BEGIN HERE TODAY • Jenny Pendean engages Mark Brendon. famous criminal investigator, to solve the mysterious disappearance of her husband. Michael from his home on Dartmoor. Pendean is last seen in the company of Jenny s uncle, Robert Redmayne, when the two visit Michael s new bungalow near t'oggintor Quarry. Blood is found on the ’.oor of the cottage and witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on his motor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the saddle. Jenny goes to live with her uncle. Bendigo Redmayne. and Brendon visits her there Mark is introduced to Giuseppe Doria. who works for Bendigo. Brendon falls in lov t with Jenny and her unci* Bendigo tells him that he fears that Doria is trying to win her affections. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY APPRECIATE the confidence I and can return a confidence,” answered Brendon after a moment’s reflection. ‘‘l do admire Mrs. Pendean. She is of course amazingly beautiful and she has a gracious and charming nature. With such distinction of character you may rest assured that nothing will happen yet a while. Tour niece will be faithful to her late husband’s memory for many a long month, if not forever.” “I believe tnat,” answered Bendigo. “We can mark tlm', I don’t doubt, till the turn of the year or maybe longer. But there it ‘3: they are thrown together every day. of their lives and though Jenny would hide it very carefully from me. and probably from herself also as far as she could, I guess he’s going to win out.” A few minutes later a gong sounded from beneath and the two men descended to their mead. It was Giuseppe Doria who did the talking while they ate a substantial dinner. He chattered on and after dinner lighted another of his Tuscan cigars, drank a liquor of some special brandy Mr. Redmayne produced in honor of Brendon, and then left them. They tea at 5 o’clock and an hour detective went on his way. A general invitation had been extended to him and the old sailor expressly declared that it would give him 'pleasure to receive Mark as a gue§t at any time. It was a suggestion that tempted Brendon not a little. The moon had risen as he pursued his lonely road and It shone clear through a gathering scud that threatened soon to overwhelm the silver light. Clouds flew fast and, above I ’.rendon’s head, telegraph Mures; hummed the song of a gathering j Ftorm. The man’s thoughts proceeded ■ is irregularly as the fitful and shout-1 i t wind.
THERE STOOD ROBERT REDMAYNE Still deep in thought Brendon tramped on: and then, where the road fell between a high bank to the windward side and a pine wood on the other, he experienced one of the greatest surprises that life had yet brought him. At a 'gate, which hung parrallel with the road and opened into the depth of a copse behind, there stood Robert Redmayne. He appeared to recognize Mark, or at any rate regard him as an enemy, for instantly he turned, plunged into the woods behind him, and disappeared. / CHAPTER VI Robert Redmayne Is Heard This sudden apparition bewildered Brendon, for It argued much beyond itself. Surely it indicated treachery r.rd falsehood among those he had just left at "Crow’s Nest.” for it was a coincidence almost inconceivable that on this day of his chance vist, the wanted man should suddenly reappear in the neighborhood of his brother’s house. Yet collusion seemed impossible, for Mark had given no notice to Bendigo Redmayne of his coming. He swiftly determined that not Jenny, or ner Uncle Bendigo, or anybody on earth should prevent him from securing Robert Redmayne on the following day if it came within his power to do so. Indeed he felt little doubt that this would happen. For that night there was no hurry. He slept well after an unusual amount of exercise and emotion, and he rose late. He was dressing at half past eight when there came a chambermaid to the door. “There’s a gentleman see you this Instant moment, please, fir,” she said. “He’s by the name of Mr. Doria and he comes from Captain Redthayne out over at ‘Crow’s Nest.’ ” Not sorry that his day’s work nr.lght now be simplified, Mark bade the girl summon his visitor, and in two minutes Giuseppe Doria appeared. “So Robert Redmayne, the murderer of Michael Pendean. has turned up?” asked Brendon, finishing his shaving; and Doria showed astonishment. "Corpo di Bacco! How did you know that?” he asked. “I saw him on my way home,” replied Mark. “I had already seen him. before the tragedy on Dartmoor, and I remembered him. What is more, I'm not sure that he didn't remember me.” “We are in fear," continued Doria. “He has not been yet to his brother, but he ib near.” “How can you tell that he Is near, h* has not yet been to his brother?”
