Chapter 1 Sherlock Holmes has a visitor when visitors came to see Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street they often did surprising things sometimes they put their heads in their hands and cried sometimes they talked and talked and couldn’t stop and sometimes they just sat there and didn’t say a word but nobody was more
Surprising than Dr thorny coft huxel he was a large Man Tall well-dressed and important looking he came into the room walked to one of the big chairs and suddenly fell into it he sat there with his eyes closed looking white and ill I ran to
Get some water for him then I got my doctor’s bag and looked at him carefully what is it Watson said Holmes heun all right I think I said he’s just very very tired and probably hungry too Holmes looked in the Man’s Pocket pockets and found a train ticket from mlon in the
North of England mlon that’s a long way said holes it’s not 12:00 yet so he probably left home before 5:00 this morning after a minute or two the man began to move and his eyes opened a second later he got quickly to his feet his face was Now red and
Unhappy Mr Holmes I am so sorry I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning that’s why I felt ill when you feel better I began I’m better now thank you said our visitor and I want very much to talk to Mr Holmes to ask him something
Please Mr Holmes come back to mlon with me by the next train I’m sorry that’s not possible said Holmes I’m working on two important cases the Farah case and the abeni case I cannot leave London at the moment important cases our visitor cried but this case is very important too you know
About the kidnapping of the son of the Duke of holderness three days ago what the government Minister yes that’s him so you didn’t know it’s not in the newspapers yet that’s true but Sherlock Holmes always hears news before other people I thought Holmes went to get one
Of his books and began to read the page about the Duke of holderness holderness sixth Duke wife Edith daughter of Lord gray one child Lord Arthur saltire houses in London Lancashire and Wales government Minister for this for that for the other well well said Holmes he’s
One of the greatest men in the country one of the greatest and one of the richest said Dr huxel I know Mr Holmes that you don’t work for money but I must tell you this the Duke is offering £5,000 for news of his son and another 1,000 for the name of his
Kidnapper that said Holmes is a most interesting offer he looked at me Watson I think we are going with Dr huxel back to the north of England this afternoon Holmes then looked at Dr huxel now sir tell me everything what happened when did it happen how did it happen and
Why does Dr thorny coft huble come to ask for my help 3 Days Later our visitor drank some water and began his story chapter 2 Dr huxtable’s story my school the prior school near mlon is the best school for young boys in England began Dr huxel we have the
Sons of Lord SS Lord lever and of many other important people three weeks ago Mr James Wilder the Duke of holder’s secretary came to see me the Duke he said wanted to send his son the 10-year-old Lord salty to my school on the 1st of May young Lord saltire
Arrived he’s a nice boy and he soon began to like school life and to make friends his life at home you see was not very happy we all know about the Duke and his wife The Duchess of course now lives in the south of France she left the Duke about
3 months ago I think but the boy loved his mother and was very unhappy when she left because of this the Duke sent him to my school and after two weeks with us he was much happier then on the night of the 13th of May he disappeared the way
To his bedroom is through another larger room two older boys sleep there one of them never sleeps very well and he heard and saw nothing that night so young Arthur did not go out through that room his window was open and there is Ivy all
Up the wall of the house it is easy to get out of the window and down the ivy to the ground so we think that he went out that way he was in his usual school things we think a short black coat and dark blue trousers we looked all through
His room very carefully but we found nothing strange nothing unusual when I learned the news at 7:00 on Tuesday morning I called everybody into the big school room then we learned more bad news haiger the German teacher was missing too his room is not far from Arthur’s room haiger went down the ivy
We know this because we found his footprints on the ground under the window we know too that he was only in his coat trousers and shoes because we found his shirt and his socks on the floor of his room and he took his bicycle with him haiger came to the
School a year ago he’s a good teacher but the boys don’t like him because he isn’t very friendly so Mr Holmes we have two missing people it’s now Thursday and there’s still no news of them Holmes took out a little notebook and began to write things down the boy didn’t go home
Of course he said no no we asked at holderness Hall at once said Dr huxel the Duke is very afraid for his son and I am the unhappiest man in England Mr Holmes you are a famous detective please help me you make things very difficult for me Holmes said how
