BEGIN HERE TODAY Michael Pendean. husband of Jenny, disappears and Robert Redmanye, undo to Jenny, is suspected of murder. Mark Brendon. criminal investigator, is charge of the case. Robert roams at large. Jenny goes to live with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne. Robert visits Bendigo's neighborhood and sends for his brother to meet him in a nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria takes his master to the meeting piace and leaves the two brothers together. When Doria calls for Bendigo he finds both men missing and evidence of a terrible struggle in the cave. . Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle. Albert Redmayne, lives. When Robert is seen in Italy Brendon and Peter Ganns, famous American detective, renew investigations. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY <<TVT ONE whatever. Doria Is amazingly handsome and attractive—the type a woman generally worships. I grant that Italo-English marriages are not remarkable for their success; but —well, no doubt Jenny’s husband is worldlywise. He has everything to gain by being good, everything to lose by behaving badly. Jenny is a proud girl. I hope to see much of her, though it appears that their home will be in Turin.” ‘‘He has abandoned his ambitions to recover the family estates and title and so forth? Brendon told me all about that.” ‘‘Entirely. Besides, it seems that one of your countrymen has secured the castle at Dolceacqua and bought the title, too. Giuseppe was very entertaining on the subject. But I’m afraid he loves idleness.” Before luncheon Mark Brendon re‘urned from the hills -with'his guide. They had seen nothing of Robert Rednayne and appeared to be rather weary of one another’s company. ‘‘You must impart your wisdom and spirit to Signor Marco,” said Giauseppe to Mr. Ganns when Brendon •'•a s out of earshot with Jenny. “He 3 a very dull dog and does not even isten when I talk. Not simpatico, I uppose. He will never And out anyhing. Will you. I wonder? Have you any Ideas? Anew broom sweeps clean, as you say.” “Avery cute notion,” declared Peter. “We’ll rope-you in, Giuseppe. Between you and me and the post, our friend Brendon has been barking up the wrcng tree, you know. But f you and I and he, together, can't Mean this up, then we're not the men I take us for.” