REDMAYNESi Ir.)I Pili •1titL..Rti'rr3 tit.tipoT RKee'ts sy 6y 0 Trt1476ipeo • fie BEGIN HERE TO -DAY, Michael, husband of Jenny Pendean, disappears' and Robert Redmayne, Uncle to Jenny, is suspected of mur- der, Mark Brendon, criminal investi- gator, has charge of the case. Jenny goes to .live with her uncle, Bendigo edmayne, Robert, in hiding, sends for Bendigo to come to a secret cave. Both men disappear and there is evi- dence of a terrible struggle In the cave. Jenny marries Giuseppe Doria, who works for Bendigo, and they go to dive in Italy, where Jenny's uncle, Al- bert Redmayne lives. Peter Ganns, famous American de- tective, assists Brendon in the investi- gations. Ganns arranges an arrest of Doria. Jenny is killed when she throws her-• self in front of her husband and re- ceives the bullet meant for him when he tries to escape." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Nothing at present was positively known by me which made it out of the question that, Joseph Pendean's wife should be the mother of. Giuseppe Doria. But none the less many facts might exist as yet beyond my knowl- edge!, which would prove such a sus- picion vain. I considered how to ob- tain these facts and naturally my thought turned to Giuseppe himself. "Having found out what Penzance could tell. me, I beat it up to Dart- mouth, because I was exceedingly anx- ious to learn, if possible, the exact date when Giuseppe Darla entered the employment of Bendigo Redmayne as motor boatman. Albert's brother hadn't any frierrds that I could find; but I traced hie doctor and, though he was not in aosition to enlighten zne p i; , e Heft anot er man—an innkeeper at Tor -cross,' some miles away on the coast—who aught be familiar with this vital date. "Mr. Noah Blades proved a very shrewd and capable chap. Bendigo Redmayne had known him well, and it was after spending a week at the Tor -cross Hotel with Blades and go- ing fishing in his motorboat, that the old sailor had decided to start: one himself at 'Crow's Nest.' He did so and his first boatman was a failure. Then he advertised for another and received a good many applications. He'd sailed with Italians and liked them on a ship, and he decided for Giuseppe Doria, whose testimonials appeared to be exceptional. The pian came along and, two days after his arrival, ran Bendigo down to Tor - arose in his launch to see Blades. "Redmayne, of course, was full of the murder at Prineetown, which had just occurred, and the tragedy proved so interesting that Blades had little time to notice the new motor boatman; But what matters is that we know it was on the day after the murder—on the' very day Bendigo heard what his brother, Robert, was supposed to have done at Foggintor Quarry—that his new pian, Giuseppe Doria, arrived at 'Crow's Nest' .and took on his new du- ties. "That meant that not Pendean,, but his wife's uncle, Robert Redmayne, ]perished on Dartmoor. And there he Ilea yet, my son 1" Mr. Ganns took Snuff and proceeded. "Here,. T think, we may sparea tri- bute of admiration to Pendean's his- trionics. Both he and his wife were heaven -born comedians as well as hell- born criminals. That he will leave full statement before the end, I venture to prophesy. His egregious vanity demands it. You may even expect something a .little new in the suicide line .if they give him a chance; for be sure he's thought of that. "And now I'll indicate how I brought fact after fact to bombard my theory, and how the theory with- stood every assault until I was bound to accept it and act upon it. "We start with the assumption that Pendean is living and Robert Red°° mayne dead. We next assume that Pendean, having laid out his wife's uncle at Foggintor, gets into his clothes, puts en a red mustache and a red wig and starts for Berry Head on Redmayne's motor bicycle. The sack supposed to contain the body is found, and that is all. His purpose is to indicate a hiding -place for the corpse and lead search in a certain direction; but he -is not going to trust the sea; he is not going to stand the risk of Robert Redinayne's corpse spoiling his game. No, his victim never left Foggintor and probably Michael will presently tell us where to find the dy. `:Meanwhile a false atmosphere is bre It makes them smile— . , yes sure worth while.

The fust, clue the forged letter, purporting to come from Robert Redrnayne;to his brother. Who sent . it? Jenny Pendean on her way, through Plymouth to her Uncle Bendigo's home. "Jenny plays widow but spends as much time as she wants in her bus- baird's 'arms all the same; and . to- gether they plan to put out poor Ben. He'd never seen Pendean, of course, which made the Doria swindle pos- sible. I incline to think that Michael meant to begin with the oli'. sailor and that, when Robert turned up unex- pettedly on Dartmoor, he 'altered his 1 laps. .- "Now we con're to the ;• preliminary. steps at "Crow's Nest' which ended in the defi:th of the second brother: You offered just the starting point; apd before you left on that rough, moon- light night, Pendean had recreated the forgery of Robert Redmayne and ep- geared before you in that character. And not content with this, he kept the. part going for all it was worth. As Robert Redmayne, he broke into Strete Farm and was seen by Mr. Brook, the farmer. I "Now we get to blindman's buff with the 'forgery. Follow` each step. Bendigo never sees his supposed bro- ther once; you never seen' him again.

Whether he meant to finish, off Ben that night, you can't be sure; but there is very little doubt of R. Everything was planned, "Now we get another lifelike report of runaway Robert; and finally flee- digo consents tovisit him hi hishiding place. The letup is going toburn and show the inarticular cave on that honeycombed coast :where Bendigo's brothel. is supposed to:. be concealed. Another night conies and Ben goes to his death. "Two Rednaayires have gone to thsir account and there remains but one. Meantime the course of true love runs smoothly and Doria marries his wife again." ' CHAPTER XVIII, CONFESSION, During the autumn assizes, Michael Pendean was tried at Exeter and con- demned. to death for the murders of Robert, Bendigo and Albert Red- mayne. He offered no defence and he was only impatient to return to his seclusion within the red walls of the county jail, where he' occupied the brief balance of his days with just such a statement as Peter Ganns had foretold that he would seek to make, This extraordinary* document was very characteristic of the criminal. Here is his statement, word for Word, as he wrote it: MY- APOLOGIA. "Hearken, ye judges! There is an- other madness besides, and it is before the. deed.. Ah1 Ye have not gone deep enough into this soul! •-Thus speaketh the red judge; 'Why did this criminal commit murder? Ile meant to rob.' I tell you, however, that his soul hun- gered for blood, not booty; he thirsted for the happiness of the knife!" And again: "What is this man? A coil of wild serpents at war against themselves- so they are drivenapart to seek their prey in the world." So wrote one whose art and wisdom are nought to this rabbit -brained gen- eration; but it was given to me to find niy meat and drink within his pages and to "see my ewn youthful: impres- sions reflected and crystallized with the brilliance of genius in his stu- pendous mind. ' Remember, I, who write, ant not thirty years:eld, As a young man without -experience I sometimes asked myself if some spirit from another order of beings than my' own had not been slipped into niy Inman carcass.

My father and his friends wallowed in this complaint. At fifteen years' of age I kilted a' man,and found, in a murder under- taken for very definite reasons, a thrill beyond expectation. Thatinci- dent is unknown; the death of any father•'s foreman, Job Trevose, has not been understood till now. He lived at Paul, a village upon the heights nigh. Penzance. Among the fish -curing sheds one day, unseen, I chanced to hear Trevose speak of my another to another Haan anddeclare that she di d evil and dishonored niy father. '•. From that moment I doomed Tre- vose to death and, some weeks later, after many failures to win the right conditions, caught him alone in a sea fog.
