Mark Brendon, famous criminal in- vestigator, is engaged by Jenny Pen - dean to solve the mysterious disap- pearance of- her husband, Midhael. Pendean is last seen in the company of Jenny's uncle, Robert Redmayne, when the two visit a bungalow being erected by. Michael near Foggintor Quarry. . Blood is found on the floor of the cottage and witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on his motor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the eaddle. Jenny goes to live with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne, and Bren- don visits her there. Mark is intro- duced to Giuseppe Doria, who works for Bendigo. On the road to his hotel Brendon meets Robert Redmayne but fails to capture him, Jenny and Doria meet. Robert on the beach. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "He appears to be sane," she ans- wered. "He made no mention of the past and neither spoke of his crime nor of what he' had been doing since. Hem ado me send. Doria out of ear- shot and then told me that he had only come here to see you. He has been here some days, hidden in one of, the caves down the coast westward.' "And still you say he behaved like a sane man, Mrs, Pendean?" asked Brendon. "Yes—except for what seemed an insane fear. I implored him to come with me in the boat and see Uncle Bendigo and trust to the mercy of his fellow men. But he is very suspicious. He thanked me and groveled horribly to me; but he would not trust either me or Aerie, or think of entering the boat. "I asked him, then, to tell me what he wished and how I could help him. He considered and said that if Uncle Bendigo would see him quite alone and swear, before God, not to hinder his departure in any way after they had met, he would some to 'Crow's Nest' to -night after the household was asleep. "For the moment he watnts food and 'a lamp to light his hiding -place after dark. His hope is that you will give him means and clothes, so that he may leave England safely and get to Uncle Albert in Italy. He made us swear not to say where we had found him, and then he indicated a spot where I eras to bring your answer in writing before dark." Mr, Redmayne nodded. "And at the same time you had bet- ter take the poor wretch some food and drink and the Tamp. Hoer he has lived for the last six months I cannot understand." "In the first place," declared Robert Redmayne's brother, "the man must be mad, whatever appears to the con- trary. I'll agree to see him to -night —or rather to -morrow morning. I'll bid him come at ono o'clock, and Le ,hell find the door open and a light in the hall." Some provisions were put into the launch 'and, with the letter in her pocket, Jenny again set out. It was already growing dusk be- fore she left and Giuseppe drove the little vessel to its limit of speed. Then Brendon was much surprised.

"He had no watch, but Mrs. Pen - dean thought upon that and lent him hers.". Bendigo nodded and picked up a clay pipe, while Doria spoke again. "May -I speak of your niece a mo- ment before I go?" Bendigo shrugged his round shoul- ders and pushed his hand through his red hair. "Iter no good speaking to me till •iou've spoken to her," he said. "I know what you are after very well,: But it's up to her, I reckon, not me. She's gone her• own way since she was a nipper—got her father's will hid under her woman's shape." "Our Italian way is to approach the parents of the loved one," explained Darla. "To win you is to be far on my way, for you stand to her in the place of parent. Is it not so? She Gannet live alone. She was not meant by God to be'a single woman, or a wid- ow woman." "But wbat about your ambitions-' to wed an heiress and claim the title and the territory of your vanished forbears?" Doria swept his hands to right and left with 'a great gesture, as though !casting away his former hopes. "It is 'fate," he said. "I planned my life without love.. I had never loved and never wanted to. Now I do not want the rich woman but only she who wakens my passion, adoration, worship. Life has nothing in it but Madonna—English Jenny." "We can stow the subject for six months anyhow," -replied Bendigo, lighting his.. long elay. "I suppose, in -your country as well as mine, there's a right and a wrong way to approach a woman; and seeing my girl's a widow—made so under peculiarly sad circumstanees—you'll understand that love talk is out of the question for a good bit yet a while." It is too true," answered: the other. "Trust me. I will hide my soul and be exquisitely cautious. Her sorrow shall be respected—from no selfish mo- tive only, but because I am a gentle- man, entle man, as you remind me." ti He was gone and for a moment' only the hurtle of the rain on the ground windows of the tower room broke the silence; then Brendon emerged from' his hiding -place and stretched his limbs. Bendigo regarded him with an expression half humorous and half grim. "That's how the land lies," he said. "Now you've got it" Mark hent his head. As a clock in the hall below beat the hour of one he returned to the cup- board and drew the door behind him, Bendigo had just lighted another pipe when there came the sound of feet ascending the stairs; but it was no doubtful or cautious footfall that they heard. The ascending man neither hesitated nor made any effort to ap- proach without noise. He came swiftly and as the sailor stood up calm and collected, to meet his brother—not Robert Redmayne but Giuseppe Boris appeared. He was very agitated and his eyes shone. He breathed hard and wiped the hair away from his forehead. He had evidently been out in the rain, for water glistened on his shoulders and face. Boris, explained. "1 was going the rounds and just about to turn out the oil lamp over the front gate as usual when I remem- bered Mr. Redinayne.

"See here," he said. "I've got a damned, uneasy feeling about meeting my brother single-handed to -night. I can't tell you what it is. I've promis- ed to meet him alone and I shan't be telling the poor man a lie, beeause,.if all's straight and he shows no violence, he needn't • know anybody else is there." "You are wise and I quite agree with you," said Mark. "No doubt Doria is a man you can rely upon in every way and he is powerful too." But Bendigo shook his head. "No," he answered. "I've left this question - until Doria and my niece were out of the way for a very good reason. I don't want them in this thing any more than they are already. What I want up there is you and only: you. Brendon considered. "I confess the idea occurred to me as soon as we had your brother's offer; but seeing the terms, I couldn't press for it," he said. "Now I agree and, what's more, I think it would be very desirable if nobody—not even the household—lcnew 7 was here." "That can be done.

There are holes bored for ventilation at the height of a man's head from the ground." Brendon nodded. "That's all right," he said. "I'm considering what follows. Your bro tber goes free presently; and no doubt Mrs. Pendean will only wait until he is off to come up to you. I can't stop all night in the cupboard." "It don't matter a button after he's gone," answered Bendigo. "If you tell your ear to go, that's all that signifies for the minute.
