Jenny Pendean engages Mark Bretz

solve the mysterious disappearance o
her husband, Michael, from his hora

the company of Jenny's uncle: Robert
Redmayne, when the two visit Mich

Blood is found en the iloor of th
cottage and witnesses testify to hay
big seen Robert ride away on his mo -to
bicyole with a heavy sack behind th
saddle.
Jenny goes to live with her uncl
Bendigo Redmayne and Brendon visit
her there. Mark is introduced to Giu
seppe Doria, who works for Bendigo
Brendon falls in love with Jenny an
her uncle Bendigo tells him that h
fears that Dona is trying to win her
affections.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
"I appreciate the confidence and can
return A confidence," answered Bren-
don after a moment"election. "I do
admire' Mrs. Pendean. She is, of
course, amazingly beautiful, and she
has a gracious and ellarming nature
With such distinction of characteryou
may rest assured that nothing will
happen yet a -while. Your niece will
be faithful to her late husband's -mem-
ory for many a long month, if not for-
ever."
"I believe that," answered 13endigo.
"We can mark time, I don't doubt, till
the turn of the year or maybe longer.
But there it is: they are thrown to-
gether every day of their lives and,
though Jenny would hide it very care-
fully from me, and probably from her -
Belt also as far as she could, I guess
.A. few minutes later a gong sounded
from beneath and the two men •de-
scended to their meal. It was Giuseppe
Doria who did the talking while they
ate a substantial dinner.
He chattered on and after dinner
lighted another of his Tuscan cigars,
drank a liquor of some special brandy
Mr. Redmayne produced in honor of
Brendon, and then left them. -
They drank tea at five o'clock and
an hour later the detective went on his
way. A general invitation had been
extended to him and the old sailor
expressly declared that it would give
him pleasure to receive Mark as a
guest at any time. It was a sugges-
tion that tempted Brendon not a little.
The moon had risen as he pursued
his lonely road and it shone clear
through a gathering scud that threat-
ened soon to overwhelm thesilver
light. Clouds flew fast and, above
Brendon's head, telegraph wires hum,
need the song of a gathering storm.
The man's thoughts proceeded as ir-
regularly as the fitful and shouting
wind.
Still deep in thought Brendon
tramped on; and then, where the road
fell between a high bank to the wind-
ward side and a pine wood on the
other, he experienced one of the great-
est surprises that life had yet brought
him.
At a gate, which hung parallel with
the road and opened into the depth of
a copse behind, there stood Robert
Redmayne.
He appeared to recognize Mark, or
at any rate regard him as an enemy,
xor instantly he turned,' plunged into
the woods behind him, .and disap-
peared.
ay
ion this day of his chance visit, the
_ wanted man should suddenly reappear
o in the neighborhood of his brother's
f house. Yet collusion seemed impos-
e silale, for Mark had given no notice to
Bendigo Redmayne of his coming.
He swiftly determined that not
Jenny, or her Uncle Bendigo, or any-
body on earth should prevent him
from securing Robert Redmayne on
the following day if it come within his
power to do so.- Indeed he felt little
e doubt that this would happen. For
that night there was no hurry. He
e slept well after an unusual amount of
S exercise and emotion; and he rose late.
- He was` dressing at half past eight
' when. there came a chambermaid to
e the door.

"There's a gentleman must see you
this instant moment, please, sir," she
said. "He's by the name of Mr. Doria
and he comes from Captain Redmayne
out over at 'Crow's Nest.'"
Not sorry that his day's work might
novelle simplified, Mark bade the girl
surarnon .his visitor, and in two mine
elites Giuseppe. Doria appeared.
"So Robes!, Redmayne, the murderer
of Michael Pendean, has turned up?"
asked Brendan, finishing his shaving;
and Doria showed 'astonishment.
"Corpo di Baccol How did you know
that?" he asked.
"I saw him on my way home," re-
plied Mark. "I bad already seen him,
/ /
There stood Robert Redmayne.
before the tragedy on Dartmoor, and
I remembered him. What is more, Pm
not sure that he didn't remember me."
"We are in fear," continued Doria.
"He has not been yet to his brother,
but he is near."
"How can you tell that he is near,
if he has not yet been to his brother?"
"Thus we know it. I go every
morning early to Strete Farm on the
hills above us for milk and butter. I
go this morning and they have an ugly
stery. Last night a man entered
Strete Farm and took food and drink.
The farmer hears him and comes npon
him sitting eating in the kitchen—a
big man with a red head and a red
moustache and a red waistcoat. The
man, when he sees Mr. Brook—that is
the farmer—he bolts through the back
kitchen by which he has come. • Mr.
Brook knows nothing of the man and
he tells me a his adventure, and then
I go home to tell padron
master.
"When 1 describe this man, Mr.
Redmayne and Madoena nearly have
a ht between them. They recognize
hini—he is the assassin! They think
instantly of you and bid me take my
bicycle and ride here at my best speed.
to catch you, if it may be done before
you go."
13y nine o'clock the Italian • had
started homeward, and as soon as he
was gone, Brendon event to the police
station, borrowed a revolver and a
pair of hatelcaffss hinted at his bug -
nese, and ordered a police car to, be
ready as quickly as possible, A con-
stable drove him and before setting
out he told the local dhief of police,
ote Inspector Damarell, to await a
message over the 'telephone in the
course of the mothing. He enjoined
strictest secrecy for the present.• -
Mark, who had studied Mr. Red-
mayne's large goy -eminent ettvey map
of the district, suggested an immediate
search over the most likely regions in
the neighborhood.
Ile inclined to the belief that, the
hunted man might !sooner trust the
Woods than the coast,.
"If lidra, Pendean doesn't Mind the l'aolfie Coast-

