"Sir. Thaddcus Sholto," said the little

man,

still jerking and smiling. "That is my name. You are Miss Morstan, of course. And these gentlemen"— ••This is -Mr. Sherlock Holmes and this Dr. Watson." "A doctor, eh?" cried he, much excited. "Have you your stethoscope? Might I ask you—would you have the kindness? I have grave doubts as to my mitral valve, if you would bo so very good. The aortic I may rely upon, but I should value your opinion upon the mitral."

I listened to his heart as requested, but was unable to lind anything amiss, save indeed that he was in an ecstasy of fear, for he shivered from head to foot. "It appears to bo normal," I said. "You have 110 cause for uneasiness." "You will excuse my anxiety', Miss Morstan," he remarked airily. "lama great sulTerer, and I have long had suspicions as to that valve. I am delighted to hear that they are unwarranted. Had your father, Miss Morstan, refrained from throwing a strain upon his heart he might have been alive now."

I could have struck the man across the face, so hoc was I at this callous and offliand reference to so delicate a matter. Miss Morstan sat down, and her face grew white to the lips. "'I knew in my heart that he was dead," paid site. "I can give you every information," said he, "and, what is more, I can do you justice, and I will, too, whatever Brother Bartholomew may say. I am so glad to have your friends here, not only as an escort to you, but also as witnesses to what I am about to do and say. The three of us can show a bold front to Brother Bartholomew. But let us have no outsiders, no police or officials. We can settle everything satisfactorily among ourselves without any interference. Nothing would aunoy Brother Bartholomew more than any publicity." Ho sat down upon a low settee and blinked at us inquiringly with his weak, watery blue eyes. "For my part," said Holmes, "whatever you may choose to say will go no further."

I nodded to show my agreement. "That is well! That is well!" said he. "May I offer you a glass of Chianti, Miss Morstan? Or of Tokay? I keep no other wines. Shall I opeii a flask? No? Well, then, I trust that yc have no objection to tobacco smoke—to Lho mild, balsamic odor of the eastern tobacco. I am a little nervous, and I find my hookah an invaluablo sedative." He applied a taper to the great bowl, and the smoke bubbled merrily through the rosewater. Wo sat all three in a semicircle, with our heads advanced and our chins upon our hands, while the strange, jerky little fellow, with his high, shining head, puffed uneasily in the center. "When I first, determined to make this communication to you, "said he, "I might have given out my address, but I feared that you might disregard my request and bring unpleasant people with you. I took the liberty, therefore, of making an appointment in such a way that my man Williams might be able to see you first. I have complete confidence in his discretion, anil lie had orders, if lie were dissatisfied, to proceed

further in the matter. You

will excuse these precautions, but I am a man of somewhat retiring, and I might even say refined, tastes, and there is nothing more uniesthet ie hail a policeman. I have a natural shrinking from all form of rough materialism. I seldom come in contact with the rough crowd. I live, as you see, with some little atmosphere of elegance around me. I may call myself a patron of the arts. It is my weakness. The landscape is a genuine Corot, and though a connoisseur might perhaps throw a doubt uiion that Salvator Rosa thero cannot bo the least question about the Bouguereau. I am partial to tlio modern French school." "You will excuse me, Mr. Sholto," said Miss Morstan, "but I am here at your request to learn something which you ilesiro to tell me. It is very late, and I should desire the interview to bo as short as possible." "At tho best it must tako sometime," he answered, "for wo shall certainly have to go to Norwood and see Brother Bartholomew. Wo shall all go and try if wo can get tho better of Brother Bartholomew. Ho is very angry with me for taking the course which has seemed right to me. I had quite high words with lnm last night. You cannot imagine wliat a terriblo fellow he is when he is angry "If we are to go to Norwood, it would perhaps bo as well to start at once," I ventured to remark.

He laughed until his ears were quite red. "That would hardly do," he cried. "I don't know what he would say if I brought you in that sudden way. No, I must prepare you by showing you how wo all stand to each other. In tho first place, I must tell you that thero aro several points in the story of which I am myself ignorant. I can only lay tho facts beforo •you as far as I know them myself. "My father was, as you may bavo guessed, Major John Sholto, once of tho Indian army. He retire^ some 11 years ago and camo to live at Pondicherry Lodge, in Upper Norwood. Ho had prospered in India and brought bank with him a con•idcrablo sum of money, a largo collection of valuable curiosities and a staff of native servants. With these advantages ho bought himself a house and lived in great luxury. My twin brother Bartholomew and I wero the only children. "I very well remember tho sensation which was caused by the disappearance of (Haptain Morstan. Wo read the details in the papers, and knowing that ho had been a friend of bur father's we discussod tho •ase freely in his presence. Ho used to join in our speculations as to what could liavo happened. Never for an instant did we suspect lliat he had the whole secret Wddi?n ia his own breast that o£ all men

