They mav havo had some doubts at lirsc as to whether wo were really pursuing them, but now as wo followed every winding and .urnimr which they tool there could no longer be any question about it. At Greenwich Ave wcro about paces behind them. At lilackwall we could nut have been more than 250.

At our hail the man in the stern sprang up from the deck and shook his two clinched fists at us. eur.sing the while 111 a limli, cracked voice lie was a good sixeil, powerful man, and as he stood poising himself, with lens astride, I eouid see that -from the t'lii.rh downward there was but a wooden stump upon the right siilo. At the sound oi his strident, angry cries there was movement 111 the huddled bundle upon tin deck. It straightened itself into a little black man—the smallest I

Jiavo over seen—with a great, misshapen head and shock of tangled, disheveled liair Holmes had already drawn liis revolver, and I whipped out 1111110 at the sight of this savage, distorted crcature. He was wrapped 111 some sort of dark ulster or blanket which left only his face exposed, but that face was enough to give a man a sleepless night. Never havo I seen features so deeply marked with all bestiality and cruelty. IIis small eyes glowed and burned with a somber light, and his thick lips wore writhed back from his teeth, which grinned and chattered at us with a half animal lury "Fire ll he raises his hand," said Holmes quietly We were within a boat's length by this time and almost within touch ot our quarry. I cm see the two ot them now as they stood, the win to mail, with his logs lar apart, shrieking out curses, and the unhallowed dwarf, with his hideous faco and Ins strong yellow teeth gnashing at us 111 the light of our lantern.

It was well that we had so clear a view of him Even as wo looked ho plucked out lroiu under Ins covering a short:, round piece ol wood, like a school ruler, and clapped it to his hps. Our pistols rang out together. He whirled, round, threw up Ins arms, ar.il with a kind of choking cough loll sidewavs into tho stream. I caught one glimpse ot his venomous, menacing eyes amid the white swirl of the waters. At tho same moment the wooden legged man throw himsolt upon tho rudder and put it hard down, so that Ins boat made straight in (or the southern bank, while we shot, past her stern, onlv clearing her by a lew 1 e:-t. We wore round alter her in an instant, but she was already nearly at the bank. It was a wild and 'desolate place where the moon glimmered upon a wide expanse ot marsh land, with ttools of stagnant water and bods ol decaying vegetal ion The launch, with a dull thud, ran up upon the mud bank, with her bow in the air and her stern Hush with tho water The fugitive sprang out, but Ins stump instantly sank its whole length into the sodden soil. In vain ho struggled and writhed. Not one step could ho possibly take cither torward or backward Hovelled impotent rago and kicked frantically into the mud with his other foot, but his struggles only bored his wooden pin tho deeper into tho sticky bank. When we brought our launch alongsido, he was so firmly anchored that it was only by throwing the end of a rope over his shoulders that we were able to haul him out and to drag linn, like some evil fish, aver our side.

The two Smiths, father and son, sat sullenly in their launch, but came aboard zneekly enough when commanded Tho Aurora herself we hauled oft and mado fast to our stern. A solid iron chest ot Indian workmanship stood upon tho deck. This, there could be no question, was tho sa.1110 that had contained the ill omened treasure oi tho hholtos. There was no key, but it was of considerable weigl* so wo transferred it caretully to our own little cabin. As we steamed slowly up stream again wo flashed our searchlight in every direction, but there was no sign of tho islander. Somewhere in the dark ooze at tho bottom of tho Thames lie tho-bones of that strange visitor to our shores. •See hero," said Holmes, pointing to tho wooden hatchway. '"We were, hardly quick onough with our pistols."

There, sure enough, just behind whero •wo had been standing, stuck one of t.hoso murderous darts which wo knew so well. It must havo whizzed between us at tho instant we fired. Holmes smiled at it and shrugged his shoulders in his easy fashion. but I confess that, it turned mo sick 'to think ot the horrible death which had passed so oloso to us that night.

CHAPTER XT.

