BEGIN HERE TODAY Michael, husband of Jenny Pendean. disappears from his home on Dartmoor. Jenny engages the services of Mark Brendon, criminal investigator. Bipod is found on the floor of Michael's neW bungalow near Foggintor Quarry, where Pu.idean is last seen in the company of Jenny’s uncle Robert Redmayne. Witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on his motor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the saddle. The sack is found at a far distance Jenny goes u> live with her uncle Bendigo Redmane. Mark visits Bendigo and is introduced to Girseppe Doria. Bendigq shows Brendon a letter supposed to colne from Robert. Brendon falls in lov* with Jenny and sees in Doria a rival fir her affections. NOW GO 0?i WITH THE STORY HE hearc a singing voice and perceive 1 that it was Doria, the motor joatman. Fifty yards from him Ma k stood still, and the gardener aba: idoned his work and came forward He was bareheaded and smoking a thin, black Tuscan cigar with th b colors of Italy on a band around the middle of it. Giuseppe recognized hi n and spoke first. “It is Mr. Jrendon, the sleuth! He has come wit 1 news for my master?” “No. Doris —no news, worse luck; but I was tl is way—down at Plymouth again— ind thought I’d look up Mrs. Pendea 1 and her uncle. Why d’you call ml ‘sleuth’?” “I read storybooks of crime in which tlie detectives are ‘sleuths.’ It is American. Italians say ‘sbirro,’ England says "‘police officer.’ ” “How is everybody?” asked Mark. “Everybody very well. Time passes; tears dry; Providence watches." “And you are still looking for the rich woman to restore the last of the Dorias to his castle?” Giuseppe laughed, then he shut his eyes and sucked his evil-smelling cigar. “We shall see as to that. Man proposes, God disposes. There is a god called Cupid, Mr. Brendon, who overturns our plans as yonder plowshare overturns the secret homes of beetle and worm.” Mark’s pulse quickened. He guessed to what Doria possibly referred and felt concern but no surprise. The ether continued. “Ambition may succumb before I eauty. Ancestral castles may crumble before the tide of love, as a child’s rand building before the sea. Too true!” Doria sighed and looked at Brendon closely. The Italian stood in a tight-fitting Jersey of brown wool, a very picturesque fyjure against his dark background. The other had

IT WAS JENNY PENDEAN WHO WELCOMED IJIM. nothing to say and prepared to deecend. He guessed what had happened and was concerned rather with Jenny Pendean than the romantic personality before him But that the stranger could still be here, exiled in this lonely spot, told him quite as much as the man’s words! He was not chained to "Crow’s Nest" with his great ambitions in abeyance for nothing. Mark, however, pretended to miss the significance of Giuseppe’s confession. “A good master —eh? I expect the old sea wolf is an excellent friend when you know his little ways.” Dorla admitted it. "He Is all that I could wish and he likes me, because I understand him and make much of him. Every dog is a lion in his own kennel. Redmayne rules; but what is the good of a home to a man if he does not Bbule? We are friends. Yet, alas, we rnay not be for long—when—” He broke off abruptly and went back to his work. But he turned a moment and spoke again as Brendon proceeded. "Madonna is at home,” he shouted and Mark understood to whom he referred. He had reached "Crow’s Nest" in five minutes and it was Jenny dean who welcomed him. "Uncle’s in his tower,” she said. "I’ll call him In a minute. But tell me first if there is anything to tell. I am glad to see you—very!” She was excited and her great, misty blue eyes shone. She seemed more lovely than ever. "Nothing to report, Mrs. Pendean. At least —no, nothing at all. I’ve exhausted every possibility. And you _you ha*vV nothing., or you would hav6 let me hear it?” "There is nothing.” she said. “Uncle Ben would most certainly have told me if any news had reached him. I am sure that he is dead —Robert Redmayne” "I think so too. Tell me a little about • yourself, if I may venture to ask?” "You have been so thoughtful for j me. And I appreciated it. I’m all right. Mr. Brendon. There is still my life to live and I find ways of being useful here.” "You are contented then?” "Yes. Contentment is a poor substitute for happiness; but I am contented. He longed to speak intimately, yet had no excuse for doing so. "How much I wish it was in my power to brighten your content into ■wppiness again,” he said. nmUgjMfchim.