Dolga prepared for the coining VOy-
age of discovery and, within hell' an
how, the Motor boat danced out from
beneath "Crow's Nest". After they
had gone, Bendigo, in a sailor's pea -

big black -thorn stick, and set off be -
the road and, beth entering it, they

still talked of his niece and
continued to do so, It was a subject
on which the other proved very willing
to listen.
"She's at the parting of the -ways
now," declared Jenny's uncle, "I can
see her mind working. I grant she
loved her husband dearly enough and
he made a pretty deep mark on her
character, for she's different from
what she was as a girl."
Mark asked a questiot.
"When yeti- says:that her husband
altered his wife's character, in whet
way did he do so?"
tahglit her sense, I reck-
on. You'd never think now, would
you, that she was a red Redmayne—
one of us—short of temper, peppery,
fiery? But she was, as a youngster.
Her father had the Redmayne quali-
ties more developed 'than any of us
and he handed 'em down. She was a
vellful thing—plucky and lend of mis-
chief. That was the girl I reniember-
ed when Jenny came back to me a
widow. And so I see that Michael
Pendean, what ever else he was, evi-
dently had the trick character to
learn her a bit of sense and patience."
They tramped the wood *and fell in
with a gamekeeper, who greeted the
trespe:ssers none too amiably. But on
learning their errand and receiving a
• description of the fugitive, he bade
them go where they pleased and him-
self promised to keep a sharp watch.
Their hunt produced neither sign
nor due of the man they sought, and
ifter three hours of sleady tramping,
they returned in the motor mit to
"Crow's Nest."
News of direct importance awaited
them. Jenny had not only seen Robert
Redmayne, but had reached him; and
she returned very distressed -and sonae-
what hysterical, while Doria, having
done great things in the matter, was
prepared to brag about them.
"We saw him," said Jenny, "about
two miles down the coast, sitting not
fifty yards from the sea. - Then 'Giu-
se.e su seeding "d so
proaching him. Thethingwas to let
me reach him, if possible.
"We ran by, as though we had not
observed him eethen, getting round a
little bluff, so that we Were hidden,
we went ashore, made fast the boat,
and regularly stalked him. The poor
wretch saw us and leaped up, but it
was too late and Giuseppe reached hira
in a moment and explained that I
came as a friend. Doria was prepared
to detain him if he endeavored to
escape, but he did not."
"Is he sane?" asked Bendigo.

A. scheme fa exploit the vatuable

A rich stratum of gypsum has been
digeovered in the Jordan Valley; phos-
phate of lime in Judea; peat in the
marshes of Iltach; and petreleum beda
between 'i-arnault and the Dead Sea.
This ancient inland sea — under

wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
:Leine a part of the deepest chasm on
earth: bellig approximately 680ft. be.
low sea- level, It receives from the'
river Joselari and other streams that
flow into it about 6,000,000 gallons of
water a day.
The sea contains 24 per cent. of salt
and, in consequence, is so buoyant that
a person can float on its, surface with
out exertion of any kind. Fish, be-
cause of the amount et chloride and
bromide of magnesia, cannot live in
it,s waters: Ships of any kind are
rarely seen, and at one time there was
a belief—partly ening to the ancient
superstition coacerning Sodom and
Gomorrah, and partly to thefactthat
there ie no bird life in ;the vicinity—
that even the air around the great
lake was poisonous.
• Investigatorsehave refuted the le-
gend that the sea covet% the Cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah, but there are
people who claim to see in its depths
the -remains or ancient palaces; aud
a pillar that stands beside a rock of
pure salt five miles long and 300ft,
high is still believed by mauy to be the
remains of Lot's wife
Several attempts to' explore the
Dead Sea have been made during the
last century, the mest succeseful being
that of Commander W JP, Lynda who,
in April, 1847, thoroughly explored the
•whole of tbe area. Later seieneitie

Canadian Banks In Better
Position ToServe Public
One of the inoat, complete fuut authoritative statements enes sub-
mitted regarding the'Oanadian liank*g temarid the eieesent banking,
sittiatiaii was made by a D. Neill, General Manager of The Royal Bank,
of Canada, at the annual meeting. Mr. Neill said „in.pert:
, "Through emalgemation, the number of banks in Canada luta been,
slowly redneed until the present situation is analogous to the eondition
existing in Great Ell -Min, where the great bunt of the banking assets of
the country is in the hands of five I•arge banito.;, Fearshave been ex-
pressed that the cencentratten of bankinggpoWde la the needs of com-
paratively few instientions maylead to bad results, such as, slatelreeing
or compeation or neglect of local intereete. ''rhe feeling in regard to com-
petition eeemsto have had its inception in the fear of what may happen
• e in the future, rather than as a result of developments to" --date; for ao one
can say that the eompetition between banke teless severe than it has been
in the past. We believe that: the oontrary 4s !the case and that a large !
proportion of the saviugs affected though amalgamations have been
Paeseed on to the public in the form of increased service and relatively
lower charges.
"The merits of branch banking as, compered with a, system of µnit
banks are a subject of debate in the United States to -day, and,oppoa•ents
of branch, banking have stressed the advantage to local interestsof hav-
ing their banking business in the hands of itacal institutkins, which are
claimed, to be more Intimately in touch with oonditio.ns at the peintsn-
cerned. For Canada, however, the arguments in favor of branch banking
are, in rey °pinkie imme,asueahly stronger than anything which can be
staid an the other side. In the development- of new distriets in this
country the ueeeseary funds tave been supplied from alder districts, and
at much lower average ratee than those cu-rrent in the United 'States aff
