BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
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
my son. You were In love with Jenny
Pendean from the moment you knew
that she was a widow. And you're in
love with Jenny Doria now. And to
be in love with one of the principals
Brendon showed impatience.
"My dear Ganns, 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 so:id 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 date."
"That's why you wanted Bendigo
Redmayne's log then?"
"One of the reasons certainly."
Two days later the book lover and
Peter were taking .a steamer for Var-
enna, whence they would entrain for
Milan and so return to England.
On the steamer stood Virgilio Poggi.
Fie was come across the water to take
leave of Mr. Redmayne and see him 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

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 woman 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 much 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 loves idleness."
Before luncheon Mark Brendon re-
turned from 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
Giuseppe to Mr. Ganns, 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-
t' o I suppose He will never find out
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 Ark with
you, Mark."
"You wrong her, but that doesn't
matter, 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'm a detective first and last and al-
ways over this business; and I have
some credit'in my painful profession.'f
"Good. Remember that, whatever
happens. Axid 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 an unknown
quantity to you and me, you must
understand that I don't allow appear-
ances to blind my eyes or control my
actions. It looks all right; but sup-
pose, for their own ends, that Jenny
Doria and her spouse want to create
the impression that they are not
friends?"

of regard for Doria, his balanced
mind allowed him to view the man

Doria laughed.
It was 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 yours=
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.

ever. I know the rock you split upon,

appear to imagine."
"A moment's reflection will surely
convince 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?"
"1 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 ins to look
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."
Genus considered and then pro-
ceeded:

Before luncheon Mark Brendon re-
turned with his wide.
two men took a stroll in the hills a
mile above Menaggio. Brendon had
asked for some private 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'll 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 he re-
turned to Brendan, found him 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 it. 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."

There are•.many proofs In English
and Swedish museums' of the intimate
intercourse between Engand and
Scandinavia in early times, an inter-
course that has probably gone on unr
interruptedly for about 6,000 years.
It may bo conjectured that early Vik-
ings from the south of Sweden ven-
tured across the water and sailed up
the mouth of the Thames and found a
groy.e, which in Swedish is "hind," on
the banks of the river, where later on
the Roinan.Londlniam arose.
The invaders called the place
"Lund," from the Scandinavian "often -
fund," or sacred grove (says a writer
in "Notes and Queries"). The name
was later corrupted into "Load."