“Indeed I do.” “Perhaps I shall come to London some da.y, and then you would befriend me a little ” “How much I hope you will — soon.” “But lam dull and stupid still. I have great relapses and sometimes cannot even endure my uncle’s voice. Then I shut myself up. I chain myself like a savage thing, for a time, till I am patient again.” “You should have distractions.” “There are plenty—even here, though you might not guess it. Giuseppe Doria sings to me and I go out in the launch now and then. I always travel to and fro that way when I have to visit Dartmonth for i Uncle Ben and for the household provisions. And I am to have chickens to rear in the spring.” “The Italian—” “He is a gentleman, Mr. Brendon —a great gentleman, you. might say. I do not understand him very well. But I am safe with him. He would |do nothing base or small. He confided In me when first I came. He then had a dream to find a rich wife, who would love him and enable him j to restore the castle of the Doria In Italy and build up the family again. He is full of romance and has such energy and queer, magnetic that I can quite believe he will achieve his hopes some day.” “Does he still possses this ambition?” Jenny was silent for a moment. Her eyes looked out of the window ever the restless sea. “Why not?” she asked. “He Is, I should think, a man that women might fall in love with.” “Oh, yes—he Is amazingly handsome and there are fine thoughts In him.” Mark felt disposed to warn her, but felt that any counsel from him i would be an Impertinence. She seemed to read his mind, however. “I shall never marry again," she said. / “Nobody would dare to ask you to do so—nobody knows all that you have been called to suffer. Not for many a long day yet, I mean,” ha answered awkwardly. “You understand,” she replied and took his hand Impulsively. “There Is a great gulf I, think fixed between us Anglo-Saxons and the Latins. Their minds move far more swiftly than ours. They are more hungry to get e verything possible out- of life. Doria is a child in many ways; but a de lightful. poetical child. I think England rather chills him; yet he vows there are no rich women in Italy. He longs for Italy all the same. I expect he wijl go home again presently. He will leave Uncle Ben In the spring—so he confides to me, but do not whisper It. for my uncle thinks | highly of him and would hate to lose ' him. He can do everything and anticipates our wishes and whims m ; the most magical way.” “Well, I must not keep you any

longer.” "Indeed you are not doing that. I ! am very, very glad to see you, Mr. Brendon. You are going to stop for dinner? We always dine in the middle of the day.” "You must. And tea also. Come ! u{> to Uncle Bendigo now. I’ll leave S you witti him for an hour. Then din- | ner with be ready. Giuseppe always | joins us. You won’t mind?” “The last of the Doria! I’ve probI ably never shared a meal with 'such j high company!” She led him up the flight of stairs to the old sailor’s sanctum. “Mr. Brendon to see us, Uncle Ben,” j she said and Mr. Redmayne took his j eye from the big telescope. "A blow’s coming,” he announced, j “Wind’s shifted a point to southward. | Dirty weather already in the Chanj nel.” They shook hands and Jenny dis- ■ appeared. Bendigo was pleased to see | Brendon, but his interest in his j brother had apparently waned. He avoided the subject of Robert Redmayne, though he revealed other matters in his mind which he approached with a directness that rather astonished the detective. “I’m a rough bird,” he said, "but I keep my weather peeper open, and I didn’t find it difficult to see, when you were here in the summer, that my fine niece took your fancy. She’s the sort, apparently, that makes men lose their balance a bit. “At this minute I'm in sight of a very vexatious problem; because my right hand—Giuseppe Doria—has got his eyes on Jenny, and though he’s priceless as a single man and she’s invaluable as a single wrfman, if the beggar gets round her and makes her fall in love with him presently, then they’ll be married next year and that’s good-by to both of ’em!" Mark found himself a good deal embarrassed by this confidence. “I rather thought he was out for money—enough money to re-establish the vanished glories of his race.” “So he was and. of course, he knows he can’t do that with Jenny’s twenty thousand; but love casts out a good many things besides fear. It blights ambition —for the time being anyway—and handicaps a man on every side in the race for life. All Doria wants now is Jenny Pendean, and he’ll get her if I’m a judge. I wouldn’t mind too much either, if they could stop along with me and go on as we’re going; but of course that wouldn’t happen.” (Continued in Our Next Issue)

CITIZENSHIP MEET OPENSJPONA Forty Nations Represented in - Christian Conference, By United Preaa WINONA LAKE, Ind., July 2. Christianity is the only hope of saving the world from chaos, Bishop Wiillam Anderson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, declared in the opening address of the conference on world citizenship. Representatives from nearly forty nations were present. "Europe is engaged in thenmpossible task of trying to build the life of the continent upon hate,” he said. “Europe is seething in hate and bitterness. Europe may go the way of Babylon or an Assyria." The Rev. Jesse H. Martin, general superintendent of the National Reform Association, declared the world iiad tried everything, but Christianity as a cure for its ills, and that it was now time to give the Christian religion a fair trial. Dr. Henry Chung. Korean commissioner to the United States, said that continued world peace is Impossible without recognizing the nationality of all peoples on a basis of Christian fellowship.
