Speaker 1 (00:13):
From New York, the makers of flipper Craft Clubs from
Man and nine hundred and twenty four leading retail stories
from Coast to Coast present the world's most famous detective,
Sherlock Holmes. Our stories are based upon the character of
(00:43):
Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes
is portrayed by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley,
and the dramatizations are.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
By Edith Meiser.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Tonight, the stars are frosty bride, no wind, no clouds,
just clean, clear cold.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It feels good to.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Be sitting in front of your cozy fire, Doctor Watson,
with our feet stressed on the tender.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Don't get too comfortable, mister heads, because tonight I'm going
to tell.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You about that one of Shark's most important cases.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The case is the stolen Naval treaty, A naval treaty, Doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
A highly exclusive document. Explosive.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, it's threatened to blurt a piece of Europe into bits.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And did it? Now?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Really, mister Harris, you you mustn't get ahead of the story.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And let's not forget your part in the program.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, doctor Watson, And by part in The program is
really a very simple one. My job is to tell
our listeners the great big idea behind Clippercraft clothes. It's
just this to bring you the finest values in clothes
in America at the friendly local store you can trust.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now, naturally, this is not easy. It takes real planning.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's the remarkable Clippercraft plan that makes it all possible.
Concentrating the buying car of nine hundred and twenty four
leading stores across America, taking tremendous savings and manufacturing and
distribution costs, you've a treat in store for you if
you've never seen clipper craft fothes.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Beautiful clippercraft suits that.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Look like twice as much money, and we're like at too,
are only forty dollars and forty three seventy five top
coats and overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets
only twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
They're so amazingly.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Fine that we urge you to compare them with clothes
selling for many dollars more. And now, doctor Watson, how
about that stolen neighbor tree. Yes, let's see when you're
(02:47):
that morning.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It was the July which immediately succeeded man marriage eh
and received a communication from a news school and Pursy
Phillips purss mother's brother.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The Lord host to.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Be a great conservative politician, and this rather Gordon relationship
was a little value to him when we were.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
At school, I can assure you.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
However, they let us seemed to be sever urgent, so
I headed around to Baker Street. I found homes in
his dressing gown, plunged in the middle of a chemical investigation.
A large curved that tork was boiling furiously in the
bluish flame of a Bunsen burner.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Seeing the look of concentration on Holmes's.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Face, I seated myself in my old armchair and waited,
hardly daring to breathe.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
HM.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Boston Lightning, Boston lightning. Yes, you will come at a crisis, Watson.
If this slip of paper remains blue when it touches
the solution.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
All will be well.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That turned red means a man's life. I say he
studied a rough Watson. This is the crucial moment. I
watch carefully.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
There, but I say it has burned red and lasted
blood red. Blood red is quite correct, Watson. A very
commonplace murder. Well, if the end of battle experiment, Hi,
fill up your pipe, then hand me the persian slipped on?
All right here you are, hm, So you've come on
business Watson? Yes, but how did you.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Know the letter touched so tightly in your right hand?
Not to mention the excitement and anxiety on your face,
you are the stormy petrol of crime.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Watson? What is it? This letter? It came in the
morning mail. Read it me. That's a good chap. It's
from an old schoolfellow man. I haven't seen him for years. Yes,
but what did he say? The letter is headed Briar
Bray Woking.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
My dear Watson, I trust you still remember Tad Paul Phelps,
who was in the fourth form when you were in
the third.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You may even have heard that through.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
My uncle's influence, I obtained a good appointment at the
Foreign Office, where I was in a situation of trust
until a horrible misfortune suddenly blasted my career. Do you
think you could persuade your friend Sherlock Holmes to come
down here to help solve this terrible mess?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Assure him that the only reason I have not asked him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Advice sooner was because I have been completely off my
head for nine weeks time. I am still so weak
that I have to write by dictating, as you see
your old schoolfellow, Percy Phelps. Hmm, let me see that
on earth doesn't tell us very much, does it hard anything?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The writing is of interest, but it's not his own precisely.
It's a woman's, but it looks like a man. No,
it's a woman's, and a woman of unusually strong character.
