A Double Barrelled Detective Story

Published in 1902 by Harpers and Brothers, A Double Barrelled Detective Story was a novella in which the famous Sherlock Holmes is outwitted by a Archy Stillman who has an extraordinary sense of smell. While the central story involves a detective case, hence the appearance of Sherlock Holmes, it is preceded by a domestic situation involving Archy Stillman's father. Naturally, Twain brings these two arcs together by the close.
