in a 'rabbit hole a far distance from
the seem of the supposed murder.
&lark Brendon, famous crintinal
in-
vestigator, is engaged by Jenny to
Solve the mystery. Jenny goes to live
with her uncle Benchge Redmayne.
Breridon calls at Bentliges home and
meets Giuseppe Darla, who works
there.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Bendigo Redmayne grunted.
"Come in and seethe letter," he

very terrible indeed and I'm damn-
' I understand anything about it.
one fact is clear: my briather
te this letter and he wrote it from
mouth; and since he hasn't been
reported from Plymouth, I feel very
little doubt the thing he wanted to,
happen has happened."
Then he turned to his niece.
"We'll ha:ve a cup of tea in half an
hour Jenny. Meantime Pll take Mr.
trendott up to the tower room along
with me." •
Mrs. Pendean disappeared into the
house and Mark followed her with the
sailor.
They passed through a square hall
full of various foreign curiosities col-
lected by the owner. Then they ascend-
ed into a large, octagonal chamber,
like the lantern of a lighthouse, which
surmeunted the dwelling.
,My lookout," explained Mr. Red-
rnayne. "In foul weather I spend all
my time up here and with yonder
strong, three-inch telescope I can pick
up what's doing at sea. A bunk in the
corner, you see. I often sleep up here,
too."
"You might almost as well- be
afloat," said Brendon, and the remark
pleased Bendigo.
"That's how,I feel; and I can tell
you there's a bit of movement, too,
sometimes. I never wish to zee bigger
water than beat these cliffs during
the south-easteinlast March. We shook
our keel, I can tell you."
Ile went to a tall cupboard in al
unlocked y anseerrougat out- tr
square, woodeliaesk of old-fashioned
pattern. This he opened and produced
a letter which he handed te the de-
tective. ,
Brendan sat down in a chair under
the -Open window and read this com-
munication slowly. The writing was
large and sprawling; it sloped slightly
upward from left to right across the
sheet and left a triangle of white
paper at the rightshand bottom cor-
ner:

she wedded him against our wishes;
but my feeling didn't tnrn my head,
and 1 felt.glad to hear that Pendeau
was an tensest man, who did the best
be could at the Moss Depot"
Brendon, considered,
"A very sound view," he said, "and
'likely to be corneet. On the strength
of this letter, we may conclude that
when he went home, after disposing
of the body uncier Berry Head, your
brother must heve disguised himself
in some way and taken an early train
from Paignton to Newton Abbey and
frorn. Newton Abbey to Plymouth. He
would already have been there and
lying low before the hunt began."
"That' a how I figure it," answered
the sailor.
"When did you last see him, Mr.
Redmayne?"
"Somewhere about a month ago. He
came over for the day with Miss Reed
-the young woman he was going to
marry."
"Was he all right then?"
"Bendigo considered and scratched
in his red beard.
"Noisy and full of chatter, but
much as usual."
"Did he mention Mr. and Mrs. Pen -
dean ?"
"Not a. word, He was full up with
his young woman. They meant to be
married in late autumn and go abroa.d
for a run to see my brother Albert."
"He may correspond with Miss Reed
if he gets to France?"
"I can't say what he'll do. Suppose
you catch him presently? How woulri
the law stand? A man goes mad and
commits murder. Then you nab
him and he's as sane as a judge. You
can't hang him for what he did when
he was of his head, and you can't
shut him up in a lunatic asylum if
he's sane."
"A nice problem, no doubt," admit,
ted Brendon, "but be sure the law will
take no risks. A homicidal maniac,
no matter how sane he is between
times, is not going to run loose any
more after killing a man."
"WeR, that's all there is to it, de-
tective. If I hear again let the

for his family. He did -good work in
the war and got honors; and if he's
road, then the war made him mad."
"That would be taken very fully
into account, be sure. I'm sorry, both
for him and for you,
Mr. Rechnayne."
Bendigo looked sulkily from under
his tangled eyebrows.
"I shouldn't feel no very great call
to give him up to the living death Of
an asylum if he hove in here some
night."
"You'd do your duty -that I will

Bendigo nodded,
"I reckoned you'd want that," he
answered, and prodetced a second let-

It related to Robert Redmayne's
engagement to be married and the
writing was idennical.
