Albert Redmayne comes from Italy to try to solve the mystery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER IX. A PIECE OF WEDDING CABE. Albert Redmayne, holding it his duty to come to England, did so, and Jenny met him at Dartmouth after his long journey. "Oh, that Peter Ganns were here!" he sighed again and again, while he thrust himself as near as possible to a great coal fire. Mr. Albert Redmayne slept well, but the morning found him very depress-. ed. He was frightened and awe- stricken. He detested "Crow's Nest!" and the melancholy murmur of the sea. He showed the keenest desire to return home at the earliest o a •ortun- ty and was exceedingly nervous after dark. "Oh, that Peter Ganns were here!" he exclaimed again and again, as- • a comment to every incident unfolded by Brendon or Jenny; and then, when she asked him if it might be possible to summon Peter Ganns, Mr. Red- mayne explained that he was an Am- erican beyond their reach at present. "Mr. Ganns," he. said, "is my best friend in the world—save and except- ing one man only. He my first and most precious intimate—dwells at Bellagio, on the opposite side of Lake Como from myself. Signor Virgilio Poggi is a bibliophile of European eminence and the most brilliant of men—a great genius and my dearest associate for twenty-five years. But Peter Ganns also is a very astounding person—a detective officer by pro- fession. "I myself lack that intimate knowl- edge of character which is his native gift. Books I know better than men, and it was my peculiar acquaintance with books that brought Ganns and me together in New York. There I served him well in an amazing police case and aided him to prove a crime, the discovery of which turned upon a certain paper manufactured for the Medici. But a greater thing than this criminal incident sprang from it; and that is my friendship with the wonder- ful Peter." He expatiated upon Mr. Peter Ganns until his listeners weariedof the subject. Then . Giuseppe Doria intervened with a personal problem. He desired to be dismissed and was anxious to learn from Brendon if the "DIAMOND DYE" ANY GARMENT, DRAPERY just Dip to Tint or Boil to Dye Each 15 -cent pack age contains direr tions so simple any woman ale. tint soft, delicate shades or dye rice, permanent colors In lingerie, silks, ribbons, skirts, waists, dresses, coat s, stockings, sweaters, draperies,. coverings, hangings. -event thing!

He found himself detained, how- ever, for sone days, until an official examination of the strange problem was completed. The investigation achieved nothing and threw no ray of light, either upon the apparent mur- der of Bendigo Redmayne, or the dis- appearance of his brother. MT. Albert Redmayne stayed no longer in Devonshire than his duty indicated, for he could prove of no service to the police. On the night previous to his departure he went through his brother's scanty library and found nothing in it of any inter- est to a collector. The ancient and wellethumbed copy of "Moby Dick" he took for sentiment, and he also direct- ed Jenny to pack for him Bendigo's "Log"—a diary in eight or ten vol- umes. He departed, assured that his fam- ily was the victim of some evil, con- cealed alike from himself and every- body else; but he promised Jenny that he would presently write to Ameriea I and Iay every incident of the case, so far as it was• known and reported, before his friend Ganns. Before he returned to the borders of Como and his little -villa beneath the mountains, the old scholar took affectionate ieave of Jenny and made her promise to follow him as soon as l she was able to do so. Robert Redmayne had vanished off the face of the earth and his brother with him. There remained of the fam- ily only Albert and his niece --a fact she imparted, not without melenchyy,,� to 1rtilc—Brendon, when the day came that he must take his leave of her and return to other and more profitable fields of work. For a period of several months the detective was not to hear"'more of'. those who had played their small parts in the unsolved mystery. He was busy enough and in some measure rehabili- tated a tarnished reputation by one, brilliant achievement in his finest' manner. On a day in late March, Brendan received a little, triangular-shaped box through the post from abroad, and opening it, stared at a wedge oe wed- ding cake. With the gift came a line''I —one only: "Kind and grateful re- membrances from Giuseppe and Jenny, Doris." She sent no direction that might en- able him to acknowledge her gift; but there was a postal stamp upon the covering and Brendon noted that the box came from Italy—from Ventimig- lia, a town which Doria once mention- ed in connection with the ruined castle' and vanished splendor of his race, CHAPTER X. ON QRIATE. Dawn had broken over Italy and morning, in