Our captive sat in tho cabin opposite to tlio iron box which ho had done so much and waited so long to gain. Ho was a sunburned, reckless eyed fellow, with a aitwork of lines and wrinkles all over Ins mahogany features, which told of a Jhttrd, open air life. Thero was a sin prominence about his bearded chin V#iich marked a man who was not to be ffSBilV lijo riirnrMO. jjif n/JO

may nave occn oo or tliereabouts, for his black, curly hair was thickly shot with gray His fr.ee in repose :s not an unplcasing one, though his heavy brows and aggressive cl in gave him, as I had lately seen, a terrible expression when moved to anger lie sat now with his handcuffed hands upon his lap and his head sunk upon his breast, while he looked with his keen, twinkling eyes at the box which had been the cause of his ill doings. It seemed to me that thero was moro sorrow than anger in his rigid and contained countenance Once he looked up at me with agleam of something like humor in. his eyes. ''Well, .Jonathan Small," said Holmes, lighting a cigar, 'I am sorry that it. has 701110 to this." "And so am I, sir," ho answered frankly. "I don't believe that I can swing over the job I give my word on the book that I never raise:1 my hand against Mr. Sholto. It was that little hell hound Tonga who shot one of his cursed darts into him. I had no part in it, sir. I was as grieved as if it had boon my blood relation. I welted tho little devil with the slack end of the rope for it, but it was done, and I could not undo it again." "Have a cii'ar," said Holmes, '"and you had best take a putl out of my llii.sk, for you are, very wet. How could you expect so small and weak a man as this black follow to overpower Mr. Sholto and hold him while you wore climbing the rope?" "You seem to know as much about it as if you were thero, sir. The truth is that I hoped to luid the room clear. I knew tho habits of the house pretty well, and it was the time when Mr. Sholto usually went down to lus supper. make no secret of the business. The best defense that 1 can make is just the simpie truth. Now, if it had been tho old major, I would havo swung for him with a light heart. I would have thought nr, more of knifing him than of smoking this cigar Hut it cursed hard that I should be lagged over this young Hiolto, with whom I had no quarrel whatever." -'You are under the charge of Mr. Athelnev .lones of eotland Yard. lie is gonig to bring you up to my rooms, and I shall ask you lor a true account of the matter. i.a must make a clean breast of it. for l! you do I hope that I may be I of use to you J. flunk I can prove that the poison acts so quickly that the man was I dead before you over reached the room." "That ho was, sir. I never got. such a turn in my lift? as when I saw him grmnmg at mo with his head on his shoulder as I climbed through tho window. It fairiv shook me, sir. I'd have half killed

Tonga lor it if lie had not scrambled off. That was how ho came to leave his club and some of his darts, too, as ho tolls me. which, I dare say, helped to put you on I our track, though how you kept on ii is more than I can tell. .1 don't feel no malice against you for it. But it does seem a queer thing, he added, with a bitter smile, "that I, who havo a fair claim to nigh upon half a million of money, should spend the first half of my life building a breakwater in the Andaman* and am like to spend the other half diggin drains at Dartmoor. It was %ji evil day for me when first I clapped eyes upon the merchant Achniet and had to do with the Agra treasure, which never brought anything but a curse yet upon the man who owned it. To him it brought murder to Major Sholto it brought fear and guilt to me it has meant slavery for life."

At this moment Athelncy Jones thrust his broad face and heavy shoulders into tho tiny cabin. "Quito a family party," he remarked. "I think I shall have a pull at that flask, Holmes. Well,* think wo may nil congratulate each other. Pity wo didn't take the other alive, but thero was no choice I say, Holmes, you must confess that you cut it rather fine. It was all wo could do to overhaul her. "All is veil that ends well," said Holmes. Hut I certainly did not know that tho Aurora was such a clipper." "Smith says she is one of the fastest launches on tho river, and that if ho had had another man to help him with tho engines we should never havo caught her. I Ho swears he knew nothing of this Norwood business." "N'eit.'ior he did." cried our prisoner, "not a word. I chose his launch because 1 hoard that she was a flier. We told him nothing, but wo paid him well, and lie was to get something handsome if wo reached our vessel—the Esmeralda—at (Jravesend, outward bound for the Brazils." I "Well, it ho has done no wrong, wo I shall see that no wrong comes to him. If wo are pretty quick in catching our men, we are not so nick in condemning them."

