was just too late. 1t had been let
about month ago. Mr.. Williamson
was the name Of the tenant. He was a
respectable, elderly gentleman. The
polite agent was afraid he could say no
more, as the affairs Of his clients were
not matters which he could discuss.
Mr.. Sherlock Holmes listened with
attention to the long report which 1
was able to present to him that even
ing, but 1t did not elicit that word Of
curt praise which 1 had hoped for and
should have valued. On the contrary,
his austere face was severe.
''Your hiding place, my dear Watson
was very faulty. You should have been
behind the hedge. Then you would
have had close view of this interest
ing person. AS it is, you were some
hundreds Of yards away and can tell
me even less than Miss Smith. She
thinks she does not know the man. I
am convinced she does. Why, other
wise, should he be so desperately anx-
ious that she should not get SO near
him as to see his features? You de-
scribe him as bending over the handle
bar. Concealment again, you see. You
really have done remarkably badly. He
returns to the house, and you want to
find out who he is. You come to a
London house agent!''

with some heat
"Gone to the nearest public house.
That is the center of country gossip.
They would have told you every name
from the master to the scullery maid.
Williamson? 1t conveys nothing to my
mind. If he is an elderly man he is
not this active cyclist who sprints
away from that young lady's athletic
pursuit. What have we gained by your
expedition? The knowledge that the
girls story is true. l never doubted it.
That there is connection between the
cyclist and the hall. 1 never doubted
that either. That the hall is tenanted
by Williamson. Who's the better for
that7 Well, we'll, my dear sir, don't
look so depressed. We can do little
more until next Saturday, and in the
meantime may make one or two in
quiries myself"
Next morning he had note from
Miss Smith recounting shortly ana ac-
curately the very incidents which
had seen, but the pith OF the letter lay
In the postscript:
II am sure that you will respect my
confidence, Mr.. Holmes, when l tell
you that my place here has become diff
f1cult owing to the fact that my en-
ployer has proposed marriage to me.
am convinced that his feelings are
most deep and most honorable. At the
same time my promise is Of course
given. He took my refusal very seri-
ously, but also very gently. You can
understand, however, that the situation
Is little strained"
"Our young friend seems to be get

thoughtfully as he finished the letter.

and the man behind her bending low
over his handle bar with curious,y
furtiye suggestion in every movement.
She looked back at him and slowed her
pace. He slowed also. She stopped.
He at once stopped. too, keeping 200
yards behind her. Her next movement
was as unexpected as it was spirited.
She suddenly whisked her wheels
round and dashed straight at him. He
was as quick as she, however, and
darted off in desperate flight. Present
ly she came back up the road again, her
head haughtily in the air, not deigning
to take any further notice of her silent
attendant He had turned also and
still kept his distance until the curve of
the road hid them from my sight.
I remained in my hiding place, and it
was well that 1 did so, for presently
the man reappeared, cycling slowly
back. He turned in at the hall gates
and dismounted from his machine. For
some minutes could see him standing
among the trees. His hands We're
raised, and he seemed to be settling
his necktie. Then he mounted his cycle
and rode away from me down the drive
toward the hall. ran across the heath
and peered through the trees. Far
away could catch glimpses Of the old
gray building, with its bristling Tudor
chimneys, but the drive ran through a
dense shrubbery, and saw no more of
my man.
However, it seemed to me that had
done fairly good mornings work, and
I walked back in high spirits to Farm
