BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brenaon, famous criminal in▼eetigator. while taking holiday on Dartmoor is asked by Jenny Pendean to investigate the mystery of her husband's ■* J lsappea-an<*e. Jenny s uncle. Robert Redmayne. is suspected of murdering Michael Pendean in a fit of insanity brought on by hardships in the recent war. The two men are traced to the bungalow being built by Michael near Foggintor Quarry. Blood is found on the door of the cottage and several witnesses testify to seeing Robert riding away on his mojor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the saddle. Mark learns that Robert is the stranger with whom he conversed at Foggintor Quarry on a day when Mark visited a trout stream there. Brendon remembers how conspicuously Robert dressed. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Uj T AVE the workmen been in | I here this morning??” asked •*" Brendon, and Inspector Halfyard answered that they had not. “Two constables were here last night after l v o’clock—the men I sent from Princetown when Mrs. Pendean gave the alarm.” he said. “They looked found with an electric torch and found the blood. One came back; the other stopped on the spot all night." Brendon then examined the ground immediately outside the kitchen door. For twenty yards he scrutinized every inch and presently found indications of a motor bicycle. Half an hour later one of the constables approached, saluted Mark and made a statement. “They’ve pulled down the wall, sir, and found nothing there: but Fullford, the mason, says that a sack is missing." Mark came back presently out of the rain which had now begun to fall steadily—but not before he had strolled as far as the fishing pools and seen clear marks of naked, adult feet on the sandy brink. Nothing that he regarded as of value resulted from Inspection of the remaining rooms and Brendon presently decided that he would return to Princetown. He showed. Ha If yard the footprints by the and had them protected by a tarpaulin. “What’s your idea?” asked Halfyard. “I should say we have to do with an unfortunate man who’s gone mad,” replied the detective; “and a madman doesn’t take long to find as a rule. I think It’s murder, right enough, and I believe we shall find that this soldier, who’s had shell shock, turned on Pendean and cut his throat, then, fondly hoping to hide the crime, got away with the body.

"I KNEW CAPTAIN REDMATNE,,’’ HE SAID. "Redmayne was a big, powerful man and he may have struck without intention to kill; but this mess means more than a blow with a fist. I think that he was a homicidal maniac and probably plotted the job beforehand with a madman’s limited cunning; and if that is so, there's pretty sure to be news waiting for us at Princetown.” The correctness of Brendon’s deduction was made manifest within an hour, and the opfrations of Robert Redmayne defined up to a point. A. man was waiting at the police station —George French, ostler at Two Bridges Hbtel, on West Dart. “I knew Captain Redmayne,” he said, “because he'd been down once or twice of late to tea at Two Bridges. Last night, at half after ten, I was crossing the road from the garage and suddenly, without warning, a motor bike came over the bridge. I heard the rush of it and only got out of the way by a yard. There was no light showing but the man went through the beam thrown from the WOMAN SO ILL COOLDNOTWORK Gained Strength,Weight, and Now Doing Own WorkbyTakingLydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Marion, Ind.—“l was all run-down, nervous and bent over.