Be alono knew the fate of Arthur Morstan. "Wo did know, however, that some mystery, some positive danger, overhung our father. He was very fearful of going out alone, and he always employed two prizefighters to act as porters at Pondicherry Lodge. Williams, who drove you tonight, was one of -them. He was once lightweight champi&i of England. Our father would never tell us what it was ho feared, but he had a most marked aversion to men with wooden legs. On one occasion he actually fired his revolver at a wooden legged man, who proved to be a harmless tradesman canvassing for orders. We had to pay a large sum to hush tho matter up. My brother and I used to think this a mere whim of my father's, but events have since led us to change our opinion. "Early in 1SS2 my father received a letter from India which was a great shock to him. He nearly fainted at the breakfast table when ho opened it, and from that day ho sickened to his death. What was in the letter we could never discover, but I could see as he held it that it was short and written in a scrawling hand. He had suffered for years from an enlarged 1 spleen, but he now became rapidly worse, and toward tho end of April we were informed that he was beyond all hope, and that ho wished to make a last communication to us. "When we entered the room, ho was propped up with pillows and breathing heavily. He besought us to lock the door and to come up on either side of the bed. Then, grasping our hands, ho made a remarkable statement to us in a voice which was broken as much by emotion as by pain. I shall try to give it to you in his own very words. 'I have only 0110 thing,' I10 said, 'which weighs upon my mind at this supreme moment. It is my treatment of poor Morstan's orphan. Tho cursed greed which has been my besetting sin through lifo had withheld from her the treasure, half at least of which should have been hers. And yet I have made no use of it myself, so blind and foolish a thing is avarice. Tho mere feeling of possession has been so dear to me that I coulil not bear to share it with another. See that ehaplet tipped with pearis beside tho quinine bottle. Even that I could not bear to part with, although I had got it out with tho design of sending it to her. You, my sons, will give her a fair share of the Agra treasure. But send her nothing, not even the ehaplet, until I am gone. After all, men have been as bad as this and have recovered. 'I will tell vou how Morstan died,' he continued, 'lie had suffered for years from a weak heart, but ho concealed it from every one. I alone knew it. When in India, he and I, through a remarkable chain of circumstances, camo into possession of a considerable treasure. I brought it over to England, and on the night of Morstan's arrival he came straight over

here to claim his share. He walked over from the station and was admitted by my faithful old Lai Chowilar, who is now dead. Morstan and I had a difference of opinion as to tho division of tho treasure, arvl we came to heated words. Morstan had sprung out of his chair in a paroxysm of anger, when ho suddenly pressed his hand to his side, his face turned a dusky hue, and he fell backward, cutting his head against the cornor of the treasure chest. When I stooped over him, I found, to my horror, that he was dead. 'For along time I sat half distracted, wondering what I should do. My first impulse was, of course, to call for assistance bjt could not but recognize that there was every ehanco that I would bo aceuecd of his murder. His death at the moment of a quam" and tho gash in his head wnu'il be bl .,g iiiict me. Again an official inquj Ck. run bo mailo without bringing ",mc f: ts about the treasure wiuou 1 was partvnilariy anxious to keep secret. He had told me that 110 soul upon earth know vhero he had gone. There seemed bo r.. necessity why any soul ever should know. 'I was still pondering over the matter when, looking up, I saw my servant, Lai Chowilar, in the doorway. He stole in and bolted the door behind him. 'Do 1 not fear, sahib,' he said. "No one need 1 know that, you have killed him. Lot us I hide him away, and who is tho wiser?' "I did not kill him,' said 1. Lai Chowilar shook his head and smiled. 'I heard it all, sahib,' said he. "I heard you quarrel, and I heard the blow. But my lips aro sealed. All are asleep in the house. Let us put him away together.' That, was enough to decide me. If my own servant could not believe my innocence, how could I hope to make it good boforo 12 foolish tradesmen in a jury box?

Lai Chowilar and I disposed of the body that night, and within a few days tho London papers were full of tho mysterious disappearance of Captain Morstan. You will see from what I say that I can hardly bo blamed in the matter. My fault lies in tho fact that wo concealed not only tho body, but also tho treasuro, and that I have clung to Morstan's share as well fs to my own. I wish you, therefore, to make restitution. Put your ears down to my mouth. Tho treasure is hidden in'— At this instant a horriblo chango came over his expression. His eyes stared wildly, his jaw dropped, and he yelled in a voice which I can never forget: 'Keep him out. For Christ's sake, koep him out!' We both stared round at the window behind us upon which his gaze was fixed. A face was looking in at us out of tho darkness. We could see the whitening of tho nose where it was pressed against the glass. It was a bearded, hairy face, witn wild, cruel eyes and an expression of concentrated malevolence. My brother and 1 rusliod toward the window, but tho man was gone. When wo returned to my father, his head had dropped and his pulse had ceased to be it "Wo searched tiie garden that night, but found no sign of the intruder, save that just under the window a singlo footmark was visiblo in tho flower bed. But for that one traco we might have thought that our imaginations had conjured up that wild, fierce face. We soon, however, had another and a more striking proof that there were secret agencies at work all round us. Tho window of my father's room was found open in tho morning, his cupboards and boxes had boen rifled, and upon his chest was fixed a torn pieco of paper with the words, 'The sign of the four,' scrawled across it. What the phrase meant or who our secret visitor may have been we never knew. As far as we can judgo, none of my father's property had been aotually stolen, though everything had been turned out. My brother and I naturally associated this peculiar incident with tho fear which haunted my father during his life, but it is still a complete mystery to us."

