THE tariff is not a dead letter by any sneans. The people are doing some "fe kinking and know what has hit them.

IN four years Harrison's administration reduced the public debt by $233,000,--000. In two years Cleveland's administration has increased it $165,000,000. That's the difference between Republican

Democratic financiering.

AX unusually strong effort is being -made to hold an honest election in .CaiCAO'0 Tuesday. This is encouraging, indeed. If Chicago and New York can puify politics, the question of municipal reform in *he United States is settled.

FRIDAY WAS the hottest March day for a quarter of a century. The mercury was $6 degress at Chicago and the greatest heat at Wichita where it was 90 degrees. March came in like a lion and it is verifying the old saying by going out like a lamb.

THE official reports of the D?partmant -officers of the Grand Army of the Republic sh^ow that during the year 403 of the old boys have been mustered out by death One by one "the boys" are dropping off, and the annual reunions will soon begin to be smaller and smaller each year instead of larger. May the last days of the old soldiers be those of plenty and pleasantness.

MEATS in Chicago and^other-large cit£e 3 have been'advanced ,$5 per? ,cent. recently, and hogs aadj cattle 'have also advanced about 20 per cent. This feeling lias affected the egg market, which ha3 gone up in sympathy, and eggs are now siigher and will continue so. There •seems to be a great scarcity of cattle and hogs throughout the countrv. 1

DOES any one know of any markets tthat have been opened uu to American •a,ood3 by the passage of the Wilson tariff bill? That was the bill which the Democratic orators claimed would open up the markets of the world.'-' These markets 3iave never shown up. They are like the table "will o' the wisp," that continually tdauces on and on, quite alluring, but airways out of reach. What America wants to do is to retain her own market, the greatest and richest of the world.

NOT content with turning over the American markets to England, Mr.Cleveand and his laughable play-day Cabinet -secretly arrange to broadcast that country with interest bearing American bonds. By this arrangement the British capitalist can now invest his money profitably, while heretofore he was driven to putting &is means into the pauperized industries of his stupidly free trade country. Mr. Cleveland can be depended upon to go to liie rescue of England always when she ineeds help.—American Economist.

FARMERS, workingmen, every one, iliink on these things. You will remember Democratic orators have been telling us that to reduce the tariff in this country would open to us the markets of the world for our farm products and manutactured goods. Read the folio wingjjsta(fcisfcics:

During the seven month? ending with January, our exports of breadsfcuffs were valued at $86,809,534, a decrease of forty-five millions. The value of our exports of wheat declined from $43,867,768 to $26,997,137, of our corn from $18,•033,867 to $5,216,591, and of our wheat .from $43,956,200 to $31,878,933.

No, the Democratic idea is not the best one for this country. Let all voters .think and keep thinking and then vote for those principles which are for himself, iiis family and his neighbors.

