... The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Copyright, 1921, by Harper Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

PART FIVE. We ran frantically down the path, which wound among the trees. We had reached the shrubbery which Burrounded the house when Holmes pulled up. "They didn't go to the bouse. Here are their marks on the left here, beside the laurel bushes. Ah! I saij FO." As he spoke, a woman's shrill scream a scream which vibrated with a frenzy of horror burst from the thick, green clump of bushes In front of us. It ended suddenly Jn its highest note with a choke and a gurgle. "This way! his way! They are In the bowling alley." cried the stranger, dartins through the bushes. "Ah, the cowardly dogs! Follow me gentlemen! Too late, too late, by the living Jin?o." We had broken suddenly into a lovely glade of greensward surrounded by ancient trees. On the farther side cf it, under the shadow of a mighty oak, there stood a singular group of three people. One was a woman, our client, drooping and faint, a handkerchief round her mouth. Opposite her stood a brutal, red-moustached young man, his gaitered legs parted wide, one arm sJdmbo, the other waving a riding crop, his whole atitude suggestive of triumphant bravado. Between them an elderly, gray-bearded man, wearing a shoA surplice over a light tweed suit .had evidently Ju6t completed the wedding service, for he pocketed his prayer book as we appeared, and slapped the sinister bridegroom upon the back in Jovtal congratulation.

"They are married!" I gasped. "Come on!" cried our guide; "come on!" He rushed across the glade. Holmes and I, at his heels. As we approached, the lady staggered against the trunk of the tree for support. Williamson, the ex-clergyman, bowed to us with mock politeness, and the bully, Woodley, advanced with a shout of brutal and exultant laughter. "You can take your beard off. ob," raid lie. "I know you, right enough. Well, you and your pals have just come in time for me to introduce you to Mrs. Woodley."

Our guide's answer was a singular

one. He snatched off the dark beard which had disguised him and threw it on the ground, disclosing a long, sallow, clean-shaven face below it. Then he raised his revolver and covered the young ruffian, who was ad

vancing upon him with his dangerous

riding crop swinging in his hand.

"Yes," said our ally, "I am ' Bob

carruthers, and III see this woman

righted, if I have to swing for it. I told you what I'd do if you molested her, and by the Lord! I will be as good

as my word. "You are too late. She is my wife." "No; she is your widow." His revolver cracked and I saw the

blood 6purt from the front of Woodley's waistcoat. He spun around with

a scream and fell upon his back, his

hideous red face turning suddenly to

a dreadful mottled pallor. The old

man, still clad in his surplice, burst into such a string of foul oaths as I

nave never neara, ana puiiea out a

revolver of his own, but before b.

could raise it, he was looking down the barrel of Holmes's weapon. "Enough of this," said my friend, coldly. "Drop that pistol! Watson.

pick it up! Hold It to his head! Thank you. You, Carruthers, give me that revolver. We will have no mors violence.- Come, hand it over!"

"Who are you. then?" "My name is Sherlock Holmes." "Good Lord!" "You have heard of me, I see. I

will represent the official polled until

their arrival. Here, you!" he 6houted to a frightened groom, who had appeared at the edge of the glade. Come here. Take this note, as hard as you can ride, to Farnham." He scribbled a few words upon a leal from his notebook. "Give it to the superintendent

at the police station. Until he comts I must detain you all under my personal custody." The strong, masterful personality of Holmes dominated the tragic scene, and all -were equally puppets in his hands. Williamson and Carruthers found themselves carrying the wounded Woodley in the house, and I gave my arm to the frightened girl. The injured man was laid on his bed and at Holmes's request I examined him. I carried my report to where he sat in the old tapestry-hung dining-room with his two prisoners before him. "Ho will live," said I. "What!" cried Carruthers, springing out of his chair. "I will go upstairs and finish him first. Do you tell me that girl, that angel, is to be tied to Roarins Jack Woodley for life?" "You. need not concern yourself about that," said Holmes. There are two very good reasons why she should under no circumstances, be his wife. In the first place we are very safe in questioning Mr. Williamson's right to solemnize a marriage." "I have been ordained," cried the old rascal. "And also unfrocked."

"Once a clergyman, always a clergyman. - "I think not. How about the license?"

"We had a license for the marriage. I have it here in my pocket." "Then you got it by a trick. But in any case, a forced marriage is nr. marriage, but it is a very serious felony, as you will discover before you have finished. You will have time to think that point out during the next

ten 'years unless I am mistaken. As to you, Carruthers, you would have done better to keep your pistol In your pocket" "I begin to think so , Mr. Holmes, but when I thought of all the precaution I had taken to shield this girl for I loved her. Mr. Holmes, and it is the only time that ever I knew what love was it fairly drove me mad to think that she was in the power of the greatest brute and bully in South

Africa a man whose name is a holy terror from Klmberley to Johannesburg. Why, Mr. Holmes, you win hard, ly believe it, but ever since that girl has been in my employment I never once let her go past the house where I knew the rascals were lurking, without following her on my bicycle, jut

to see that she came to no harm. I kept my distance from her, and I wore, a beard, so she would not recognize jn. for she it a good and high-spirited girl, and she wouldnVg have staid iru my employment long if she had' thought that I was following her abom the country roads." ,
