ub usual cccne to soe her that springand so she must p;i.v him the lonjr-prom-:.ied visit that he and his family hadhoped for so long in vaiu. Miss Marg1"-rei always smiled at the mention ofbrother 'Edward's "family." It hadbeen the hardest thing in the world toluake herself believe that the prettypink-and-wlute girl was really a wife,und that the sturdy three-year-old boywes Edward, Jr. The "baby" she hadnever seen, for the tiny maid had ar-rived since the "family" had been downlast May for its annual visit at Ed-ward's old home. Mrs. Edward—Lol-lie, as her husband always called her—wanted to take the new daughter backcast to see its maternal grandjiareiitsin a few weeks, so the sojourn in Tower-town would have to bo dispensed withfor that year. . Consequently there wasnothing left for. Miss Marg'rot to do butpack her little trunk IVMI set oit for aperilous journey to the great and awfulcity to see Edward and Edward, Jr.,dimpled, sweet-rnoutiieci LolUe, andbest of all the new baby, christenedMargaret, in honor of the prim, link1

It was a drowsy, sunny spring room-ins? when the train trai-cd into theTowertown station and found a veryflustered little lady on the platform.At the sound of the stopping of the husregrinding wheels Miss Margaret's thiniinsrers gripped closer the various baysand parcels which she insisted uponleaving to the care of no one else in theworld, much to the distress of the freck-led Tom, who ecig-ed close to her amiwondered why the "missus" had all atonce come to ihe conclusion that he wasnot-capable of managing her ulTairs, ashe had done since her father died 20years ago. It was a great point of woeto Tom, too, that he was not allowed togo clear to the city with Miss Marg'ret,lor she hadn't gone as far as the hillfarm or even to the cemetery in allthese years since Edward had moved tothe city, without the company of herfaithful servant. Still, she seemed benton taking things in her own bonds andTon shifted about from one leg to theother on the station platform, a degTeemore uneasy than was the worthy trav-eler herself.

As the train pulled out,,-pith thetrembling -Miss Marg'ret holdingbreath in the seat whore the solicitousporter hn<1 deposited her beneath herbundles, the poor lady's eyes caughta last fleeting glimpse of the old nous*on the hill, tip the slope from the sta-tion: there was an indistinct blur ofthe mossy old stone w.'f.Hs through thelaoe-'iko trees rim! the purple olouds oflilac l>l(jr:n:j,it!:tl in i he very

w:ty, when tbc second night came andLouie ag'iin tucked her into bed, tiredbut hivpj.iyV her thoughts fiew again tothe long, black letters on the snowyboat.

At the end of the first week Missilarg'ret was more and more convincedthftfc it was a matter that needed inves-tigation, but one which she herself mustpuzzle out, without aid from nnyoneelse. The first day of the second weekdawned rainy and damp, so much colderand more dreary, than a soft summerrain in the country that Miss MarjrVetrefused to venture out on the shoppingtour which Lollie insisted on. So theyoung wife went alone, with a prom-ise to go back for lunch, and MissMarg'ret set her thin lips with a de-termination that might- have beendreadful^if there had not been a tremu-lous fear in her dear, gentle chin. Still,the maid was amazed to see her ap-pear in the lower hall a few minuteslater, with an order that a cab be called.The maid hesitated, but hers it was toobey, and in a-little while MissMarg'ret,with her skirts carefully tucked up ..ndher best gray shawl crossed over herknees, was being jolted down the riverwhere the X. Y. & Z. trains come in."The driver had in his lifetime receivedmuch less definite directions than theseand in an incredibly short time, be-fore the timid passenger had begunto get her courage up to the stickingpoint, they drew up before the office ofa local steamship company. There wasno doubt that this was the right place,for just across the street was the longsmoky funnel of a railway station.And, to -settle the question, there in thegray mist of the river, with her nosebumping gently against the drippingpier, was the "Margaret L. Brad-shaw."

Poor MnrgYet wisheda dozen times in the next second thatshe had never left Towertown and itsplacid comfort. IJut at that instanta young man in a blue coat and a gold-lettered rap stepped from the officedoor holding an umbrella over'his headand asliod:

i "Did you want to know something\ about the boats, madam?"| "I don't know," began the trembling• MLss MargYet. Then she rensemberedi the dignity due hor as the daughter of; the late Dr. Rrndshaw, of Towortcwn,i and sister of tlie present Mr. EdwardBraclshaw, one of the city's risingyounglawyers. So she gathered the string ofher little satin handbag up with a de-

'• finnt twist and went on: (i "Yes. I want to see the rr.an who owns; thnt boat."i The startled youth followed the! point of the little itmbrella till hi3 eyesI l'ghted on the innocent "Margaret L.j Brarishaw.** Then he gathered himself

together, and began:"Well, the art-inr doesn't come down

Towertown on Just such a. springmorning, over this selif-same rond. lie,too, was going to the city. Tint he nevercame ba?k and perhaps that was whythere never was much springtime inMiss Marg'ret's heart after that, nomatter how bravely the trees buddedand the lilacs waved their fragrantplumes.

When she was finally tucked safely!n Edward's home, only three hourslater, with the big Edward smiling in-dulgently, the little Edward munchingthe seed cakes she had brought him,Lollie's pretty white hands making themost tempting tea, und, best o£ all,the rosy little namesake doubling herfists Tight in the very face of her ador-ing old auntie, poor Miss Marg'ret won-dered why she had dreaded it all. Butthat night, when Lollie hno1 finallytucked her gleefully in bed, almost asearly as the dwellers of the nursery.Miss Marg'ret could remember onlyone thing distinctly of all the doings ofthe wonderful day. And that one thingwas a mere nr.mo which had stood outbefore her surprised eyes as they hadpassed the mouth of the river on theway home from the. station. She hadnot had time; to rio more tii.in be cer-tain that she was not mistaken in thelong, blnck letters across the- spotlesswhite of the vessel's hull, for the cabwas dodging in the most reckless wayamong the wagons and other cabsnbont the r.iilwny depot. He-sides, Ed-ward was talking away in a torn fieCushion about the wife and babies wait-ing nt home to welcome her. So shehadn't said a word about it to nnyone,but as she folded her thin white handsin restful gratitude after so much wor-riaieiit find confusion she coiild thinkof nothing but those long, black let-ters, spelling out her own name: "TheMargaret L. Bradshaw."