It's always interesting to know that your client is in
close country with someone who, for good or evil, has
an exceptional nature.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yes, my interest is already awakened at the matter. Then
you will take the case.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
The next plain for walking leaves an exactly forty three minutes. Honey,
what's more, we shall miss it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Did you step in here, gentlemen? I find out that
mister Phelp's conceal you.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Dear, dear, Oh, your place hasn't changed since the days
when I used to visit here on my vacations.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Makes me feel quite young again.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Ah shureack curves, I perceive, and Dr Watson too, I presume,
So glad to come. Percy's been inquiring for you all morning.
Poor chap it clings to any straw.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
My dear man, I may look as thin as a straw,
but I promise you I have more weight mentally. I
received you yourself and not a member of the family. Oh,
dear me, how did you know the monogram on.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The pocket of your blazer k Ah twelve? Course of course,
but a moment I thought you had done something clever.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
My name is Harrison, Joseph Harrison Percy is engaged to
marry my sister Annie, so I shall soon be a
relation by marriage.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Narrate. My sister is with him now. She's nursed him
hand and foot during this trying two months, soothing his
pevid brow lucky fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Yes, you will find him in his room, My room rather,
at least it used to be in my room until
he came home after the catastrophe and collapsed.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
They couldn't carry him upstairs he was in such a state,
so they took.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Him into my room. We'd better go in it once.
I know how impatient he.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Is to see you. Yes, this conversation is to mic ful,
but after all we did come to see mister Phelps. Yes, yes,
quite so. Come this way. It's in this wings the
dining room. You say, this is the door. I'll leave
you here. You can come in if you like. Oh no,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No invalids are always depressing, and with this misfortune hanging
over his head, poor.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Fellow will.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Come in.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh last, at least I presume this is Sherlock Holmes.
Quite and how is your vision? Oh he's much better,
Thank you, my dear fellow.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, I hardly knew you, and that mustache. I didn't
delight to see your both. Oh this is my fancy,
Miss Haddison. Please sit down?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Shall I leave person? Oh no, don't go any if
you don't mind. Mister Herbs not tall.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I feel much steadier when she's here. Quite and now phelps, Well,
you see, mis a Herbes.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's like this.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I was a happy and successful man. I'm even being married,
and then this strength misfortune wrecked my life.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm a broken man. My honor gone. I won't wrote
your persy. Please, you'll make yourself ill again. I'm sorry.
Perhaps you'd better just tell us the facts as quietly
as you can. Of course, Homes, I was, as Watson
may have told you, in the Foreign.

the foreign Minnesota. Well, yeah, eighty years ago. Week's Rother

want to make sure we can't be overheard.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's it. What's up, uncle bird? You look tremendously solemn.
It's a solemn matter, Percy.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Is see this piece of paper. It's a secret treaty
covering our naval situation in the Mediterranean. I'm listen up
in itself, but a bombshell if it should fall into
the hands of well sudden government, it's to me the.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Very walls may have years Percy. Let us merely say
the country of X. You understand, I understand. I want
you to make a copy of it. I must have a.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Complete copy tomorrow morning. You may have to work on
it the better part of the night.

Oh that's all right, sir.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Joseph and his brother you know, is going to stop
by for me. We're going to take the nine o'clock
train together. He can tell the family I've been kept
in tom on business.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Very well, but leave the message with the Commissionire downstairs.
I don't want anyone in your room when you're copying
that document.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh well, oh you mister Phelps. Yes, I came down
to see my coffee was ready. But I think the
front doorbell just rang bell? Yes, but if you was here,
who rang that bell? What bell?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I told you it was that it's the bell of
the room you was working inside, great sunder mine bell.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
There's no one up there. Treaty. Oh good heaven, I
left it on the table.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Quick, Herbert.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We've got to get up there. Something terrible as heavening work.
If you don't, don't run faster, pray collis too late.
Way out, open the door, stand back, he armed. I've
got my army in avolver. There's no one here.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
What the treaty?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The treaty is done? Who could have taken it?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No one's been in the front way tonight, and there
was no one in the rooms but yourself, My wife
said so.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Then he must have combed the stairs and his hide
door and stepped out that way too after.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I have it quickly. May may not be too late.
Three men high. Don't you go out?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Says You'll be soaked to the skin. Now there's a
policeman upon her.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Have you seen something, I say, Bobby. There's no rubbling
upon an office. Has anyone passed this way? It's turning
a cord of an hour, sir? And only one had
been sous test in that time. Who was it but
old lady in a bisy sor she seemed in a hurry.