The little man stopped to relight his hookah and puffod thoughtfully for a few moments. We had all sat absorbed, listening to his extraordinary narrative. At tho short account of her father's death Miss Morstan had turned deadly white,

and for a moment I feared that"she was about to faint. She rallied, however, on drinking a glass of water which I quietly poured out for her from a Venetian carafe upon the side table. Sherlock Holmes leaned back in his chair with an abstracted expression and the lids drawn low over his glittering eyes. As I glanced at him I could not but think how 011 that very day he had complained bitterly of thecommonplaccness of life. Here at least was a problem which would tax his sagacity to the utmost. Mr. Thaddcus Sholto looked from one to the other of us with an obvious pride at the effect which his story had produced and then continued between tho pulls of his overgrown pipe. "My brother anil I," said he, "were, as you may imagine, much excited as to the treasure which my father had spoken of. For weeks and for months we dug and delved in every part of tho garden without discovering its whereabouts. It was maddening to think that the hiding place was 011 his very lips at the moment that he died. We could judge the splendor of tho missing riches by tho ehaplet which he had taken out. Over this ehaplet my brother Bartholomew and I had some little discussion. The pearls were evidently of great value, and he was averse to part with them, for between friends my brother was himself a little inclined to my father's fault. He thought, too, that if we parted with the ehaplet it might give rise to gossip and finally bring us into trouble. It was all that I could do to persuade him to let me find ^ut Miss Morstan's address and send her a detached pearl at fixed intervals, so that at least she might never feel destitute."

Why Are Our American Cattle Excluded?

WORK FOR MINISTER EUSTIS.

A Long and Tedious Examination Is About

to Ue Begun by Expert Veterinarians to

Find Out if American Cattle Are lteally

Unhealthy or Not Otlier lie«trictiou»

"Feared. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2(5.—Mr. Eustis. our ambassador to France, will be instructed to enter a prompt, and vigorous protest against the French decree just made, excluding American cattle from France. As the decree is ostensibly based on the existence of pleuro-pneu-monia and Texas fever in cattle coming from the United. States, the ambassador will call for proof of the fact.

That will mean long and tedious expert examinations by veterinarians and much correspondence, which is not expected to be of any more available than that into which Mr. Runyon, our ambassador to Germany, was plunged by the issue of a similar decree by the German government, for it is fully realized here that the allegation that American cattle are unhealthy is the merest pretense in both cases and that the real reason is fear of American competition.

In the case of France the press cable dispatches have shown that the ministry has been urged to the issue of the decree by delegation after delegation representing the numerous and well-organ-ized agricultural societies of the republic, solely for their protection against the American cattle growtr. In order to grant the demand and yet, at the same time, to avoid the charge that France was violating the most favored nation clause in its treaty with the United States, which would properly lie if the latter were singled out from otlier nations for an attack of this kind, it was necessary that recourse should be had to the device which had availed Germany so well of charging unhoalthfulness upon American cattle. This change is always hard to rebut owing to the ease with which expert testimony may be had on either side of the case.

The American trade in cattle with France lias grown to considerable jiroportions, the shipments during six months ended Dec. 31 last being 13,441 head, and during the month of January last 801 head.

Secretary Morton was careful about expressing his opinion touching the French decree, but it could be seen that he regarded it as a mere political manifestation and felt that it would not be continued in force for r.ny considerable length of time and that the next change in the French cabinet would probably be followed by the revocation of the decree.

Notwithstanding this the belief is growing and deepening here that these decrees are but forerunners of other and more severe restrictions upon American trade, the next blow, perhaps, being likely to fall upon wheat. It is understood that these are not adopted as retaliatory measures, but are manifestations of the growth of the protective sentiment in continental Europe, and grow out of the necessity the governments are under of conceding something to the great agricultural classes.

Touching the allegation of the existence of disease among American cattle, Secretary Morton says there has not been one case of pleuro-pneumonia in the United States during the past three years, and that even if there had been cattle suffering from Texas fever anion 2 the carefully inspected herds shipment to Europe, the disease, being noncontagious, could do 110 harm there.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.

Well Laid Scheme Fails on Account {of ai: Overlook.

TUCSON, A. T., Feb. 20.—When the westbound overland reached Syeiiit Pass last night, shortly after 0 o'clock, two masked men appeared on the station platform, armed with six-shooters. One of them got into the engine and covered the fireman and engineer with guns and told them to cut off the cat next to the tender, and as soon as this was done, the engineer was ordered tc proceed. When they had gone about three miles they stopped.

The bandits carried a sackfull of what appeared to be dynamite. Tl is they placed beside the roadbed when the engine started, and then they discovered they had left the express car behind. The bandits indulged in considerable strong talk, and then mounting horses that were fastened to trees nearby, they rode to the south. The engine and cat returned to the rest of the train. The passengers were badly scared. Many of them crawled under the seats and remained there until assured that the danger was over.