Lollie took Marg'ret to see the city'slong drives next day; excursions toart galleries, long uotirs in the gor-g*nus 6hops aiul the wonderful officesleft the visitor little time to think muchof the strangely-named boat. Butsome

Miss Marg'ret's fingers were con-gealed with numbness, and her sensi-tive lips twitched pitifully. At the sightof the tall, handsome man, whoglanced carelessly up at her, she stag-gered a little—(he wa&a't the boy whohad left Towertown a couple of decadesr.go. Still, as the bright eyes lit up witha newer interest there certainly was ufamiliar ^leam in them, and the mouthalways had been firm. But what hadturned all those fine, ruddy locks tosnowy softness?

cauae of Iuiporfect Digestion.From the New York Herald: "A

thoroughly healthy person is neverhungry." Thus says Dr. William HenryPorter of Strathmore, who is a recog-nized authority on dietetics. Up tothis date a huge appetite has almostinvariably been considered as evidenceof a good physical condition. Manypersons will realize, after weighing thedoctor's remark, that their great desirefor food at certain times, is a warningthat all is not well with them. Dr.Porter supports his startling statementby some interesting explanatory facts.The healthy person does not slight hismeals, it must be understood, but. doesample justice to them. Yet not untilhe tastes the food before him, says Dr.Porter, does he realize the need of it.He could go about and forget his mealtimes but for the force of circumstanc-es. Tbe pangs of hunger are felt aan effect of imperfect digestion.

Dr. Porter gives some valuable in-formation on the question which andof what kind shall be the principalmeal—morning, noon or night. Inspeaking of this he said:

"As in the running of an engine, thomost intensive consumption of fuelmust be just prior to and in accord-ance with the amount of work to beperformed; so. in man, the time fortaking, and the quantity and qualityof the meal ingested, or the determina-tion of the 'principal meal,' must bein harmony with the work to be ac-complished. If the individual is to be-gia his daily labors between 4 and 6 inthe morning and terminate them be-tween 5 and 6 o'clock .in the evening itnecessitates the taking of a good andliberal breakfast at an early hour be-fore beginning active work, especiallyso If the last meal of the day previoushas been a light one at 6 o'clock, as iathe common habit of this class. Habitsof this kind naturally call for the heav-iest meal, which also may be called theprincipal meal, at noon, or ns*r thathour. _--

"On the other hand, If tne custom teto r!se between 6 aad 8 in the morning,and the largest amount of work is per-formed between 9 in the morning andthe succeeding midnight, an entirelydifferent arrangement of the mealsmast be followed. In this class a lightbreakfast is In order at about 8 in themorning; a stronger, more substantialmeal at 1 o'clock in the afternoon andthe heaviest and what justly deservesto be called the principal merl shouldbe taken from 6 to 7 in the evening, be-cause this is more nearly in the mid-dle of the working hours. When thelabors are continued until midnightand the hoar of resting is after thistime a light meal should be taken at11 o'clock.

"In any of the instances *lttd, if thefood-staffs taken have been easy of di-K¥»tion, rapidly absorbed and oxidized,tbe fires will naturally burn low afterseveral hours' Bleep and abstinencefrom food. On the other hand, if thefoodstuffs taken require considerabletime for their digestion and are slowlyr.bsorbed and oxidized, the heat-pro-ducinK snpply may not be exhaustedcompletely during a Romewhat pro-longed ahstinenre from fool, or duringthe hours usually spent for keeping."

Pills for Pale People," said Mrs. AlexanderB. Clark, of 417 Michigan Avenue, Detroit,Mich. For five years I have sufferedfrom ovarian troubles, and was confined tomy room for months at a time. I haveundergone two operations for this trouble atthe hospital, and seemed to grow worseinstead of better. I had the best doctors andthe best nursing, but for nearly fire years Iwas not free for one single day from themost fearful headaches ana intense twitch-ing pains in my o«ck and shoulders.

"You would scarcely believe, to look atroe now, that for about three days everyweek.for nearly six years, I had to stay inbed. Those headaches would come on meevery week regularly. First I would noticeblack spots before my eyes, and then Iwould w blind, and send for the doctor.

" At first they would treat me for iudige*.•ion aad dyspepsia, then finally acknowl*•dg* thai something eke caused the trovble.

During these spells I was so nervous that Icould mx Ix'iir to have my liusbaml walkiicrosa the floor, and as (he dix-tors suit) (herewas no 'medicine that would rc-acli mytrouble, I const-nted to the operations, wLjeolull me worse oft' than I was before.

five Vooug leopie Drowned.A terrible accident, involving the

loss of five lives, occurred at Flushing,when a boat capsized containing fouryouutf people. All were drowned anda spectator, who endeavored to helpthem, also lost his life. The occupantswere Chauncey A. Cook, aged 18, theMi&s s Luella and Odalina Loop, agedrespectively 14 and 16, and MildredPackard, aged 2. a niece of the twoyoung1 ladies.' The party had been outfor some time, when through somecarelessness in the handling of theboat it was capsized.. All went intothe water, and as none of them couldswim they struggled helplessly about.At this juncture, Arthur Maxwell, apopular young clerk, came flying downto the beach on his bicycle. He quicklydismounted and plunged headlong intothe river. He was a good swimmer,but had not proceeded half way to theunfortunates when he was seized withcramps, and with scarcely time to cryout ,sank and never again came to thesurface. Every member of the partywas drowned except little Mildred.She was taken out alive, but expiredin a short time. Maxwell's body wasfirst recovered, and the others weresoon afterward brought to the surface.

