BEGIN HERE TODAY When Jenny Pendean's husband. Michael, disappears, her uncle. Robert Redmayne. is suspected of murder. Mark Brendon is in charge of the case. Robert remains at large. Jenny goes to live with her uncle. Bendigo Redmayne. Robert visits the neighborhood of Bendigo s home and sends word for his brother to meet him in a nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria. who works for Bendigo, leaves his master at tbj meeting place. Whan Doria calls to bring Bendigo home he finds both men have disappeared. There is evidence of a struggle in the empty cave. Jenny marries Doria and goes to live in Italy, where her uncle. Albert Redmayne. lives. When Robert appears in Ttaly, Brendon and Albert s friend. Peter Ganns. American detective, renew investigations. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. ( { t T E told the unfortunate man I I that he must appear by day. Ernesto then mentioned a certain place, a mile from here in a secluded valley—a little bridge that spans a stream —and directed Robert to await his brother at that spot on the following day at noon. This my Uncle Alberto had already planned in the event of his brother reappearing. “Having heard this, the red man departed without more words and your friend, greatly courageous, kept the appointment that he had made, taking only me with him. We were there before midday and waited until after 2 o’clock. But nobody caine to us and we saw neither man nor woman. ,r Peter listened intently to these words. "And what of your meeting with him?” he asked. “That was clearly an accident on Robert Redmayne’s part. I happened to be walking, deep in thought near the spot where my wife first saw him, and. rounding a corner, I suddenly confronted the man sitting on a rock by the path. He started at my footfall, looked up, clearly recognized me, hesitated, and then leaped into the bushes.” “How was he dressed?”
•'AND NOW I AM READY TO TALK TO YOU. MR. GANNS.” “Exactly as I saw him dressed at 'Crow's Nest’ where Mr. Bendigo Kedmayne disappeared.” “I should like to know his tatlor,” said Mr. Ganns. “That’s a useful suit he wears.” “Now, Peter, tell us all that ts in your mind,” urged Mr. Redmayno as ho poured out five little glasses of golden liqueur. “You hold that I go in some peril from this unhappy man.?” “I do think so, Albert. And ns to my mind, it is not by any means made up.” Ganns spoke again. “There has been mention made of Mr. Bendigo's log. He kept a careful diary—so it was reported. I should like to have that book, Albert, for in your statement you tell me that you preserved it.” "I did and it is here,” replied his friend. “That and dear Bendigo’s ‘Bible,’ as I call it —a copy of ‘Moby Dick’ —I brought away. As yet I have not consulted the diary—it was too intimate and distressed me. But I was looking forward to doing so.” “The parcel containing both books is in a drawer in the library. I’ll get them,’’ said Jenny. She left the apartment where they sat overlooking the lake and returned immediately with a parcel wrapped in brown paper. But whether Bendigo's diary might have proved valuable remained a matter of doubt, for when Jenny opened the parcel it was not there. A blank book and the famous novel were all the parcel contained. “But I packed it myself,” said Mr.
WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE Relieved of Nervousness and Other Distressing Ailments by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Brooklyn, N. Y. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com I '■ ■■ ■ pound four years ago, and am taking it now for the Change of Life f. blea and I receive greatjbene fit from let letter and read it carefully, and that is now i came to take the Vegetable Compound myself. It has given me quiet nerves so that I sleep all night, and a better t *appetite. I have recommended it already to all my friends and relatives.” Mrs. Englemann, 2032 Palmetto St, Ridgewood, Brooklyn, N. Y. For the woman suffering from nervous troubles causing sleeplessness, headache, hysteria, “the blues,” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will be found a splendid medicine. For the woman of middle age who is passing through the trials of that period, it can be depended upon to relieve the troubles common at that time. You should give it a fair trial now.
Redmayne. “The diary was bound exactly as this blank volume is bound, yet it is certain that I made no mistake, for I opened my brother’s log and read a page or two before completing the parcel.” “He had bought anew diary only the last time he was in Dartmouth,” said Ooria. "I remembw the incident. I asked him what he was going to put into the book, and he said that his log was just running out and he needed anew -volume.” "Then the one has been substituted for the other by somebody else. That is a very interesting fact, if true.” He took up the empty volume and turned its pg.ges; then Brendon declared they must be going. “I’m afraid we're keeping Mr. Redmayne out of bed. Ganns,” he hinted. “Our kits have already been sent to the hotel and as we’ve got a mile to walk, we’d better be moving.” But Peter spoke and surprised them. “I’m afraid you’re going to find me the sort of friend that sticketh closer than a brother, Albert* In a word, somebody must go to the hotel and bring back my traveling grip, for I'm not going to lose sight of you again till we’ve got this thing straightened out.” Mr. Redmayne was delighted. “How like you, Peter —how typical of your attitude! Tou shall not leave me, dear friend. Tou shall sleep in the apartment next my own. It contains many books, but there shall be my great couch moved from my own bedroom and set up there in half an hour. It is as comfortable as a bed.” He turned to his niece. “Seek Assunta and Ernesto and set the apartment in order for Mr. Canns, Jenny: and you. Giuseppe, will take Mr. Brendon to the Hotel Victoria and bring back Peter's luggage.” Jenny hastened to do her uncle’s bidding, while Brendon made his farewell and promised to return at an early hour on the following morning. “My plans for tomorrow,” said Peter, “subject to Mark’s approval, are these. I suggest that Signor Doria should take Brendon to the scene in the' hills where Robert Redmayne appeared: while, by her leave, I have a talk with Mrs. Jenny here.”
