'Anoth'er thing: Doria was the ser- vant of Bendigo Redmayne at the (DIEDMAES. 8Y EDEtt PHIL QrrS t►waTpwYtie Oy fi�jtftS,i,T7 E KTt6NI ,,, BEGIN HERE TO -DAY. 1 Michael Pendean, husband of Jenny, disappears and Robert Redmayne, uncle to Jenny, is suspected of murder. Mark Brendon, criminal investigator, is in charge of the case. Robert roams at large. Jenny goes to live with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne. Robert visits Bendigo's neighborhood and sends for his brother to .meet him in a nearby cave.' Giuseppe Doria takes his mas- ter to the meeting place and leaves the two brothers together. When Doria calls. for Bendigo he finds both men missing and evidence of a terrible struggle in the cave. Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle, Al- bert Redmayne lives. When Robert is seen in Italy Brendon and Peter Ganns, famous American detective, re- new investigations. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "None whatever. Doria is amazing- ly handsome and attractive—the type a.wonlan generally worships. I grant that Italo-English marriages are not remarkable for their success; but— well, no doubt. Jenny's husband is worldly wise. He has everything to gain by being good, everything to lose by behaving badly. Jenny is a proud girl. I hope to see mach of her, though it appears that their home will be in Turin." "He has abandoned his ambitions to recover the family estates and title and so forth? Brendon told me all about that." "Entirely. Besides it seems that one of your countrymen has secured the castle at Dolceacqua and bought the title too. Giuseppe was very enter- taining on the subject. But I'm afraid he doves idleness." Before luncheon Mark Brendon re- turned eturned front the hills with his guide. They had seen nothing of Robert .Red- ' mayne and appeared to be rather weary of one another's company. "You must impart your wisdom and gay spirit to Signor Marco," said r Giuseppe to Mr, Ganes, when Bren- don was out of earshot with Jenny. "He is a very dull dog and does not even listen when I talk. Not simpa- tico, I suppose. He will never find out anything. Will you, I wonder? Have you any ideas? A new broom sweeps clean, as you say." "A. very cute notion," declared Peter. "We'll rope you in, Giuseppe. Between you and the and the post, our friend Brendon has been barking up the wrong tree, you know. But if you and I and he, together, can't clean this up, then we're not the men I takeus for." Doria laughed. It vias not until after the midday meal that Ganns and Mark were able to get speech together. Then, prom- ising to return in time to meet Vir- gilio Poggi, who would cross the lake for tea, the two men sauntered beside Como and exchanged experiences. The interview proved painful to the youn- ger, for he found that Peter's doubts were cleared in certain directions. "Do you begin to see any light?" asked Mark. "Not much upon the main problem. A minor feature has cleared, how- ever. I know the rock you split upon, Spur dram Jnd Areafter dnek e That delicious flavor of fresh mint gives a new thrill to every bite.

And to be in love with one of the principals, in a case, is to handicap yourself out. of the hunt, as far as that case is concerned." "We know some things without proof and are proud to take them on. trust," answered Brendon. "Have I not seen Mrs. Doria under affliction and in situations unspeakably diffi- cult? She buried her own crushing grief—" "And in nine months was married to another man." "She is young and you have seen for yourself what her husband is. Who can tell what measures he took to win her?" "Well, I do not ask much; but since I have picked up this thing for Al- bert's sake, there's one point on which I insist. If you are going to take Jenny into your confidence and assume that she has no wish or desire other than to see justice done and the mys- tery cleared, then I can't work with you, Mark." "You wrong her, but that doesn't smatter, I suppose. What does mat- ter is that you wrong me," said Bren- don, with fierce eyes fixed upon the elder. "I've never thought or dreamed of confiding in her, or anybody else. I'nm a detective first and last and al- ways over this business; and I have some credit in my painful profession." "Good. Remember that, whatever. happens. And keep your temper with, me, too, because nothing is gained by losing it. I'm not saying a word against Mrs. Doria, but inasmuch as she is Mrs. Doria and inasmuch as Doria is as yet very much anunknown quantity to you and me, you must understand that I dont allow appear- ances to blind my eyes or control my actions. It looks all right; but sup- pose, for their owls ends, that Jenny Doria and her spouse want to create