honeysuckle colors, burned upon the mountain mists. Two women climbed together up the great acclivity of Griante. One was brown and elderly, clad in black with an orange 'rag wrapped about her brow—a sturdy, muscular creature who carried , a great, empty wicker basket upon her shoulders; the other was clad in a rosy jumper of silk; she flashed in the morning fires and brought an added beauty to that beau- tiful scene. Jenny ascended the mountain as. lightly as a butterfly. She moderated her pace to the Blower gate of the elder; and presently they both stopped before a Elias gray chapel perched be- side:the hill. path. Mr, Albert Redniayne`s silkworms, in the great airy shed behind his villa, had nearly all spun their cocoons now, for it was June again and the annual crop of mulberry leaves in the valleys beneathwere well-nigh exhiuged. Therefore Ameba Meme"tlj, the old bibliophile's housekeeper,' "made holi- day with his niece, now upon a visit to him, and together the women climb, ed, where food might be procured for the last tardy caterpillars to change their state. And then, where two tall cypresses stood upon either side, Jenny and As - twee stayed a while. - The lake below was now .reduced to a cup of liquid jade over which shot trtroamers ea light into the mountain shadowa.at its brink; but there were vessels fleeting on the waters that held the watchers' eyes. • They looked like twin, toy torpedo hoots -inhere streaks of red and black upon the water, with Italy's flag at the taffraii. But the little ships were no toys and Assunta hates! them, for the strange craft told of the, ceaseless battle waged by• authority against the mountain smugglers and reminded the widow of her own lawless husband's death ten years before. The women climbed presenting to a little field of meadow grass that sparkled with tiny flowers and spread its alpine sward among thickets of Mulberry. Here their work awaited them; but first they ate the eggs and wheaten bread, walnuts and dried figs that they had brought 'and shared little flask of red whie. They finished with a handful of cherries and then Assunta began to pluck leaves for her great basket ,while Jenny loitered a while and smoked a cigaret. It was a new habit acquired since her mar - Soon Soon the women started upon their homeward way. They had descended about a mile and at a shoulder of Grante sat down to rest in welcome shadow. And then, suddenly, as if it had been some apparition limned upon the air, there stood in the path the figure of a tall man. His red head was bare and from the face beneath shone a pair of wild and haggard eyes. They saw the stranger's great tawny mustache, his tweed garments and knickerbockers, Jenny uttered one loud cry of terror and fell unconscious. his red waistcoat, and the cap he caT- ried in his hand. It was Robert Redmayne. Jenny ut- tered one loud cry of terror and then relaxed and fell unconscious upon the ground. The widow leaped to her aid, but it was_ some time before Jenny came to her senses. "Did you see him?" she gasped, clinging to Assunto ,and gazing fear- fully where her uncle had stood. "Yes, yes—a big, red man; but he lilts no : en � e oda he was more frightened than we. He leaped down, like a rod fox, into the woods and disappeared." "Remember what you saw!" said Jenny tremulously: "Remember exact- ly what he looked Iike, that you may be able to tell Heels). Albert just hQW it was, Assunta. Ile is Uncle Al., bert's hrother---)lei rt Redmayne!":. Jenny helped Assunta with her great basket, lifted it on her shoulders and then set off beside her. "I have a horrible dread," she said. Something tells me that we ought to Le going faster. Would you be frig :t- ened if I were to leave you, Assunta, and make greater haste?" The other reanaged.,to understand and declared that site felt no fear. They parted and Jenny hastened, risked her neck sometimes, and sped forward with the energy of youth and an the wings of fear. Jenny saw and heard no more of the beirig who had, thus so unexpectedly returned into her life. Her thoughts were wholly with Albert Redmayne. He was at Bellagio when she reached home, and his man -servant, Assunta's brother, Ernesto, explained that Mr. Redmayne had crossed after luncheon to visit his dearest friend, the book lover, Virgilio Poggi, Jenny waited' itrlaestiently and she was at the landing stage .when Albert returned, He smiled to see her and. took off his great slouch hat. He looked at Jenny's frightened eyes and felt her hand upon his sleeve. "Why, what is wrongg? You are alarm- ed. No ill news of -Giuseppe?" "Come home`guickly," she answered, "and. I will explain,' • Jenny told him that she had seen Robert Redmayne, whereupon her uncle considered for five minutes, then declared himself Moth puzzled and alarmed. (To be continued.) A Bad Guess.

