Haunted by Chickens.

Imagine being haunted your whole
life through by chickens" said the trav-
cling man, setting down his glass, land
by chicken pie, at that. Of having it
thrust before you by an unalterable de-
cree, day in and day out, year after
year, until mournful troops of MUIR
dered feathered birds pass in ghostly
review before your eyes in sleep and
hobgoblin chicken pies perform weird
nocturnal dances on your abdomen.
Talk about eating quail every day for
a steady diet. tell you these are gas
tronomic Injuries compared to chicken
pie every day. Yet there was asman
down at Smithville, Ga, who was mean
enough to take this diaboical revenge
on his widow. He kept the railroad
clearinghouse there, and when he died
he left it to his widow, with the condi-
ton in his will of-chicken pie! She
was to have a chicken pie at least once
a day, or not to have the hotel. And
she, poor woman, having no other
means of livelihood, still struggles
along, conscientiously confronting
chicken pie every day. Her only con-
ISOLATION is that the guests of the house
also have to stand chicken pie. No one
knows what actuated the man to put
chicken pie into his will-but how he
must have hated that woman!"-N. y

Are They Curious?

g I'm so anxious to see if that woman
will get winter wrap to-day. You
see, don't know her name, but she
evidently lives around here somewhere.
She used to pass SO often after they
were first married last summer. She
had elegant clothes then. I can't begin
to tell you all the different kinds OF
silk waists that woman had. But since
cold weather set in I've noticed that the
poor thing hasn't heavy wrap of any
kind, only light cape with some fur
sewed on to lengthen it out and make
it look heavier. guess her folks
bought the clothes she had last sum-
mer, for her husband has gone by alone
all winter. He had nice heavy ulster
and a square-topped hat and every
thing, but his poor wife can't come out
because he got his winters clothes first
He's an awfully good looking man, but
guess he's awfully selfish, too. They
went past the house together this
morning, though. To-day is bargain
day, and I'll bet a cookie they've gone
uptown to get her winter coat. I'm
going to sit right here until they come
back" And the faithful soul resumed
her lonely vigil. buffalo Express.

than six years agop Again, the letter
speaks of giving her justice. What
justice can she have? 1t is too much
to suppose that her father is still alive.
There is no other injustice in her case
that You know Of"
There are difficulties; there arc
certainly difficulties" said Sherlock
Holmes, pensivcly. But our expedi-
ton of tonight will solve them all.

Then we had better go down, for it is

/ picked up my hat and my heaviest
stick, but observed that Holmes took
his revolver from his drawer and
slipped it into his pocket. 1t was clear
that he thought that our nights work
might be serious one.
Miss Morstan was muffled in 4 dark
cloak, and her sensitive face was COM
posed, but pale. She mast have been
more than woman if she did not feel
some uneasiness at the strange enter
prise upon which we were embarking,
yet her self-control was perfect, and
she readily answered the few addition
al questions which Sherlock Holmes
put to her.
Maj. Sholto was very particular
friend of papa's," she said. Ills let
tiers We're full of illusions to the major.
He and papa were in command of the
troops at the Andaman islands, so they
were thrown great deal together. By
the way, a curious paper was found in
papa's desk which no one could uoder-
stand. don't suppose that it is of the
slightest Importance, but thought

it all over with his double lens.

He smiled gently. "It is of the first

your Judgment to be biased by per-
sonal qualities. A client is to me mere
unit-a factor in problem. The emo

her large blue eyes were singularly
spiritual and sympathetic. In an ex-,

many nations and three separate con-
tinents, have never looked upon
face which gave a clearer promise of a
refined and sensitive nature. I could
not but observe that as she took the
seat which Sherlock Holmes placed for
her, her lip trembled, her hand quiv--

CHAPTER I-CoNrINUED

SIT is very customary for pawn
brokers in England, when they take a
watch, to scratch the number of the
ticket with pin point upon the inside
of the case. 1t is more handy than the
label, as there is no risk of the number
being lost or transposed. There are no
less than four such numbers visible to
my lens on the inside of this case. In
ference-that your brother was often
at low water. Secondary inference
that he had occasional bursts of pros
perity, or he could not have redeemed
the pledge. Finally, 1 ask you to look
at the inner plate, which contains the
key-hole. Look at the thousands of
scratches all round the hole-marks
where the key has slipped. What sober
mans key could have scored those
grooves? But you will never see a
drunkard's watch without them. He
winds it at night, and he leaves these
traces of his unsteady hand. Where is
the mystery in all this?'
1T is clear as daylight" Unanswered.
Il regret the injustice which did you.
I should have had more faith in your
marvellous faculty. May ask whether
you have any professional inquiry on
foot at PRESENT."
None. Hence the cocaine. I cam
not live without brain work. What
else is there to live for? Stand at the
window here. Was there ever such
dreary. dismal, unprofta BILE world? See
how the yellow fog swirls down the
street and drifts across dun-colored
houses. What could be more hopeless
Iy prosaic and material? What is the
use of having powers, doctor, when one
has no field upon which to exert them?
Crime is commonplace and existence is
commonplace and no qualities save
those which are commonplace have any
function upon earth"
l had opened my mouth to reply to
this TRADE, when, with crisp knock,
our landlady entered, bearing card
upon the brass salver.
"a young lady for you, SIR" she said,
addressing my companion.

