Robert Redmayne, uncle of Jenny Pendean, is suspected,. of the murder of Jenny's husband, Michael. Robert disappears and is being pursued by Mark Brendon, criminal investigator. Jenny goes to live with her. uncle, Bendigo Redmayne; Brendon meets Robert ;in the woods near Bendigo's home but fails to capture him. Giu- seppe Doria works for Bendigo. When Doria and Jenny find Robert they ar, range a meeting at .Bendigo's hone, but Robert fails to keep the appoint- ment: Robert sends word to Bendigo to meet him alone in a nearby cave. Doria takes Bendigo to the appointed place and leaves him with Robert. When Doria returns for his master, both risen, have disappeared. Albert Redmayne comes from Italy to try to solve the mystery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER IX: A PIECE OF WEDDING CASE. Albeit Redmayne, holding it his duty to come to England, did so, and Jennyanetehim 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 opportun- ity and was exceedingly nervous after "Oh, that Peter Germs 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 Gann, 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 turnedupon a certain paper manufactured for the Medici. But a greater thing than this criminal incident sprang from it; and Alai; is my friendship with the wonder - i 1 Peter." He expatiated upon Mr. Peter mix until n 7 has listeners wearied of 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 reach 15 -cent pack age contains dir•ec Cons so simple any woman can tint soft, delicate shades or dye rich, permanent colors in lingerie, silks, ribbor-e, skirts, waists, dresses, coats stockings, sweaters, draperies, coverings, hangings ---ev.rything!

ISSUE No. 9—'26. law permitted him to leave the neigh- borhood. He found himself • detained, how- ever, for some 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 nnvur- der of Bendigo Redmayne, or the dis- appearance of his brother. Mr. Albert Redmayne stayed no Inger 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 welt -"thumbed copy of "Moby Dick" he took for sentiment, and he also direct- ed -Jenny to pact; 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 America and lay 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 leave of Jenny and made her promise to follow him as soon as 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 melancholy, to Mark Brendon, when the day carne 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 pmts 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, Brendon received a little, triangular-shaped box through the post from abroad, and opening it, stared at a wedge of wed- ding cake. With the gift came a line —one only: "Kind and grateful re- membrances from Giuseppe and Jenny Doria." - 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 GRIANTE. 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 _parried 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 beak- tiful scene. Jenny ascended the mountain as lightly as a butterfly. She moderated her pace to the slower gate of the elder and presently they both stopped before a lilt:e gray chapel perched be- side theehill path. Mr. Albert Redmayne's silkworms, in the great airy shed behind his villa,. led nearly all spun their cocoons now, for it was June again and the annual crop of mulberry leaves in the valleys beneath were well-nigh exhausted. Therefore Assunta Marzelli, the old' bibliophile's housekeeper, made holi- day with his, niece, bow upon a visit' i 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- atr.nta stayed a while. The lake below was now reduced to a cup of liquid jade over which shot] streamers ofliht into the mountain Tntadn shadows at its brink; but there were vessels floating on the waters that Yield the watchers' eyes.

People who do not anticipate with pleasure the thud when they will fur- nish their own homes are, to say the least, lacking in mental poise. Men this occasion does occur it must be borne in ]rind that It is not how much is chosen, but !now suitable for. the purpose. T•hke time in select- ing and do not purchase. too many pieces of furniture, notwithstanding the advice of so-called experts, whose main 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 relnement and homelikeness can only be obtained by leaving' open and clear floor spaces and should be studied with as much care 'as the furni- ture itself, ' Try to show. your personality In ar- ranging your furniture. For instance, why inevitably plaee the dining -table in 1» middle of. the room? . Why not place: it against the Wal alongside' a window where you may have a' feast for the eyes as wen as for the inner man? • Again, make up your mind what fur. nitatre you really require before you purchase. Make a rough plan of the room and carefully indicate on It the position ,of the doors, fireplace and !other unalterable details, Then plc Ion it the size of the furniture suitable 1 and in the obviously best locations, and endeavor to visua,l'ize ,!lie room as ilou'woltis like to see it funnisbed. Buy only what you know is goof! design land make, anal add from time to time las you can afford, rather than purchase mach poor stuff.

As the .concert was only a, fe*days. distant, Mrs. Nevin's brother-in-law good naturedly wagered.a dinner, that the new song couldn't be mes.tered in time. Nevin playfully accepted the challenge and for the remainder of that week diligently rehearsed Rogers.