But that was my wife. Which way did he go?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You're just wasting your time, so many three minutes of importance.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's all right, we'll go back towards Scotland Yards. Oh
this is terrible, heaven terrible. We're ruined.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Never you mind, sir, you'll lose your posts perhaps, but
they can't do nothing, so dreadful to you.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's not myself I'm thinking up.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's England.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, officers from Scotland Yard were waiting for the charwoman
when she got home. And what did they find? Nothing?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Absolutely nothing? And got oh did they trace him, yes,
mister Herms. But again nothing was found. Oh, I was
finding out of my mind. They had to get a
doctor to take me home. I was delirious.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's been weeks and these two people got own the charwoman.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They've been under observation ever since, I suppose, yes, with
no results.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You say it had been raining all evening. Yes, but
you found no traces of any kind of the room.
Oh footprints, I mean absolutely none, not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Even those are a charwoman's muddy boots.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
How do you explain that?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Well, the charwomen in the habit of taking off their
boots and wearing just carpet slippers.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
No footprints. Eh, has been lightning, must have a cab
and got high that way too. Then if there's the
policeman's not sere not in mister Pelts, could anyone have
been concealed in the room or in the corriccord? Impossible?
There there was no cover of any kind.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Windows thirty pep above the ground knocked on the inside
that it must have been the side door.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Who knew you were to have the treaty in your possession? No,
I take my oath on mate. In your opinion, what
would happen if those papers were to fall into the
hands of a rival government war almost instantaneously? But it's
eight weeks and we're not at war. Therefore it's not
unfair to suppose the treaty hasn't reached them.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I don't imagine the thief took the treaty in order
to frame it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Quite when he's undoubtedly waiting for a better price. There's
only one clue that puzzles me. What is that bell?
Did someone need to prevent the crime or was it
an accident? If we only knew why the bell was rung,
we should have the solution of this case. It's even
possible if you didn't ha ha. Of course, of course,
what a fool I was not to think of that before,
you think you could? He helped me, possibly, possibly, God
(17:01):
bless you with that, mister Holmes. If we can keep
our courage and our patience, the truth must come out.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But Percy has.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
One more adventures to tell you about. You're sure you're
strong enough, darling. Oh, I feel better than I had
for days. Cope with a splendid tonic Henny. And what
was this other incident, mister Phelps.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Well, you see, mister Holmes, last night was the very
first that I stepped out a nurse in my rooms.
I was rather wakeful. I had a nightmare or two,
and suddenly I heard a slight noise, what kind of noise?
Like a mouse gnawing a plank. It grew louder, and
all at once there was a sharp, metallic sneak.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Someone fossing the window. Dis I realized that too.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I jumped out of bed and flung open the shutters.
A man was crouching in the window. He was gone
like a flesh.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What did he look like? I don't really know.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
He was wrapped in some sort of cloak which came
across the lower part of his face.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh, A one thing, I am sure of He had
a long.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Weapon in his head that looked like a knife. I
saw the gleam of it as he turned to run.
I shouted after him, and then then I to collapse
from the effort. The next thing I knew, I was
surrounded by the entire household. Oh, Joseph in the groom
found marks in the flower bed outside this window. You
can see them from where you sit, hear me.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yes, I'm afraid Joseph and the groom have been a
bit too energetic for me to learn anything from the traces.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
The flower bed looks as if it had been trampled
on by an army. Oh, I'm sorry, I should a burglar,
if it was a burglar choose to enter this room.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
The dining room windows are much larger and more accessible.
I can't imagine a miss well unless it's a plot
against Percy.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
If that sounds a bit melodramatic and not at all
as something in what Miss Harrison says.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So much for Doctor Watson and I to take you
up to London with us, Yes, but he's not very strong.
You know the trip to London will not be nearly
so dangerous to your fiance, say Miss Harrison, as another
night in this room.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Good and another thing, Miss Harrison, you can be very
helpful to answer to mister Helps.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Help, mister Phelps, if you'll do one thing for me,
you may take courage. But I think I can promise
that you will be in no great personal danger. What
is it you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Stay in this room until you go to bed tonight.
