"No doubt Dario can be trusted to see sharply after her. Meantime we will quarter the wood. If we could only get into touch with the man, it might be possible to' secure him without making any noise., Doria prepared for the coming voy- age of discovery and, within half an how, the motor boat danced but from beneath "Crow's Nest." After they had goneBendigo, in a sailor's pea - jacket and cap, lighted a pipe, took a big black -thorn stick, and set off be- side 'Mark. The police car still stood. on the road and, both entering it, they soon reached the gate beside which Robert Redmayne had appeared on the previous night. There they left the. motor and entered Black Woods :to- gether, Bendigo 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. ,1 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 question. "When you say that her husband altered his wife's character, in what way did he do so?" "Well—he taught her sense, I reck- on. eckon. 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 wilful thing—plucky and fond of mis- chief. That was the girl I remember- ed when Jenny carne 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 trespassers 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 clue of the man they sought, and after three hours of steady tramping, they returned in the motor car 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 some- 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 *m the sea. Then Giu- seppe sug ed landing, and proaching him. The thing was to et me reach him, if possible. "We ran by, as though we had not observed him; then, 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 him in a moment and explained that I came as a friend. Daria was prepared to detain him if he endeavored to escape, but he did not." "Is he sane?" asked Bendigo. (To be continued.) Plants as Weather Prophets.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "I appreciate the confidence and can return a confidence," answered Bren- dan after a moment's reflection. "I do admire Mrs. Pendean. She is, of course, amazingly beautiful, and she has a gracious and charming nature. With such distinction of character you 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 Bendigo, "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-, self also as far as she could, I guess i he's going to vin out." He was dressing at half past erg when there came a chambermaid to 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 now be simplified, Mark bade the girl summon his visitor, and in two min- utes Giuseppe Doria appeared. "So Robert Redmayne, the murderer of . Michael Pendean, has turned up?" asked Brendon, finishing his shaving; and Doria showed astonishment. "Corpo di Bacco! How did you know that?" he asked. "I saw hint on my way hone," re- plied Mark. "I had already seen him, ,'"''..,' Position To Serye Public A few minutes later a gong sounded from beneath and the two men de- scended to their meal. It was Giuseppe i 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 deelared that It would give � him pleasure to receive Marl', as 'a guest at any time. It was a sugges- tion that tempted Brendon not a little. There stood Robert Redmayne. The moon had risen as he pursued his lonely road and it shone clear through a gathering scud that threat- ened soon to overwhelm the silver light. Clouds flew fast and, above Brendon's head, telegraph wires hum- med the song of a gathering storm. The man's thoughts proceeded as ir- regularly as the fitful and shouting wind. Stili deep in thought Brendon• tramped on; and then, where the road i*el1 between a high bank to the wind- ward side and a pine wood on the ether, he experienced one of the great - pet surprises that life had yet brought hint. 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, tar instantly he turned, plunged into the woods behind him, and disap- peared. before the tragedy on Dartmoor, and I remembered him. What is more, I'm not sure that he didn't remember rte." "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 story. Last night a man entered Strete Farm and took food and. drink.. The farmer hears him and comes upon 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 of his adventure, and then I go home to tell padron mio--my master. "When I describe this man, Mr. Redmayne and Madonna nearly have a fit between them. They recognize him—be is the assassin! They think instantly of you and bid me take my bicycle and rifle here at my best speed to catch you, if it may be done before, you go."

This sudden apparition bewi'l'dered Brendon, for it argued much beyond itself. Surely it indicated treachery and falsehood among those he had just left at "Crow's Nest," for it was a coincidence almost inconceivable that AGENTS WANTD b MORNING FROCKS ADHERE TO STRAIGHT LINES.

One of the most complete and authoritative statements ever crib• nr;itted regarding the Canadian anrking system Ata;.nand, the present,b banking situation wee made by C. I0, , G of Canada., at the annual meetlmg, Mr. Neill said in part: "Through amalgamation, the naunber of batlike in Canada has been slowly reduced until the present situation is analogous to the condition existing in Great Britain, where the great bulk of the banking aerie'ts of the country ie in the hands ;of five large banks. Fears have been ex- pressed that the eoncen'tration of banking power in the handl, of eo'tn- paratl.vely few i'nstitution's may lead to bad results, such as slackening of competition or neglect of local i'nteres'ts. The feeling in regard tO com- petition seems to have had its inception in the fear of what may happen. in. tlio future, rather than as a. result of developments to date, for no one can say that the competition between banke 1st lose, sefera than it has been in the past. We believe that the contrary is the cases am'd that a large proportions of the sowings affected through amalgamations have been passed on to the public in the form of in'crett"sed;service and relatively lower charges. "The merits of bi'ancli banking as compared with a system of unit banks are a •subject of debate in the United States .to-day,•and opponents of branch banking have stressed the advantage to local interests of hav- ing their banklsig business in the. bands of local institutions, which are 0laimed. to be more' inhinla'tely.in toueh with eondatious at the points con- cerned. For Canada, however, the aagunuents in favor of branch banking are, in my opinion, immeasurable stronger than anything which can be ealil on the other side. . in the development of new districts in title country the neoessatiy funds lave been supplied frown older disitric•ts, and at much lower average rates than those current -in the United States at the same relative stage of development The. baianking hisitory of the United States, moreover, contains a long list of banks' which have failed, either through lack of propel• perspective during boom perlode, or because in d'is'tricts where everything depends on the success of one crop or one industry, the local banks had ail their eggs, in one basket.

A scheme to exploit the valuable mineral products that lie buried in the Dead Sea and in the soil of the Holy Land is in contemplation. A rich stratum of gypsum has been discovered in the Jordan Valley; phos- phate of lime in Judea; peat in the marshes of Hutch; and petroleum beds between 7"armuh and the Dead Sea. This ancient inland sea •-- under which, legend says, lie buried the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah --de a part of the deepest chasm on earth, being aiiproxim'atele 680ft, be- low sea level It receives from the river 1b•rdan and other stream's 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 Berson can float on its surface with- out exertion of any kind. Fish, be- cause of the amount of chloride and bromide of magnesia, cannot live in its waters. Ships of any kind are rarely seen, and at one time there was a belief—partly owing to the ancient swperetltion concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, and partly to the fact that there 16 no bird life in the vicinity— that even the air around the great lake was poisonous. Investigator's have refuted the le- gend that the sea eoveae the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, but there are people who claim to see in iia depths the remains of ancient pa'aeea; and a pillar that stands beside a rock of pulse salt five miles long and 800ft. high is -still believed by many to be the remains of Lot's wife. Several attempts to explore the Dead Sea have been inade during the last century, the most successful being that of Commander W. F. Lynch, who, in April, 1847, thoroughly explored the whole of the a.r'eo. Later scientific study was based upon. his observa- tions. • pair of handcuffs, hinted at his busi- ness, 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 chief of police, one Inspector Damarell, to await a message over the telephone in the course of the morning. He enjoined strictest secrecy for the present. Mark, who had studied Mr. Red- mayne's large government survey map of the district, suggested an immediate search over the most likely regions in the neighborhood. He inclined to the belief that the hunted man might sooner trust the woods than the coast. Watch. Your Walk. "I judge the character of an em- ployee by his stalk." ti Living Without Air!
