"It was a kindly thought," said our companion earnestly. "It was extremely good of you."

The little main waved his hand deprecatingly. We were your trustees,'' he said. "That was the view which I took of it, though Brother Bartholomew could not altogether see it in that light. Wc had plenty of money ourselves. I desired no more. Besides it would have been such bad taste to have treated a young lady in so scurvy A fashion. 'LJJ mauvais gout mene an crime.' Tho French have a very neat way of putting these things. Our difference, of opinion on this subject went so tar that I thought it best to set up rooms tor myself. So I left Pondicherry Lodge, t.akimr the old kbit imn gar and Williams with me. Yesterday, however, I learned that an event of extreme importance had occurred. The treasure has been discovered. I instantly cummunieted with i\Iiss .Morstan. and it only remains for us to drive mil to Norwood and demand our share. I explained my views last night to Brother Bartholomew. So we shall be expected if not welcome visitors."

Mr. Thaddeus Sholto ceased and sat twitching on his luxurious settee. We all remained silent, with our thoughts upon the new development which the mysterious business han taken. Holmes was the first to spring to ais feet.

You have dons wolf, sir. from first to liisr.," said he. "It is possible that wo may be able to make you some small return by throwing some light upon that which is still dark to you. But, as Miss Morstan remarked just now, it is late, and we had best put the matter through without delay."

Our new acquaintanco very deliberately coiled up the tube of his hookah and produced from behind a curtain a very long Ijiii'.-ogg'ed topcoat with astrakhan collar cull's. This ho buttoned tightly up an spite of the extreme closeness of the flight and finished his attire bj' putting on a rabbit skin cap with hanging lappets which covered the ears, so that no part of him was visible save his mobile and peaky face. "My health is somewhat fragil«." he remarked as ho led the way down the passage. "I am compelled to be a valetudinarian."

Our cab was awaiting us outside, and our programme was evidently prearranged, for the driver started off at once at a rapid pace. Thaddeus Sholto talked incessantly in a voice which rose high above tho rattle of the wheels. "Bartholomew is a clever fellow, "said he. "How do you think he found out where the treasure was? He had come to the conclusion that it was somewhere indoors, so he worked out all the cubic space of the house and made measurements everywhere, so that not one inch should be unaccounted for. Among other things, lie found that the height of the building was 74 feet, but on adding together the heights of all the separate rooms and making every allowance for the space between, which lie ascertained by borings, he could not bring the total to more than 70 feet.

here were four feet unaccounted

for. These could only be at the top of the building, lie knocked a hole, therefore, in too lath and plaster ceiling of the highest room. and there, sure enough, ho came upon another little garret above it, which had been scaled up and was known to no one. In the (-enter stood the treasure chest, resting upon two rafters. He lowend it ihrough the hole, ami there it. lies. Ho computes the value of tho jewels at not less than half a million slerling."

At the mention of this gigantic sum wo all stared at one another open eyed. .Miss Morstan, could we secure her rights, would change from a needy governess to the richest, heiress in Kngland. Surely it was the place ol a loyal friend to rejoice at such news, yet. Iam ashamed to say that selfishness took me by the soul, and that my heart, turned as heavy as lead within me.

I stammered out some few halting words of conurat ub-t ion and then sat downcast, with my head drooped, deaf to the babble of our new rrquaintanee. He was clearly a confirmed hypochondriac, and I was dreamily conscious that ho was pouring forth intc rin table trains of symptoms and imploring information as to the composition and action of innumerable quack nost rums, somo of which he bore about in ::a leather case in his pocket. 1 trust t,h :t', he may not 3 'member any of tho answers which I gave him that night. Holmes declares hat, he overheard mo caution him against ilie great danger of taking nioro than two drops of castor oil, while I recommended strychnine in largo doses as a sedative. However that may be, I was scert.ainly relieved when our cab pulled up •i with a jerk and tho coachman sprang down to

open

the door.

"This, Miss Morstan, is Pondicherry Lodge," said Mr. Thaddeus Sholto as ho handed her out.

CHAPTER V.