Don't leave it for an instant. Mister Phelp's reputation and
my whole future made a Pendmic. I'm not going to
ask you to sleep here that when you leave for
the night, I want you to lock the bedroom door
on the outside.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes, but look here, something might happen. Not a word
to anyone. It's for his sake. Remember, come in lost everybody,
something especially nice for you.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Come along, Annie, oh Joseph, if you'll excuse me, I
have a slight headache.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I think I'll eat in here about myself.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That really is nice.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I won't be alone. I can't say I enjoy cross
(19:52):
country walks in the middle of the night. Watson, I
thought we were going back to London. That's what you
told everybody. We get on the tram, person and the
nurse and then we get off of the next station
and leave Percy and the nurse to go up to
London alone. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Stop fussing. He'll be all right. I sent him on
the Baker Street. With any luck, we should be there
ourselves in time to have breakast with him.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, but why sneak back to brian Bray like dish?
Not so loud? There's the house now, you can see
its gables in the moonlight. Follow me here through the hedge, says,
But why is the head when the gates over?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Not so loud?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
We've got to get as near as a house as
possible without being seen.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I say, there's quite a mystrising, ghostly looking steps of
it over there in the meadow. See look, the lamp
is still litting pleasant at I mean in Gypsy's room.
Miss Allison must have kept her promise.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Yes, there she is reading a book. Now she's put
it down. She's picking up the lamp.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I see, Holmes. She must be getting ready to go
to bed. Quite possibly, Watson. I only hope he doesn't
forget to lock the door on the outside. There she
goes to the dining room. Now the light's gone.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I see the mista.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Creeping up in the meadow of you, if only the
thief doesn't wait until they blanket the us.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Look, the service door is opening.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Excellent.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I didn't think he'd wait very long. Ere he comes
out into the moonlight.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
He's wearing a long black cap. He can't see his face.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
He's forcing the window.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He's got it open. He's climbing over the sill.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
He must getting closer so we can see. I see
islacking the candles on the mantel.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Look, he's putting back the rug.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
In the floor.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I thought so. He's looking up a board.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Now, mister Joseph Harrison, if he good enough to hand
out the papers you've just removed from that hiding pace,
he's gonna night. You really have to see clipper Craft
(22:21):
clothes to know their excellence, and it's easy enough to
see them right at your own local independent store. You
have to see them because such superlatively fine quality sold
at such low prices amazes even the experts. Suits are
only forty dollars and forty seventy five top coats and
overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets only twenty
(22:43):
five dollars. The fit is beautiful. The woman's are long wearing.
The tailoring is really superb. The famous clipper Craft Plan
makes this sheer magic possible. Concentrating the buying power of
nine hundred and twenty four leading stores across the nation,
giving you the savings from this group. Buying at the
store you'd trust, selling expensive clothes at inexpensive low prices
(23:06):
at the nation's finest independent stores is the great, big
idea behind the clipper Craft Plan. That's why men who
know insist on clipper Craft clothes. So be sure to
visit the clipper Craft store in your city.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
The leading stores and the metropolitan area that bring you Clippercraft.
Speaker 1 (23:22):

Sixty four oh eight Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica. These great courtiers
and friendly stores are proud to add their names to
that of Clippercraft in the label of your suit, topcoat,
sports jacket and overcoat. Return to two twenty one B
(24:01):
Baker Street, where Percy Phelps is anxiously awaiting the arrival
of Sherlock Horners.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But he's almost nine now, missus Hudson and Holmes say
they're here for breakfast at nine.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now, don't you worry, mister Pelts. If he says he'll
be here for breakfast, he'll be here. It's when he
don't say that, that's when.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
You don't know whether it'll be breakfast something he'll be
wanting next.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What did I tell you here?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
They are now driving up in ants cab.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
They are the front door and it's nine to the second.
Good morning, Missus Hudson, Good morning, said mister is on
the table.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I've been not what I say, homes you've been wounded,
your hands all tied up, just a scratch hmmm.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Breakfast three covered dishes, splendid and plenty of steaming coffee. Excellent,
it is your I mean come, business can wait until
after breakfast. You look as if you needed a bit
of nourishment.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Mister Phelps, Well I'm ring up very hungry. Well we
are with nine revenous Aha. What's this?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Curried chicken?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
And this.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Ham and eggs? Better and better? Which will you take?
Mister Pelps? Thank you? I couldn't touch a thing or
come try the dish before you. I'd rather not read well,
then I suppose you have no objection to helping me.
Let's see what that dish contains. Certainly what it's papers.
It's the neighbor tree, the neighbor Moore. God bless you,
(25:45):
mister Holst, God bless you. You saved me, if you've
saved Eveland. Don't mention it, my dear Chap, don't mention it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But whender Thorns first began to suspect this Harrison fellow,
doctor Watson.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
He had that he was expecting to stop back for him.