Three Mten Drowned near Shepherd.Sidney Keslar, Thomas Francisco

The accident occurredabout three rods below the dam in 14feet of water, which forms a whirlpoolextending under the bank some dis-tance. The men had been fishing andbefore starting for home young Fran-cisco, aged 17, and Keslar, aged 33,had evidently went in bathing1, astheir clothing was found in their wagonnear by. It Is supposed that they werewading around in the shallow waterand accidentally stepped off into thedeep water. Neither could swim andtheir struggles attracting the attentionof Harrey Francisco, the father ofThomas, he started to rescue them,jumped down the the 40-foot bank, ranto the water and plunged in with hificlothes on. He was an expert andpowerful swimmer, but his effortsproved unavailing, and all were sweptinto tbe whirlpool and were drowned.The elder Francisco leaves a widow andfour daughters, in comfortable cJrcum-itances.

AMERICAN FLEET TO ATTACKSPAIN AT HOME.

The landing of Gen. Shafter's armyat Daiquiri was accomplished exactlyas had been planned. Only two liveswere lost in the debarking, and thoseby accident. Corp. Cobb and PrivateEnglish, of Troop D, Tenth cavalry,were crushed to death by being thrownfrom a small boat while they were try-ing to climb upon the pier where thedisembarking took place. Capt, O'Jfeil,of Wood's rough riders, plunged intothe sea at the risk of his life, but themen wsre crushed before he reachedthem. O'Neil is a former mayor ofTucson, Ariz. Several horses andmules were drowned while swimmingashore through the surf.

As soon as the various commandswere landed they pushed out in the di-rection of Santiago. At dark theybivouack«;d and were strung out in acolumn three miles long, the frontresting at Deinajayho, and the rearwithin a mile of the base at Baiquiri.

The army was on the move again atdawn and soon occupied Jnragoa, fivemiles beyond, and the American flag-was hoisted there. The Spaniards re-tired before the advance, which wascovered by Cuban skirmishers, burningthe blockhouses as they went CotWagner, with a small reconnaisanceparty of about 40 men, brushed againstthe flank of a. retreating Spanish col-umn 300 strong, at Firmezas. A dozenshots were fired by the Spaniards, asCoL Wagser fell back. Before Gen.Lawtott could bring up the 29d, thevan regiment, the Spaniards had de-camped westward. Joxagua was aban-doned by Gen. Linares and 1,300 Span-ish troops with «*eh haste that theybad no time to burn the town as theyhad Baiqniri, Gen. Linares retreatedto Sevilia, six mile* west of Jurftguaby road and nine miles from Santiago.A detachment of 170 Cubans under Col.Agnirra collided with the Spanish rearguard. The Cubans lost two men killedand had seven men wounded. TheSpanish loss is not known. Dispatchesof Gen. Linares, which were captured,indicate that the Spaniards were or-dered to retreat toward Santiago.

LAND BATTLE NEAR SANTIAGO.

IS Aia*rlcMt KUletf MMI M W*«4«4i—nawwvrtf* Itovich U d t n In It.

The first land battle between theAmerican and Spanish forces in thecampaign against Santiago occurredwhen four troops of the First cavalry,four troops of the 10th cavalry andeight troops of Roooevelt'a rough rid-ers, lew than 1,000 men in ail. dis-mounted and attacked 3,000 Spanishsoldiers in the thickets within fivemiles of Santiago. The Americansheat the enemy hack into the city, butthey left 13 dead upon the field, ahfollows:

Koowivelt's rouph riders—Capt. AHynK. Oapron, of Troop L; Serjft. Hamil-ton Ki*h, .Jr.; Privates Tillman andlhiwson. of Troop L; IWmgherty, ofTroop A, and W. T. Krwin, of Troop F.

First cavalry—Trivates l>ix, Vork,JJcjork, K«>HK\ Ilerlin and Lcnmark.

Tenth cavalry—Corporal White.At least .">'• Americans were wounded,

including six orlicers. Several of thewounded will die. The following of-ficers were wounded:

Roujfh ridrrs Maj. Itrodie, shotthrong*1 the rijjht forearm; Capt. Me-Clintoek, Troop It, shot through theright lejj; Lieut. J. 11. Thomas. TroopL, shot through right ie<r; conditionseriovis. First cavalry Capt. Knox,whose condition is serious; Maj. Iterlland Lieut Bryan.

(Jen. Young commanded the. expedi-tion and was with the regulars, whileCol. Wood directed the operations ofthe rough riders two miles west.Both parties struck the Spaniardsabout •',*!. -.-, same time and the fightlasted an hour. The Spaniards opened,fire from the thicket brush and hadevery advantage of numbers and posi-tion, but the troops drove them backfrom the start, stormed a blockhousearound which they made the final standand sent them scattering over themountains. Twelve dead Spaniardswere found in the bush after the fight,but their loss was doubtless far in ex-cess of that.

The cavalrymen were afterward rein-forced by the Seventh, 12th and ]7thinfantry,* part of the Ninth cavalry,the Second Massachusetts volunteersand the 71st New York volunteers.The Americans now hold the positionat the threshold of Santiago with moretroops going forward constantly. Itis probable that at leait 10 in the listof wounded will die.

Warm Reception at T*mp».Gov. Pingree visited the 32d Michi-

gan regiment at Tampa and was givena rousing reception, not only by themembers of the 32d, but by the citizensand city officials of Tampa as well.The governor made an address to thebovs after he had reviewed the boys atregimental parade. The city officialsof Tampa banqueted the governor andofficers of the regiment.

A cyclone 40 rods wide and 10 mileslong passed one mile south of Lambert-ville, completely destroying the barnsan'', orchards of J. Johnson, J. Slyker,EL Bristoll, J. E. Mtckcns and J.

Commotlor*) Wattton Ordered to Take •

Strong Fleet and Sail at Once—Tht

Michigan Naval Ke»«rve» Right in II

—Will W&k« Spain Up.

