BEGIN HERE TO -DAY,
Mark Brendon famous criminal in-
vestigator, is trying to solve for Jenny
Pendean the mystery of the disap-
pearance of her husband, Michael.
Pendean is last seen in theom an
of Jenny's uncle, Robert Redmayne,
when the two visit a bungalow being
erected by ° Michael near Foggintor
Quarry.
Blood is found on the cottage floor
and witnesses testify to having seen.

seen the poor chap. As a brother I
ask it."
"Trust me. It's quite understood
that nothing shall be done now until
you have seen him and reported. It
may not be regular, but common hu-
manity suggests that."

Jenny goes to live with her uncle,

its her there. Mark meets Giuseppe
Doria, who works for Bendigo, On the
road leading to his hotel, Mark sees
Robert Redmayne but fails to capture
him Jenny and Doria find Robert
'and arrange for him to meet Bendigo:.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Mark visited the police station' and ex-
plained the need for further delay. He
telephoned to Scotland Yard and pres-
ently returned to ""Crow's. Nest."
Doria landed Brendon and then put
off again, going slowly down the coast.
The night came at last -very dark
overhead but clear and calm. The
tide was just making and midnight
had struck when Bendigo Redmayne,
Bendigo spoke, not to Doria, but to in rough -weather kit, stumped down
his •long Sight of steps and went to
sea. Brendan and Jenny stood above
under the flagstaff,
Anon they saw the flash of a ruby
and an'emerald upon the sea westward
and soon heard Redmayne's motor
boat returning. Less' than half an hour
had passed. Only Giuseppe Doria
ascended the steps and he had little'
to tell,
"They didn't want me yet, so I ran
back," he said.
"They went back into the cave to-
gether and I am to return within an
hour."
Doria smoked some cigarettes and
then descended again. Jenny bade
Mark good night and retired.

in astonishment.

"Pull yourself together and help

"Where does this place lead?

Brendon in front and • the ,light from

their ascent. Save for a drop of
blood here and there, the stone stair
way gage no clue; but when they had
reached' its summit and the subterran
can path turned to the left, still in a
tunnel of the solid rock, they marked
on the ascending slope, slippery with
percolations from a roof, a straight
smear dragged over the muddy sur-
face.
For the last ten yards of the tunnel
Mark had to go an hisknees and crawl.
Then he emerged and found himself
in the open air on a shelf hung high
between the earth and the sea.

"We'll ride home by motor from.
above," he said.
The 1aupch teras off and once more
the chimney with the steps, the inclin-
ed plane beyond, and the plateau half-
way up the tail were all examined
with patient scrutiny.
For hours, until dusk began to
deepen on the precipices above them,
the men worked' as skillfully and
"Where is the path from here?"
Mark asked, and Doria, proceeding
cautiously to the east of the plateau,
presently indicated a reeky footpath
that ascended from it.
Brendon desired to be at Dartmouth
as swiftly as possible, so that a search
might be instituted at dawn. Doria
considered whether he might make
best speed by road or water, and de-
eidod htat he could bring Mark more
quickly to the seaport in the launch
than along the highway.
Brendan agreed and they descended
the zig-zag path and then, from the
plateau, re-entered the tunnel and
presently reached the steps again and
the cavern beneath. Extinguishing
the lamp, which still burned steadily,
they were soon afloat.
Brendon directed Doria how to aet.
"Tell Mrs. Pendean and the servant
to lock up the house and then join us,"
he said.
Doria obeyed and in ten minutes re-
turned with Jenny, dazed and pale,
and the frightened domestic still
fumbling at her bodice buttons.
Doria's work was now done and,
having directed him to take the women
back, Mark bade thein all keep the
house until more news should reach
them.
In half an hour the newsy°' had
spread, search parties set out by; land,
and Brendan himself, with Inspector
Damarell and two constables, put to

their fruitless task was done. ---
The entrance of "Crow's Nest"
opened upon the highroad which took
the police. -back t6 Dartmouth, and
here Brendon delayed the car and des-
cended alone down the coomb to the
house. Mark inquired for Jenny of
the frightened maid.
"Ask Mrs. Pendean if she can see
me a moment," be said, and the woman
left him. to ascertain. But Brendon
was disappointed. Jenny sent word
that she could not see him to -day and
hoped he -would take occasion to call
on the following morning, when he
would find her more composed.

Weary and out of spirits, Mark left
the police' station and went to ,.his
hotel.
He fell asleep ,at last, thinking not
of the vanished sailor, but Jenny Pen .
Mark was early astir and with In
spector Damarell he organized an
elaborate search system for the day.
Brendon proceeded presently to
"Crow's Nest," drawn thither solely
by thoughts of Jenny. He found her

The season which has just closed

to the development of the natural re-

at the same time •enabling much larger'

Force and the Topographical Survey
Department of the Interior.

Mapping - and investigating these
regions by ground methods. alone is
mare expensive' and much less accu-