Mister Harris, I'm afraid that Joseph's character was blacker than
one would judge from his appearance. We learnedly so that
he had lost heavily in dabbling.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
In stocks, and he thought he could turn the treaty
into money.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yes, besides, no one but Joseph could be so anxious
to get into that bedroom because no one but Joseph
could have conceived anything there. Also, the attempt was made
the first night the nurse was out of the way.
Therefore the intrudevers were acquainted.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
With the house. But the bell, doctor Watson, why was
that so significant? Where's mister Harris?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It showed that the thief had not come there to
pass his office to steal the papers. He he came
for another reason, bad appointment. As we know, he rang
the bell and then happened to see the papers.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Doctor Watson. Was he convicted?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
No, the case was never brought too it would have
been too tilish a position for.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The Foreign Office. He was advised, however, to get out
of the country and stay out and personally marry the
sister doctor.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
He did, and to this day I don't believe she
knows why her brother never returns to England.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
While that was an exciting case, doctor Watson. And now
what story are we to have next week? Will let
me see?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Next week, I think I'll tell tell about the Cornish
horror or the cradle that rocked itself?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The cradle that rocked itself, Yes, mister Harris.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
The the rocking cradle was supposed to indicate that someone
in the survining hashold was about to die. As a
matter of fact, there were two deaths and another that
herbs are suppose I leave that till next weekend.

You about that one of Shark's most important cases.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The case is the stolen Naval treaty, A naval treaty, Doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
A highly exclusive document. Explosive.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, it's threatened to blurt a piece of Europe into bits.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And did it? Now?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Really, mister Harris, you you mustn't get ahead of the story.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And let's not forget your part in the program.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, doctor Watson, And by part in The program is
really a very simple one. My job is to tell
our listeners the great big idea behind Clippercraft clothes. It's
just this to bring you the finest values in clothes
in America at the friendly local store you can trust.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now, naturally, this is not easy. It takes real planning.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's the remarkable Clippercraft plan that makes it all possible.
Concentrating the buying car of nine hundred and twenty four
leading stores across America, taking tremendous savings and manufacturing and
distribution costs, you've a treat in store for you if
you've never seen clipper craft fothes.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Beautiful clippercraft suits that.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Look like twice as much money, and we're like at too,
are only forty dollars and forty three seventy five top
coats and overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets
only twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
They're so amazingly.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Fine that we urge you to compare them with clothes
selling for many dollars more. And now, doctor Watson, how
about that stolen neighbor tree. Yes, let's see when you're
(02:47):
that morning.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It was the July which immediately succeeded man marriage eh
and received a communication from a news school and Pursy
Phillips purss mother's brother.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The Lord host to.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Be a great conservative politician, and this rather Gordon relationship
was a little value to him when we were.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
At school, I can assure you.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
However, they let us seemed to be sever urgent, so
I headed around to Baker Street. I found homes in
his dressing gown, plunged in the middle of a chemical investigation.
A large curved that tork was boiling furiously in the
bluish flame of a Bunsen burner.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Seeing the look of concentration on Holmes's.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Face, I seated myself in my old armchair and waited,
hardly daring to breathe.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
HM.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Boston Lightning, Boston lightning. Yes, you will come at a crisis, Watson.
If this slip of paper remains blue when it touches
the solution.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
All will be well.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That turned red means a man's life. I say he
studied a rough Watson. This is the crucial moment. I
watch carefully.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
There, but I say it has burned red and lasted
blood red. Blood red is quite correct, Watson. A very
commonplace murder. Well, if the end of battle experiment, Hi,
fill up your pipe, then hand me the persian slipped on?
All right here you are, hm, So you've come on
business Watson? Yes, but how did you.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Know the letter touched so tightly in your right hand?
