His two sons are unable to trace any signs of his great wealth. At last in an attic, concealed by a secret panel, they discover a brassbound box. It cont»ins jewels and a letter telling them that Mary Morston, the orphan daughter of one of the Sholto brothers of India, was entitled to a share in the treasure. Thaddeus, the young brother, is willing to carry out the dead father's wishes, but the elder brother insists they alone should claim all the jewels. Thaddeus writes Miss Morston an anonymous letter telling her she has been wronged. Miss Mortson immediately consults Sherlosk Holmes, the detective. Very exciting scenes follow. The fugitives are captured. They are brought to Holmes' rooms, but the jewels are not there.