The recent rumors that the Presidentintended to send a fleet of war vesselsto attack Spanish coast cities haveproven true, as is shown by the follow-ing bulletin posted by the navy de-partment at Washington:

Commodore Watson sails in the New-ark to join Sampson, when he willtake under his command an armoredsquadron with cruisers and proceed atonce off the Spanish coast. Commo-dore Watson's squadroa is designatedthe eastern squadron and is as follows:Flagship Newark battleships Iowaand Oregon; cruisers Yosemite, Yankeeand Dixie, and the colliers Scendia,Abarenda and Alexander. The startwill be made at once from off Santiago.

No attempt is made to deny that thegovernment is influenced in orderingthis movement by a de*>jrc to check theprogress eastward of the Cadiz fleet.It was not believed that the Spanishadmiral could be guilty of the folly ofuncovering his own home ports in thisfashion, but inasmuch as he seems de-termined to do so the naval strategist?could not do less than take advantageof the magnificent opportunity thusafforded to strike a crushing blow atSpain and thereby, perhaps, bringabout a speedy desire in Spain for peaceand save much time and loss of life andmoney in the conduct of the tediouscampaign in Cuba.

When the American fleet tails forSpain it will take complete informationas to the entire stretch of Spanishcoast, with detail maps of every harborand its fortifications. The informs*tion is in minute detail as to the de-fenses of each port. In general thefortifications of the coast are relics ofthe medieval greatness of Spain, andmany of these old defenses are tum-bling ruins.

With this information at hand thenature of the assault upon the coast ofSpain will be pretty well Outlined be-fore the American squadron sail*. Atthe same time much will be left to thecommander of the squadron. Someofficials are of the opinion that theCanary islands will be the first pointof attack and that the next move willbe to establish a naval base at Cettta,a point on the African coest, owned bySpain and opposite Gibraltar. Withthis base our ships would be withineasy striking distance of the longstretch of Spanish coast.

The start will be made from Santiagojust as noon as the squadron c*n begotten ready, and this, fortunately,owing to the completeness of navalmobilization, will be in a short time.

Gen..Shafter's orders are to send back toTampa a.s many of the transports as hecan .spare. It is stated officially thatGen. Miles would command the nextexpedition which leaves the UnitedStates. On the arrival of the force atSantiago, Gen. Miles, by virtue of hisposition, will assume active commandof all the forces in the field, and ussoon as the city falls he will under-take in person the leadership of subse-quent campaigns, whether againstI'orto Hico or various Cuban points.The number of reinforcements whicharc to be sent to Shafter will be an ex-pedition nearly as formidable as thatwhich he now has with him. AfterSantiago has been reduced and capturedby the American forces there will hian ample number to leave in the prov-ince to preserve order and hold th<place while the remainder may be usedfor the Porto Rico expedition. In ad-dition to the 32 transports utilized byGun. Shafter, the war department haschartered all other vessels which arcavailable for immediate use. The wardepartment has announced the pur-chase of eight trans-Atlantic liners,seven of them of much greater capacitythan any of the American transportsheretofore chartered, and as many ofthese vessels as can be mnde ready intime will be utilized.

Slgsbce Knocked Out th« Terror.Washington: Capt Sigsbeei reports

that while oft San Juan, Porto Rico,he was attacked by a Spanish unpro-tected cruiser and the Spanish torpedoboat destroyer Terror. The Terrormade a dash which was awaitedby the St. Paul. The St. Paul hit theTerror three times, killing one officerand two men and wounding severalothers. The Terror dropped back un-der cover of the fortifications withdifficulty, and was to\ve<l into the har-bor in a sinking condition, where sheis now being repaired. Later, a cruiserand a gunboat started out. but re-mained. under protection of the forts.

In defeating the Terror, Capt. Sig-s-bee has not only deprived Sampson'sfleet of apprehension of an attack inthe roar, some dark night, but he hasdemonstrated that an auxiliary cruiseris able to take care of herself against atorpedo gunboat. The torpedo gun-boat was an untried quality in navalwarfare up to this time. She is swifterthan a torpedo boat, is seaworthy andis possessed of the armament of whichthe torpedo boat is void.

CHAPTER V.TRAGEDY OP FONDlCnEKRT I.ODGR.

It was nearly eleven o'clock when wereached this final stage of our nig-ht'sadventures. We had left the damp togof the great city behind as, and thenight was fairly fine- A warm windblew from the westward, and heavyclouds moved slowly across the sky,with half a moon peeping occasionallythrough the rifts. It was clear enoughto see for some distance) but ThaddeusSholto took down one of the side-lampsfrom the carriage to give as a betterlitfht Qpon our way.

Pond wherry lod#e stood in its owngrounds, and was girt round with aTery high stone wall topped witabroken glass. A single narrow iron-«]&mped door formed the only meansof entrance. On this our guide knockedwith m peculiar postman-like rat-tat.

"Who is there?" cried * gruff voicefrom within,

"It is I, MeMnrdo. You surely knowmy knock by this time."

There was • grumbling sound and *clanking1 and jarring of key*. Thedoor swung heavily back, and a short,deep-chested roan stood in the openingwith the yellow light of the lantern

fo upon his protruded face and

'•Oh, Mr. Thaddeus, sir, I am so gladyou have come! I am so glad youhave come, Mr, Thaddeus, sir!" Weheard her reiterated rejoicings untilthe door was closed and her voice diedaway into a muffled monotone.

Our guide had left us the lantern.Holmes swunc it slowly round, andpeered keenly at the house, and at the

g ptwinkling, distrustful eye*.

"That you, .Mr. Thaddeus? But whoare the others? I had no orders aboutthem from my master.1*\ "So, McMordo? You surprise me! Itold my brother last ttig-ht that Ishould bring some friends."

"He hain't been out o' his room to-day, Mr. Thaddeua, and I have no or--ders. You know very well that I muststick to regulations, t can let you in*but your friends they must just stopwhere they are."

