The Red Cloud chief., 1893-12-01

During the first week or sowe had no
callers. and had begun to think that
my companion was as friendlcss a man
rs I was myself. Presently, however,
I found that he had man. acquaint
ances, and those in most different
classes Of society. There was one lit
tie, sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow
who was introduced to me as Mr.. Les
trade, and who came t~hreHsor four
times in a single week. One morning
q young girl called, ~fashionably
dressed. and stayed for half an hour or
more. The same afternoon brought n
gray-headcd. seedy visitor, looking like
aJcw pcddlcr, who appeared to me TO be
much excited, and who was closely fol.
lowed by a slip-shod elderly woman.
On another occasion an old white
haired gentleman had an interview
with my companions; and on another .
railway porter in his velvcteen uni
form. When any Of these nondescript
individuals put in an appearance, Sher-
lock Holmes used 70 beg for the use Of

see that l have alluded above to his
powers on the violin. These were very
remarkable, but as eccentric as all
his other accomplishments. That he
could play pieces, and difficult pieces,
l knew well, because at my request he
has played me some Of Memberships
Lieder and other favorites. When left
TO himself, however, he would seldom
produce any music or attempt any rec
ognized mir. Leaning back in his arm
chair of an evening he would close his
eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle
which was thrown across his knee.
Sometimes the chords were sonor-
Gus and melancholy. Occasionally they
were fantastic and cheerful. Clearly
they reflected the thoughts which
possessed him, but whether the music
aided those thoughts, or whether the
playing was simply the result Of n
within or fancy was more than ! could
determine. might have rebelled
against these exasperating solos had It
not been that he usually terminated
them by playing in quick succession "A

My companion smiled an cnigmatical