"The date?" asked Holmes, opening his notebook. "He disappeared on the 3d of December, 1878, nearly ten years ago." "Kts luggage?" "Remained at the hotel. There was nothing in it to suggest a clew—some clothes, some books and a considerable number of curiosities from the Andaman islands. He had been one of the officers in charge of the convict guard there." "Had he any friends in town?" "Only one that we know of—Major Sholto of his own regiment, the Thirtyfourth Bombay infantry. The major had retired some little timo before and lived at Upper Norwood. We communicated ivith him, of course, but he did not even know that his brother officer was in England." "A singular case," remarked Holmes. "I have not yet described to you the most singular part. About six years ago —to be exact, upon the 4th of May, 18S2— an advertisement appeared in The Times asking for the address of Miss Mary Morstan and stating that it would bo to her advantage to come forward. There was no name or address appended. I had at that time just entered the family of Mrs. Cecil Forrester in the capacity of governess. By her advice I published my address in the advertisement column. The same day there arrived through the post a small cardboard box addressed to me, which I fourd to contain a very large and lustrous pearl. "No word of writing was inclosed. Since then every year upon the same date thero has always appeared a similar box containing a similar pearl without any clew as to the sender. They have been pronounced by an expert to be of* a rare variety and of considerable value. You can see for yourselves that they aro very handsome. She opened a flat box as she spoke and showed mo six of the finest pearls that I had ever seen. "Your statement is most interesting," said Sherlock Holmes. "Has anything else occurred to you?" "Yes, and no later than today. That is why I have come to you. This morning I received this letter, which you will perhaps read for yourself." "Thank you," said Holmes. "Tlio en velope, too, please. Postmark London, S. W., date July 7. Hum! Man's thumb mark on corner—probably postman. Best quality paper. Envelopes at eixpenco a packet. Particular man in his stationery. No address. 'Be at the third pillar from the left outside the Lyceum theater tonight at 7 o'clock. If you are distrustful, bring two friends. You are a wronged woman and shall have justice. Do not bring police. If you do, all will be in vain. Your unknown friend.' Well, really, this is a very pretty little mystery. What do you intend to do, Miss Morstan?" "That is exactly what I want to ask you." '•Then we shall most certainly go. You and I and—yes, why, Dr. Watson is tho very man. Your correspondent says two friends. Ho and I have worked together before." "But would he come?" she asked, with something appealing in her voice and expression. "I should bo most proud and happy," said I fervently, "if I can be of any service." "You are both very kind," she answered. "I have led a retired life and have no friends whom I could appeal to. If I am here at 6, it will do, I suppose?" "You must not be later," said Holmes. "There is one other point, however. Is this handwriting the same as that upon the pearl box addresses?" "I have them here," she answered, producing half a dozen pieces of paper. "You are certainly a model client. You have the correct intuition. Let us seo now." He spread out the papers upon the table and gave little darting glances from one to the other. Tliey are disguised hands except the letter," he said presently, "but there can be no question as to the authorship. See how the irrepressible Greek will break out, and see the twirl of the final s. They are undoubtedly by tho same person. I should not like to suggest false hopes, Miss Morstan, but is there any resomblance between this hand and that of your father?" "Nothing could be more unlike." "I expected to hear you say so. We shall look out for you then at 6. Pray allow me to keep the papers. 1 may look into the matter before then. It Is only half past 3. Au revoir, then." "Au revoir," said our visitor, and with a bright, kindly glance from one to tho other of us she replaced her pearl box in her bosom and hurried away. Standing at the windftw, I watched her walking briskly down the street until the gray turban and white feather were but a speck in the somber crowd. "What a very attractive woman!" I exclaimed, turning to my companion.

He had lit his pipe again ana was leaning back, with droc/ping oyielids. "Is she?" he said languidly. "I did not obstante. "You really are an automaton, a calculating machine," I cried. "There Is somethjnsr nositiVelv inhuman in vbii afc

He smiled gently, "it is of th'e lirst importance," ho said, "not to allow ydur judgment to be biased by personal qualities. A client is to me a mere unit, a factor In a problem. The emotional qualities aro antagonistic to clear reasoning.

flgEENFIELD REPUBLICAN THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1895.

"It fs legible and regular," I answered. "A man of business habits and some force of character."

Holmes shook his head. "Look at his long letters," he said. "They hardly rise above tho common herd. That might be an a and that 1 an e. Men of character always differentiate their long letters, however illegibly they may write. There is vacillation in his k's and self esteem in his capitals. I am going out now. I have some few references to make. Let me recommend this book, one of the most remarkable ever penned. It is Winwood Reade's 'Martyrdom of Man.' I shall be back in an hour."

I sat in the window with the volume in my hand, but my thoughts were far from tho daring speculations of the writer. My mind ran upon our late visitor—her smilei, the deep rich tones of her voice, the strange mystery which overhung her life. If she were 17 at the time of her father's disappearance, she must be 27 now —a sweet age, when youth has lost its self consciousness and become a little sobered by experience. So I sat and mused until such dangerous thoughts came into my head that I hurried away to my desk and plunged furiously into tho latest treatise upon pathology. What was I, an army surgeon with a weak leg and a weaker banking account, that I should daro to think of such things? She was a unit, a factor—nothing more. If my future were black, it was better surely to face it like a man than to attempt to brighten it by mere will-o'-the-wisps of tho imagination.

CHAPTER III.

It was half past 5 before Holmes returned. He was bright, eager and in excellent spirits—a mood which in his ease alternated with fits of the blackest depression. "There is no great mystery in this matter," he said, taking the cup of tea which I had poured out for him. "The facts appear to admit of only one explanation." "What! Have you solved it already?" "Well, that will bo too much to say. I have discovered a suggestivo fact, that is all. It is, however, very suggestivo. The details are still to bo added. I ha to just found, on consulting the back files of The Times, that Major Sholto of Upper Norwood, late of the Thirty-fourth Bombay infantry, died upon the 28th of April, 1882." "I may be very obtuse, Holmes, but I fail to see what this suggests." "No? You surpriso

1110.

