Then came the war and the sentence of death incidentally pronounced by that event upon the brothers Red- mayne. Their own folly and lack of -vision were alone responsible. I did not argue with them; it was enough that Jenny swiftly awakened to even a bitterer hatred and a deeper fury of resentment than myself. They had roused the sleeping tempest and our lightning now became only a question of time. • I evaded active service with a heart drug, as did some thousands of other intelligent Hien. I kept a whole skin, stopped at home and received for my share the Order of the British Em- pire instead of a nameless grave. It was easy enough. Meantime we volunteered and our record of service at Princetown Moss Depot is not to be assailed. Already my future intention was i. coloring my life. I grew a beard, wore grasses and pretended delicacy of con- stitution; for after the war was done' I intended murdering three teen, and I proposed to do so in such a planner' that society would find it impossible to emaciate me with the crimes. We pretended an affection for Dart- moor. As an example of our far- reaching methods I may relate how we returned to the wilderness after the war was done and actually began to build a bungalow upon it, which, needless to say, we never had the least intention of occupying. I had designed first to destroy Ben- digo and Albert Redmayne, who had never seen me, and finally deal with my old friend, Robert; but it was he who carne at the critical moment as a lamb to the slaughter and so inspired the superb conception now familiar to the civilized world. The time was ripe to pluck these men who had insulted and outraged. lie; and when Bendigo Redmayne ad - she transferred it into a red wig for a man.

Before noon 1 reached "Crow's Nest" and made acquaintencees with Bendigo Redn>ayne, But he had little leisure for me at this moment, for there had already come news from his niece of the mys- terious fatality on Dartmoor. Needless to say that my thoughts were now -entirely devoted to my wife and I longed for her first communica- tion. di)ur briefest separation caused, me pain, for our souls were as one and we had not been parted, save for my visit to Southampton, since our mar- riage day. It was her exquisite thought to in- volve the man from Scotland Yard. When I sought to destroy him on Griante and believed that I had done so, the man displayed an ingenuity for which I did not give him credit and unconsciously laid the foundation of subsequent •disaster. The letter which Bendigo Redmayne received and supposed had come from his brother at Plymouth, was poetod by Jenny on her journey to "Crow's Nest." We had written it together a week earlier and studied her uncle's indifferent penmanship very carefully before doing so. We proposed to let six months pass before the death of Bendigo Red- mayne, and we were already contem- plating details and considering how best to bring his brother back upon the stage for the purpose of Ben's de- struction, when Mark Brendon blue dered in upon us once again. 1 swiftly brought Robert Redmayne to life; and though, with more leisure for refinements, I should not have clothed him in his old attire, yet that crude detail possessed a value of its own and certainly served to deceive Brendon. Of subsequent events, most are so familiar that there is no need to re- trace them. • My tears fall when. I think of my incomparable Jenny 'and her astound- ing mastery of minutiae at "Crow's Nest"—her finesse and exquisite touch, her kittenlike delicacy, her cat -like swiftness and sureness. The two be-` ings involved were as children in her hands, Oh, precious phoenix of a wo- man, you and I were of the same spirit, kneaded into our clay! 1 say that accident made a radical alteration of design vital, for ,I had intended, on the night when Robert Redmayne would come and see Ben- digo, to murder the old sailor in his tower room and remove him before morning with my wife's assistance. But the victim pestponed his own de- struction, for upon the night that his death was intended, during niy pre- vious conversation with him touching; Jenny, I had perceived, by his clumsy glance; end evidence of anxiety, that somebody else was in the tower room --unseen. There was but one hiding, place and but one pian likely to occupy it. I did not indicate that I had discovered the secret and it was not the detective who gave himself away;• but, once alive to his presence, I swiftly marked a flash of light at one of the little ventilation holes in the cupboard and perceived that our sleuth stood hid within it. Having conveyed the old sailor to the cave, where, on my recent run up the coast after dropping Brendon, I had already looked in and lighted the lamp, I landed behind hili and, as his foot touched the shore, the pole -axe fell. He was dead in an instant and bungalow, I took a handbag contain- ing my costume as Giuseppe Doria---a plain, blue serge suit, coat, waistcoat and trousers and yachtsman's cap. I also carried a tool the little Instru- ment with which I murdered the three Redniaynes. It resembled the head of a butcher's pole -axe, of great .weight with the working end sharpened. I made it in a forgo at Southampton and it lies to -day under the waters of Como. My bag I had taken on pre- vious occasions to the quarry, with a bottle of whisky and glasses, so Robert thought it not strange that I should do so again. We started for Foggintor and it was still broad daylight when we got there. 'I had,. already studied the quarry and determined ' on Robert Redmayne'e l !resting place.