It was nearly 1 o'clock when wo reached this final stage of our night's adventures. We had loft the damp fog of tho great city behind us, and tho night was fairly fine. A warm wind blow from the westward, and heavy clouds moved slowly across tho sky, with half a moon peeping occasionally through the rifts. It was clear enough to see for somo distance, but Thaddeus Sholto took down one of tho side lamps sfrom the carriage to givo us a better light ?»pon our way. r' Pondicherry Lodgo stood in its own ounds and was girt round with a very gh stone wall topped with broken glass.

single narrow iron clamped door formed -®ie only means of entrance. On this our wdUide knocked with a peculiar postman«^e ratfcat. "Who is there?" cried a gruff voice from -Within. "It is I, McMurdo. You surely know

W§ knock by this time." There was a grumbling sound and a •tanking and jarring of keys. Tho door 4VUnji heavily ha^k. and a shorty cle^n

chested man stood fn tho opening, witTi the yellow light of the lantern shining upon his protruded face and twinkling, distrustful eyes. "That you, Mr. Thaddeus? But who are the others? I had no orders about them from the master." "No, McMurdo? You surprise mo! I told my brother last night that I should bring some friends." "He hain't been out o' bis room today, Mr. Thaddeus, and I have no orders. You know very well that I must stick to regulations. I can let you in, but your friends they must just, stop where,they are."

This was an unexpected obstacle. Thaddeus Sholto looked about him in a perplexed and helpless manner. "This is too bad of you, McMurdo!" ho said. "If I guarantee them, that is enough for you. There is the young lady too. She cannot wait in tho public road at this hour." "Very sorry, Mr. Thaddeus," said the porter inexorably. "Folk may bo friends o' yours and yet no friends o' the master's. Ho pays me well to do my duty, and my duty I'll do. I don't know none o' your friends." "Oh, yes, you do, McMurdo," cried Sherlock Holmes genially. "I don't think you can have forgotten me. Don't you remember the amateur who fought thi'ee rounds with you at Alison's rooms on the night of your benefit four years back?" "Not Mr. Sherlock Holmes!" roared the prizefighter. "God's truth, how could I have mistook you? If instead o' ftandin there so quiet you had just stepped up and given me that cross liito' yours under tho jaw I'd ha' known you without a question. Ah, you're one that has wasted your gifts, you have! You might have aimed high if you had joined the fancy." "You see, Watson, if all else fails me. I have still one of the scientific professions open to me," said Holmes, laughing. '•Our friend won't keep us out in the cold now, I am sure." "In you come, sir, in you come, you and your friends," he answered. "Very sorry, Mr. Thaddeus, but orders are very strict. Had to bo certain of yofir friends before I let them in."

Inside a gravel path wound through desolate grounds to a huge clump of a house, square and prosaic, all plunged ill shadow save where a moonbeam struck one corner and glimmered in a garret window. Tho vast size of tho building, with its gloom and its deathly silence, struck a chill to the heart. Kven Thaddeus Sholto seemed ill at case, and the lantern quivered and rattled in his hand. '•I cannot understand it," ho said.

'•Ther-- must bo somo mistake, I distinctly sold Bartholomew that we should be her", and yet there is no light in hia window. I do not know what to make of it." "Does he always guard the premises in this way?" asked. Jijlines. "Y'os, he has followed my father's custom. He was the favorite son, you know, and I sometimes think that my father may have told him more than he ever told me. That is Bartholomew's window up there where the moonshino strikes. It is quite bright, but there is no light from within, I think." "None," said Holmes. "But I see tho glint of a light in that little window beside the door." '•Ah, that is the housekeeper's room. That is where old Mrs. Bernstone sits. She can tell us all about it. But perhaps you would not mind waiting hero for a minute or two, for if we all go in together and she has had no word of our coming she may be alarmed. But hush. What is that?"

