the long, straight passage, and there
was the fat man, running like the wind.
with a smear of blood across his face,
and close at his heels, bounding like q
tiger, the great black-bearded Sikh,
with knife flashing in his hand. I
have never seen man run so fast as
that little merchant He was gaining
on the Sikh, and could see that II he
once passed me and got to the open air
he would save himself yet. My heart
softened to him, but again the thought
of his treasure turned me hard and
bitter. / cast my frelook between his
legs as he raced past, and he rolled
twice over like shot rabbit. Ere he
could stagger to his feet the Sikh was
upon him, and buried his knife twice
In his side. The man never uttered
moan nor moved muscle, but lay where
he had fallen. think myself that he
may have broken his neck with the fall.

word of the business Just exactly as It

not"
He stopped and held out his man
acled hands for the whisky and water
which Holmes had brewed for him
For myself, confess that had now
conceived the utmost horror of the
man, not only for this cold-blooded
business in which he had been con-
cerned, but even more for the some
what fiippant and careless way in
which he narrated it. Whatever pun
ishment was in store for him, felt
that he might expect no sympathy from
me. Sherlock Holmes and Jones sat
with their hands upon their knees,
deeply interested in the story, but with
the same disgust written upon their
faces. He may have observed it, for
there was u touch of defiance in his
voice and manner as he proceeded.
1T was all very bad, no doubt" said
he. 81 should like to know how many
fellows in my shoes would have re-
fused share of this loot when they
knew that they would have their
throats cut for their pains. Besides, It
was my life or his when once he was in
the fort. If he had got out, the whole
business would have come to light, and
l should have been court-martialed
and shot as likely as not; for people
were not very lenient at time like
that"

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.
An Invalided FIsherman's Ingenious DE-
vice for Continuing His Sport

An Invalided FIsherman's Ingenious De-
Woo for Continuing His Sport
A cheerful example of ingenuity in
making the best of it" is to be seen at
an apartment house on Spruce street.
1t takes the form of long, light fish
ing rod fixed to one of the window
frames of q room on the third story In
such a way that the line depending
from it bangles over the sidewalk q
trifle less than seven feet from the
ground, says the New York Sun.
At the hook end of the line there is
fxed n light wire basket and at the
butt end of the pole there sits an In
valid, chained to his chair by paralysis
Of the legs. In his active days the In
valid was great fisherman, and, as his
wife Is old and feeble, too, 1t has been
the old fisherman's fancy to rig up this
pole and set it for bites. They come In
tho shape of the morning and evening
papers, his mail, messages from old
cronies who know his whim, and small
parcels from the neighboring trades
men, who also know his fancy.
When the old Waltonian Ia wheeled
IN his chair to the window In the morn
ing MS urSt glance lS down ut the
basket to see if there is any bite.
There nearly always Is, and then the
window is opened, no matter what the
weather may be, the line is wound In
on the reel until it reaches the end ring
on the pole, and then the ''fish" is dex-
terously landed
Sometimes, so the neighbors say, the
old fisherman makes believe to "play"
with the catch; and when, one day, q
friend loaded down the basket with
o shad that really required good deal
of skill to haul in, the invalid fisherman
was SO overjoyed when he did land 1t
that he could do nothing but smile for
the rest of the day. The cold spell has
bothered him n little, but when last
seen, during the recent high cold winds,
he had n heavy fur cap pulled down over
his ears, "a woolen comforter wound
around his neck, fur gauntlets on his
hands, and was hauling in package Of
tobacco and n letter with all the con-
centrated interest of n true angler hav-
ing 1t out with a gamy fish.