Can I find marks in the ivy or on the ground after 3 days why didn’t you come to me at once because of the Duke Dr huxel said he doesn’t like people talking about his unhappy family life and what are the police doing well they
Heard about a boy and a young man at the station early on Tuesday they looked for them and last night they found them in Liverpool but it was a man and his son going to visit a friend we lost three days because of that and last night I
Couldn’t sleep so I took the first train down to London this morning well Dr Hu table some more question questions said Holmes did the boy take Gman lessons no so he didn’t know the Gman teacher well then he probably never spoke to him said Dr Hook toblo M said Holmes does the boy
Have a bicycle no was any other bicycle missing no so did the German teacher ride away on his bicycle in the night with the boy on his back I don’t think so but what happened to the the bicycle now what about visitors did the boy have
Any visitors the day before no did he get any letters yes one letter from his father do you open the boy’s letters Dr huxel no then how do you know that the letter was from the father I know the Duke’s handwriting and he says that he
Wrote a letter to his son did the boy get any letters from France no I never saw any do you understand me Dr huxel Holmes said did someone take the boy away or did the boy go freely because he had a letter from France perhaps I don’t
Know said Dr huxel he only had letters from his father I think were father and son very friendly the Duke is not are not a very friendly man Mr Holmes he’s not a bad father but he is a government Minister and has a lot of things things
To do so the boy felt more friendly to his mother yes did he say that no did the Duke tell you then oh no the Duke never talks about things like that so how do you know Mr James Wilder the Duke’s secretary told me I see said
Holmes that last letter of the Dukes where is it now the boy took it with him Dr huxel said it’s not in his room Mr Holmes our train leaves in half an hour right said Holmes he looked at me Watson let’s get ready and go off to the north
With Dr huxel perhaps we can find some answers to this mystery chapter 3 Holmes and Watson go north it was dark when we arrived at Dr huxtable’s famous School in the Northern Hills we went quickly into the building out of the cold and at once someone ran up with news for Dr Dr
Huxel he looked very surprised the Duke is here he told us the Duke and Mr Wilder his secretary are in my office come and meet them the government Minister was a tall man with a long thin face he had red hair and a great red beard he looked at us and did
Not smile next to him stood Mr Wilder a very young man he was small with blue eyes and a watchful face he spoke first the Duke is surprised Dr Huxtable to see Mr Sherlock Holmes here he doesn’t want people to know about this you know that
So why didn’t you speak to the Duke before you went to London but we need help said Dr huxel and I well said the Duke Mr Holmes is here now and perhaps he can help us he looked at Holmes I’d like you to come and stay at holderness Hall Mr Holmes
Thank you sir said Holmes but I would like to stay near to the mystery here at the school can I ask you one or two questions perhaps of course said the Duke my questions are about The Duchess and about money said Holmes The Duchess knows nothing about this said the Duke
And nobody is asking me for money I see said Holmes you wrote a letter to your son before he disappeared when did you post it post it said Mr Wilder angrily the Duke does not post letters I put the letter into the post bag with all the
Other letters that day a minute or two later the Duke and Mr Wilder left Holmes then began at once to work on the case we looked carefully all through the boy’s bedroom and the German teacher’s room we looked at the ivy on the wall and we saw the footprints under the
German teacher’s window but we learned nothing new Holmes then left the house and only came back after 11:00 he had with him a large map he brought it into my room and put it on the bed this case is beginning to get interesting Watson he said look at this map here is the
School you see and here is the road so did the boy and the teacher go along the road when they left no Watson they did not how do you know that Holmes I asked because there was a policeman here look he was there from midnight to 6:00 in
The morning and he saw nobody on the road I spoke to him this evening and here at the other end you see is the white horse in a woman there was ill and the family watched the road all night waiting for the doctor the doctor didn’t come until the morning and the family
Saw nobody on the road so the boy and the teacher did not go by road but home mes what about the bicycle I asked yes Watson we must remember the bicycle of course but first let’s look to the South and the North to the South we have a big
River no bicycles there then and to the north we have the trees called ragged Shaw and then a great Moore the lower Gill Moore and here is holderness Hall 16 kilm from the school by road but only 9 kilom across the mo no other houses until the Green Man in along the