the impression that they are not friends?" "My God! What would you make of her?" "It isn't what I'd make of her. It's whht she really is. And that I'm go- ing to find out, because a great deal more may depend upon it than you appear to imagine." "A moment's reflection will surely corvine you that neither she nor Doria--" "Wait, wait! I'm only saying that we must not allow character, fancied or real, to dam any channel of investi- gation. Have you asked yourself why Bendigo Redmayne's diary is .miss- ing?" I have—and could not see how it was likely to contain anything danger- ous to Robert Redmayne." Peter did not enlighten him for the moment. Then he spoke and changed the subject. "I must find out several fundament- al facts and I certainly shall not learn them here," he said. "Next week in all probability, unless something un- expected happens to prevent it, I go back to England." "You want :me to look after Mr. Redmayne?" "No; I look after him. He's my first care. I haven't broke it to him yet; but he's going with me." Ganns considered and then pro- ceeded. roseeded. "I must give you a clear under- standing. I'm to used to playing a lone hand and saying nothing till I can say everything, that I may be tempted to treat you in a way you don't deserve. Now I'll tell you how. the cat's jumping. She's jumping in the dark—I'll allow that; but what I seem to see dimly is this: that Giu- seppe Doria knows a great deal more about the man in the red waistcoat than we do. "l.f Albert disappeared, you've got to remember that I)oria'e wife would be the worldly gainer. Why anybody should want to kill Albert to put money into Jenny'a pocket I cannot say. But it's a feature; and while I'm in England, I'll ask you to keep your eyes skinned and try and find. out as much about Giuseppe as you can." "You forget that he only came into this business at 'Crow's Nest"' "How can I forget what I don't know? Why do you say he only came into it at `Crew's Nest'? He may have come into it at Foggintor. Perhaps time." "And how do you know even so much?" Brendon showed i.nipa hence. "My ' dear Calms, that's common knowledge," "Common nothing! You can't swear he was the servant of Bendigo Red- mayne on the day that the murder was committed. To prove as much would entail an amount of solid re,. search that might surprise you. Of this crowd, only. Doria for certain knows when he joined up at 'Crow's Nest.' His wife may; or may not, know. I'm quite unprepared to take Giuseppe's word for the d'a'te." "That's why you wanted Bendigo Redmayne's log then?" "One of the reasons' certainly." Two days nater the book lover and Peter were taking a steamer for "STar- enna, whence they would entrain.for Milan and so return to England.. On the steamer stood Virgilio Poggi. He was come across the water to take leave of Mr, Redmayne and see hini as far as Varenna. The three men de- parted presently, leaving Mark, Jenny and her husband together. At Var- enna, Virgilio also took his leave. He was not content with embracing Al- bert but clasped Mr. Ganns also in an affectionate 'farewell. CHAPTER XIV. . REVOLVER AND PICKAXE. While Brendon entertained no of regard for Doria, his balanced mind allowed him to view the man with impartial justice. Giuseppe and his wife had planned to visit an acquaintance at Colics, to the northward of the lake; and before the steamer started, after noon, the Before luncheon Mark Brendon re- turned with his guide. two men took a stroll in the hills n mile above Menaggio. Brendon had asked for some priv-tte conversation and the other gladly agreed. "As you know, I'm going to spend the day in the red man's haunt," ex- plained Mark, "and I'll call at supper time since you wish it; but before you go, I'•11 ask you -to stroll along for an hour. I want to talk to you." "That will suit me very well," said the other, and in half an hour ho re- turned to Brendon, found hint chat- ting with Jenny in the dark portal of the silkworm house, and drew him away, "You will have speech with her to- night after supper," promised Giu- seppe. "Now it is my turn. We will ascend to the little shrine on the track above the orchards." Brendon opened the conversation and of course treated the other as, though no question' existed concern- ing his honesty. "What' do you think of this busi- ness?" he asked. "You have been pretty close to it for a long time now. You must have some theory:" "I have no theory at all," replied Doria. "My own affairs are enough for me and this cursed - mystery is thrusting a finger into my life and darkening 11. • I grow a very anxious and miserable man and I will tell you why, because you are understanding, You must not be angry if I now men- tion my wife in this affair."