This was an unexpected obstacle.Thaddeus Sholto looked about him ins> perplexed and helpless manner."This is too bad of you, McMardo!" hesaid. "If I guarantee them, that isenough for you. There is the younglady, too. She cannot wait on the pub-lic road at this hour."

"Very sorry, Mr. Thaddeus," said theporter, inexorably. "Folk may befriends o' yours, snd yet no friends o'

great rubbish heaps whichthe grounds. Miss Morstan and I stoodtogether, and her hand was in mine. Awondrous subtle thing la love, for herewere we two who had never seen eachother before that day, between whomno word or eren look of aJCsctiov badever passed, and yet now in an boor oftrouble our hands instinctively soughtfor each other. I have marveled at itsince, but at the time it seemed themost natural thing that I should goout to her so, and, as she has often toldme, there was in her also the instinctto tarn to me for comfort and protec-tion. So we stood baud In hand, liketwo children, sad there was peace mour hearts for all the dark things thatsurrounded vs.

"What a strange placer she said,looking aroazKi, .

"Oh, yes, you do, McMurdo," criedSherlock holmes, genially. "I don'tthink rt)u can have forgotten me. jDon't you remember the amateur who |fought three rounds with you at Ali-'eon's rooms on the night of 3-our bene- !fit four v<:ars back?" |

"Not Mr. Sherlock Holmes:" roared jthe prize tig-htiT. "God's truth! howcould I have mistook you? If insteado' stantiin' Ihoru socjuiet you had juststepped up and given me that cross hitof 3'ours undL-r the jaw, I'd ha1 knowuyou without a question. Ah, you'reone that has wasted your g~ii'ts, 3*011•have! You mifrht hare uiriied high, ifyou had joined the fancy."

"You sec, Watson, if all else fails meI have still one of the scientific profes-sions open to me," said Holiwes, laugh-ing. "Our friend won't keep us out inthe cold now, I am sure."

"tn you come, sir, in you come—youand your friends," he answered- "Very ;sorry, Mr. Thadtleus, but orders arevery strict. Hud to be certain of yourfriends before I lei them in."

In.sk!et a gravel path wound throughdesolate grounds to a huge clump of ahouss, square and prosaic, all plung-edia. shadow save where a moonbeamstruck one corner and glimmered in agarret window. The vast size of thebuilding, with its gloora and its deathlysilence, -struck a chill to the tioartEven Thaddeus Sholto .seemed ill atease, and the lantern quivered and rat-tled in bis hand.

"T cannot understand it," he said."There must ba some mistake. I dis-tinctly told Bartholomew that weshould be lie re, and yet there is nolight in Ins windov.\ I do not knowwhat to make of it,"

"Does he always guard the premisesin this way?" asked Holmes.

"Yes; he has followed my father'scustom, ile was the favorite sou, JTOUknow, and ! sometimes think that myfather may have told him more thanhe ever told me. That is Barthol-omew's window up there where themoonshine strikes. It is quite bright,

but there is no light from within, 1think."

"Xone," said Holmes. "But I seethe glint of a light iu that little win-dow beside the door."

"Ah, that is the housekeeper's roomThat is where old Mrs. Iksr:istO!:e sits.She can tell us all about it. Hut per-haps you would iiot mind waiting here

(for a minute or two, for if wrs all ^0 iu'together, and she has no word of ourcoming1, she may be alarmed. Buthush! What is that?"

He held up the lantera, aud his handshook until the circles of light flickeredand wavered all round us. Miss Mor-Stan seized my wrist, and we all stoodwith thumping hearts, straining ourears. From the great black house theresounded through the silent night thesaddest and most pitiful of sounds—the shrill, broken whimpering of afrightened woman.

"It is Mrs. liernstone." said Sholto."She is the only woman in the house."Wait here, I shall be back in a mo-ment." He hurried for the door, andknocked in his peculiar way. We-could see a tall olv, roman admit himand sway with pleasure at the very

Droaa and powerful bolt, as we eoulasee wben we set our lamp up againstit. The key being turned, however,the hole was uot entirely closed. Sher-lock Holmes bent down to it, and in-stantly rose again with a &harp intak-ing of the breath. .

"There is something1 devilish in this,Wat-son," Ktiid he, more moved than Ihad ever bo fore seen him. °'Whatdoyou make of it?"

\ stooped to the hole, and recoiled inhorror. Moonlight was streaming intothe room, and it was bright with avague and shifty radiance. Looking(straight at me, and suspended, as itwere, in the air, for all beneath was inshadow, there hung1 a face—the veryface of our companion Thaddeus.There WPS the game high, shininghead, the same circular bristle of redhair, the same bloodless countenance.The features were set, however, in ahorrible smile, a fixe a and unnaturalgrin, which in that still and moonlitroom was more jarring to the nervesthan any scowl or contortion. So likewas the face to that of our little friendthat I looked round at him to makesure that he was indeed with us. ThenI recalled to mind that he had men-tioned to us that his brother and he.were twins.

••This is terribler I said to Holme*."What is to be done?"

"The door must come down," he an*swered, and, springing against it, he

i put all his weight upon the lock. Itcreaked and groaned, but did not yield.Together we flung ourselves upon itonce more, and this time it gave waywith a sudden snap, and we found our*selves within Bartholomew Sholto'schamber.

It appeared to have been fitted up asa chemical Laboratory. A double lineof glass-stoppered bottles was drawnnp upon the wan apposite the door,and the table was littered over with

burners, test tubes and retorts.

"And from the same cause.14 saidFlolinea. "Thcae are the trace* oftreasure^seeker*. You tou»t rrmemtwrthat they were nix year* looking for It.No wonder that the ground looks likea graTelpit.**

At that moment the door burst open,and ThddcU'US .Sholto came finninguut, with his hands thrown forwardand terror iti his eyes.

"There is somelhiug amisss with Rar-thoU>mi\v!" he cried. "I am. fright*tned! My nerve!* cannot stand it." Hewas, indeed, hulf-bluhbtrrin^- with fear,un<] his U> itching, f<-«.*1)l<: fut,v, peepingout fro:n the ffreut Astrakhan collar,h:id the hulploss, appealing expressionof a terrified child.

