Brendonwas sitting beside the beat- en in the bows of the launch, and he Maid not but admire the Italian'a riming good looks. Moreover there ere mind and ambition revealed in Ira coupled with a frank cynicism fool pretends that he is less than he. ie. Such a gifted man as I, with the blood of a proud and a noble race in his veins everything to be desired— romance-and the gift to love as only an Italian loves --such a man must find a very splendid rich girl.

I should have seen him and his little mean hole Drat before coming to him, I advertise again and get into a higher atmos- phere." Brendon found his thoughts wholly occupied with Jenny Pendean, Was it within the bounds of possibility that she, as time passed to dim her sufferings and sense of - loss, might look twice at this extraordinary be- ing? He wondered, but thought it improbable. Moreover the last of the Dories evidently aimed at greater po- physical beauty, but to escape his vitality and the electric force of him was impossible. Brendon soon reached the police station and hastened to communicate with Plymouth, Paignton, and Prince - He could not but admire the Italian's good looks. have a good demon who talks to me sometimes. I am born for great deeds. I ant very handsome—that was need- ful; I am very clever—that, too, was needful. There is only one thing that stands between me and the ruined castle of my race at Dolceaqua—only one thing. And that is in the world waiting for me." Brendon laughed. "Then what are you doing in this motor launch?" "Marking the time. Waiting." "For what?" "A woman—a wife, my friend. The one thing needful is a woman with much money, My face will win her fortune—you undeahband, That is three separate pairs of feet, but could not. Inspector Halfyard, who 1 ad•follow ed the ease as closely as it was passible to do so, cast all the blame on Bendigo, the brother of the vanished assassin. "IIe delayed of set purpose," vowed I3•alfyard, "and them•two days may mance just all the difference. Now the murderer's in France, if not Spain." "Full particulars havebeen circu- lated," explained Brendon, but the inspector attached no importance to that fact. "We know how often foreign police catch a runaway, ' he said. "This is no ordinary runaway, how- ever. I still prefer to regard him as insane." "In that case he'd have been taken before now. And that makes what was simple before more and more of a puzzle in my opinion. I don't believe that the man was mad. I believe he was and is all there; and that being so, you've got to begin over again, Brendon, and find why he did it. Once grant that - this was -deliberately a g planned murder and a mighty sight cleverer than' it 'looked at firsteight, then you've got to ferret back into the. past and find what motives Redmayne had for doing it." But Brendon was not convinced, "I cen't agree with you," he answer- ed. "I've already pursued that theory, butit is altogether too fantastic, We know, from impartial testimony, that the men were the best of friends up to the moment- they left Princetown together on Re irrayne's motor bicycle the night of the trouble." "What impartial testimony? You caii't call 14lrs. Pendean's evidence im- partial." "Why not?

CHAPTER V. ROBERT REDMAYNE I9 SEEN. A sense of unreality impressed itself upon Mark Brendon after this sive chord in the hearts and minds of many who appreciate an attractive bonze, and the accompanying penspee- tive does much to vividly account for and justify it, There is no mistaking the architec- tural origin of escaping the charm or such a blending of stone, brick amid stucco; the well eloped, gabled roof; the chimney, - leaded glees wi:ndowe with centre shields; parte coehere at the left and the half-biinber and stucco Erich appeared in a moment. wall to front of ,the verandah, Equally "Families have hung on a thread Mage in his inquiry, A time Was 0om.- interesting and pertinent to this dte- tng when the false atmosphere in th Ice that sometimese' said Mark; "tire. lighdittl type of architecture are e which he moved would be blown away droned, door with wrought iron tread of a solitary life, Perhaps you by a stronger mind and a greater large ba se born to revive the fortunes of your haurdware aural the smatters.

From Paignton on the following morning Brendon proceeded to Ply- mouth and directed a strenuous and close inquiry. But he knew well i enough that lie was probably tan late and judged with certainty that if Robert Redmayne sti;tl lived, he would no longer be in England. Next he re- turned to Princetown, that he might go over the ground again, even while appreciating the futility of so doing. But the routine lia[t to be observed.
