BY A. CONAN DOYLE,

- "aia af lis strong, e-esa, IN,
ing east coast air with him us he en-
tered. Having shaken hands with each
Of us, he was about to sit down when
his eye rested uSon the paper with the
curious markings which 1 had just eN-
amined and left upon the table.
well, Mr.. Holmes, what do you
make of these?" he cried. They told
me that you were fond of queer mys-
teries, and l don't think you can find
a queerer one than that. l Sent the
paper on ahead, so that you might have
time to study it before l came.'
1T is certainly rather q curious pro-
duction." said Holmes. AT first sight
1t would appear to be some childish
prank. 1t consists Of a number Of alb
surd little figures dancing across the
paper upon which they are drawn. Why
should YOU attribute any Importance to
so grotesque an object?"
81 never should, Mr.. Holmes, but my
wife does. 1t is frightening her to
death. She says nothing. but l can see
terror in her eyes. That's why I want
to sift the matter to the bottom"
Holmes held up the paper so that the
sunlight shone full upon it. 1t was a
page torn from q notebook. The mark
ings We're done in pencil and ran in
this way
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1905-07-27

"Why, Mr.. Holmes, the crime was
only committed at 3 this morning. How.
could you hear Of it in London and GOT
to the spot as soon as II"
II anticipated it. I came in the hone
Of preventing it,"
"Then you must have important evi-
dence Of which we are ignorant. for
they were said to be a most united
couple"
II have only the evidence of the dane
ing men," said Holmes. 81 will ey-
plain the matter to you later. Mean
While, since it is too late to prevent this
tragedy. I am very anxious that l
should use the knowledge which l pos
sess in order to insure that justice be
done. Will you associate me in Your
investigation or will you prefer that
should act independently"
II should be proud to feel that we
were acting together, Mr.. Holiness
said the inspector earnestly.
"In that case I should be glad to hear
the evidence and to examine the prem
Uses without an instant Of unnecessary
delay"
Inspector Martin had the good sense
to allow my friend to do things in his
OWL fashion and contented himself
with carefully noting the results. The
local surgeon, an old, white haired
man, had just come down from Mrs.
Hilton Cubitt's room, and he reported
that her injuries We're serious, but not
necessarily fatal. The bullet had
passed through the front of her brain.
and it would probably be some time be-
fore she could regain consciousness.
On the question of whether she had
been shot or had shot herself he would
not venture to express any decided
opinion. Certainly the bullet had been
discharged at very close quarters.
There was only the one pistol found in
the room, two barrels Of which had
been emptied. Mr.. Hilton Cuhitt had
been shot through the heart. 1t was
equally conceivable that he had slo.
her and then himself or that she had
been the criminal, for the revolver lay
upon the floor midway between them.

THEY WE'RE GLUTTONS.
The Commands IF the Eighteenth
Century In England.

~ "OruldnUs OF the E1Enteentn
Century In England.
Plenty was the watchword of the
eighteenth century gormand in Eng
n His tables groaned under an ar
ray of food warranted to take away
the appetite of all save the Gargan-
tuas Of the day. One blessing was
evolved from the old sops and the later
bisques and o~1ios-soup, which now
was ever the prelude to the dinner. 1t
was removed for meat or fish-a chine
Of mutton and three ducks In the case
Of Squire Hill at Teddington, who, for
entrees to support them, offered pull
lets with eggs, fillet of beef and scol-
Tops, turkey en- daube, stewed carp,
veal q Ia royale, f~ricasseed chicken,
with ham and pigeons for center dish.
This was but the first course or relay.
Next came the roasts-two pheasants
and four cartridges and six teal, and
now, for side dishes, sweetbreaGs and
marrow, four Woodcock and ten snipe,
salmon and smelts, marrow pudding,
fore quarter Of lamb and oyster loaves.
For center dish, mince pies. And men
ate and survived, and still had heart
within them to wait the removal of the
cloth, and, greeting the dessert, sat
over the mahogany until indeed they
fell beneath it. After all, gormand is
not the name for such as these. They
were gluttOnS.

Holmes rubbed his hands and chuckled
with delight.
"Our material is rapidly accumulat-
ing" said he.
"Three days later Il message was left
scrawled upon paper and placed under
q pebble upon the sundial. Here it is.
The characters are, us you see, exactly
the same as the last one. After that l
determined to lie in wait, so | got out
my revolver, and sat up in my study,
which overlookS the lawn and garden.
About , in the morning l was seated
by the window, all being dark save for
the moonlight outside, when l heard
steps behind me, and there was my
wife in her dressing gown. She i'm
plored me to come to bed. l told her
frankly that 1 wished to see who it
was who played such absurd tricks
upon us. She answered. that it was
some senseless practical joke and that
l should not take any notice Of it.
eff it really annoys you, Hilton, we
might go and travel, you and l, and
so avoid this nuisance
"'What, be driven out of our own
house by Il practical joker?' said l..
Why, we should have the whole coun-
ty laughing at u.s.
"'Well, come to bed,' said she, and
we can discuss it in the morning.
suddenly, as she spoke, l saw her
white face grow whittier yet in the
moonlight, and her hand frightened up
on my shoulder. Something was NOV
ing in the shadow Of the Toulouse. 1
saw a dark, creeping figure which
crawled round the corner and squatted
in front of the door. Selling my pistol,
/ was rushing out when my wife threw
her arms round me and held me with
convulsive strength. l tried to throw
her off, but she chung to me most des-
perately. At last I got clear, but by
the time 1 had opened the door and
reached the house the creature was
gone. He had left a trace of his pres
ence, however, for there on the door
was the very same arrangement of
dancing men which had already twice
appeared and which 1 have copied on
that paper. There was no other sign
Of the fellow anywhere, though 1 ran
all over the grounds. And vet the
amazing thing is that he must have
been there all the time, for when I ex-
amined the door again in the morning
he had scrawled some more of his pic
lures under the line which I had al
ready SEEN"
"Have you that fresh drawingY'
eyes, it is very short, but 1 made a
copy Of it, and here it is."
Again he produced a paper. The
new dance was in this form:

you never play billiards except with
Thurston; fourth, you told me foul
weeks ago that Thurston had an op-
ton on some South African property
which would expire in a month and
which he desired you to share with
him; fifth, your check book is locked in
my drawer, and you have not asked
Tor the key; sixth, you do not propose
to invest YOU money in this man

"How absurdly simple" I cried.
Quite so," said he, a little nettled.
EVERY problem becomes very childish
when once it is explained to you. Here
IS an unexplained one. See what you
can make Of that, friend Watson" He
tossed a sheet of paper upon the table
and turned once more to his chemical
analysis.
I looked with amaa4ment at the alb
surd hieroglyphics upon the paper.
"Why, Holmes, it is a child's draw
ing!" I cried.
"Oh, that's your idea"
What else should it be?''
1eThat is what Mr.. Hilton Cubitt of
Riding Thorpe Manor, Norfolk, is very
anxious to know. This little conun-
drum came by the first post, and he
was to follow by the next train.