"Coiuo iuto the house," said Holmes,in his crisp, firm way.

"Yes, do!" pleaded Thaddeus Sholto."I really do not feel equal to giving di-rections."

We all followed him into the house-keeper's room, which stood upon theleft-hand side of the passage." The old.wotnan was pacing up and down witha scared look and restless, picking-Uugers, but the sight of Miss Morstanappeared to have a soothing-effect uponher.

"God bless your sweet calm face!"she cried, with a hysterical sob. "It.does me good to see j-ou. Oh, but Ihave been sorely tired this day!"

Our companion patted her thin, work-worn hand, and murmured some fewwords of kindly womanly comfortwhich brought the color back into thecther'h bloodless cheeks.

"Master has locked himself in andwill not answer me," she explained."All day 1 have waited to hear fromhim, for he often likes to be a>one; butF.i* hour ago I feared that something wasamiss, so I went up and peeped throughthe keyhole. You must go up, Mr.Thaddous-7-you must go up and lookfor yourself. I have seen Mr. Barthol-omew Sholto in joy and in sorrow fort2n long- years, but I never saw him\7Jth such a face on him as that."

Sherlock llolmcs took the lamp audled the way, for Thaddeus Sholto'steeth were chattering in his head. Soshaken was he that I had to pass myLand under his arm as we went up thestairs, for his knees were tremblingunder him. Twice as we ascendedHolmes whipped his lens out of hispxikc t and carefully examined marUswhich appeared to me to be mereSi'iapcless smudges of dust upon thuo•con-nut mattiiig which served as as'air-carpet. lie walked slovviy fromslep to step, holding the lamp low, andR> ootinpr keen glances to right andleft. Miss Morstan had remained be-hind with the frightened housekeeper.

The third flight of stairs ended in astraight p&£&age of some length, witha great picture in Indian ta.pestry.uponthe right of it and three doors upon theleit. Holmes advanced along it in thesame slow and methodical way, whilewe kept close at his heels, with ourlong black shadows streaming back-wards down the corridor. The thirddoor was that which we were seeking.Holmes knocked without receiving anypnswer, and then tried to turn thehandle and force it open. It waslocked on the inside, howev_ert and by *

In the corners stood carboys of acid inwicker baskets. One of these appearedto leaJc or to k*vs, been broken, for astream of dark-colored liquid hadtrickled oat from it, and the air washeavy with a peculiarly pungent tar-like odor. A set of steps stood at oneside of the room, in the midst of a lit-ter of lath and plaster, tnd abovethem there was an opening In the <*tt-ftnff large enough for e man to passthrovgh. At the foot of the steps along coil of rope was thrown carelesslytogether.

By the table, in a wooden arm-chair,the master of the house ws» seated allIn ii heap, with his head sunk upon binleft shoulder, and that ghastly, inscrut-able smile upon his face. He was stiffand cold, and* had wlearly been deadmany hours. It seemed to me th*t notonly his features but all his limbs wentwisted and turned in the most fsa-tastic fashion. By his hand upon the,table there lay * peculiar instrument,-—a brown, close-grained •tick, with a•tone head like a hammer, rudelylashed on with coarse twine. Beside itwas a torn sheet of note paper with

j some words pcmwled upon it Uolmes' glanced at it, and then handed it to me.j "You *ee," he said, with a aig&ificsatraising of the eyebrows.

In the light of the lantern I read,with a thrill of horror: "The sign.ofthe four,"

"In Hod's came, what does it allmeati?" I asked.

"It means murder," said he, stoopingover tiie dead ius&. "Ah, I expected it.

"It looks like a thorn,"' said I."It is a thorn. You may pick it out.

"On the contrary," he answered,' "itclears every instant. I only require afew missing links to have an entirelyconnected case."

We had almost forgotten our com-panion's presence since we entered the

I chamber. He was still standing in thej doorway, the very picture of terror,I wringing his hunos and moaning tohimself. Suddenly, however, he brokeout iuto a sharp, querulous cry.

"The treasure is gone!" he said."They have robbed him of the treasure!There is the hole through which welowered it, 1 helped him to do it. Iwas the last person who saw him! Ileft him here last night, and I heaidhim lock the door as I came down-stairs."

Surely you don't think that it was I?Is it likely that I would have broughtyou here if it were I? Oh, dear! oh,dear! I know that I shall go mad!"He jerked his arms and stamped hisfeet in a kind of convulsive frenzy.

"You have no reason for fear, Mr,Sholto," said Holmes, kiudly, puttinghis hand upon his shoulder. "Take my

The little man obeyed "in' a half-stupefied fashion, and we heard himstumbling down the stairs in the dark.

SPANISH ROUTED.

and Cubans Win a Signal Victor}Xe.tr <;uautauamo.

Jn a bold dash against the Spanishguerrillas and regulars, who harassedthem for four days, the American force;encamped on Crest Heights at the entrance to Ouantanamo bay, gained «•>notable victory, having a band of Cubans as allies. They drove the Spaniards from their b"se of supplies, fouimiles from Camp MeCalla,-killed oveihalf a hundred of the enemy, and took13 prisoners. Th* only losses were tweCubans killed. Four other insurgentswere wounded, as were two of th<American marines. Twenty-three marines were overcome by the heat during the engagement.

The victory put the command in highspirits. The little black Cuban warriors waved their machetes and howledcurses at the Spanish in savage fashion.Their tiring had been wild throughoutbut they ali displayed the utmost con-tempt for the Spanish bullets, appar-ently being absolutely without fear.The marines did not reach the Ameri-can camp until nightfall, and as theyhad been without food since earlymorning, they were thoroughly ex-hausted. Col. Hunting-ton believes thedestruction of the Spanish camp andweU will seriously cripple their bush-whacking operations.

