&; BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendon, famous criminal v< fgk Jestimator, is engaged by Jenny Pci dean U) solve the mysterious disappear -.1 ance of her husband. Michael. Pendei.i V is last seen in the company of Robert Hedmayne, uncle to Jenny, when the rjl two men visit anew bungalow being ■ built by Michael near Foggintor Quarry ir Blood is found on the floor of the ■ cottage and witnesses testify to having ■ seen Robert ride away on his motor with a heavy sack behind the saddle. The sack Is found at a far distance from the scene of mystery Jenny goes to live with her uncle. Bendigo Redmayne. Brer.don calls at Bendigo's home and meets Guiseppe Daria. who works there. Bendiao shows Mark a letter supposed to be from Robert Redmayne. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY \T OW, what is more, both Miss Reed and her parents made ■*" it clear that the soldier was of an excitable and uncertain nature. In fact Mr. Reed didn’t much approve of the match. He described a rnan who might very easily slip over the border line between reason and unreason. No, Halfyard, you’ll not find any theory to hold water, but the theory of a mental breakdown. The letter he wrote to his brother quite confirms It. The very writing shows a lack of restraint and selfcontrol.” "The writing was really his?” "I’ve compared It with another letter In Bendigo Redmayne’s possession. It’s a peculiar fist. I should say there couldn’t be a shadow of doubt." “What shall you do next?” asked Halfyard. “Get back to Plymouth again and make close Inquiries among the onion boats. They go and come and I can trace the craft that left Plymouth during the days that immedlctely followed the posting of Redmayne’s letter. These will probably be back again with another load In a week or two. One ought to be able to check them.” "A wild-goose chase, Brendon.” “Looks to me as though the whole Inquiry had been pretty much so from the first. We’ve missed the key somewhere. How the man that left Paignton In knickerbockers, and a big check suit and a red waistcoat on the morning after the murder got away with It and never challenged a r ingle eye on rail or road—well, It’s such a flat contradiction to reason and experience that I can’t easily believe the face value.”

HE FOLLOWED THE VOYAGES OF A DOZEN SMALL VESSELS. “No —there’s a breakdown somewhere—that's what I’m telling you; but whether the fault If ours, or a trick has been played to put us fairly out of the running, no doubt you’ll find out soon or late. I don’t see there’s anything more we can do up here whether or no." “There isn’t,” admitted Mark. “It’s •11 been routine work and a devil of • lot of time wasted in my opinion. Between ourselves, I’m rather ashamed of myself. Halfyard. I’ve missed something—the thing that most mattered. There’s a signpost sticking up somewhere that I never •aw.” The Inspector nodded. “It happens so sometimes—cruel vexing—and then people laugh at us and ask how we earn our money. Now and again, as you say, there’3 |a danger signal to a case so clear as 'the nose on a man’s face, and yet, owing to following some other clew, or sticking to a theory that we feel can and must be the only right one, we miss the real, vital point till we go and bark our shins on it. And GOULD HARDLY DO HER WORK Lydia L Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Made Her Eat, Sleep and Feel Better Every Way Chicago, 111.—“I was weak and rundown and in such a nervous condition B" "Ithatlcould hardly do my work. I was tired all the time, and had no appetite. I tried different medicines for years, but they did not help me. Then I read in the papers about Compound and what it had done for other women and gave it a trial. I began to eat better and could sleep, and consider it a wonderful medicine. I recommend it to my friends and will never be without it.”—Mrs-M.OHLEN, 8640 S. Marshfield Ave., Chicago, 111. It is such letters as these that testify to the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This woman speaks from the fullness of her heart. She describes as correctly as she can her condition, first the symptoms that bothered her the most, and later the disappearance of those symptoms. It is a sincere expression of gratitude. For nearly fifty years Lydia E. Pfekham’s Vegetable Compound has bt*tu so praised by women.