CHAPTER XIII Tire Sudden Return to England Peter Ganns sat next day and spoke to Albert Redmayne on a little gallery that extended from the diningroom of the villa and overhung the lake. Here, for half an hour, he talked and listened until Jenny should be ready for him. They set the world right together and their thoughts drifted into a region of benignant aspirations. Then came Jenny and presently the detective followed her into a garden of tiowers behind Villa Pianezzo. "Giuseppe and Mr. Brendon have gone to the hills,” she said. "And now I am ready to talk to you, Mr. Ganns.” He looked at her beautiful face intently. “Show me the silkworms,” he said. They entered the lofty shed rising above a thicket behind thevvilla shuttered apartment where twilight reigned. “Never mummy was wound so exquisitely as the silkworm’s chrysalis,” said Pter; and Jenny chatted cheerfully about the silken industry and its varied interests, but found that Mr. Ganns could tell her much more than she was able to tell him. He listened with attention, however. and only by gmaual stages deflected conversation to the affairs that had brought him. Presently he indicated an aspect of her own position. “Did it ever strike you that it was a bold thing to marry within little more than nine mnoths of your first husband’s disappearance, Mrs. Doria?” he asked. "It did not; but I shivered when I heard you talking yesterday. And call me ‘Jenny,’ not ‘Mrs. Doria,’ Mr. Ganns.” "Love has always been very impatient of law.” he declared; “but the fact Is that unless proof of an exceptional character can be submitted, the English law Is not prepared to say of any man that he Is dead until seven years have passed from the last record of him among the living. Now there is rather a serious difference between seven years and nine months, Jenny.” She looked at him with a face full of unhappiness. "I can trust you. Tou are wise and know life. I have not married a man, but a devil!” He took snuff and listened, while the unfortunate woman raved of her error. * Peter studied her very carefully, yet, for the moment, showed no great sympathy. “Tou are thinking of something,” she said. “Naturally. What you have told me as to your relations with your Italian husband offers considerable food for thought. Does Giuseppe know that you no longer love him?’’ "I have hid it. The time has not come to let him know that. Ho would be revenged, and God knows what form his revenge might take. Till I have escaped from him, he must not dream that I have changed.” They parted presently and Jenny returned to the house, while the detective, finding a comfortable chair under an oleander bush, sniffed the fragrance of the red blossom above him, regretted that his vice had largely spoiled his sense of smell, took snuff and opened his notebook. He ■wrote in it steadily for half an hour; then he rose and joined Albert Redmayne. The elder was full of an approaching event. “To think that today you and Poggi meet!” he exclaimed. “Peter, my dear man, if you do not love Virgilio I shall be broken-hearted.” “Albert.” answered Mr. Ganns. “I have already loved Poggi for two years. Those you love, I love: and that means that our friendship is on a very high plane indeed; for it cften happens that nothing puzzles us" more infernally than our friends’

friends. By the same token, how much do you love your niece?” Mr. Redmayne did not answer instantly. "I love her,” he replied at length, “because I love everything that it lovely; and without prejudice I do honestly believe she is about the loveliest young woman I have ever seen. Her face more nearly resembles that of Botticelli's Venus than any living being in my experience and it is the sweetest face I knofc\ Therefore I love her outside very much indeed, Peter. “But when it comes to her inside, I feel not so sure. That is natural, for this reason, that I do not know her at all w'ell yet. I have seldom seen her in childhood, or had any real acquaintance with her until now. Nor does she come to me, as it were, alone. Her life turns to her husband. She is still a bride and adores him.” "You have no reason to think her an unhappy bride?” (Continued in Our Next Issue) In Jack’s New House The sanguinary events that trod on each other’s heels in the wellknown house that Jack built are to find repetition, in a measure, throughout Russia. That sad country is overrun by rats and mice. Agents of the Soviets are in Poland now buying up 150,000 cats, to be turned loose on the Russian vermin. In due time, no doubt, dogs will be called on to worry Lhe cats that ate the rats, and so forth. Bolshevik rule seems always to deal with effects rather than causes.

It started with little pimples and blisters which spread rapidly. I could not stand any dothing on my arms, andmay taoe was disfigured. My scalp itched and burned so that I could not slssp, and my hair became dry and lifeless and fell out in handfuls. ** I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample.