He held up the lantern, and his hand shook until the circles of light flickered and wavered all round us. Miss Morstan seized my wrist, and wc all stood with thumping hearts straining our ears. From tho great black house there sounded through the silent night the saddest and most pitiful of sounds—tho shrill, broken whimpering if a frightened woman. "It is Mrs. Bernstone," said Sholto. "She is tho only woman in tho house. Wait here. I shall be bo hack in a moment." Ho hurried for the door and knocked in his peculiar way. Wo could see a tall old woman admit him and sway with pleasure at the very sight of him. "Oh, Mr. Thaddeus, sir, I am so glad you have come! I am so glad you have come, Mr. Thaddeus, sir!" We heard her reiterated rejoicings until tho door was closed, and her voice died away into a m.ifiled monotone.

Our guide had left us the lantern. Holmes swung it slowly round and peered keenly at, tlx* house and at the great rubbish heaps which cumbered the grounds. Miss Morstan and I stood together, and her hand was in mine. A wondrous subtle thing is love, for hero wero wo two who had never seen each other before that day, between •whom no word or even look of affection had ever passed, and yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other. I have marveled at, it since, but at the time it seemed the most natural thing that I should go out to her so, and, as she lias often told mc, there was in her also the instinct to turn to me for comfort and protection. So we stood hand in hand, liko two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us. "What a strange place!" sho said, looking round. "It looks as though all tho moles in England had been let loose in it. I have seen something of the sort on tho side of a hill near JJ.dlarat whore tho prospectors had been at work." "And from tho samo cause," said Holmes. "These are tho traces of tho treasure seekers. You must remember that they wero six years looking for it. No wonder that tho grounds look liko a gravel pit."

At that moment tho door of tho house burst open,and Thaddeus Sholto came running out, with his hands thrown forward and terror in his eyes. "There is something amiss with Bartholomew, ho cried. "I am frightened. My nerves cannot stand it." Ho was indeed half blubbering with fear, and his twitching, feeble face peeping out from tho great astrakhan collar had tho helpless, appealing expression of a terrified child. "Como into tho house," said Holmes in his crisp, Arm way. "Yes, do," pleaded Thaddeus Sholto. "I really do not feel equal to giving directions."

We all followed him into the housekeeper's room, which stood upon the left hand side of tho passage. Tho old woman was pacing up and down, with a scared look and restless, picking finger?, but tho 6ight of Miss Morstan appeared to havo a 6oothing effect upon her. "God bless your sweet, calm face!" she cried, with a hysterical sob. "It does mo good to see you. Oh, but I havo boen sorely tried this day!"

Our companion patted her thin, work worn hand and murmured some few words of kindly womanly comfort which brought tho color back into tho other's bloodiest cheeks.

"Master has locked himself in and will not answer me," she explained. "All day I have waited to hear from him, for he often likes to be alone, but an hour ago I feared that something was amiss, so I went up and peeped through tho keyhole, You must go up, Mr. Thaddeus. You must go up and look for yourself. I have seeu Mr. Bartholomew Sholto in joy and I in sorrow for ten long years, but I never saw him with such a face on him as that." I

Sherlock Holmes took the lamp and led the way, for Thaddeus Sholto's teeth wero chattering in his head. So shaken was he that I had to pass my hand under his arm as we went up the stairs, for his knees were trembling under him. Twice as we ascended Holmes whipped his lens out of his pocket and carefully examined marks whicfiT appeared to me to be mere shapeless smudges of dust upon the cocoanut matting which served as a stair carpet. We walked slowly from step to step, holding the lamp low and shooting keen glances to right and left. Miss Morstan had remained with the frightened housekeeper.

The third flight of stairs ended in a straight passage of some length, with a great picture in Indian tapestry upon the right of it and three doors upon the left. Holmes advanced along it in the same slow and methodical way, while we kept close at his heels, with our long black shadows streaming backward down the corridor. The third door was that which we wore seeking. Holmes knocked without receiving any answer and then tried to turn the handle and force it open. It was locked on the inside, however, and by a broad and powerful bolt, as we could see when we set our lamp up against it. Tho key being turned, however, tho hole was not entirely closed. Sherlock bent

down to it and instantly rose again with a sharp intcking of the breath. "There is something devilish in this, Watson," said he, more moved than I had ever before seen him. "What do you .make of it?"