Not to mention the excitement and anxiety on your face,
you are the stormy petrol of crime.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Watson? What is it? This letter? It came in the
morning mail. Read it me. That's a good chap. It's
from an old schoolfellow man. I haven't seen him for years. Yes,
but what did he say? The letter is headed Briar
Bray Woking.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
My dear Watson, I trust you still remember Tad Paul Phelps,
who was in the fourth form when you were in
the third.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You may even have heard that through.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
My uncle's influence, I obtained a good appointment at the
Foreign Office, where I was in a situation of trust
until a horrible misfortune suddenly blasted my career. Do you
think you could persuade your friend Sherlock Holmes to come
down here to help solve this terrible mess?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Assure him that the only reason I have not asked him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Advice sooner was because I have been completely off my
head for nine weeks time. I am still so weak
that I have to write by dictating, as you see
your old schoolfellow, Percy Phelps. Hmm, let me see that
on earth doesn't tell us very much, does it hard anything?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The writing is of interest, but it's not his own precisely.
It's a woman's, but it looks like a man. No,
it's a woman's, and a woman of unusually strong character.
It's always interesting to know that your client is in
close country with someone who, for good or evil, has
an exceptional nature.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yes, my interest is already awakened at the matter. Then
you will take the case.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
The next plain for walking leaves an exactly forty three minutes. Honey,
what's more, we shall miss it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Did you step in here, gentlemen? I find out that
mister Phelp's conceal you.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Dear, dear, Oh, your place hasn't changed since the days
when I used to visit here on my vacations.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Makes me feel quite young again.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Ah shureack curves, I perceive, and Dr Watson too, I presume,
So glad to come. Percy's been inquiring for you all morning.
Poor chap it clings to any straw.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
My dear man, I may look as thin as a straw,
but I promise you I have more weight mentally. I
received you yourself and not a member of the family. Oh,
dear me, how did you know the monogram on.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The pocket of your blazer k Ah twelve? Course of course,
but a moment I thought you had done something clever.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
My name is Harrison, Joseph Harrison Percy is engaged to
marry my sister Annie, so I shall soon be a
relation by marriage.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Narrate. My sister is with him now. She's nursed him
hand and foot during this trying two months, soothing his
pevid brow lucky fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Yes, you will find him in his room, My room rather,
at least it used to be in my room until
he came home after the catastrophe and collapsed.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
They couldn't carry him upstairs he was in such a state,
so they took.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Him into my room. We'd better go in it once.
I know how impatient he.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Is to see you. Yes, this conversation is to mic ful,
but after all we did come to see mister Phelps. Yes, yes,
quite so. Come this way. It's in this wings the
dining room. You say, this is the door. I'll leave
you here. You can come in if you like. Oh no,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No invalids are always depressing, and with this misfortune hanging
over his head, poor.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Fellow will.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Come in.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh last, at least I presume this is Sherlock Holmes.
Quite and how is your vision? Oh he's much better,
Thank you, my dear fellow.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, I hardly knew you, and that mustache. I didn't
delight to see your both. Oh this is my fancy,
Miss Haddison. Please sit down?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Shall I leave person? Oh no, don't go any if
you don't mind. Mister Herbs not tall.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I feel much steadier when she's here. Quite and now phelps, Well,
you see, mis a Herbes.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's like this.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I was a happy and successful man. I'm even being married,
and then this strength misfortune wrecked my life.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm a broken man. My honor gone. I won't wrote
your persy. Please, you'll make yourself ill again. I'm sorry.
Perhaps you'd better just tell us the facts as quietly
as you can. Of course, Homes, I was, as Watson
may have told you, in the Foreign.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Office, in a responsible position. My uncle Lord Hohurst is
the foreign Minnesota. Well, yeah, eighty years ago. Week's Rother
the twenty that made me exact.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He called me into his private room informed that he
had a commission of trust for.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Me to execute.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Come in, Come in. Oh, it's your persy. Anyone out
there in the hall, Nursey, good, come.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
In and lock the door. Now, come over here. I
want to make sure we can't be overheard.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's it. What's up, uncle bird? You look tremendously solemn.
It's a solemn matter, Percy.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Is see this piece of paper. It's a secret treaty
covering our naval situation in the Mediterranean. I'm listen up
in itself, but a bombshell if it should fall into
the hands of well sudden government, it's to me the.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Very walls may have years Percy. Let us merely say
the country of X. You understand, I understand. I want
you to make a copy of it. I must have a.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Complete copy tomorrow morning. You may have to work on
it the better part of the night.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh that's all right, sir.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Joseph and his brother you know, is going to stop
by for me. We're going to take the nine o'clock
train together. He can tell the family I've been kept
in tom on business.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Very well, but leave the message with the Commissionire downstairs.
