Mark Brendon, criminal investi- gator, is trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Michael, hus- band of Jenny Pendean. Jenny's uncle, Robert Redmayne, is missing and sus- pected of murder. Jenny goes to live with her uncle, Bondigo Redlcneyne. Robert visits Bendigo's neighborhood and sends word to his brother to meet him in a nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria, who works for Bendigo, takes his master to the meeting place. When Doria calls to bring Bendigo home he finds an empty cave. Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle, Albert Redmayne, lives. Robert is seen in Italy. Peter Ganns, famous Amer- ican .detective, assists Brendon in his investigations. Brendon meets Robert and the latter shoots at the detective. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. Brendon demurred. "Remember, I'm not a stranger to him, Ganns. I saw and spoke with him by the pool in Poggintor-Quarry before the mur- der;" "What of it? You've never spoken with him since; and, what's more, you've never seen hint since, either. You've seen a forgery. It was a forg- ery that looked at you on ypur way hack to Dartmouth in the moonlight. It was a forgery that robbed the farm 3or food and lived in the cave and cut Bendigo Redmayne's throat. It was a forgery that tried to shoot you and missed." Itis Ganns took snuff again and continued. "Mind," concluded Peter, who had early ewer ,urs, "I'm not saying that I am right. len only saying that, wild though it sounds. it fits and makes a logical story even though that story beats all experience. It might have happened; andif it didn't happen, then I'm dammed if I ItnowWhat did, or what is happening at this moment." Brendon delayed his answer and his y n face was racked with many poignant emotions. "I can't believe it," he replied at length, in a voice which indicated the extent of his mental amazement and perturbation; "but I shall nevertheless do exactly as you direct. That is well within my power and obviouslymy duty." "Good boy. And now well have something to eat. You've got it clear?' The time is all important." Mark scanned his notebook in which he had made voluminous entries. Then he nodded and shut it. Suddenly Mr, Ganns laughed.

"A funny little thing happened yes- terday afternoon that I forgot," he said. "I'd turned in, leaving my note- book otebook by my head, -when there came a visitor to my room. I was asleep all right, but my heaviest sleep won't hold through the noise of a fly on the win- dowpane; and lying with niy face to the deor I heard a tiny sound and lift- ed one eyelid. The door opened and Signor Doria put his nose in. Over he came as quiet as a spider, and I let hits get within a yard. Then I yawned and shifted. He was gone like a mos- quito, and half an. hour later I heard him again. But I got up and he didn't do more than listen outside. He want- ed that book bad—you can ghees how bad." For two days Mr. Ganns declared that he must rest; and_ then there came an evening when he privately invited Daria to take a walk. "There's a few things I'd like to put to you,»' -he said. "You needn't let on to anybody, else.'about it and we won't start together. You know my favorite stroll up the hill. Meet me at the corner—say seven o'clock." Giuseppe gladly agreed. They .ascended the hill side by side and the elder invited Doria's aid. "Between ourselves," he began, "I am not too well pleased with the way this inquiry is panning out. In plain words there's some dope coming be- tween Ms.rk and his work, and I should like to hear what you think of him, you being an independent witness and a pretty shrewd cussee "Marco is in love with my wifee" answered. Giuseppe calmly. "That is what's the matter with hint. And, as I don't trust my wife in this affair and still believe that she knows more about the red man than anybody else, I think, as long as she hoodwinks Brendon, he will be no manner of use to you." Peter pretended to be much aston- ished. They proceeded slowly and Peter kept the ball of conversation rolling while he pretended to be ° very busy with his plans and projects: Then a very strange thing 'happen- ed. happened. For there stood Robert Redmayne, his great, redhead and huge mustache thrusting out of the gloom. Ire stared quite motionless. His hands were by his sides; the stripes of his tweed jacket could be seen and the .tilt but tons on the 'familiar red waistcoat. Doria started violently, then stiffen- ed. For a moment he failed to conceal his surprise and cast one look of evi- dent horror and amazement at the apparition. "What's wrong?" asked Peter. "Did you see hinl—right in the path -Robert Redmayne?" But the. other only stared at Giu- seppe and peered forward. "I saw nothing," he `said; where- upon like lightning, the Italian's man- ner changed. His concern vanished and he laughed aloud. "What a fool—what a fool am I! It was the shadow of the shrine!" Gangs instantly dismissed the • sub- ject and appeared to attach no iniporte ance whatever to it; but Doria's mood was altered: He became less expan- sive and more alert. "We'll turn now," announced Peter half an hour afterward. "You're a smart lad and you've given me a bright thought or two. We must lec- ture Mark." CHAPTER XVI. TFIB Lsi8T 010' TH11' IUF•1}MA.YNSS. For the night immediately following Doria's experience at the old shrine,. Albert Redmayne and bis friend, Vir- gin() Poggi, had accepted Meek Bren- don's invitation to dine at the Hotel Victoria, where he still stayed, In order that he ;night enjoy pri- vate, ri-ve, e .conversation with Breeden and, at the sametime, keep a close watch upon eklbettt c6 Pe_becl proposed. the dinner party at tire hotel sled directed Brendon to issue the invilation as soeu as p,etimayne roter'nedl 1T In .