“Thus we know it.. I go every morning early to Strete farm on the hills above us for milk and butter. I go this morning and they have an ugly story. Last night a man entered Strete farm and took food and drink. The farmer hears him and comes upon him sitting eating In the kitchen —a big - man with a red head and a red mustache and a sec! waistcoat. The man. when he sees Mr. Brook--—that is the farmer —he bolts through the back kitchen by which he has come. ,Mr. Brook knows nothing of the man and be tells me of his adventure, and then I go home to tell padron mio—my master. “When I describe this man, Mr. Redmayne and Madonna nearly have a fit between them. They recognize , him—he is the assassin! They think I instantly of you and bid me take my bicycle and ride here at my best speed to catch you, if it may be done before you go.” By' 9 o’clock the Italia4i had started homeward, and as soon as he was gone, Brendon went to the police station, borrowed a revolver and a pair of handcuffs, hinted at his business, and ordered a police car to be ready as quickly as possible. A 'constable drove him and before seting out he told the local chief of police, one Inspector Damarell, to await a message over the telephone in the course of the morning. He enjoined strictest secrecy for the present. Mark, who had studied Mr. Redmayne’s large government survey map of the district, suggested an immediate search over the most likely regions in the neighborhood. He ’inclined to the belief that the hunted man might sooner trust the woods than the coaet. “If Mrs. Pendean doesn’t mind the weather and there is no shadow of danger to the launch, then I advise that your niece goes down the coast and have a look into the caves as you propose,” he said. “No doubt Doria can be trusted to see sharply after her. Meantime we will quarter the wood. If we could only get into touch with the man. It might be possible to secure him without making any noise.” Doria prepared for the coming voyage of discovery and, within half an hour, the motor boat danced out from beneath “Crow’s Nest.” After they had gone, Bendigo, in a sailor’s peajacket and cap, lighted a pipe, took a big black-thorn stick, and set off beside Mark. The police car still stood on the road and. both entering it. they soon reached the gate beside which Robert Redmayne had appeared on the previous night. There they left he motor and entered Black Woods together.
Bendigo still talked of his niece and continued to do so. It was a subject >n which the other proved very willig to listen. “She’s at the parting of the ways now,” declared Jenny’s uncle. “I can -ee her mind working. I grant she loved her husband dearly enough and he made a pretty deep mark on her character, for she’s different from what she was as a girl.” Mark asked a question. “When you say that her husband altered his wife’s character, in what way did he do so?” “Well —he taught her sense I seck:>n. You’d never now, would you, that she was a red Redmayne—one of us—short of temper, peppery, fiery? But she was, as a youngster. Her father had the Redmayne qualities more developed than any of us, and he handed ’em down. She was a willful thing—plucky and fond of mischief. That was the girl I remembered when Jenny came back to me a widow. And so I see that Michael Pendean, whatever else he was, evidently had the trick character to learn her a bit of sense and patience.” They tramped the wood and fell in with a gamekeeper, who greeted the trespassers none too amiably. But on learning their errand and receiving a description of the fugitive, he bade them go where they pleased and himself promised to keep a sharp watch. Their hunt produced neither sign nor clew of the man they sought, and after three hours of steady tramping, they returned in the motor car t£ “Crow’s Nest.” News of direct Importance awaited them. Jenny had not only seen Robert Redmayne. but had reached him: and she returned very distressed and somewhat hysterical, while Doris, having done great things in the matter. was prepared to brag about them“We saw him,” said Jenny, “about two miles down the coast, sitting not fifty yards from the sea. Then Giuseppe suggested landing and so approaching him. The thing was to let me reach him. if possible. “We ran by, as though we had not observed him: then, getting round a little bluff, so that we were hidden, we went ashore, made fast the boat, and regularly stalked him. The poor wretch saw us and leaped up, but it was too late and Giuseppe reached him in a moment and explained that I came as a friend. Doria was prepared to detain him if he endeavored to es cape, but he did not.” “Is he sane?” asked Bendigo. (Continued in Our Next Issue) ECONOMY IS PROTESTED! Ft.