I don't want anyone in your room when you're copying
that document.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Very good, sir. When you've finished, you can put the
document and the copy in my safe. You know the combination.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I believe, certainly that's all persy, But don't forget you
hold the peace of Europe in your hands.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I won't good night, huncle burn.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
She's so I had to make a night of it. Ay,
But hello, Conna, you're still here, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I had some details to clear up, so I thought
we'd want me to stay. Oh that's all right, gotda
you can finish tomorrow, yes, sir. Are you sure you
won't need me? No? Thanks, Yes, because.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Never have a chance to go out for dinner. At

pulls twisted again? Yeah, uh huh, rains coming down harder
than ever. Nice jolly little even.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, you're sure there's something I can do with to

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm the Commissionaire's wife, sir.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What's more, I'm the charm idea around.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Here, the child lady. I see, I don't believe I've
ever had the pleasure of making your ac queens before. No,
so that you haven't. If you mean what I think
you do, would you inquire if your spouse would spare
me a cup of the excellent coffee?
Speaker 9 (12:13):
He already pasts of the empire who are obliged to
work at night.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
You mean, herb, we should bring you half a cup
of coffee? Yes, please, I see what I can do
about yes, use your influence.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Well, let's have a look at that pretty mm hmm,

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh it's no use, I'm too drowsy. Oh did they
guy go to have a cup of coffee? Herbert, I say,

way downstairs.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Her mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's asleep, Herbert.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Wake on?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh well, oh you mister Phelps. Yes, I came down
to see my coffee was ready. But I think the
front doorbell just rang bell? Yes, but if you was here,
who rang that bell? What bell?
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I told you it was that it's the bell of
the room you was working inside, great sunder mine bell.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
There's no one up there. Treaty. Oh good heaven, I
left it on the table.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Quick, Herbert.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We've got to get up there. Something terrible as heavening work.
If you don't, don't run faster, pray collis too late.
Way out, open the door, stand back, he armed. I've
got my army in avolver. There's no one here.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
What the treaty?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
The treaty is done? Who could have taken it?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No one's been in the front way tonight, and there
was no one in the rooms but yourself, My wife
said so.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Then he must have combed the stairs and his hide
door and stepped out that way too after.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I have it quickly. May may not be too late.
Three men high. Don't you go out?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Says You'll be soaked to the skin. Now there's a
policeman upon her.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Have you seen something, I say, Bobby. There's no rubbling
upon an office. Has anyone passed this way? It's turning
a cord of an hour, sir? And only one had
been sous test in that time. Who was it but
old lady in a bisy sor she seemed in a hurry.
But that was my wife. Which way did he go?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You're just wasting your time, so many three minutes of importance.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's all right, we'll go back towards Scotland Yards. Oh
this is terrible, heaven terrible. We're ruined.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Never you mind, sir, you'll lose your posts perhaps, but
they can't do nothing, so dreadful to you.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's not myself I'm thinking up.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's England.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, officers from Scotland Yard were waiting for the charwoman
when she got home. And what did they find? Nothing?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Absolutely nothing? And got oh did they trace him, yes,
mister Herms. But again nothing was found. Oh, I was
finding out of my mind. They had to get a
doctor to take me home. I was delirious.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's been weeks and these two people got own the charwoman.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They've been under observation ever since, I suppose, yes, with
no results.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You say it had been raining all evening. Yes, but
you found no traces of any kind of the room.
Oh footprints, I mean absolutely none, not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Even those are a charwoman's muddy boots.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
How do you explain that?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Well, the charwomen in the habit of taking off their
boots and wearing just carpet slippers.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
No footprints. Eh, has been lightning, must have a cab
and got high that way too. Then if there's the
policeman's not sere not in mister Pelts, could anyone have
been concealed in the room or in the corriccord? Impossible?
There there was no cover of any kind.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Windows thirty pep above the ground knocked on the inside
that it must have been the side door.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Who knew you were to have the treaty in your possession? No,
I take my oath on mate. In your opinion, what
would happen if those papers were to fall into the
hands of a rival government war almost instantaneously? But it's
eight weeks and we're not at war. Therefore it's not
unfair to suppose the treaty hasn't reached them.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I don't imagine the thief took the treaty in order
to frame it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Quite when he's undoubtedly waiting for a better price. There's
only one clue that puzzles me. What is that bell?