CHAPTER III.
n QUEST OF A SOLUTION


It was half-past five before Holmes
returned. He was bright, eager and
in excellent spirits-a mood which in
his case alternated with fits of the
blacklist depression.
''There is no great mystery in this
matter" he said, taking the cup of tea
which had poured out for him. ''The
facts appear to admit of only one ex-
planation.''
what. you have solved it already?''
'Well, that will be too much to say.
I have discovered suggestive fact,
that is ALL 1t is, however, very sug-
gcstive. The details are still to be add
ed. / have just found, on consulting
the back files of the Times, that Maj.
Sholto, of Upper Norwood, late of the
Thirty-fourth Bombay infantry, died
upon the 18th of April, 1882"
II may be very obtuse, Holmes, but
fail to see what this suggests
mo? You surprise me. Look at it
in this way, then. Capt. Morstan dis
appears. The only person in London
whom he could have visited is Mai.
Sholto. Maj. Sholto denies having
heard that he was in London. Four
years later Sho1to dies. Within week
of his death Capt. Morstan's daughter
receives a valuable present, which is re-
peated from year to year, and now Gull
inmates in letter which describes her
as 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 Sholtos
heir knows something of the mystery,
and desires to make compensation?
Have you any alternative theory which
will meet the facts?"
But what strange compensation.

thirty out of forty of the children at

A Mean Trick.

Patrick was one of those witty SOM
of the Celtic isle whose amusing say
ings had entertained many transat
lantic travellers. One day, when the
steamer was about leaving port, Patrick
received the order to haul in a long ca
bic that dragged astern. Patrick
jumped to the task cheerfully enough,
and hauled away contentedly. Bu'
the excessive length of the cable taxed
his patience. II wonder what's become
of the end of this ould cable, anyhow
And finally, growing more impatient,

sat in the window with the volume
in my hand, but my thoughts were far
from the daring speculations of the
writer. My mind ran upon our late
visitor-her smiles, the deep rich tones
of her voice, the strange mystery which
overhung her life. If she were seven
teen at the time of her fathers disap-
pearance she must be seven-and-twenty
nova sweet age, when youth has
lost its self-consciousness and become
little sobered by experience. So l sat
and unused, until such dangerous
thoughts came into my head that /
hurried away to my desk and plunged
furiously into the latest treatise upon
pathology. What wasI an army sur
geon with weak leg and weaker

think of such things? She was unit,
a factor, nothing more. If my future
were black, it was better surely to face
it like man than to attempt to bright

AN tDYL OF THE NURSERY.

Takes too long to walk downstairs"
All the youngsters say.
You have to go so awful slow,
And you must feel your way.
And You may trip or you may slip
And tumble down below
Sliding down the banisters,
The only way to go.
Sliding down the banisters,
Swifter than flash,
Whizzing through the atmosphere,
Cutting quite dash,
Makes the blood rush to your brain,
Rocking like railway train,
Mind the curves with might and main
As you sway and clash.
Elevators seldom rise.
They get out of gear. 4
And the railway to the skies
Tied up as you hear.
But the boys are bound to slide.
Through the Grid air to glide,
And they swoop with boyish pride,
And you hear them cheer.
Sliding down the banisters
Takes your breath away,
And, OIL the noise Of girls and boys
Flushed with frantic play.
Laughter peallng thro' the air
Drives away your grim despair.
Lulls the fevered brow OF care,
Meath the children's sway. & w

TIE STATEMENT OF THE CASE

THE STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
Miss Morstan entered the room with
a firm step and an outward composure
of manner. She was blonde young
lady. small, dainty, well gloved, and
dressed in the most perfect taste.
There was, however, plainess and
simplicity about her costume which
bore with it a suggestion of limited
means. The dress was somber gray
ish beige, untrimmed and unbraided,
and she wore small turban of the
same dull hue, relieved only by a sus-
picion of white feather in the side. Her
face had neither regularity of feature
nor beauty of complexion, but her ex-
preston was sweet and amiable, and
