“OK,Archie,it’s all clear up here.Give me the hammer and the bags and then climb up yourself,”he said.At that moment,Holmes ran from behind his box and caught hold of Spaulding.
“Quick,Archie,run!”yelled Spaulding.We heard the sound of feet running away.
“He won’t get far,Mr.Clay,for that’s your real name,isn’t it?” said Holmes.“The police are guarding the shop door at the other end of the tunnel you so cleverly dug.They’ll catch him as he comes out the other end.”
Once both thieves had been arrested and taken off to the police station,Holmes and I
went home to discuss the matter.
“And so you see,Watson,Spaulding,or Clay as his real name is,needed to get Mr.Merryweather out of his shop so he and his associate could dig their tunnel.The dirt on the knees of his trousers confirmed that they were digging.When I knocked my stick on the pavement and heard nothing unusual,I knew they weren’t digging under the front of the shop.So I concluded they were digging out the back.When I made enquiries at the bank and found out about the French gold,I knew I was right.And I guessed they’d take the gold on Saturday evening because the bank would be closed the next day and they’d have time to escape before the theft was noticed.”