It was amusing to notice how the conI sequential Jones was already beginning to give lnmself airs on the strength of the capture. From tho slight smile which played over Sherlock Holmes' face I could see that tho speech had not been lost upon lnm "We will be at Vauxhall bridge presont'ly," said Jones, "and shall land you,

Dr. Watson, with tho treasure box. 1 need hardly tell you that I am taking a I vorv grave responsibility upon myself in I doing this. It is most irregular, but of course an agreement is an agreement. I must, however, as a matter of duty, send an inspector w.ith you. since you have so valuable a charge You will drive, no doubt-"' "Yes, I shall drive." "It is a pity there is no key, that we may make an inventory first. You will havo to break it open. Whero is the key, I my man!'" I "At the bottom of the river," said Small shortly. "Hum! Thero was no use your giving this unnecessary trouble. Wo have had work enough already through you. However, doctor, I need not warn you to bo careful. Bring tho box back with you to tin Baker street rooms. You will find us there, on our way to tho station."

They landed mo at Vauxhall, with my heavy iron box and with a bluff, genial inspector as my companion. A quarter of an hour's drive brought us to Mrs. Cecil Forrester's. The servant seemed surprised at so late a visitor. Mrs. Cecil Forrester was out for the evening, she explained, and likely to bo out very late. Miss Morstan, however, was in tho drawing room, so to the drawing room I went, box in hand, leaving the obliging inspector in tho cab.

She was seated by tho open window, dressed in nome sort, of white diaphanous material, with a little touch of scarlet at tho nock nnil waist. Tho soft light of a shaded lamp fell upon her as she leaned back in tho basket chair, playing over her sweet, grave faco and tinting with a dull metallic snarkle the rich coils of her luxuriant hafr, one white arm nnil hand drooped over the side of tho chair, and her whole pose .*11111 figure spoke of an absorbing melancholy. At the sound of my footfall she sprang to her feet, however, and a bright flush of surprise and pleasuro colored her palo cheeks. "I heard a cab drive up," sho said. "I thought that Mrs. Forrester had come back very early, but I never dreamed that

ID mignc DO you. What news have you brought me?" "I have brought something better than news," said I, putting down the box upon the tablo and speaking jovially and boisterously, though my heart was hcaw within 1110. 'I have brought you something which is worth all the news in the world. I havo brought you a fortune."

Sho glanced at the iron box. "Is that tho treasure, then?" sho asked, coolly enough. •'Yes, this is tho great Agra treasure. Half of it is yours, and half is Thaddeus Sholto's. You will have a couplo of hundred thousand each. Think of that! A11 annuity of £10,000. There will be few richer young ladies in England. Is it not glorious think that I must have been rather overacting my delight, and that she detected a hollow ring in my congratulations, for I saw her eyebrows rise a little, and sho glanced at me curiously. "If I have it, "said she, "I owo it to you." "No, no," I answered, "not. tome, but to my friend Sherlock Holmes. With all the will in the world I could never havo followed up a clew which has taxed even his analytical genius. As it was, we very nearly lost it at tho last moment "Pray, sit down and tell 1110 all about it, I)r. Watson," said she.

I narrated briefly what had occurred since I had seen her last—Holmes' new method of search, the discovery of tho Aurora, the appearance of Athelncy Jones, our expedition in the evening and tho wild chase down the Thames. She listened with parted lips and shining eyes to my

No wonder that it was heavy. The iron work was two-thirds of an inch thick all round. It was massive, well made and solid, liko a chest constructed to carry things of great price, but not ono shred or crumb of metal or jewelry lay within it. It was absolutely and completely empty. 1 1 "Tho treasure is lost said Miss Mor- 1 stall calmly.

As I listened to the words and realized I what they meant a great shadow seemed to pass from my soul. I did not know how this Atira treasure had weighed me down until now that it was finally removed. It was selfish, no doubt, disloyal, I wrong, but I could realize nothing save that the golden barrier was gone from botween us. "Thank God!" I ejaculated I from my very heart.

She looked at me with a quick, ques-

tioning smile. "Why do you say that?" she asked. "Because you aro within my reach again," I said, taking her hand. Sho did not withdraw it. "Because I love you, Mary, as truly as ever a man loved a wornan. Because this treasure, tlieso riches, sealed my lips. Now that they fire gone I can tell you how I love you. That is why I said, 'Thank Hod!' ''Then I say "Thank God!' too," sho 1 whispered as I drew her to my side. Whoover had lost a treasure, I knew that night

that I had geniid one.