Look at it in

this way, then. Captain Morstan disappears. Tho only person in London whom he could have visited is Major Sholto. Major Sholto denies having heard that ho was in London. Four years later Sholto dies. Within a week of his death Captain Morstan's daughter receives a valuablo present, which is repeated from year to year and now culminates in a letter which describes her as a wronged woman. What wrong can it refer to except this deprivation of her father? And why should the presents begin immediately after Sholto's death unless it is that Sholto's heir knows something of tho mystery and desires to mako compensation? Have you any alternative theory which will meet tho facts?" "But what a strango compensation! And how strangely made! Why, too, should ho write a letter now rather than six years ago? Again, the letter speaks of giving her justice. What justice can 6he have? It is too much to suppose that her father is still alive. Thero is no other injustice in her case that you know of." "There are difficulties, there are certainly difficulties," said Sherlock Holmes pensively. "But our expedition of tonight will solvo them all. Ah, here is a

four

wheeler, and Miss Morstan is inside. Arc you all rea^y? Then wo had better go down, for it is a littlo past the hour."

I pickcd up my hat and my heaviest stick, but I observed that Holmes took his revolver from his drawer and slipped it into his pocket. It was clear that ^o thought that our night's work might be a serious one.

Miss Morstan was muffled in a dark cloak, and her sensitive faco was composed, but pale. She must have been more than woman if she did not feel some uneasiness at tho strango enterprise upon which wo were embarking, yet her self control was perfect, and sho readily answered the few additional questions which Sherlock Holmes put to her. "Major Sholto was a very particular friend of papa's," she said. "His letters were full of allusions to the major. He and papa wero in command of the troops at the Andaman islands, so they were thrown a great deal together. By tho way, a curious paper was found in papa's desk which no one could understand. I don't suppose that it is of the slightest impnrtphcq, but I thought you might care to see it, sd I brought it with me. It i3 here."

Holmes enfolded the paper carefully and smoothed it out upon his knee. He then very methodically examined it all over with his double lens. "It is paper of native Indian manufacture" ho remarked. "It has at some time been pinned to a board. The diaCiaia uroa it usscars to be a clan of of a large biiiluing with "numerous"halls, corridors and passages. At

point is a

small cross done in red ink, and above it is '3.37 from left' in faded pencil writing. In tho left hand corner is a curious hieroglyphic liko four crosses in a line, with their arms.touching. Beside it is written in very rough and coarse characters, The sign of the four—Jonathan Small, Mohammed Singh, Adbullah Khan, DostAkbar.' No, -I confess that I do not seo how this bears Upon the matter. Yet it is evidently a document of importance. It has been kept carefully in a pockotbook, for the one side is as clean as the other." "It was In his pocketbook that we found it." "Preserve it carefully, then, Miss Morstan, for it may prove to be of use to us. I begin to suspect that this matter may turn out to bo much deeper and more subtle than I at first supposed. I must reconsider my ideas. He leaned back in tho cab, and I could see by his drawn brow and his vacant eye that ho was thinking intently. Miss Morstan and I chatted in an undertone about our present ekpedititin and its pontile outcohie, but our companion maintained his impe&e't&ble reserve until the "end of our journey.

It was a September evening and not yet 7 o'clock, but the day had been a dreary one, and a dense drizzling 'fbg lay low upon the great city. Mud colored clouds drooped sddly over the muddy streets. Down the Strand the lam'psy wero biit misty splotches of diffused light which threw a feeble circular glimmer upon tho slimy pavement. The yellow glare from the shop windows streamed out into tho steamy, vapoifoug air and 'threw a murky, shifting radiance across the' crowded 'thoroughfare. T|Ur6 was to my njiind1 tomething eerie and" ghostlike in the' endless procession of faces which flitted across these narrow bars of light—sad faces and glad, haggard and merry. Like all humdnkinC "'they, flfttted I from the sloom

into tne ngnt, and so bacK into the gloom once more. I am not subject to impressions, but the dull, heavy evening, with the strange business upon which we were engaged, combined to make me nervous and depressed. I could see from Miss Morstan's manner that she was suffering from the same feeling. Holmes alone could rise superior to petty influences. Ho held his open notebook upon his knee, and from time to time he jotted down figures and memoranda in the light of his pocket lantern. At the Lyceum theater the crowds were already thick at the side entrances. In front a continuous stream of hansoms and four wheelers were rattling up, discharging their cargoes of shirt fronted men and beshawled, bediamonded women. We had hardly reached tho third pillar, which was our rendezvous, before a small, dark, brisk man in the dress of a coachman accosted us. "Are jTou the parties who came with Miss Morstan?" he asked. "I am Miss Morstan, and these two gentlemen aro my friends," said she.

Ho bent a pair of wonderfully penetrating and questioning eyes upon us. "You will excuse me, miss," he said, with a certain dogged manner, "but I was to ask you to give me your word that neither of your companions is a police officcr." "I givo you my word on that," sho answered.

