A Good Thing.

Every issue of The Four-Track News
makes it easier for ticket agents and
ticket sellers to secure passengers for
distant parts of the country, for the
reason that every article and every
illustration in The Four-Track News
is an inducement FOR readers to travel
and see what marvellous variety of
scenery and climate our own country
possess. The more these facts are inn
pressed upon the average person, the
more certain he or she is to have a de-
sire to travel. Therefore. The Four
Track News is not only in the interest
of all the transportation lines and
hotels, it also bears out the legend of
it's title page OF "An illustrated Maga-
zine of travel and education. Prom

Adventure of the Empty House.
Holmes drew in bis breath with q
shrill, excited intake. In the dim
light saw his head thrown forward,
his whole attitude rigid with attention.
Outside the street was absolutely de-
serted. Those two men might still be
crouching in the doorway; but could
no longer see them. All was still and
dark, save only that brilliant yellow
screen in front of US with the black
figure outlined upon its ceptre. Again,
in the utter silence / heard that thin
sibilant note. which spoke OF Intense
suppressed excitement. An instant
later. he pulled me back into the black
est corner of the room, and | felt his
warning hand upon my lips The
fingers which clutched me were quiv-
ering. Never had / known my friend
more moved. and yet the dark street
stretched lonely and motionless before
US.
But suddenly was aware of that
which his keener sense had alre ,dy
distinguished. A low, steady sound
came to my ears. not from the direct
ion of Baker Street, but from the back
OF the very house in which we lay
concealed. A door opened and shut
and shut. An instant later steps crept
down the passage-steps which were
meant to be silent, but which reverber.
ated harshly through the empty house.
Holmes crouched back against the
wall, and did the same, my hand
closing upon the hand of my revolver.
Peering through the gloom. / saw the
vague outline of man, shade blacker
than the blackness of tho open door.
He stood for an instant, and then he
crept forward. He was within three
yards of US. this sinister figure, and l
had braced myself to meet his spring.
before realized that he had no idea of
our presence. From Golfers Weekly.
