He made me send Doria out of.ear- shot and then told me that be had only come here to see you. He has been here some days, hidden in one of the caves down the coast westward.' "And still you say he behaved like a sane man, Mrs. Pendean?" asked Brendon. "Yes -except for what seemed an insane fear. I implored hint to come with me in the 'boat and see Uncle Bendigo and trust to the mercy of his fellow men. But he is very' suspicious. He thanked me and groveled horribly to me; but he would not trust either me or Doria, or think' of entering the boat. "I asked him {hen to .t . me"zvba} e wished and how I could help him. He considered and said that if Uncle Bendigo would see him quite alone and swear, before"God, not to hinder his departure in any way after they had met, he would some to `Crow's Nest' to -night after- the household was asleep, "For the moment he. wants food and a lamp' to light his hiding -place after dark.

"You are wise and T quite agree with you," said Mark. "No doubt Doria is a man you can rely upon in every way and he is powerful too." But Bendigo shook his head. "No," he answered. "-I've left this question until Doria and my niece were out of the way for a very good reason. I. don't want them in this thing any more than they are already. What I want up there is you and only you. Brendon considered. "I confess the idea occurred to me as soon as we had your brother's offer; but seeing the terms, I couldn't press for it," he said. "Now I 'agree and, what's more, I think it would be very desirable if nobody—not even the household—knew I was here." "That can . be done.

Bat it's up to her, I reckon, not me. She's gone her own way since she was a nipper—got her father's will hid under her woman's shape" "Our Italian' ray is to approach the parents of the loved one," explained Doria. "To win you is to be far on my way, for you stand to her in the place of parent. Is it not so? She cannot live alone. She was not meant by God to be a single woman, or a wid- ow woman." "But what about your ambitions— to wed an heiress and claim the title and the territory of your vanished forbears?" Doria swept his hands to right and left with a great gesture, as though. feasting away his former hopes. "It is fate," he said. "I planned my life without love. I had never loved and never wanted to. Now I do not want the rich woman but only she who wakens my passion, adoration, worship, Life has nothing in it but Madonna—English Jenny." "We can stow the subject for six months anyhow," replied Bendigo, lighting his long clay. "I suppose, in your country as well as mine, there's. a right and a wrong way to approach a woman; and seeing my girl's a widow—made so under peculiaziy sad circumstances—you'll understand that love talk is out of the question for a good bit yet a while." "It is too true," answered the other. "Trust me. I will hide my soul and be exquisitely cautious. Her sorrow shall be respected—from no selfish mo- tive only, but because I am- a gentle- man, as you remind me." He was gone and for a moment only the hurtle of the rain on the ground windows of the tower room broke the silence; then Brendon emerged from his hiding -place and "'stretched his limbs.

One of the larger • lumber companies featuring this design in a plan book state that Ir the plan has been a tremendous suc- }eess -many homes havingbeen s built b z t !from it.• But the reputation of .the architect and:'the oast are not the only reasons for such popularity. There are many others. Few homes•. possessing individuality of deign are to be found on lots i nnder forty or fifty feet wide; how-; ever here is a'deciided artistic exemp- tion. The outside width is $2 ft. 6 in., which makes it suitable far a thirty- five foot lot or even two or three feet less. A minimun•.allowanee of eight feet should be made for the driveway at the left and two, preferably three feet, for overhand.of eaves and clear- ance at the other side.

"That's all right," he said. "I'm considering what follows. Your bro- ther goes free presently; and no doubt Mrs. Pendean will only wait until he is off to come up to you. I can't stop all night in the cupboard." "It don't matter a button after he's gone," answered Bendigo. "If you tell your car to go, that's all that signifies for the minute. And all anybody but ourselves will believe is that you've gone back to Dartmouth, and won't be here again until to -morrow morning." Brendon approved of this plan and when the launch returned, her uncle informed Jenny that the detective had left, to make certain inquiries, but would return early on the following morning. "We left the letter, the lamp, h a p, ,and the food and .drink exactly 'Where he • indicated" Jenny said "on a forlorn Spot, above. that ancient, raised beach, f . where the great boulders are."

"I was going the rounds andjust about to turn out the oil lamp over the front gate as usual when remem- bered Mr. Redmayne.' That is half an hour ago and I thought it would be. better to leave the lamp, to guide him, for the night is dark and wild.