hen, perhaps, it’s too late and we ck silly.” Brendon admitted the truth of this xperience. “There can only be two possible ntuations,” he said; “either this was i motiveless murder—and lack of mo.ive means insanity—or else there was _t deep reason for It and Redmayne killed Pendean, after plotting far in advance to do so and get clear himself. In the first case he would have been found, unless he had committed suicide In sonje such cunning fashion that we can’t the body. In the second case, he’s a very cute bird indeed and the ride to Paignton and disposal of the corpse—that all looked so mad—was supercraft on his part. But, If alive, mad or sane, I’m of opinion he did what he said in his letter to his brother he mean; to do, and got off for a French or Spanish port. So that s the next step for me —to try and hunt down the boat that took him.” He pursued this policy, left Princetown for Plymouth on the following day, took a room at a sailors’ Inn on the Barbican and with the help of the harbor authority followed the voyages of a dozen small vessels which had been berthing at Plymouth during the critical days. A month of arduous work Mark devoted to this stage of the inquiry, and his investigation produced nothing whatever. Not a skipper of any vessel Involved could furnish the least information and no man resembling Robert Redmayne had been seen by the harbor police or any independent person at Plymouth, despite sharo watchfulness. A time came when the detective was recalled to London and heartily chaffed for his failure; but his own unusual disappointment disarmed the amusement at his expense. The case had presented such few apparent difficulties that Brendon’s complete unsuccess astonished his chief. lie was content, however, to believe Mark’s own conviction—that Robert Redmayne had .never left England, but destroyed himself—probably soon after the dispatch of his letter to Bendigo from Plymouth. Much demanded attention and Brendon was soon devoting himself to a diamond robbery in the Midlands. Months passed, the body of Michael Pendean had not been recovered, and the little world of Scotland Yard pigeonholed the mystery, while the larger world forgot all about It. Meantime, with a sense of secret relief, Mark Brendon prepared to face what had sprung out of these incidents, while permitting the events themselves to pass from his present interests. There remained Jenny Pendean, and his mind was deeply preoccupied with her. Indeed, apart from the dally toll of work, she filled it to the exclusion of every other personal consideration. He longed unspeakably to see her again, for though he had corresponded during the progress of, his inquiries and kept her closely informed of everything that he was doing, the excuse for these communications no longer existed. She had acknowledged every letter, hut her replies were brief and she had given him no Information concerning herself, or her future Intentions, though he had asked her to do so. One item of Information only had she vouchsafed and he learned that she was finishing the bungalow to her husband’s original plan and then seeking a possible customer to take over her lease. She wrote: “I cannot see Dartmoor again, for It mea.ns my happiest as well as my most unhappy hours. I r.hall never be so happy again and, I hope, never suffer so unspeakably as I have during the recent past.” He turned over the sentence many times and considered the weight of every word. He concluded from It that Jenny Pendean, while aware that her greatest joys were gone forever, yet looked forward to a time when her present desolation might give place to a truer tranquillity and content. The fact that-this should be so, however, astonished Brendon. He judged her words were perhaps ill chosen and that she implied a swifter return to peace than in reality would occur. He had guessed that a year at least, instead of merely these four months, must pass before her terrible sorrow could begin to dim. Indeed ha felt sure of It and concluded that he was reading an implication into this pregnant sentence that she had intended it to carry. He longed to see her and was just planning how to do so, when chance offered an opportunity. Brendon was called to arrest two Russians, due to arrive at Plymouth from New York upon a day in midDecember; and having identified them and testified to their previous activities In England, he was free for a while. Without sending any warning, he proceeded to Dartmouth, put up there thaf night, and started, at 9 o’clock on the following morning, to walk to “Crow’s Nest.” His heart beat hard and two thoughts moved together in it, for not only did he intensely desire to see the widow but also had a wish to surprise the little community on the cliff for another reason. Still some vague suspicion held his mind that Bendigo Rledmayne might be assisting his brother. The idea was shadowy, yet ,he had never wholly lost it and more than once contemplated such a surprise visit as he was now about to pay. Suspicion, however, seemed to diminish as he ascended great heights west of the river estuary, and when within the space of two hours he had reached a place from which "Crow’s Nest” could be seen, perched between the cliff heights and a gray, wintry sea, nothing but the anticipated vision of the woman held his mind. \le came Ignorant of the startling events awaiting him, little guessing how both the story of his secret dream and the chronicle of the quarry crime were destined to be advanced by great Incidents before the day was done. His road ran over the cliffs and about - him swept brown and npked fields, under the winter sky. Here and a mewing gull flew overhead* and the only sign of other life was * plowman crawling behind his

horses with more sea fowl fluttering in his wake. Brendon came at last tp a white gate facing on the highway and found that he had reached his destination. Upon the gate “Crow’s Nest” was written in letters stamped upon a bronze plate, and above it rose a post with a receptable for holding a lamp at night. The road to the house fell steeply down and, far beneath, he saw the flagßtaff and the tower room rising above the dwelling. A bleakness and melancholy seemed to encompass the spot on this somber day. The wind sighed and sent a tremor of light through the dead grass; the horizon was invisible, for mist concealed it; and from the low and ash-colored vapor the sea crept out with its monotonous, myriad wavelets flecked here and there by a feather of foam. As he descended Brendon saw a man at work in the garden setting up a two-foot barrier of woven wire. It was evidently intended to keep the rabbits from the cultivated flower beds which had been dug from the green slope of the coomb.