1 :A very patient man was tho inspector in 1 the cab, for it was a weary time before 1 rejoined him. His faco clouded over when

I showed him tho empty box. "There ^oes tho reward!" said lie aloom1 ily. "Where there is no money there is 110 I pay. This nifjht's work would have been I worth a tenner each to ,Sam Brown and I 1110 if the treasure had been there." ''Mr. Thadileus Sholto is a rich man,"

I said. lie will seo that you aro rewardI ed, treasure or no." 1 The inspector shook his head despond1 ently, however. "It's a bad job," he repeated, "and so Mr. Athclney Jones will I think.'

His forecast proved to be correct, for tho detective looked blank enough when 1 got I to Baker street and showed him the empty box. They had only just arrived, Holmes, I tho prisoner and he, for they had changed their plans so lar as to report themselves at a station upon tho way. My companion lounged in his armchair with his usual listless expression, while Small sat stolidly opposite to him with his wooden le^ cocked over his soil nil one. As I exhibited the empty box ho leaned back in his chair and laughed aloud. "This is your doing, Small," said

Athelncy Jones angrily. "Yes, I havo put it away whero you shall never lay hand upon it, "lie cried

treasure into tho Thames rather than let it go to kith or kin of Sholto or of Morstan. It was not to mako them rich that wo did for Achmet. You'll find tho treasure where the key is and where little Tonga is. When I saw that, your launch must catch us, I put tho loot in a safo place. There aro 110 rupees for you this journey." "You are deceiving us, Small," said Athelncy Jones sternly. "If you had wished to throw the treasure into tho Thames, it would have been easier for you to have thrown box and all."

[TO BE CONTINUED.]

of tho dart which had so narrowly missed us, sho turned so white that I feared she was about to faint. "It is nothing," sho said as I hastened to pour her out some water. "I am all right again. It was a shock to mo to hear that I had placed my friends in such horrible peril.' "That is all over. I answered. "It was not.hin.g- I will tell you no moro gloomy details. Let us turn to something brightor. There is the treasure. What could bo brighter than that? I got leave to bring it with me, thinking that it would interest you to bo tho first to see it." "It would be of tho greatest interest to I me," she said. Thero was no eagerness in her voice, however. It struck her doubtless that it might seem ungracious upon her part to be indifferent to a prize which had cost so inch to win. "What a pretty box!" she said, stooping over it. "Tins is Indian work, I supposv?" *j "Yes, it is Benares metal work." "Anil so heavy!" sho exclaimed, trying to raiso it. "The box alone must bo of some value. Where is the key?" "Small threw it into the Thames," I answered. "I must borrow Mrs. Forrester's poker." There was in the front a thick and broad hasp, wought in the image of a sitting Buddha. Under this I thrust the end of the poker and twisted it out ward as a lever. The hasp sprang open with a loud snap. With trembling fingers I flung back the lid. Wo both stood gazing in astonishment- The box was empty!

exultantly. "It is my treasure, and if I can't have tho loot I'll take darned good I care that, 110 ono else does.

Alexander tho (Jroat overran tho whole earth and subdued every nation, and at the conclusion of universal victory lie sat down and wept like a child because he had not another world to conquer. We read also of a Roman emperor, who had run tho round of all the pleasures in tho world, offering a rich reward to any one who should discover a new pleasure. Cyrus, the conqueror, thought that for a little time he was making a lino thing out of this world. Yet before ho came to liis grave he wrote out this pitiful epitaph for his monument: "I am Cyrus. I occupied the Persian empire. I was king over Asia. Begrudge 1110 not this monument." Lut the world in after years plowed up his sepulcher. Pope Adrian VI had this inscription 011 his monument: "Here lies Adrian VI, who was never so unhappy 111 any period of his life as that which he was a prince. "I, smtul wretch, by tho graco of God king ot England and of Franco and lord ot Ireland, bequeath to Almighty God my sinitil sou! and the hie I have misspent, whereof I put myself wholly at Ins grace and mercy"—so wrote Henry IV in his ia: will, when the irignuul reality' of leprosy had disenchanted tho rapturous dream ot usurpation. Queen Elizabeth, dying, cried, "Millions of money lor an inch of time. Was the gay queen liappy? The history of icings and queens proves that, though their crowns may be "set with diamonds or Indian stones," tho kings and queens theni-

Man's soul thirsts and longs for something nobler, brighter, greater and better than the world itself. As Macduff says, "As well try to fill tho yawning chasm with a few grams of sand as satisfy tho gulf of tho soul's desires with tho pleasures of an empty world. Nothing can satisfy tho soul but God.
