Try SALAD/V. r -- BEGIN HERE TO -DAY, I Robert Redmayne, roaming at large. ie suspected of the murder of Michael l'endean, husband of Jenny, who, is niece to Robert. Mark Brendon,'crrm- ina'l investigator, is in charge of the case. Jenny goes to live with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne. Robert appears in the neighborhood and sends word to Bendigo to meet him in a nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria, who works for Ben- dip), endigo, takes his master to the meeting place. When Doria calls to bring Ben digo home he finds an empty cave in which is evidence of a struggle. Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle, Al- bert Redmayne, lives. When Robert is seen in Italy, Brendon and the famous American detective, Peter Geniis, - re- new investigations. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "On the contrary I want you both," he answered. "I 'attach very great weight to the hints you have given me. —not only for my sake but for your own. The end is not yet as far as you're concerned, Jenny, for your wel- fare is more to me than anything else in the world—you know it. Trust me to prove that presently. But other things come first,- I must do what I are hero to do, before I am free to do what I long to do." "I trust you—and only you," she said. "In all this bewilderment and misery, you are now the only stead- fast rock to which I can cling. Don't desert me, that's all I ask." "Never' All that's best in me shall be devoted to you, thankfully and proudly—now that you have wished it. Trust me, I say again. Call your husband. I want to tell you both what happened to inc yesterday." Again she hesitated and gazed in- tently upon him. "Are you sure that you are wise? Would Mr. Ganns like you to tell Doria anything?" "You will Fadg_ better when you have heard me." Again he longed to confide in her and show her that he understood the truth; but two considerations shut his mouth; the thought of Peter Canna and the reflection that the more Jenny knew, the greater might be her own peril. This last conviction inade hint conclude their conference. "Call him. We must not let him think that we have anything of a pri- vate nature to say to each other. It is vital, that he should not imagine such a thing." "You have secrets from me—though I have let you know my own secret," she murmured, preparing to obey hint. "If I keep anything from you, it is for your own good—for your own se- curity," he replied. She left him then and in a few mo- ments returned with her husband. He was full of curiosity and under his usual assumption of , cheerfulness. Brendon perceived considerable anx- iety. "An adventure, Signor Marco? I know that without you telling me. Your face is solemn as a raven and you walked stiffly as you came to the door. I saw you from the silk -works. What has happened?" "I've had a squeak of my life," re- land the American suddenly reappear- ed. They arrived at Menaggio after noon. Mr. Redfnayne was in the highest spirits and delighted to.be.home egelre lie knew nothing about Peter's opera- tions and cared less. IIis visit to England was spent at London, where he had renewed acquaintance with certain book collectors, seen and handled many precious things; and+ surprised and gratified himself to ob- serve his -own physical energies and enterprise. ' - He made a. good meal, and then, despite the long night In the train, in- eisted on sending for a' boat and cross- ing the water to Bellagio. "I have a, present for, my Poggi," he said, and I cannot sleep until I hear his since and hold his hand." Ernesto went for _ a watermanand soon a boat waited et the steps which descended from Mr. Redmayne's pri- vate,epartments to the lake. He row- ed away and Brendon, who had come to see Doria and found to his surprise that Redmayne and Peter Were back again, anticipated some private hours. with Mr. Ganns. But the traveler was weary and, after one of Assunta's fa- mous amous omelettes and three glasses of white wine, he declared that he must retire and sleep as long as nature ordained slumber. '"I'm exceedingly short of rest," he said. "Whether I have done the least good by my inquiries remains to be. seen. To be frank, I doubt it.. We'll have a talk to -morrow, Mark; and maybe Doria, will remember a thing or two that happened at 'Crow's Nest' and so help me. But until I have slept I am useless." On the following day it was Mr. Redmayne who found himself weary. Reaction came and he slept all that night and determined to keep his bed for twenty-four hours It seemed, however, that he was going to find oc- cupation for everybody. Ile directed Doria to visit Milan, on a mission to second-hand book sellers, and Jenny was sent to Varenna with a gift for an acquaintance. Brendon arrived at Villa Pianezzo just as the twain were starting on their missions, and he and Peter walk- ed to the landing stage With them and saw them departing in different steamers. They soon sat together on a shady seat .on the villa garden from which the entrance was visible, and Peter, bringing out his notebook, took a great pinch of snuff, set his gold box on a little table before him, and turned to Brendon. "You shoot first," he said; "there are three things I need to know. Have you seen the red man and what is your present opinion concerning Doria and his wife? Needn't ask if you found Bendigo's diary, because I am dead sure you did not." "I didn't. I directed Jenny to have a bunt and she invited me to help her, For the rest 1 have seen Robert Red- mayne, for we may safely speak of the . unknown by that name, and I have. come to a very definite conclusion con- cerning Giuseppe Doria and the un- fortunate woman who is at present -his wife." He nodded and Mark proceeded to tell his story, beginning with the ad- venture on the mountain. To this statement,Peter listened with the deepest attention and he did not disguise his satisfaction when Mark made an end. "There only remains to hear what you have to say on the subject of his pretty dame." "My opinion of a very wonderful and bravewoman remains unchang- ed," Brendon answered. "Well—so be it. I've heard you. Now you've got to hear me. We are up against a very marvelous perform- ance, Mark. This case has some of the finest features—some unique even in niy experience. rose.

You may have stumbled upon some of them, and knowing no Italian—" "It was Robert Redmayne who fired upon me and missed by a miracle." Jenny uttered an exclamation of fear. "Thank God!" she said under her breath. Brendon told the story in every de- tail and explained his own ruse. He related nothing but the truth—up to a certain paint; but beyond that he described events that had not, taken place. "having made the faked figures, ,I hid just before dusk fairly close to it intending, of course, to keep watch, for I was positive that the murderer, as he would suppose himself to be, must come back after dark to hide his. work.
