic 1 would never as k h e r
anything about her past life. We'vc been married
for a year now and we've been very happy. Dur in g
all this time, I've kept my promise. But ene day,
ab out a month ago, my w ífe rc ceived a letter Irom
America - 1 saw rhc American stamp. She reaJ the
letter and her fa ce turn ed white. Then s he threw
the letter in the fire .
"She s aid nothlng, but from that time, thcre' S
been a look of fear on her face.
"Mr. Holmes, my wjfe is a very gúod wúman.
I'm sure she has nut done anything w:rong in her
past li fe.
"But Elsie k.nows I am ver)' proud of roy famiJy.
My family' s long histúry is ver y important to
me. She would never do anything tú upset me.
Perhaps that's the reason she's afraid to tell me h er
troubJes."
"Please go on," sa id I lolmes.
"Wel1," continued Mr. Cubitt, "yesterday
morning, a strange thing happened . 1 found th is
piece of paper lying on the su ndial in the garuen.
At fi-st, 1 thought it was a childs drawing.
"But when 1 showed the paper to Elsic. she
fainted . Since then, she has seerned likc som eon e in
a dream, and there is terror in her e ye ~.
"1 didnt know what to do. ir 1 took the papel'
to the police, they would laugh at me. So 1 carne to
you. Mr. I lolrnes, please help me. l'rn n ot rich, but
1'1: spend all my maney to protect m y wifc from
danger."
1 was sorry íor Mr. Cubitt. He was a good man
and 1 saw tnat he loved his wi íc very mucho
Holmes did not speak for s orne time .
"Mr, Cubitt, don't you think," he said at last,
"y o u should ask your wife to tell yo u everything?"
"But 1 prornised Elsic 1 would never ask her
about her past," replied Hilton Cubitt. "H she wants
lo tel1 me sorneth íng, she will. But 1 will not ask her
to tell me."
"l/aun.d this píece of pnper /ying 011 the sundial. "
'TII be happy to help you," sOlid Holmes.
"J believe thel'e is a mcaning in the pktures of the
dancing men o But 1 need more informaban befo re r
can say what it is,
"Co back to Norfolk. If thcrc are any more
pictures of dancing men, makc a capy of them for
me. If an ythíng irnportant hanpens. I'll come to
Norfolk at once ."

Mr. Cubitt's Second Visit
During the next few davs, Holrncs was very quieto
Sevcral times he looked at the paper with che dancing
figures on it.
Then one afternoon, about two weeks later,
we had another visit from Mr. Cubitt. He seem ed
worried and tíred.
"My wife hasn't told me anyth..ing yet, Mr.
Holmcs," he said. "But I havo more pictures of
dancing men and - more ímportanrly -l've seen the
man who draws them.
"But 1'11 tell you evcrything that has h appencd.
The morning afte r [ visited you, 1 found another fine
of dancing meno -¡h ey were drawn with chalk on
the toolhouse whi ch stands in the gard en, near th""
house. J rnade this copy."
Hilton Cubitt unfolded <J papel' and laid it ori the
table o
"Excellenl!" cried Holrnes. " Pleasc go on .'
"After I' d made the copy," continued MI'. Cubitt,
"1 cleaned off the rnarks. But two days later, another
drawing appcared. Here it is:
Holmes was delighted .
" Wc' re beginning lo gel a lot of information," he
said .
"1 decíded to find out who was drawinz these
pictures," went on Hilton CubitL "So the next night,
1 took my gun and sal beside a window w hich looks
out anto the garden.
"Al about two o'dock in th e moming, roy wife
came into the room . She was wearing her night
clothes . Sh e ask ed me lo come to bed. Bu t 1 refused.
' No, flsie,' 1 s<Jid. '1 \vant to see wha i5 drawing
these pictures. '
"Suddenly, 1 saw Elsie's face turn very white in
the moonlight. She ,vas looking out of the wíndow.

man was gane.
"A dark figure carne slO1.ul,V around the comer of me

"On the toolhousc door was thc sarne drawing
copied befare:
" 1 '.ooked everywhere, but 1 couldn't find the
mun. However/ ¡,1 the morning, when r looked nt lhe
toolhouse door again/ 1 saw a second k1e of dancing
meno This new line is very short, but 1 made a copy
and here it is."
Hilton Cllbitt gave another piece of paper to
Holmes .
74 The Dancing Men
1 could see thaí Hornes was vcry excite d .
"Tell me," he said, "was this second linc of figu res
sepárate from the first?"
"It w us on a different part of ihe door, "
"Excel lont!" cried Holmes. "This last draw ing
is very irnportant. It rnakes me fec : hopeful. Please
continue your interesting story."
"I 'vc got no thing more to say," rcpl ied Hilton
Cubítt, "exce pt, 1 was angry with Elsie íor holding
me back, I'rn sure she knO\VS who this man is and
what these picrures mean.
"Now I mu s ! go back to Norfolk. Elsie is
very scarcd. and 1 don 'I w unt to leave her alone at
nigh.."
"Wcll." said Ho.rnes, "plea se leave these píctures
with me. 1 will examine them carefully, 1 th in k ('JI be
able to salve the mvstery soon."

