NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XIX. A LEGACY Fon-r'ETErr GANNS. If at any time I entertained one shadew of regret in the execution of those who had trnduoed me and so earned their destruction, it was after wo had dwelt for a season with Albert Redmayne beside Como, But Jenny swiftly laughed me out of these emo- tions. "Keep" your tenderness end senti- ment for me," she said. "I will not Share then" We might have killed Albert a thou- sand times and left no sign --et fact that brings me to that part of my xeciLal I most deplore. Nevertheless, though things difiicua and dangerous wo had triumphantly achieved, before this task for a child we failed; and the reason for our col- lapse Was not in Jenny but in me. Had I listened to my austere partner I should have waited only until she had searched for and found her uncle's will. This she did; and as the instru- ment peeved entirely satisfactory, my duty was then to proceed about . our tiusiness. Only an artist's fond pride Intervened; nothing hut my vanity. my consciousness of power to excel, upset the rightful climax. We were, indeed, both artists, but how incomparably the greater she! Had she won her way with me, we should be living now to enjoy the fruits of our accomplish- ment. But though she did not win her way, yet, in defeat, her final, glorious deed was to intercept the death intend- ed for me. that I might still live. Loyal to the last, she sacrificed her- self, forgetting, in that supreme mo- ment, how life for me without her could possess no shadow of compen- sation. My wife's deeper sanity and dearer vision always inclined her to distrust our American acquantance, Peter Ganns. Ganns is a great man on his own pane. But, though he is a greedy creature who digs his grave with his knife and fork, though his habit of physic and present a forgery of "Rob- ert Redmayne" .ill the evening dusk— was altogether 'admirable. The 'thing came in a manner so sudden and un- expected that I faiieel of a perfect riposte. • It was Jenny, of course, who had assisted me to dig Marco's grave on Griante and who shared my disap- pointment when we found that Bren- don had escaped my revolver, While Jenny related her sufferings and made appeal to her listener's overmastering devotion, I left the house and Brendon saw me go. To get ells •o might cross to B a boa that I gr , t, was the work of ten minutes. A black beard was all the disguise I used, save that I had left my coat in the boat and appeared before Redmayne in shirt sleeves. With trembling accents I related to Assunta, who of course knew life not, that Poggi was taken fatally ill and might hardly hope to last an hour. It was enough. I returned to the boat and in three minutes Albert joined me and offered me untold gold to row as I had never rowed before.

As the day g 40 approached for his execution, extra -f 9eSentlr.v- ordinary precautions were taken, but Cx Pendean behaved with utmost re- straint, gave no trouble and made no threat.

Upon this fast night but one, Pen- dean retired as usual slid apparently slept for some hours with the bed- clothes up to his face. A warder sat on each side of him and a light was burning.

Farewell, Giuseppe Doris. • Ten days after Peter Gants had read this narrative and its sequet at his snug home outside Boston, there awaited him, upon his breakfast table; a little parcel from England. Some- thing anjt •ring challenged his aston- ished eyes. There came a long -.iter "See that goes to Peter Ganns—it is my legacy," he said. "And remem- ber that Mark Brendon is my heir." He then put a small object into the warders hand. At the same time he apparently suffered a tremendous physical convulsion, uttered one groan and leaped up into a sitting position. From this he fell forward unconscious. One attendant supported him and the other ran for the prison surgeon. But Pendean was already dead—poisoned with cyanide of potassium, You will remember two facts which might have thrown 'light upon his se- cret. The first was his accident in Italy as"a youth; the second your con - steed interest 1n a peculiar, inhuman quality of his expression which you were never able to understand. Both are now explained, He had, of course, a,secret receptacle upon his person be- yond human knowledge or power of discovery, for he says that only his mother knew of his accident. That accident was the loss of an eye. Be- hind an eye of glass that took its place lead lain concealed, urrtii he required it, the capsule of poison found crushed within hie mouth after death. What the published statents nst of this knave has done for hie you will guess. I art 'leaving the detastive ser- vice and have found other occupation. One can only seek to live down my awful experience. Next year my work will bring me to America and, when that happens, I shall be very glad to see you again should you permit me to do so net that we may speak of the past, with a:1 its futility end bitterness for me, but that we may ;ook forward, and that I may see all is well with you in your days of retirement, honor and ease.

Measurements Su°rissted by Ascertaining Pasta Sun and Other Heaven& Bodies. In an article in "Lo Matin" Charles. Nordinann, the well known saientifhc` writer, estimates the age or the sun and other stars at some tens of bil- lion of year and advances the theory that through examination of the uran- ium and radium present in a mineral its age pan be determined with some t.;aetl,tude." 1 --Ie says: • • "Just like their sisters of the thee - tree, the stars of the heavens do not remain forever young, and the secret of their ages is suet as closely kept, Some statistics task to prove that the stars are -tens of billions of years old, and it is still accepted theory that the planets are the issue of'the sun How to Judge Years. "The study of the radio -active min- erals permits one to ealeulate the earth's 'crust and we know that ora nilun is a radio -active body which dis- integrates little •by little err forming, different intermediate substances, in - chiding radium, The speed of these transformations is constant and well known. The weight of radio -lead pro- duced in a epaoe of 1,000,000 years in equal to an 8,000th part of the wtight of the uranium present. It is there- fore by determining the percentage of radio -lead and uranium present in a mineral that one will be able to know the age of thie mineral since its 0175 - ' 'By this means the ages of minerals have been found to vary between ears and 0 and 1,209,000,000 laao oay ver alreed cry s•tal- these minerals were y Y Jzed iu the earth's crust. The earth, if only as a planet, is therefore still more ancient. But that is not ell. Life already existed upon the earth at the Canibran epoch.

"During this period the sun has never been either three tines hotter nor three times colder than it is at present, for in the first instance it would have brought the ocean, up to boiling point, and in the second eaee the waters would have keen entirely frozen. Either the one or the other of these catastrophes would have been sufficient to put au end to evolution and earthly Ilfe. _ "As the father must be older than the child, then it follows that the sun is older than the earth. Considering that throughoutthe geological ages the sun's brilliance has probably not varied' by half, one. must conclude that the sun has existed since some tent of billions of years.