Lieut. Francis Batista, one corporaland 16 privates were taken prisonersby the Americans and were, placed onthe warships in the harbor. From theprisoners it has been learned that theSpanish forces consisted of six compa-nies of regulars with two companies ofguerrilas, armed with Mauser and newRemington rifles. The captured lieu-tenant said he knew 68 Spaniards wertkilled and 300 wounded 1B the day'sfiffating, and he thought the totalmight be two or three times that. Healso said that the sergeant and threeprivates who crept up and killed Pri-vates McColgan and Dunpfey, whilethey were on picket duty a few night*before, had been killed in the fight onthe ridge.

Washington: The news from AdmiralSampson that the Spaniards had beenrepulsed by the marines and insurgentscame as a great relief to army and navyofficials, who thought that the positionheld was very precarious. The fullest•rredit is given to the insurgents foitheir timely work. The occupation olAcerraderoft by the insurgent general,Rabi, is looked upon as a fine militarystroke. The town I* only eight mile*from Santiago, and the large ironwharves afford good facilities for theunloading of the heavy artillery. Theachievinent of Gen. Kabi in making sfurcetl march from Ilayamo. loo mile*northwest of Santiago, is characteristicof the dash and military genius of thatofficer. In occupying Acerraderos Oen.Kubi had with him about 1.000 men,while (Jarcia is coming up with ."i,<M>0 totf.OM lmvreC'ubans. The march of Rabican hardly Im appreciated by anyonenot faiuiliar with the mountains,swamps and tangled tropical vegetationthrough which he pushed his way. Inmaking this march Kabi crossed tiieline of communication between theSpanish commitIHIIT, (len. i'ando. atIlolguin and the Spanish forces at San-tiago. This fuel, makes it clear thatSantiago is not likely to get reinforce-ments from Ut4n. I'ando. In eirelSngaround Santiago to reach Acerraderos.llabi, it is bc!it:ve<l. has also establishedit as a fact that the lines of communi-cation and relief to Santiago are inter-rupted and practically cut off in alldirections.

Thereceipts of the department during theyear were $5,590.51 and the expendi-tures $4,663.43; present cash assets,$1,061.84, of which $835.49 is in theAlger fond. During the year 1,000headstones were placed over the gravesof veterans.

The contest for the department com-mander promised to be quite animated,with Alex. Patrick and Maj. E. W.Jacklin, of Detroit; Commandant Judd,of the Soldiers* Home; Judge R. R.Peeler, of Three Rivers, and ex-LaborCommissioner Charles R. Morse, ofGratiot county, as candidates, but onthe first ballot Comrade Patrick re-ceived 379 out of a total of 378 votes;Charles H. Morse, 48, Capt Judd, 32;Maj. Jacklin, 15; scattering, 4.

By CELIA LYNN.

OJO RLAXCO was not a man, bu t ahorse, and he was cot afiiicted with

one of those distressing4 complaints thativ»j read of in patent-medicine . testi-monials, but was the victim of thedau^geroua and Inconvenient habit of turn-ing1 back handspring's. Perhaps someof. . the readers of this narrative willwonder why a horse may not indulgewith, impunity iu this harmless amuse-jneut , which is encouraged aud ap-plauded in the festive boy.

Without question ovir faithful friend,ihe horse, should be sillowed to followliis Qwm tastes aiid inclinations, pro-vided only tijat these do not conflictwith his business engagement with hisowner. This was the tllflicuMy. OjoBlanco did not enliven his leisure mo-ments by turning elephantine somer-satilts. I t was only when he was sad-dled, and bridled, and his hard-workingmaster mounted him, preparatory to a

day's ride over the rac^e, that he j

kerchief around bis nock, and his new-ly-shaven face wearing a festive air.With him came Ojo iJiuuco, washed andgroomed till his rough cout fairly shone,a brand new hair rop'e knotted aroundhis neck and the silver ornaments onIjis bridle glistening in the sun. Allthe morning he had beea overflowingwith good humor, even omitiiug thecustomary tumble, und now he snemedto be imbued with the spirit of the oc-casion, fpr he held his head high an."pranced, a little so as to show olf Sam'thorsemanship.

The time went by with the usual talk,laughter and devotion to the. inner man,and when tbe people hail In a measurerecovered from the torpor incident to !a hearty picnic meal someone proposed Ia horse race. A dozen young- fellows jat once came forward, cviger to show iof' the speed of their horses and the i r ;own skill. With them came Suns Walk-er, bu t he was greeted with shouts of jderision, j

"Do you think tha t old crow bait of iyours can run'?" askc-d one ' scornful jyouth; he niiirht do for a slow race, b u t ;he won't be in i t with those horses." j

".Never you tnind," answered Sam;"Ojo can run. There isn't a horse inthe country t ha t can beat hrm whenhe's after a wild steer."

"He'll fall over with you and spoillooks," jeered another.

"No, he won't. He never does t h a tshowetl any inclination to-execine gym-nastic feats. At such times, when his | except in the •morning- when J am start-master was fairly in the saddle, he rose I i n " o u t * G o ahead und get leady.

been touched with other than a rever- |ent hand, and it had always been laid jgently around his form end moderatelytightened. All tbe pride of Ojo's nature

•would travel over the range all day, | rose in rebellion at the indignity of-•with no food and scarcely a pause forrest, coming home at night with thesame- energy with which he started out.JSO wonder, therefore, that Sam was•willing to humor his failings in view ofhis excellent staying qualities,

Ojo Blanco never bucked. He leftsuch undignified gymnastics to ?oltsand horses with uncertain, tempers andno brains. . He felt that he was masterof a specialty which had given him atride reputation, and which, moreover,saved him the indignity of being riddenLy a miscellaneous assortment of peo-ple. No one dared mount him exceptSam, and as Sam always treated himwith deference and respect'he desiredno better master.

