Only one word of epilogue. The American, Abe Slaney, was
condemned to death at the winter assizes at Norwich; but his
penalty was changed to penal servitude in consideration of
mitigating circumstances, and the certainty that Hilton Cubitt
had fired the first shot. Of Mrs. Hilton Cubitt I only know
that I have heard she recovered entirely, and that she still
remains a widow, devoting her whole life to the care of the
poor and to the administration of her husband's estate.

THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.
By ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE.
IV. --- The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist.
FROM the years 1894 to 1901 inclusive Mr. Sherlock Holmes was a
very busy man. It is safe to say that there was no public case
of any difficulty in which he was not consulted during those
eight years, and there were hundreds of private cases, some of
them of the most intricate and extraordinary character, in which
he played a prominent part.