Terrible News
As soon as Hilton Cubitt le ft the room, Holrnes ran
to a table, He put all thc papers with pictures of
dancing rncn on the table. He began to examine thern
carcfully.
For the ncxt LWO hours, Holmes workeo hard
exammmg the papcrs. Al last, he jurr- ped up
e xcitedly. Then he sat down again and wrote out a
long telegram .
"As soon as we get an answer to this telegram,
Watson," he said, "we'Il visit Mr, Cubitt in Norfolk. 1
have sorne importan! information for him."
1 was very cu r io u s abour the te leg ram . 1 very
much wanted to know what Holmes had found out
about the meaning of the dancing meno But 1 didn't
r
ask any qucstions, 1 knew Holmes wou ld tell me
when he was ready.
Two day- passcd. Then on the evening of the
secon d day, Holmcs received another letter frorn
Hilton Cubitt.
In this letter, MI'. Cubitt said he had found a new
dra,wing oi dancing meno He had found the drawi :lg
lhal morning, o.n the sundial in the garden . Mr. Cubitt
had made a copy of the dral;\ling in his lelter :
 Holmes exa m in ed thcse p ictures carefu Ily.
Sud denl y, he jurnped up.
"We must go to Norfolk at once, Watson," he said,
At that mornent, a telegrarn arrived for Holmes.
It was th e answer he had been waiting tor, Holmes
read the telegram and hís face Iooked sorious .
"Mr, Cub itt is in terrible danger," he said.
" He needs our help ."
But, untortunately, we were not able to go to
NorfoJk that ev ening. Ir VI/[J$ late and the last train
had gone. The next tra in wa s not until the morning.
;,11 the morning, wc travsled to Norfolk . At the station,
we askcd our way to RidJing 'ihorp e Manor,
"Are YOL the detectives from London?" the
statior-master asked.
" \I\' 11y do you think wc are detectives from
London ?" asked Holmes in surprise,
"Because the No rfolk pollee are already on their
way lo Rid ling Thorpe Manor ,' said the stationmaster.
"But pcrha ps )'ou are doctors? The lady isn't dead
yet. You roa)' be in eme to savc her Iife.'
Ho lrnes lookecl very worried .
"What d o you mean?" he askcd. "\Vhat has

"' \'s terrible ne\'\:"," replied the stationmaster.
"Bo th Mr. Hilton Cubitt and rus wift:'ha ve been shot.
Mr. Cubitt is dead and his \",ife is seriously ;:1íurcd ."
5 Wc couldn't leave her lyin g jn.jured on lhe flúo r."
The Investigation Begins
Al oncc, Holmes hurried to a carriage. During the
journcy to Ridling Thorpe Manor, he did nol speélk
at al 1. 8 u t 1 couJd see he wa ~ ver y worried.
Holmes had known th at HiJton Cubitt WilS in
danger. Bu t he had no! arr ived in time to save his
c!ient.
Al last, we could see a large, old hOllse through
the trees. This was Ridl ing Thorpe Manor. As we
ca me near th e fron l door, r saw the toolhouse and the
::'clndial in the garden. These were the podces vvhere
Hilton Cubitt had fou nd p ictu re s of d<lnc;ng meno
A carríage was s tand in g ou tsidc the front door and
::"l small man was getting ou t. This man i¡ürociuced
himself as Inspector M artín of the Norfolk pollee .
Holmes ín trodu ced hi mself to Ins pecto r Martin.
ln~pector Martin \vas very surprised hhen he
h eard my friend's mOle.
"But, Mr. Holmes," he said, " th e crime was
comrnitted only a few hours ago, at three oclock
this morning! How did you gel here from London
so quickly?"
"When r left London. 1 didn't know a crime had
bcen cornmitted." replied Holmes, 'Ir was 011 my \Val'
to herc to prevent a crime, But l've arrived too late,
"Now, Inspector Martin, should we work together
on this investigation? Or do you want to work alone?"
"I'd be very happy to work wíth you." replied the
inspector.
"Cood." said Holrncs. "Then let's try to fín d out
what happened."
Al that mornent, the doctor, an old, white-haircd
rnan, carne downstairs trom Mrs. Cubitt's room . The
doctor said the lady was very badly injurcd, b ut that
she would not die.
The bullet which wounded Mrs. Cubitt h ad gone
into her brain. The gun which fired '.'lC bullet had
becn very clo se to her. Hilton Cubitl: had been shot
through the heart.
A gl1n had been found lyin g halfway between rhe
two bodies. Two sho ts had been fircd frorn the gun.
But we dio not know if Mrs , Cubitt had shot her
hl1sband first, and then shot he"sc1f, ol' if Mr. CuiJitt
had sho t rus wife, and then killed himself.
"Has Mr. Cubitt's body been mo ved?" askcd
Holmes.
"No," replied the doctor. " We h.:ld to move the lady.
"Who found the body?"
"Two of the servants," said the doctor.
"Then let's hear lheir story," said Hollnes.
rhe two women told their stor)' very dearly. They
had been awal<ened from their sleer by a loud noi se,
A minute later, the y heard another noíse.
Both women ran downstairs from their rooros.
7 he Joor of a downst<lirs room was open and Mr.
Cubitt la y dead on the floor.
Near the window, his wHe was sitting with her
head <Igainst 'he wall. One side of her face was red