Chesterfield Road but the bicycle I said again yes yes Watson Holmes said it is possible to ride a bicycle across the mo difficult but possible just then Dr hux table came quickly into the room news Mr Holmes he said excitedly I bring news in his hands was a blue school hat look
This is the boy’s hat one of my gardeners found it this evening where man where asked Holmes just north of ragged Shaw said Dr huxel aha said Holmes what did I tell you Watson tomorrow we must walk North across the Moore chapter 4 the body on the
Moore very early the next morning I opened my eyes and saw Holmes next to my bed he was already dressed come Watson he cried there is hot coffee ready for you we leave in 10 minutes by 6:00 we were through ragged Shaw and half an hour later we were on Lower Gill Moore
Across the middle of the Moore was a small River and the ground all around it was very wet we can easily see tracks in this wet ground said Holmes look carefully Watson we move slowly across the mo looking at every centimeter of mud we found hundreds of sheep tracks
And some cow tracks but no bicycle tracks and then at last we found something not far from The Little River right across some nice black mud was the track of a bicycle hurrah I cried we have it but Holmes did not look happy it’s a bicycle yes but not the bicycle
Every bicycle has different tires I know 42 different kinds of tire this Tyra is a Dunlop but hager’s bicycle had Palmer Tyrus the English teacher told me that so this is not haidegger is it the boy then I asked probably not the boy didn’t take a ble with him said Holmes he
Looked again at the track in the mud this track is going away from the school or perhaps to the school I said no no my dear Watson look at the the tracks of the two tires are they the same uh no I said one tire makes a deeper track and
That’s the back wheel said Holmes because the rider of course sits over the back wheel the deeper track is the one on top so this bicycle went that way across the Moore away from the school but who was the rider where did he come from we followed the Dunlop track back
Nearly to ragged Shaw then we lost it in some cow tracks Holmes sat down and thought for some minutes no he said getting up we must leave this question for now back to the mud by the river Watson two hours later Holmes gave a happy cry I quickly ran over to him and
Looked down at a long thin track in the mud it was the Palmer Tire here is haiger cried Holmes letun follow him Watson for a kilometer or more we followed follow the Palmer Tire North across the Moore losing the track finding it again losing it and finding it suddenly the track stopped what
Happened here I said did he fall Holmes looked carefully on the ground then he moved to some small bushes with yellow flowers on them look he said quietly on one of the yellow flowers there was something red the dark browny red of Blood Bad said Holmes
Bad what do I read here something or someone hit him he fell he stood up he got onto his bicycle again and rode away but there is no other track some cow tracks here but no Footprints we must follow the blood Watson we soon found the bicycle and then behind a bush we
Saw a shoe and found a body there was blood on the man’s head and face and he was very very dead he had shoes on but no no socks and we saw a night shirt under his open coat it was the German teacher poor man Holmes said quietly
What shall we do Watson we can’t lose any more time but we must tell someone about this poor man shall I run back to the school I said no I need you with me Holmes stood up and looked around look he said there’s a Workman over there he
Can go back to the school for us I went and got the Workman and Holmes wrote a note for Dr huxel the poor Workman took one look at the body and began to run quickly down the hill to ragged Shaw now said Holmes before we go on let’s think carefully for a minute
What do we know so far first the boy left freely he was dressed he did not leave suddenly he wanted to go perhaps with someone perhaps not but the German teacher left without his socks and without his shirt so he left very suddenly that’s right I said and why did
Haiger go because from his bedroom window he saw the boy because he wanted to follow him and bring him back so far so good but why doesn’t haiger just run after the boy a man can easily run faster than a boy but haiger doesn’t do this he gets his bicycle he knows that
He needs his bicycle why ah I said because the boy has a bicycle not so fast Watson think about it heiger dies 8 kilomet from the school so the boy is moving very fast because it is 8 kilometers before a man on a bicycle can get near him and Heidegger dies because
Someone hits him very hard on the head a boy can’t do that so there was someone with the boy a man let’s say but we looked very carefully at the mud all around round poor hi iger’s body Watson and what did we find some cow tracks but nothing more no Footprints from people
No bicycle tracks Holmes I cried this is not possible very good Watson he said it’s not possible so something is wrong with my thinking what can it be perhaps I said haiger broke his head in a fall in mud Watson oh I don’t know I just don’t know come come Watson said Holmes