It may be that Ojo Ulanco's extraor-dinary behavior was due to chronic dys-pepsia, for it is hard to believe that na-ture could have endowed any horsewith the quiet and' persistent malevo-lence that he showed. It is well knownthat an attack of indigestion will ren-der the best-tempered man.morose andirritable, and when a horse is similarlyafllictcd how much larger a field thereis for the circulation of anguish. Per-haps it was only after a night of rest-less misery, when his ration of hay hadrefused to bo submitted to the xisiuiloperations, that Ojo Blanco regardedall men as enemies, and when the cruelcinch tightened around his troubled in-sides, the impulse to wreak vengeanceon his tormentor grew too strong to besuppressed.

At last a day came when Sam's pa-tient spirit, grown accustomed to liter-ally groveling in the dirt* rebelledagainst such treatment and wroughtthe cure of Ojo Blanco's peculiar habit.There was a picnic and barbecue, towhich all the country-side gathered.and here appeared Sam resplendent Inbis best suit of clothes* » red silk han<3-

fered him. and, blind1 with rage, and notnoticing tihathis master had not mount-ed, he reared and threw himself vacious-ly backward.

Those present say that there was alook of, intense surprise on Ojo Blanco'scountenance as he fell through space,and it is quite safe to surmise that hewas surprised when, instead of landingcomfortably on solid ground, he felthimself whizzing through the air withdizzying rapidity, his.dignined form re-volving like a cartwheel the while, toalight at last with a tremendous splashin a por.d of very, wet water.

The breathless watchers on the cliffabove affirm that Ojo tried tocheat him-self with the belief t/liatall was as USUGI

by lying motionless'for a time. Now, it!is one thing to lie on ilrj ian-dan-d shoot Iglances of defiance at your enemies,and it is quite another thing to do itunder six feet of water, as Ojo soonfound. Snorting with wTath and dis-may, he struggled to his feet andwaded to the bank on the other Bide,where he turned and regarded his per-secutors with keen reproach.

So convulsed witih laughter that theycould scarcely stand, they had no eyesfor anything but Ojo Blaneo's soiryt'igme, -as he stood with water stream-ing down his side and dripping fromhis Homan nose; as for Sam, he felt thatthis moniejit amply repaid him for s.llthe humiliation heaped upon him in thepast.

The lesson had tie desired effect, fornever again did Ojo Ulanco turn a back-hand!;r>ring with his master. Some*times ihe impulse seized him to throwliis now haughty rider in the dust, but,rvc&Uing that sickening sensation offalling through the air and the dread-ful plunge at the bottom w3th <% shiverof horror, he would ref rain.—Sea Fr*n-cisco Argonaut.

I'ing-ree and the state militar;,Iwijrd wont to work and by the tiimthe formal order hud lu^eii receive/from the war department the outlineof the organization of the ii.MhMicihi#au volunteer regiment had been almost completed.

Adjt.-Oen. K. M. Irish, of the Michi-gan National (Juard, was chosen a-colonel of the new regiment, partiallyin recognition of hi.s services afC'auipEaton. Quarterma-stftr-Cjeneral Win.F.

It was announced that the companieswould lxj taken from districts not al-ready represented. Companies will bedrawn from the reg-ions snrrouudinfAJpena, Charlotte, Detroit, Wyandotle.Jlowell, 1'etoskey, l'ontiac and Sanilac,and possibly from other communities.Then there will be one company of I.Sons of Veterans, who will probablybe from all parts of the state. Theofficers will practically be picked outby Col. Irish. Men who may havebeen elected officers of independentcompanies will not stand any particu*lar show. So far three captains havebeen practically settled upon. Theyare; M. A. Prince, of Alpena; A. E. Me-Cabe, of Petoskey. and 11. S. Lockton.of Charlotte. The officers of the S. ofV. company will probably be men whoarc prominent in that organization.

Charlotte; The local military com-pany recently organized by Sergt. Aa-ness, of Ft. Wayne, Detroit, are inopen revolt because of the action of thestate military board in rejecting An-ne**s as captain and appointing- R. S.Lockton, a well-known politican ofMarshall.

Th« story, -much doubtedt t the time and pronounced fabulousby physicians, is nevertheless true iftbe researches of E. Douliot prove cor-rect. It seems bhat the victim had losthi* right eye early rn- life, and later<m while climbing on a cherry tree fellupon a fence, the pickets horribly muti-lating t ie left eye, the cheek And thenose. The surgeon called in consid-ered the eye entirely destroyed, sewedup the wound and it healed in time,fortniojr a larg« scar *bere t*e eyehad been. A year later the men, thenconsidered stoneblind, lay in the gran,when h« surprised himself by discov-ering that he could perceive thro-Jg'hthe cavity of the none tb« sky and thecolor of tbe flowers on the tneadowaround him. From that time on hepracticed for five ox six years to »««with his nose, -which to him becomepractically the orjyajj of vision.

Got Rid uf the"There's nothing- so good as con-

genial company, and few things worsethan uncongenial associates," re-marked Ca.pt, R. J. Smith to a Sun re-porter. "I remember once when I wasyoung a lot of fellows used to hang-around my place that were not themost desirable companions imagin-able. One day a friend said: 'Do youwant to get rid of those fellows?' Isaid thrtt I did, if I could do it withoutoffending them. He suggested a plan,and the result was I provided myselfwith an English history, a Bible andseveral other books I don't gues» thosefellows ever heard of before. Thenext time they came in I began reading1

aloud to them from the books. It wasn'tlong- before they beg-nn to look at oneanother, and finally one said, as. theyall got up: 'Well, Jim, we'll drop inagain after awhile.' Whenever theydropped in I always pulled my books,and soon they were afraid to come atall."—Paducah (Ky.) Hun.

practiced among the Turks, who holdlong eyes in such exalted esteem as tolength-en them by cutting the cornersof the eyes. This is dene very early—it the age of two or ibree years—theouter corner being deftly slit with, alancet about the twelfth part of aninch. While the wound is healing thelids are drawn outward everyday, andwhen it is quite curved tbe eye is stillsubmitted to the drawing-process every3ay for a long time, with the eventualresult that it bwomes longatid narrow,»cd satisfies the taste of the "uospeak-»ble Turk."