vVhen he arrivcd, they carried Mrs. Cubitt upstairs.
The !::>ervant~ did not undcrstand why th e crime

Mr. Cubiit ¡ay dead on theftoor. HI:Sw ife was sittillg unlh

"Tell me," said Holmes, "when did you first notice
the smcl l af gunpawder?"
"When we ran out of our roorns upstairs," replied
the women.
"Good," said Holmes, "Now lets examine the
room downstairs."
6 \AJe all went outside into the garden. There were
Holmes Sends a Note
Th e room was small, with a window la oking anta
che garden . Mr. Cubill'S body lay on the flúor.
"You can take away the body now/' said Holmes.
Then, he tumed to the doctor. "Huve you found the
bullet which injured Mrs. Cubitt?" he asked.
"No," replied the doctor. "7he bullet is still
somewhere in her brain . We will have to operate to
re!na ve the bullet."
"\Ve know that two bullets wcre fired from (he
gun," said Inspector Martín. "And we ~"now wherc
each bu llet went. One bullet killed MI'. Cubitt and
the other injured his wifc.'
"Yes." said Holmes, "but what about the third
bu llct - the bullct which pa ssed through the window
frarne ?"
He turncd sud d e n ly and pointed to a hole in the
bottom 01 the window frarne.This hole was the exact
shape and size of él bullct.
"Wonderful!" cried Inspector Martin. "T he n three
shots were fired, not two. A third person was in thc
room .
"But, MI'. Holmes, how did YOl1 know a bullet load
passed tbrough the window trame?"
"WelJ," said Holmes, "you rernernber that the
two servants smelled gunp o w d er as soon as they left
thci r rooms?"
"Yes," said the Inspector, "but 1 still don't
understand ."
"The servants' roorns are upstairs, But the gun
was fired downstairs. So the srnell of the gunpowder
must have been blown frorn this room to the rooms
upstairs. Therefore, the window must have been
open.
"A third person could have stood outside the
window and fired through it. H sornebody ínside
the room fired at this person and missed, the bullct
would pass through the window trame."
"1 understand," said Inspector Martín. "But when
the servants cntered thi s room, they said the window
was shut."
"That was because Mrs. Cubitt had just shut it,'
replied Holmes, " Bu t what's thi s?"
A lady's handbag was standing on a small table,
1 saw it was full o' money. The money wa s tied
together. \Ve counted twenty fiúy-p ou n d rotes.
"This money is irnnortant evidence," sa id Holmes.
"An d now le t's find out where the third bullet wen.,
after it passed through the window trame.'
flowers planted underneath the window. The fJowers
weTe broken and there were largc foot ;:>éints on the
ground.
Holmes searched in the g :· ,l ~~. Sudd enly he bent
forw a rd and picked something up. It was the missing
bu [!et.
"T think, Inspector," he said, " tha t our case is
almost soJved. "

 "But, Mr. Holrncs, " said the Inspector, "who was
this o the r person and how did he get away?"
"1 will tell you later," said Holmcs. " Firs t, 1 want
lo know Ji there is a place near nere called Elrigcs?"
We asked the servants, but none of them had ever
heard the narne, Then the boy who worked with
'che horses remcmbered a farm with that narne, This
farm was a very lonel y place, man)' mil es away, ncar
a village called East Rushton.
H olrnes thougr.t for a rnorncnt, then he smi led
strangely.
"Bríng a horse." he said to the boy. "1 want you to
t.ike a rnessage to Elrige's Tarm."
Then Hol rnes took from his pocket all the papers
with th c p ictures of the dancing m en on them . He
sat down at atable and worked carefully, Fínally, he
handed a note to the boy.
"Give th is note to the person whose n amc is