.open door of the hotel and I saw it was the captain by his great mustache and his red waistcoat.” “Was anybody with him?” “No, sir. \l’d have seen that much; but he carried a big sack behind the saddle—that I can swear to.” There had been several telephone calls for Inspector Halfyard during his absence; and now three separate statements from different districts awaited him. These were already _written out by a constable, and he took them one by one, read them, and handed them to Brendon. The first came from the postoffice at Post Bridge, and the .postmistress reported that a man, one Samuel White, had seen a motor bicycle run at great speed without lights up the steep hill northward of that-village on the previous Bight. He gave the time as between half past ten and eleven o’clock. The second message told how a garage keeper was knocked up at Ashburton, just after midnight, in Oi-der that petrol might be obtained for a motor bicycle. The description of the purchaser corresponded to Redmayne and the message added that the bicycle had a large sack tied behind it. The third communication came from the police station at Brixham and was somewhat lengthy. It ran thus: “At ten minutes after 2 o’clock last night P. C. Widgery, on night duty at Brixham, saw a man on a motor bicycle with a large parcel behind him run through the town square. He proceeded down the main street and was gone for the best part of an hour; but, before 3 o’clock. Widgery saw him return without his parcel. He went fast up the hill out of Brixham, the way he came. Inquiries today show that he passed the Brixham coast-guard station about a quarter after 2 o'clock, and he must have lifted his machine over the barrier at the end of the coast-guard road, because he was seen by a boy, from Berry Head lighthouse, pushing it up the steep path that runs to the downs. The boy was going for a doctor, because his father, one of the lighthouse watchers, had been taken ill.” f . Inspector Halfyard waited until Brendon had read the messages and put them down. "About as easy as shelling peas—eh?” he asked. “I expected an arrest," answered the detective. “It can’t be long delayed” As though to confirm him the telephone bell rang and Halfyard rose and entered the bax to receive the latest information. “Paignton speaking,” said the message. “We have just called at address of Captain Redmayne—No. 7 Marine Terrace. He \ was expected last night—had wired yesterday to say he’d be home. They left supper for him, as usual when he Is expected, and went to bed. Didn’t hear him return, but found on going down to the house next morning that he had come —supper eaten, motor bike in tool house in back yard, where he keeps it. They called him at 10 o’clock—no answer. They went in his room./ Not there and bed not slept In and his clothes not changed. He’s not been seen since." Inspector Halfyard reported the statement and Brendon picked up the mouthpiece. ' “Detective Brendon speaking. Who is it?” “Inspector Reece, Paignton." “Let me hear at 5 o’clock if arrest has been made. Falling arrest I will motor down to you after that hour." “Very good, sir. I expect to hear he’s taken any minute." Brendon considered, having first looked at his watch. He turned to Half yard, “Should Robert Redmayne not be taken today, one or two things must be done,” he said. “You’d better have some, of that blood collected and the, fact proved that it is hupian. Now I’ll go and get some food and see Mrs. Pendean. Then I’ll come back. I’ll take the police car for Paignton at half past five if we hear nothing to alter my plans.’’ It was now 3 o’clock. Suddenly he turned and asked Halfyard a question. “What do you think of Mrs. Pendean, inspector?” “I think two things about her,” answered the elder. “I think she’s such a lovely piece that it’s hard to believe she's just flesh and blood, like other women; and I think I never saw such worship for a man as she had for her husband. This will knock her right bang out.” “What sort of a man was he?” “A friendly fashion of chap—Cornish—a pacifist at heart I reckon; but we never talked war politics.” “What was his age?” “Couldn’t tell you—doubtful—might have been anything between 25 and 35. A man with weak eyes and a brown beard. He wore double eye-glasses for close work, but his long sight he said was good.” After a'meal Brendon went again to Mrs. Pendean; but many rumors had

It broke out in water blisters, then a regular rash, and my face, arms and neck were affected. The itching and burning were very severe, and I scratched and irritated the affected parts so badly that I could not stand my clothes to touch them.

reached her through the morning and she already knew most of what he had to tell. “Have you a portrait of your husband?” asked Mark. Mrs. Pendean left the room and returned in a few moments with a photograph. It presented a man of meditative countenance, wide forehead, and steadfast eyes. He wore a beard, mustache and whiskers, and his hair was rather long. “Is that like him?” "Yes; but It does not show his expression. It is not quite natural —he was more animated than that.” "How old was he?” “Not 30, Mr. Brendon, but he looked considerably older.” Brendon studied the photograph. “You can take It with you If you wish to do so. I have another copy,” said Mrs. Pendean. “I shall remember very accurately,” answered Brendon. “Can you tell me anything about the lady to whom your uncle Is engaged?" “I can give you her name and address. But I have never seen her.” “Had your hueband seen her?” “Not to my knowledge. Indeed I can say certainly that he never had. She is a Miss Flora Reed and she Is stopping with her mothey and father at the Singer Hotel, Paignton. Her brother, my uncle’s friend In France, is also there, I believe.” —- "Thank you very much. If I hear nothing further, I go to Paignton this evening.” “Why?” \ “To pursue my inquiri and see all those who know your unele.” Mark rose. I “Yoii shall hear from m 4 tomorrw,**

he said, "and if I do not go to Paignton, I will see you again tonight.” “Thank you—you are very kind.” Brendon returned to the police station and was astonished to find that Robert Redmayne continued at large. The cement sack had been found in the mouth of a rabbit hole to the west of the Head, above a precipice. The sack was bloodstained and contained some small tufts of hair and the dust of cement.