Every mystery has an answer but for now the Palmer Tire can tell us nothing more so we must go back to the Dunlop Tire we found the Dunlop track again and followed it North here there was very little mud and we lost the track across the Moore we could now see holder nesso
Hall some kilometers to our left and in front of us we could see the Chesterfield Road we walked down to the road and along to the Green Man in chapter 5 a visit to the Green Man when we were near the Inn Holmes suddenly Cried Out ah my foot I can’t
Stand on it help me Watson I took his arm and we walked slowly to the door of the Inn a man stood there smoking and watching usow are you Mr Reuben Hayes said Holmes who are you and how do you know my name said the man he looked very
Unfriendly because it’s on the door of the Inn over your head said Holmes but can you help me Mr Hayes no I can’t but I need help I can’t put my foot to the ground well don’t put it to the ground Holmes smiled look he said it’s very
Important and I can offer you a pound for the use of a bicycle where do you want to go asked Mr Mr Hayes to holderness Hall oh Friends of the Duke are you Mr Hayes laughed looking at our muddy shoes and trousers Holmes laughed too well we are bringing him news of his
Lost son he said the boy is in Liverpool Mr Hayes’s face went white then red oh he said carefully that’s ER that’s good news I worked for the Duke once but he wasn’t good to me I don’t like him but I’m pleased about the boy we all went into the
Innow said Holmes something to eat first please then you can bring round the bicycle I haven’t got a bicycle said Mr Hayes Holmes put a pound on the table I tell you man that I haven’t got a bicycle you can have two horses to take you to the
Hall he brought us something to eat and we ate hungrily through the window we could see the stables at the back of the Inn once Holmes got up and walked around the room then stood looking out of the window at the Stables surprisingly his foot was now very much better suddenly
He laughed and looked at me I’ve got it he cried yes of course that’s it Watson did you see any cow tracks today yes I said lots of them everywhere and how many cows did you see on the Moore I don’t remember any I said isn’t that
Strange Watson lots of cow tracks but no cows and do you remember those tracks Watson he took out his notebook there were tracks like this and sometimes like this do you remember that Watson no I don’t I said what does it mean holes it means that it’s a very strange cow
Watson cow don’t move like that now let’s go quiet L out and have look around these Stables there were two tired looking horses in the Stables Holmes looked carefully at one of the hores feet and laughed look Watson old shoes but New Nails oh this case gets more interesting
Every minute I began to ask Holmes a question but suddenly we heard someone behind us and there was Mr Ruben Hayes his face was red and angry what are you doing in my Stables he cried we’re just looking at your horses Mr Hayes said Holmes smiling why are you afraid of
Something the man opened his mouth then closed it quickly his face was still red and angry Holmes did not give him time to speak I think your horses are tired Mr Hayes we can walk to the hall it’s not far 3 kilm by the road Mr Hayes said
His eyes still watched us angrily it was nearly dark when we left we walked along the road for about a 100 meters then Holmes took my arm quick Watson off the road and up the hill then we can come down the hill at the back of the Inn we
Ran up the hill this man Hayes I said he knows all about the kidnapping is that right Holmes of course it is he said we can learn a lot more from Mr Hayes ah who’s this Watson get to down there was a bicycle on the road it came past us
Very quickly and we saw the rider Mr James Wilder the Duke’s secretary his face was white and Afraid quick Watson said Holmes we must watch him we ran down the hill and stopped when we could see the back door of the Inn Wilder’s bicycle was by the
Wall near the door for 5 minutes nothing happened then a man on a horse rode quickly out of the Stables and disappeared down the road what do you think of that Watson said Holmes somebody’s running away yes but not James Wilder because there he is at the
Door we could see Wilder in the light from the door he stood there looking out and 10 minutes later another man came down the road and went into the Inn then a light came on in a room upstairs come Watson we must get nearer Holmes said
We went down the hill and walked very quietly to the back door of the Inn the bicycle was still by the wall Holmes looked at the wheel and laughed quietly a Dunlop Tire Watson now I must look through that upstairs window so I need your back Watson Holmes stood on my back
But only for a second and then he was down again come my friend he said it’s a long walk to the school so let’s start at once I can give you all the answers to this mystery tomorrow it was a long cold muddy walk back to the school I
Went to bed at once but Holmes went out again to mlon I think I was very tired and slept all night like a dead man