"Have nothing in your home that you do not •i.now to be useful, or be- lieve to be beautiful:" William Mor- ris,. People who do not anticipate with pleasure the time when they will fur- nish their own homes are, to say the least, lacking in -mental poise. When this occasion does occur It must be borne in mind that it is not how much Is chosen., but how suitable for the purpose. Take time in select. ing and do not purchase too many pieces of furniture, notwithstanding the advice of so-called experts, whose mein desire is to make a sale. You can always fill in. Space around the individual' pieces should be carefully considered. Do not be afraid of space, and, again, do not jumble and over -furnish. The feeling of rest and refinement and honeiikeness can only he obtained by leaving open and clear floor spaces and "should be studiedheith ea meeh cere at the furni- ture itself. Try to stow yourpersonality in ar- ranging your furniture. For instance, why inevitably plane the dining table in the middle of the room? Why not place it ageing the wall alongsld•e a window where you nary have a feast for the eyes, as well as for the inner man? Agaih, make up your mond what fur- niture you really regitiro before you purchase. Make a rough pian of the room and carefully indicate on it the position of the doors, fireplace and other unalterable details. 'Then plot on it the size of the furniture suitable and in the obviously best locations, and .endeavor to visualize the room as you wound like to see it furnished. Buy only what you know is ;good design and make, and add from time to time as you can afford, rather than purchase Hauch poor stuff. "I adore antique furniture." How often one hears this remark: But is it sincere? Should wo live-in another age inentaLly or emotion'aliy.? Gloag, an Englioh writer of note, in hie book "Time, Taste and .l1 arniture," says, "It is quite time that house- holders generally woke up to the fact that they are...living in -the twentieth century, and if they scorn ,to use the uueomfortabie transport of •the past, deeiine to follow the dress Nations of our great, ,great grand-parente and re- frain from otuleriug their lives by modes and manners, not ,akin to their own period, then surely. they should abandoih the imitation of old remit -in% and enootirage the talent of the pre- sent day." .

A teAti THE STORY BEHIND) THE SONG By J. J. Geller "The Rotary," They were seated in the drawing room when the composer," a slim, white, tense figure, banded 'one of his guests, Francis Rogers, tiro barytone,. a scrap of music paper on which were scribbled seine notes and words in pencil He planned to have Roger rehearse this new composition in time for a recital scheduled th following week. (February, 1898) in Madison Square Garden -Concert Hall, of New 'York City. The rough manuscript that Rogers scanned was "The Ros- ary," the only writtten version of the famous song then in existence. It had just been set to music by Ethelbert Navin, and he delegated to Rogers the task of introducing it to the public, As the concert was only- a few day* distant, Mrs. Nevin's brother-in-law good naturedly wagered a dinner that the new song couldn't be mastered in time. Nevin playfully accepted the challenge and for the remainder of that week diligently rehearsed Rogers. When the day of the concert • ar- rived it found Rogers fully qualified ta) render the new ,song. That this sim- ple, unpretentious song of a soul trate tidy landed in the hearts of his listen- ers was duly recorded the next more- ing by the music reviewers in their 'columns. The following week the 'com- poser was the guest ,at a dinner ten- , dered him by his,wife's brother-in-la'w at the old Manhattan Hotel in New York City. Inspiration gave us the tender mel-' ody of "The Rosary." One evening Nevin sat leisurely reading' his mall and came upon a magazine clipping forwarded by an old childhood friend. •. It was Robert Cameron Rogers's (no relation to the singer) "short poem,. "The Rosary." With the first reading Nevin recognized its• lyric beauty and some indefinable feeling within him responded to these simple verses. He repeated them over and over ,and in a relatively few moments had mem- orized the poem. Upan his .return from the studio the next day he pass- ed a penciled manuscript to his wife and then 'sat down at the, piano and softly sang his compo ition to her. It was the same mauscript that he turn- ed urned over to the barytone later at the gathering in his drawing room. "The Rosary," with its universal ap-. peal of an anguished heart, sighing for happiness that., vanished, is; sung to- day in every civilized country.It hes even been dramatized and novelized. Mme. Schumann -Heinle has pro- claimed "The Rosary" her favorite American song and that alit) knows. of no other melofly ie which the con - poser has/ recaptured the beautiful sentiment of a lyric with suck sin plieify and directness. One need not be a faithful devotee of the rosary in order to ' be stirred by this lovely, haunting ballad of a living .soul's cry for blissful peace. In fact, the little dark -eyed king of jazz, Irving Berlin, the offspring of orthodox' Hebrew parents, recently remarked that he w :aid rather have- composed "The Rosary than any American song.