He gave a shrill whistle, on which a street Arab led across a four wheeler and opened the door. The man who had addressed us mounted to tho box, whilo wo took our places inside. We had hardly done so bofore the driver whipped up his horse, and wo plunged away at a furious pace through the foggy streets. Tho situation was a curious one. Wo were driving to an unjtnown placo on an unknown errand. Yet our invitation was cither a complete hoax, which was an inconceivable hypothesis, or else we had good reason to think that important issugs might hang upon our journey. Miss Morstan's demeanor was as resolute and collected as ever. I endeavored to cheer and amuse hor by reminiscences of my advontures in Afghanistan but, to tell tho truth, I was myself so excited at our situation and so curious as to our destination that my stories wcro slightly involved. To this day sho declares that I told her one moving anecdoto as to jtow a musket looked into my tent at the ftead of night, and how I fired a double barreled tiger cub at it. At first I had some idea as to the direction in which wo wcro driving, but soon, what with our pace, tho fog and my own limited knowledge of London, I lost my bearings and knew nothing save that wo seemed to bo going a very long way. Sherlock Holmes was never at fault, however, and ho muttered tho names as the cab rattled through squares and in and out by tortuous bystreets. "Rochester row," said ho. "Now Vincent square. Now wo come out

CHAPTER IV.

We followed tho Indian down the sordid and common passage, ill lit and worse furnished, until he came to a door upon the right, which he threw open. Ablaze of yellow light streamed out upon us, and in the center of the glare there stood a small man, with a very high head, a brist]fl_ptied _hair all around the frin^a of it. and tho bald, shining scalp, winch shoe out from among it like a mountain peak from fir trees. He writhed his hands together as lie stood, and his features were In a perpetual jerk, now smiling, now scolding, now scowling, but never for an instant in repose. Nature had given him a pendulous lip and a too visible line of yellow and irregular teeth, which he strove feebly to conceal by constantly passing his hand over the lower part of his face. In spite of his obtrusive baldness, he gave the impression of 'youth. In point of fact he had just turned his thirtieth year. "Your servant, Miss Morstan," he kept repeating in a thin, high voico. "Your servant, gentlemen. Pray step into my little sanctum'.' A small place, miss, but furnished to my liking. An oasis of art in the howjing desert of south London."

We were all astonished by the appearance of tho apartment Into which he invited us. In that sorry liou's6 it looked'as out of place as a diamond of the first water in a setting of brass. The richesp and glossiest'of curtains and tapestries draped the wails, looped back here and there to expose -some richly mounted painting or oriental vase. The carpet was of amber and black, so soft' and so thick that the foot sank1 pleasantly into it, as into abed of mosB. Two great tiger skins thrown athwart it increased the suggestion of eastern luxury," as did a huge hookah which stood upon a' mat in theJcbrriefc. A lamp in the fashion of a silver dove was hung from an almost invisible* golden wirp in the center of the room. As it burned it filled the air with a subtlo and aromatic odnE. _: [TO BE CONTINUED.]

tho

Vauxhall Bridgo road. Wo aro making for tho Surrey side apparently. Yes, I thought so. Now we aro on the bridge. You can catch glimpses of the river."

Wo did indeed get a fleeting view of the stretch of the Thames, with the lamps shining upon the broad, silont water, but our cab dashed on and was soon involved in a labyrinth of streets upon tho other side. "Wordsworth road," said my companion. "Priory road, Lark Hall lano, Stockwell place, Robert street, Cold Harbor lano. Our quest docs not appear to take us to very fashionable regions."

Wo had indeed reached a questionable and forbidding neighborhood. Long lines of dull brick houses wero only relieved by tho coarse glaro and tawdry brilliancy of public houses at tho corner. Then came rows of two storied villas, each with a fronting of miniature garden, and then again interminable lines of new staring brick buildings, tho monster tentacles which the giant city was throwing out into tho country. At last tho cab drew up at the third house in a new terrace. None of tho other houses was inhabited, and that at which we stopped was as dark as its neighbors, savofoi^a single glimmer in the kitchen window. On our knocking, however, tho door was instantly thrown open by a Hindoo servant clad in a yellow turban,white, loose fitting clothes and a yellow sash. There was something strangely incongruous in this oriental figure framed in tho commonplace doorway of a -third rate suburban dwelling houso. "The sahib awaits you," said he, and even as ho spoke thero came a high piping voice from some inner room. ''Show them In to mo, khitmutgar," It cried. "Show them straight in to me."
