BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
Mark Brendon, famous criminal in-
vestigator, is trying to solve for Jenny
Pendean the mystery of •the disap-
pearance of her husband, Michael.
Pendean is last seen in the company
<tf Jemiy's uncle, Robert Redmayne,
when the two visit a bungalow being
erected by Michael near Foggintor
Quarry,
Blood is found on the cottage floor
and witnesses testify to having seen
Robert ride away on his motor bi-
cycle with a heavy sack behind the
saddle.
Jenny goes to live with her uncle,
Bendigo Redmayne, and Brendon vis-
its her there. ?dark meets Giuseppe
Doria, who works for Bendigo. On the
road leading to his hotel, Mark sees
Robert Redmayne but fails to capture
him. Jenny and Doria find Robert.
and arrange fur him to meet Bendigo.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Bendigo spoke, not to Doria, but to
the man in hiding.
"Come right out, Brendon," he said.
"Tile game's up fur to -night."
Mark emerged and Giuseppe gazed
in astonishment.
"Corpo di Barco!" he swore.
"Then you heard my confidences.
You are a sneak!"
"Stow that," cried Bendigo. "Bret -
don's here because I wished it. Shall
I go out to the man, or has he gone?"
"I am a servant for the moment
and my duty is to Mr. Redmayne,"
Doria answered. "This is the mes-
sage that I have been told to bring.
He is hiding now near the place where
Mrs. Pendean and I found him, in a
cave beside the sea. It opens upon
the water and it can be approached by
boat, But there is a way also inside,
that enables him to creep down into
the cave from the cliffs behind it. FIe

comes. to -morrow night after twelve
o'clock. Ile will light his lamp in the
nave, and when the light is seen from
the launch, you will put in and come
to him."
Bendigo turned to Brendon,

`Pull yourself together and help me
if you can," said Brendon,`,
tWhered'oee this'place lead?'?'
"There are many shallow steps, then
along slope and,'affer 'that, you have
to bend your head' and scramble out
through a hole. You are then on a
plateau .halfway up the cliff."
Lamenting the loss of time, Mark
lent a hand and the launch was soon
above high-water mark. Their, with
Brendon in front and the light from
his torch upon the steps, they began
their ascent. Save for a drop of
blood here and there, the stone stair-
way gave no clue; but when they had
reachedits summit and the subterran-
ean path turned to the left, still in a
tunnel of the solid rack, they marked
an the ascending slope, slippery with
percolationsfroma roof, a straight

smear dragged over the, muddy sur-
face.
For the last ten yards of the tunnel
Mark had to go on his knees ,and crawl.
Then he emerged and found himself
in the open air on a shelf hung high
between the earth and the sea..
Here Brendon saw evidences that
the dead weight dragged from beneath
had remained still a while.
"Where is thepath from here?"
;Mark asked, and Doria, proceeding
cautiously to the east of the plateau,
presently -indicated a rocky footpath
that ascended from it.
Brendon desired ta be at Dartmouth
as swiftly as possible, so that a search
might be instituted at dawn. Doria'
considered whether he might make
best speed by road or water, and de-
cided htat he could• bring Mark more
quickly to the seaport in the launch
than along the highway.
Brendon agreed and they descended
the zig-zag path and then, from the ,,Then heard myconfidences. You'

thern beneath' Extinguishing •-
steadfastly as men might work.. Then
their fruitless task was done.
The entrance of "Crow's Nest"
opened upon the highroad which took
the pollee back to Dartmouth, and
here Brendon delayed the car and des-
cended alone down the coomb to the
house. ` Mark inquired for Jenny of
the frightened maid.
"Ask Mrs. Pendean if she can see
me' a moment," he said, and the woman
left him to ascertain, But Brendon
was disappointed. Jennly,_sent word
that she could not see him to -day and
hoped he would take occasion to cal
on the following morning, when h
would find her more composed.
A surprise and a keen disappoint
trent awaited them at Dartmouth. The

