Witnesses testify to having seen

with a heavy sack behind the saddle.
The sack is found at a far distance.

tions,
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
.,He heard a singing voice and per-
ceived that it was Doria, the motor
boatman. Fifty yards from him Mark
stood still; and the gardener abandon -
d his work and came forward. He
was bareheaded and smoking a thin,
' ck, Tuscan cigar with the colors of
1 on a band round the middle of it.
'Giuseppe recognized him and -spoke
first; h
"It is Mr. Brendon, the Sleuth! He
as come with news for my master?"t
"No, .Doria no news,, worse luck;
ut I was this way—down at Ply'-
outh again—and thought I'd look up
Mrs. Pendean and her uncle. Why
d'you call me `sleuth'?"
"I read story -books of crime in
which the detectives are 'sleuths' • Tt
is American. Italians say ''sbirre,'
England says `police officer.'" '
"How is everybody?" asked Mark. t
"Everybody very well. 'Time passes;1

She was excited and her great misty
Kee eyes shone, She seemed more
lovely than ever.
"Nothing to report, Mrs. Pendean,
At least—no, nothing at all. I've ex-
hausted every possibility. And you
you have nothing; or you would have
let me hear it?"
"There is nothing," she said. "Uncle
Ben would most eertainly have told
me if any news had reached him. I
am sure that he is dead—Robert Red-

edmayne."
"I think so too. Tell me a little
about yourself, if I may venture to
ask?"
"You have been so thoughtful for
me. And I appreciated it. Pm all
right, Mr, Brendon- There is still
my life to live and I find ways of be-
ing useful here."
"You are contented then?"
"Yes, Contentment 3s a. poor sub-
stitute for happiness; but I am con-
tented,"
He longed to speak intimately, yet.
had no excuse for doing so.
"How much I wish it was in my
power to brighten your content into
happiness again," he said.
She smiled at him.
"Thank you for such a friendly*
Wish. I axe sure you 'mean it."
"Indeed I de."
"Perhaps I shall come to London
some day, and : then you would be-
friend me a. little."
"How much I hope you will—soon."
"But I am dull and stupid still. I
have great relapses and sometimes
cannot even endure my uncle's voice.
Then I shut myself up. i chain my-
self like a savage thing, for a time,

',You should Lave distractions."
"Th • p plenty—even here,
hough you might not guess it. Gu -
"And you are still looking for the
rich woman to restore the last of the
Dories to his castle?"
Giuseppe laughed, then he shut his
eyes and sucked his evil -smelling
Cigar.
"We shall see as to that. Man pro-
poses, God disposes. _There is a god
called Cupid, Mr. Breeden, who over-
turns our plans as yonder ploughshare
overturns the secret homes of beetle
and worm."
Mark's puree quickened. He guessed
to what Doria possibly referred and
felt concern but no surprise. The other
continued.
"Ambition may succumb before
beauty. Ancestral castles may crumble
before the tide of love, as a child's
sand building before the sea.. Too
true!"
Doria sighed and looked at Bren-
don closely, The Italian stood in a
tight -fitting jersey of brown wool, a
very picturesque figure against his
dark background. The other had no-
thing to say and prepared to descend.
He guessed what hadhappened and
was concerned rather with Jenny Pen -
dean than the romantic personality
before him
But that the stranger
could still be here, exileci in this lone-
ly spot, told him quite as much as the
man's words! He was not chained to
"Crow's bj'•est" with his great ambi-
tions In abeyance for nothing. ii4ark,
however, pretended to miss the signifi
.once of Giuseppe's confession.
"A good master—eh? I expect the
old sea wolf is an excellent friend
when you know his little ways.
Doria admitted it.
"He is all that I could wish and he
likes me, beeause ,I' understand him
and make much of him. Every dog is
a lion , on in his own kennel. Redma e
rules; but what is the good of a home
to .a man :if he does not rule? We are'
friends. Yet, alas, we may not be for
long• -when —"
He broke off abruptly and went
back to his work, But he turned a
mora-snt and spoke again as Brendan
proceeded.
"Madonna is at home," he shouted
and Mark dnderstood to whom he re-
ferred:
Ile had reached "Crow's Nest" in
five minutes and it was Jenny Pen-
dean who welcomed him.
"Undo's' in his tower," she said.
"I'll . call him in a rnitibte.. But tell