Well, Doria was fine. We stung hizn all right, and when he saw end thought he recognized the real. Robert Redmayne, it got him in the SolarHiatus—T'm doggone sure of that. For just a moment he slipped, but how could he help it? "You see the beauty of his dilemma. If he'd been straight,he'd have gone for yell; but he wasn't straight. He knew well enough that his Rabert•Red- znayne--•the forgery—wasn't on the warpath to -night; and when T said I saw nothing, he pulled himself to- gether and swore he hadn't either. And the next second he realized what he had done! But too late. I had my hand on my shooting iron in my pocket after that, I can tell you!" Peter then indicated his purpose. "He'll not guess we're moving quite so quickly • and, by so doing, we antici- pate his stroke, That; at least, is what I mean to attempt with your help, if possible. To -night and to morrow morning I keep beside Albert; then you must do so; because, after lunch, I have a meeting with the local police down the lake at Como. The warrant will be waiting for me and I shall return after dark in one of the k "The door opened and Signor Dora put his nose in. littie black boats of the doganieri. We shall come up with lights out and land at the villa. "Your part will be to keep Albert in sight and watch the others." An hour later the detectives saw Signor Poggi to , his boat and then walked home with Mr. Redmayne. Peter had provender concealed about his person and presently he explained to his friend that things were now conte to a climax. At the villa Brendon left them- and Jenny welcomed her uncle. The girl begged Mark to come in for a while before returning; but it was late and Mr. Ganns declared that everybody must retire. Mark presented himself early on the following day. And it was Jenny who first saw him. Then Peter ' Gamna joined them. "How is uncle " asked Mr. Red- mayne's niece, and Albert's friend de- clared the old book lover found himself indisposed. Ganns then announced his intention of going later._ta.. the town of Como, and he invited Doria and Brendon to accompany 'him; but Mark, already familiar with the part he had to play, declined, while Giuseppe also declared himself' unable to take the trip. "I must make ready to return to Turin," he said. "The world does not stand still. while Signor Pietro is catching his red man. I have business, and there is nothing to keep . me here any longer." After luncheon Mr. Ganns set off— in a white waistcoat and other adorn raents; Giuseppe also . left the villa, promising to return in a few hours; and Brendon' joined Albert in his sleeping apartment. Redmayne was dressed and lying on a couch beside the window. "This subterfuge and siinulation of ill health are most painful to me," he declared. "I am exceeding well to- day and all the better for our delight- ful diii.ner of last night. For nobody less than dear Peter would I ever sink 'to pretend anything it contrary to my nature and dispositicnso to. do." Doria returned for a while during the afternoon. He drank wine, ate fruit and addressed most of his con- versation to Brendon, who spoke with hint in the dining room for a while. -Jenny , said` nothing. • Then i)oria turned 'to. her and bade her pack his clothes..