I stooped to the hole and. recoiled in horror. Moonlight was streaming into the room, and it was bright with a vague and shil'tly radiance. Looking straight at me and suspended, as it were, in the air, for all beneath was in shadow, there hung a face—the very face of our companion Thaddeus. There was the same high, shining head, the same circular bristle of red hair, tho same bloodless countenance. The features were set, however, in a horrible smile, a fixed and unnatural grin, which in that still anr1 moonlit room was more jarring to the

ncr'ves than any scowl or contortion. So like was the faco to that of our little friend that I looked round at him to make euro that ho was indeed with us. Then I recalled to mind that ho had mentioned to us that his brother and he were twins. "This is terrible," I said to Holmes. "What, is to be done?" ''The doo* must como down," he answered, and springing against it he put all his wcigl upon the lock It creaked and groaned, but did not yield. Together we flung ourselves upon it once more, and this time it gave way with a sudden snap, and we found ourselves within Bartholomew Sholto's chamber.

It appeared to have been fitted up as a chemical laboratory. A double line of glass stoppered bottles was drawn up upon tho wall opposite tho door, and the table was littered over with Bunsen burners, test tubes and retorts. In the corners stood carboys of acid in wicker baskets. One of those appeared to leak or to havo been broken, for a stream of dark colored liquid had trickled out from it, and tho air was heavy with a peculiarly pungent tarlike odor. A set of steps stood at one side of tho room

111

God's name, what does it all mean?" I asked. ''It means murder," said he, stooping over the dead man. "Ah, I expected it. Look hero!" He pointed to what looked liko a long, dark thorn stuck in the skin just above tho oar. "It looks liko a thorn," said I.

It is a thorn. You may pick it out. But bo careful, for it is poisoned." I took it up between my linger and thumb. It came aAVay from tho skin so readily that hardly any mark was left behind.

O110

the midst of a litter

of lath and plaster, and abovo them there was an opening in tho ceiling largo enough for a man to pass through. At tho foot of tho steps a long coil of rope was thrown carelessly together.

By tho table in a wooden armchair tho master of tlK house was seated a^l in a heap, with his head sunk upon his left shoulder and that ghastly, inscrutable smile upon his face. Ho was stiff and cold and had clearly been dead many hours. It seemed to mo that not only his features? hut all his limbs wero twisted and turned in tho most fantastic fashion, By his hand upon tho table there lay a I peculiar instrument—a brown, close grained stick, with a stono head liko a hammer, rudely lashed on with coarse

twine. Beside ib was a torn sheet of note paper, wit"' vomo words scrawled upon it. Holmes glanced at it and then handed it to

1110.

•'You see," he said, with a significant raising of tho eyebrows. In the light of the lantern I read with a thrill of horror, ''The sign of the four." "I11

tiny speck of blood showed

where the puncture had been. "This is all an insoluble mystery to me," said I. "It grows darker instead of clearer." "On tho contrary," ho answered, it clcars every instant. I only require a few missing links to havo an entirely connected case.''

Wo had almost forgotten our companion's preseneo since we entered tho chamber. Ho was still standing in tho door-

way, the very picture of terror, wringing I matter of principle, not because it is a his hands and moaning to himself. Suddenly, however, lie broke out into a sharp, querulous cry. "Tho treasuro is gone," ho said. "They havo robbed him of the treasuro. There is tho liolo through which wo lowered it. I helped him to do it. I was tho last person who saw him. I left him hero last night, and I heard him lock tho door as I came down stairs." "What timo was that?" "It 4vas 10 o'clock. Anil now he is dead, and tho police will bo called in, and I shall be suspected of having had a hand in it. Oh, yes, I am sure I shall. But you don't think so, gentlemen? Surely you don't think that it was I? Is it likely that I would have brought you here if it wero I? Oh, dear oh, dear! I know I shall go mad." IIo jerked his arms and stamped his feet in a kiud of convulsive frenzy. "You have no reason for foar, Mr. Sholto," said Holmes kindly, putting his hand upon his shoulder. Take my advice and drivo down to tho station to report tho matter to tho polico. Offer to assist them in every way. Wo shall wait hero until your return." Tho little inan obeyed in a half stupoficd fashion, and wo heard him stumbling down tho stairs in tho dark. [TO BE CONTINUED.]
