Robert Redmayne, roaming at large,1 is suspected of the murder of Michael Pendeen, husband of Robert's mete; Jenny. Mark Brendon, famous crim- inal investigator, is is charge of the case. Jenny' goes to live with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne. Brendon sees Robert. in the woods near Bendigo's home but fails to cap- ture him. Robert sends t:ord to Ben- digo to come alone to a nearby cave' Giuseppe Doria, who works for Ben- digo, takes his master to the mooting place. When Doria goes to bring Ben- digo home he finds the cave empty and signs of a terrible struggle. Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Maly, where Jenny's uncle, Albert Redmayne, lives, Robert appear.; In the neighborhood of Albert's home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "What did you do?" "I made a fool of myself," confesaed Jenny `Assunta says that I cried out very loud and then toppled over and fainted. When I came round there was nothing to be seen." "The point is then: did Assunta see him also?" "That was the first thing I found out. 1 hoped she had not. That would have saved the situation in a way and proved it was only some pic- ture'of the mind. But she saw him clearly enough. She heard him, too.I When I cried out he leaped away into' the woods." Mr. Redmayne lighted a cigar which he took from a box on a little table by the open hearth. He drew several deep breaths before he spoke again, "This is a very disquieting circum- stance and I greatly wish it had not happened," he said. "There may be no cause for alarm; but, on the other hand, when we consider the disap- pearance of my brother Bendigo, I have a right to feel fear." "You must not stop here to -night," she said. "You must cross to Bellagio' and stay with Signor Poggi until we know more." "We shall see as to that. Prepare tea and leave me for half an hour to reflect" In half an hour Jenny returned with Mr. Redmayne's tea. "Providence ls, I think, upon our side, pretty one," he began, "for my i amazing friend, Peter Gann, who de- signed to visit me in September, has already arrived in England; and when he hears of this ugly sequel to the story I confided in his ears last win- ter, I am bold to believe that he 'will hasten to me immediatelly and not hesitate to modify his plans." "I'm sure ho will," declared Jenny. "Write me two letters," continued Albert. "One to Mr. Mark Brendon, the young detective from Scotland Yard, of whom I entertained a high opinion; and also write to your hus- band. Direct Brendon to approach Peter Ganns and beg them both to come to me as quickly as their affairs allow. Also bid Giuseppe to return to you immediately. He will serve to protect us, for he is fearless and resolute." But Jenny showed no joy at this suggestion. "I was to have had a peaceful month with you," she pouted, "So indeed I hoped; but it can hard- ly be peaceful now and I confess that the presence of Darin would go some way to compose my nerves. He is powerful, cheerful, and full of re- source. He is also brave" Jenny had left Doria for a time man rose, revealing a massive frame ITNEW tlpi• aTi1v. wide shoulders, and sturdy legs.' t "Glad to meet you, Mr, Brendon '`netee its Altte, Ol cold?etty samn FOR Ito •said in a genial vete Hien lie I 0 "' se aetse S -e? r u non: chock hands, took ort hts spectacles I Lznnzt>kl, n"-scoutrle sreeeOn VA Urs. and eat dawn again, f The \V. .1.

"He has left Venti- miglia and gone to Turin, where he. used to work and where he has many friends,' He has a project" Albeitspokeagain. "To -night I go across the water to Bellagio and you come with me. It is impossible that Robert should know we are there." • Jenny wrote the letters and posted them; then she packed for her uncle and herself. • A boatman quickly rowed them to the landing stage of Bellagio and they S0011 reached the dwelling of Albert's friend, who welcomed them with an equal pleasure of surprise and delight. Signor Poggi, a small, fat pian with a bald head, broad brow, and twink- ling eyes, grasped their hands and listened with wonder to the reason for their arrival. • At nine o'clock next morning Mr. Redmayne and Jenny were rowed home again, only to hear that no in- truder had broken upon the nightly peace of Villa Pianezzo. Nor did the day bring ary news. Once more they repaired to Bellagio before dark, and for three days lived. thus.. Then came a telegram front Turin to say that Doria was returning immediately to Como and might soon be expected via Milan; while on the morning that actually brought him to Menaggio, his wife received a brief letter from Mark Brendon, He had found Mr. Gains and the two -would set forth for Italy within a few days. The stout man rose, revealing a ma sive frame, wide shoulders and sturdy legs. Peter put on his spectacles and read slowly. Indeed Mark had never seen a fetter read so slowly before. At last the American spoke; "What about you? Can you go?" "Yes; I've appealed to my chief and got permission to pick this up again. My holiday's due and PI1 go to Italy instead of Scotland.

Mark Brendon received with mingl- ed emotions the long letter from Jenny Doria. It awaited him at New Scot- land Yard and, as he took it from the rack, his heart leaped before the well - remembered handwriting, She reminded Brendon of his good- will and declared how personally she should welcome him and feel safer and more sanguine for his companion- ship. She also contrived to let him know that she was not particularly happy. Brendon sought the famous Amer- ican and found his direction without difficulty. He had already visited New Scotland Yard, where he number- ed several acquaintances, and Mark learned that he was stopping at the Grand Hotel in Trafalgar Square. On sending in his name a messenger boy bade Brendon follow to the smoking room. Itis 'first glance, however, failed to indicate the great man. The smoking room was nearly empty on this June morning and Mark observed nobody but a young soldier, writing letters, and a white-haired, somewhat corpu- lent gentleman sitting with his back to the light reading the Times. He was clean shaved, with a heavy face modeled to suggest a rhinoceros. The features were large; the nose swollen and a little veined with purple, the eyes hidden behind owl -like spectacles with tortoise -shell rims, and the brow very broad, but not high, From it abundant white hair was brushed straight back, Brendon extended his glance else- where, but the messenger stopped, turned, and departed, while the stout .:x .rsak:,,,na ,,,yy,.r.,. ....: r ar : '55Oa 4' ' chid ,dice,, n _oily' D{n't Let Them Fo i'I YOU!

"Will you lunch with me here in the grillr•oo-m• at two &crock?" "With pleasure, MettGanns." Some hours later they met again and over a steak and gxeen peas Bren- don reported that the boat train left Victoria at eleven and that. the Rapids would start from Paris on the follow- ing morning at half past six. "We reach'Bevano some time alter noon next day," he said, "and can either go on ,to Milan and then come back to Coma and travel by boat to Menaggio, where Mr. Redmayne lives, or else leave the train at Bevano, take steamer on Maggiore, crass to Lugano; and cross again to Como. That way we land right at Menaggio, There's not much in it for time." "We'll' go that way, then, and I'll see the Lakes." Peter Gann spoke little while. he partook of a. light meal. He enjoyed the spectacle of Brendon's hearty ap- petite and bewailed his inability to join him in red meat and a pint of Burton. They entered the smoking room presently and then - Brencion, very much to his surprise, heard an aston- ishing lecture which left °him under the emotions of a fourth -form school- boy after an interview with his head- master.