Did someone need to prevent the crime or was it
an accident? If we only knew why the bell was rung,
we should have the solution of this case. It's even
possible if you didn't ha ha. Of course, of course,
what a fool I was not to think of that before,
you think you could? He helped me, possibly, possibly, God
(17:01):
bless you with that, mister Holmes. If we can keep
our courage and our patience, the truth must come out.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But Percy has.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
One more adventures to tell you about. You're sure you're
strong enough, darling. Oh, I feel better than I had
for days. Cope with a splendid tonic Henny. And what
was this other incident, mister Phelps.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Well, you see, mister Holmes, last night was the very
first that I stepped out a nurse in my rooms.
I was rather wakeful. I had a nightmare or two,
and suddenly I heard a slight noise, what kind of noise?
Like a mouse gnawing a plank. It grew louder, and
all at once there was a sharp, metallic sneak.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Someone fossing the window. Dis I realized that too.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I jumped out of bed and flung open the shutters.
A man was crouching in the window. He was gone
like a flesh.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What did he look like? I don't really know.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
He was wrapped in some sort of cloak which came
across the lower part of his face.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh, A one thing, I am sure of He had
a long.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Weapon in his head that looked like a knife. I
saw the gleam of it as he turned to run.
I shouted after him, and then then I to collapse
from the effort. The next thing I knew, I was
surrounded by the entire household. Oh, Joseph in the groom
found marks in the flower bed outside this window. You
can see them from where you sit, hear me.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yes, I'm afraid Joseph and the groom have been a
bit too energetic for me to learn anything from the traces.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
The flower bed looks as if it had been trampled
on by an army. Oh, I'm sorry, I should a burglar,
if it was a burglar choose to enter this room.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
The dining room windows are much larger and more accessible.
I can't imagine a miss well unless it's a plot
against Percy.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
If that sounds a bit melodramatic and not at all
as something in what Miss Harrison says.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So much for Doctor Watson and I to take you
up to London with us, Yes, but he's not very strong.
You know the trip to London will not be nearly
so dangerous to your fiance, say Miss Harrison, as another
night in this room.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Good and another thing, Miss Harrison, you can be very
helpful to answer to mister Helps.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Help, mister Phelps, if you'll do one thing for me,
you may take courage. But I think I can promise
that you will be in no great personal danger. What
is it you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Stay in this room until you go to bed tonight.
Don't leave it for an instant. Mister Phelp's reputation and
my whole future made a Pendmic. I'm not going to
ask you to sleep here that when you leave for
the night, I want you to lock the bedroom door
on the outside.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes, but look here, something might happen. Not a word
to anyone. It's for his sake. Remember, come in lost everybody,
something especially nice for you.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Come along, Annie, oh Joseph, if you'll excuse me, I
have a slight headache.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I think I'll eat in here about myself.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That really is nice.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I won't be alone. I can't say I enjoy cross
(19:52):
country walks in the middle of the night. Watson, I
thought we were going back to London. That's what you
told everybody. We get on the tram, person and the
nurse and then we get off of the next station
and leave Percy and the nurse to go up to
London alone. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Stop fussing. He'll be all right. I sent him on
the Baker Street. With any luck, we should be there
ourselves in time to have breakast with him.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, but why sneak back to brian Bray like dish?
Not so loud? There's the house now, you can see
its gables in the moonlight. Follow me here through the hedge, says,
But why is the head when the gates over?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Not so loud?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
We've got to get as near as a house as

doctor Watson.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
He had that he was expecting to stop back for him.
Mister Harris, I'm afraid that Joseph's character was blacker than
one would judge from his appearance. We learnedly so that
he had lost heavily in dabbling.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
In stocks, and he thought he could turn the treaty
into money.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yes, besides, no one but Joseph could be so anxious
to get into that bedroom because no one but Joseph
could have conceived anything there. Also, the attempt was made
the first night the nurse was out of the way.
Therefore the intrudevers were acquainted.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
With the house. But the bell, doctor Watson, why was
that so significant? Where's mister Harris?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It showed that the thief had not come there to
pass his office to steal the papers. He he came
for another reason, bad appointment. As we know, he rang
the bell and then happened to see the papers.

Doctor Watson. Was he convicted?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
No, the case was never brought too it would have
been too tilish a position for.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The Foreign Office. He was advised, however, to get out
of the country and stay out and personally marry the
sister doctor.

knows why her brother never returns to England.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
While that was an exciting case, doctor Watson. And now
