"A funny little' thing happened yes- terday afternoon that I forgot," he said. "I'd turned in, leaving my note- book by my head, when there came a visitor to my room. I was asleep all right, but my heaviest sleep won't hold through the noise of a fly on the win- dowpane; and 'lying with my face to the door I heard a tiny sound and lift- ed one eyelid. The door opened and, Signor Doria put his nose in. Over he came as quiet as a spider, and I let him get within a yard.. Then I yawned and shifted. I•Ie was gone like a mos- quito, and half an hour later I heard him again. But I got up and he didn't do more than listen outside. He want- ed that book bad—you can guess how bad." For two days Mr. Genus declared that he must rest; and then there came an evening when he privately invited Doria to take a walk. "There's a few things I'd like to. put to you," he said. "You needn't let on to anybocia, else about it and we won't start together. You know my favorite stroll up the hill. Meet me at the corner—say seven o'clock." Giuseppe gladly agreed. They ascended the hill side by side and the elder invited. Doria's aid. "Between ourselves," he began,, "I am not too well pleased with the way this inquiry is panning out. In plain words there's some dope coming be- tween Mark and bis work, and I should like to hear what you think of him, you being an independent witness and a pretty shrewd cuss." "Marco is in love with my wife,"! answered Giuseppe calmly. "That is what's the matter with him. And, as I don't trust my wife in this affair and still believe that she knows more about the red man than anybody else, I think, as long as she hoodwinks Brendon, he will be no manner of use to you." Peter pretended to be much aston- ished. They proceeded slowly and Peter kept the ball of conversation rolling while he pretended to be very busy with his plans and projects. Then a very strange thing happen- ed. For there stood Robert Redmayne, his great, red head and huge mustache thrusting out of the gloom. He stared quite motionless. 1 -lis hands were by his sides; the stripes of his tweed jacket could be seen and the gilt but tons on the familiar red waistcoat. Doria started violently, then stiffen- ed. For a moment he failed to conceal his surprise and cast one look of evi- dent horror and amazement at the apparition. "What's wrong?" asked Peter, "Did you see him—right in the path Brendon demurred. "Remember, I'm not a stranger to him, Ganns. I saw and spoke with him by the pool in Foggintor Quarry before the mur- der."' What of it? You've never spoken with him since; and, what's more, you've never seen him since, either. You've seen a forgery. It was a forg- ery that looked at you on your way 'back to Dartmouth in the moonlight. It was a forgery that robbed the farm dor food and lived in the cave and cut Bendigo Redmayne's throat. It was a forgery that tried to shoot you and missed." Mx Genas took snuff again and continued. "Mind," concluded Peter, who bad Spoken without ceasing for nearly two hours, "I'm not saying that I am right. I'nr only saying that, wild though it sounds, it fits and makes a logical dory even though that story beats all experience. It might have happened; and if it didn't happen, then I'm damned if I know what did, or what is happening at this moment" Brendon delayed his answer and his fate was racked with many poignant emotions. "I can't believe it," he replied at length, in a voice which indicated the extent of his mental amazement and perturbation; "but I"shall nevertheless do exactly as you direct. That is well within my power and obviously my duty." "Good boy. And now we'll have something to eat. You've got it clear? The time is all important." Mark scanned his notebook in which he had made voluminous entries. Then ho nodded and shut it. Suddenly Mr. Game laughed.

For the night immediately following Doria's experience at the old shrine, Albert Redmayne and his friend, Vir- gilio Poggi, had accepted Mark Bren- don's invitation to dine at the Hotel Victoria, where he still stayed.
