r- BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
Michael Pendean disappears and
Robert Red'mayne, uncle to Michael's
wife, Jenny, is suspected of the mur-
der. Mark Brendon, criminal investi-
gator, has charge of the case.
Jenny goes to live with her uncle,
Bendigo Redmayne. Robert appears
near Bendigo's home and sends word
to 'Bendigo to meet him in a nearby
cave. Giuseppe Doria, who works for
Bendigo, • leaves his master at the
meeting place. When Doria calls to
bring Bendigo home he finds the cave
empty and signs of a terrible struggle.
Jenny inarries Doria and they go
to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle,
Albert Redmayne, lives. Robert is seen
in Italy and Albert sends for Brendon
and for Peter Ganns, famous Amer-
ican detective and dear friend to Al-
bert.
NOW GO ON WITH. THE STORY.
"You're a detective inspector of
Scotland Yard," continued Ganns,
"and Scotland Yard is still the high-
water mark of police organization in
the world. The Central Bureau in
New York is pretty close up, and I've
nothing but admiration for the French
and Italian Secret Services; but the
fact remains: The Yard is first; and
turned in early and slept till day-
break.
I3efore. noon they had left Battelle
on a steamer and were crossing the
blue depths of Maggiore,
At Luino they left the steamer and
proceeded to Tresa.
They wound ever Lugano and came
In evening light to its northern'shore,
Then once more they took train, climb-
ed aloft, and fell at last to Menagglo
on Como's brink,
"Now," said Peter, "I guess we'll
leave our traps here and beat it to
Villa Pianezzo right away."
Within twenty minutes their one-
horse vehicle had reached Mr: Red-
mayne's modest home and they found
three persons just about to take an
evening meal. Simultaneously there
appeared Mr. Redmayne, his niece,
and Giuseppe Doria; and while Albert,
Italian fashion, embraced Mr. Ganns
and 'planted a kiss upon his cheek,
Jenny greeted Mark Brendon and he
looked once more into her eyes.
Doria Held back a little •while his
wife welcomed her uncle's friend; then
he came forward, declared his plea-
sure at meeting Mark again and his
belief that time would soon reveal the
truth and set a period to the sinister
story of the wanderer.
Mr. Redmayne was overjoyed at
seeing Ganns and quite forgot the
digo Redmayne or else he did not: But
we'll stick to the first proposition for
the moment. And the next question
you must ask yourself is this: 'Did
Robert Redmayne kill Michael Pen -
dean?' That's where your 'facts,' as
you call them, begin to sag a bit, my
son. There's only one sure and certain
way of knowing that a man is dead;
and that is by seeing his body and
convincing the law, by the testimony
of those who knew the man in life,
that the corpse belongs to him and no-
body else."
They chatted for half an hour and
Mr. Ganns attained his object, which
was to fling his companion back to
the beginning of the whole problem
that had brought them together.
"To -night, in the train," said Peter,
"I shall ask you to give me your ver-
sion of the case from the moment that
Mrs. Pendean invited you to take it
up."
CHAPTER XII.
PETER,TAICES THE HELM.
As the detectives traveled through

there. That's a big thing and You Brendon told his story with every de-
tail for the benefit of Mr. Ganns.
They chatted until the dawn, by
which time their train had reached
Paris, and an hour or two later they
were on their way to Italy.
Mr. Ganns had determined to cross
the Lakes and arrive unexpectedly at
Menaggio. He had now turned his
mind once more to the problem before
hien and spoke but little. He sat with
his notebook open and made an occas

thoughts.
He looked up presently.

He paused again, applied himself to• he said, "to get into touch with Robert

"Now see how reason bears on the costs of ghost, Mark; the real thing—
didn't get it without some work and
some luck, Brendon.
But now—this Redmayne racket. In
a word, your conduct of the affair
don't square with your reputation.
Your dope never cut any ice from the
start."
• Brendon did not hide his emotion,
but kept silence while Mr. Ganns
helped himself to a pinch of snuff.
"A great many of your 'cast-iron
facts' were rno facts at all."
"What were they then?"
"Elaborete and deliberate fictions,
rough, general idea of what more ie
known than Mark and I €tiready know,
Now what has happened since you,
wrote, Mrs, Doria?"
"Tell them, Giuseppe," directed Mr.
Redmayne.
"Your gift—the gold box—take a
pinch," said Peter holding out his
snuff to the .old bookworm; but the
master of 'Villa Pianezzo refused and
lighted a cigar.
"I will have smoke rather than dust,
my precious Peter," he said.
"The man has been seen twice since
you heard from my wife," begat
Doria. "Once I met him face to face
on the hill, Svhere I walked alone to
reflect on my own affairs; and once.

Happily Mr. Redmayne's room over-

are high, so he could not reach it; but
the bedroom of Mr. Redmayne's pian,
Ernesto, is upon the side that stands
up to the road.
"Robert Redmayne came at two
o'clock, flung pebbles at the'•hvindow,
wakened Ernesto, and demanded to be

After a cheerful meal Peter abso-

This home is planned particularly as
a farm home. For the accommodation
provided the square home with gable
roof is economical to build. Aside
from the virtue of economy, this par-
ticular example gives an iinpresslou of
prosperity, comfort and good taste. It
is well-proportioned and decidedly well
planned. The dimensions of this home
are only 26 feet by 26 feet, and yet it
contains four good-sized bedrooms
with ample closet space for each room,
a linen closet off the ball, sleeping bal.'
cony, and a bathroom on the seoand
floor; an attic space on the third floor
that may be finished for two more bed-
rooms; the ground floor has living -
large kitchen, help's bedroom
;.,
and closet, pantry and wash room.
Thes arrangement illustrates the new-
er ideas in house building in having a
large living room and combining the
dining room and kitchen In one large
room.
'Phe vestibule has a large coat closet!
opening off it, the stairway leads up
from a wide hall; the paxltry is large

of this home.