Then began a laborioushuntin the
cave and the tunnel by which' it was
'approached from above., Morningjight
filled the hollow place and the officers
working methodically left no cranny
unexplored; but their combined ef-
forts by daylight revealed little more
than Brendon had already found for
himself in the darkness, Inspector
Damarellreturned to the steam launch
and bade the skipper go back to Dart-
mouth.
"We'll
art-mouth."We'll ride home by motor from
above,"' he, said.
The launch was off and once more
the chimney with the steps, the inclin-
ed plane beyond, and the plateau half-
way up the cliff were all examined
, with patient scrutiny.
For hours, until dusk began to
deepen on the precipices_ above them,
the men worked as skillfully and
e cav
the lamp, which still burned steadily,
they were soon afloat.
Brendon directed Doria how to act.
!`Tell Mrs. Pendean and the servant
to lock up the house and then join us,"
he said.
Doria obeyed and in ten minutes re-
turned with Jenny, dazed and pale,
and- the frightened domestic still
fumbling at, her bodice buttons.
' Doria's work wale now done and,
having directed him to take the women
back, Mark bade them all keep the
then.
"Trust inc. It's quite understood In half an hour the news had
that nothing shall be done now until spread, search parties set out by land,
you have seen him and reported. It and Brendon himself, with Inspector
may not be regular, but common hu-
manity suggests that."
With morning Bendigo proved
grumpy and desirous to be left alone.
He cainne down to luncheon and,
after that meal, Doris conveyed Bree-
don in the launch to Dartmouth, where
Mark visited the police station and ex-
plained the need for further delay. He
telephoned to Scotland Yard and pres-
ently returned to "Crow's Nest."
Doria landed Brendon and then put
off again, going slowly down the coast.
The night came at last—very dark
overhead but clear and calm. The
tide was just making and midnight
had struck when Bendigo Redmayne,
in rough -weather kit, stumped down
his long flight of steps and went to
sea. Brendon and Jenny stood above
under the flagstaff.
Anon they saw the flash of a ruby
and an emerald upon the sea westward
and soon heard Redmayne's motor
boat returning. Less' than half -an hour
had passed. Only Giuseppe Doria
ascended the steps and he had little
to tell.
"They didn't want Me yet, so 1 ran
back," he said.
"They went back into the cave to-
gether and I am to return within an
hour."
Doria smoked some cigarettes and
then descended again. Jenny bade
Mark good night and retired.
"CHAPTER VIII.
DEATH IN TILE CAVE,'
Alone, Brendon regarded the future
with some melancholy. Indeed, he
knew that h the long run such a
cheerful and versatile soul as Giuseppe
was more likely to satisfy Jenny than
he.
The return of the motor boat ar-
rested his reflections.
But Doria once more came back to
"Crow's Nest" alone.
"After the time was up, I ran in,"
he said. "The cave was empty. Now.
I am a good deal alarmed and I come
back to you."
Much puzzled, Brendon delayed only
to get hisrevolverand an electric.
torch. He then descended with Doria
to the water and they were soon afloat
again. The launch grounded her prow
on a little beach before the entrance
of Robert Redmayne's hiding -place.
Both men landed and Giuseppe
inacle fast the launch. Then immedi-
ate evidence of tragedy confronted
them. The lamp stood on a ledge and
flung a radius of light over the floor
beneath. Herr had been collected the
food and drink supplied to Redmayne
on the previous day, and it was clear
that he had eaten and drunk heartily.
But the arresting fact appeared on the
beaten and broken surface of the
ground. Heavy hoots had torn this up
and plowed furrows in it, At one
spot lay an impression, as though
some large object had fallen, and here
Brendon saw blood—a dark patch al-
ready drying, for the substance of it
was soaked away in the sandy shingle
on which it had dropped.

distressed but calm. She had tele-

She was very nervous, desiring to
leave the lonely habitation on the cliffs
as .quickly as possible; but she intend-
ed to await Albert Redmayne's de-

EXPERIMENTAL ' . STAGE
PASSING IN CANADA.'
About 47,700 Square Miles of
Territory Successfully _Photo-
- graphed Last Season.
The season wbioh has just closed
has added another milestone to mark
the rapid progressmade in Canada in
applying aerial photography In a epee.
tical and economical manner as all aid
to the development of the natural re
sources: of the country. So marked
had thio progress been that, while ex-
perimental work is still necessary to -
further advance this new science,
aerial photography has now reacived a
stage .where it is playing a very de-
finite part in increasing the efficiency
of all investigations of these resources,
at the same time enabling much larger,
areas to be covered. During the past
season alone approximately • 47,700 .
square miles have been- euccessfally
'photograp'hed. This large amount ot.
work \vas accomplished by the'close •
co-operation of the Royal Canadian Air
Force and the Topographical Survey
Department of the Interior.,. -'
In patrolling the forests to discover
and check the numerous, tires which
annually clo so much damage the aero-
plane has supplemented, in some-dis-- :_
Wets, the previous inadequate meth-
ods of ground patrol. Maps nntelt be
provided for the guidance of the aero- .
planes on these patrols and for the de-
velopment of the resources in those
unmapped areas of which SO little is
knawn and which, cover a very large
part of Canada, Many of theses areas
are heavily for.eeted, many present
geological formations favorable to the
location of va1'uable ore deposits, and
other's , contain undeveloped water -
powers of great potential value, and .
lakes and rivers well supplied with
rsll.
Air Method Cheaper:
Mapping and investigating these
regions ,by ground methods, 'alone is
more expensive and much less accu-
rate than by air, a great drawback to-
ward their proper development. This
is where the plane has been pressed
into service in this country with such
success.
The operations during the season
were carried on in various parts of ,
Canada form air bases already estab-
lished. The bulk of the Work per-
formed Was; however, looakel in Mani-
toba and western Ontario, where 37,-
700
7;700 square utiles of forested and min-
eralizel areas were photographed.
These operations were carried out in
co-operation with the Dominion Forest
Service from the Victoria Beach Air
Station which *as established four
years ago principally for fire patrol
.purposes.
The first operation from this base
included the mapping of some 4,000
square miles in the vicinity of the sum-
mer resort of Minairi, the mineral dis-
trict of Red Lake, and Lao Saul. Less
than 40 hours. flying were required for
this work, with a surveyor acting as
nitvigator. The resulting map, which
will be issued in the course of a few
months, will show hundreds of addi-
tional lakes, every bay and curve in
the shore line, every is:and, all the
timbered' and burnt areas, swamps,
reek exposures, and other related fea-
tures. Such traps are of vital import -
mice to theprospector, the tourist, the
forester, the geologist, and the water-
power engineer. Similar mails are be-
ing produced of the areas lying east of
lake Winnipeg and it Is expected they
will be issued before the opening of
next season. •
Many Photographs.
In New Brunswick, an area of 225.
square miles was photographed in the
Frederieton district for the Provincial
Forestry Service. in Quebec, about
400 square mimes were photographed:. -
in the Sorel and Shawinigan' districts,
and protogsrapirs were . taken 0± the
town of St. Johns. In Ontario the
Rideau canal, the Rideau lakes, and
part of the Muskoka area. ..were suc-
cessfully photographed, In Manitoba,
in addition to the areas previously
mentioned,, a section of The Pas min-
eral district was photographed as well
as the Hudson Bay railway, Further
views were taken in northern Sas'
katchewan and, Alberta of forested
areas.
Coincident with this work experiments
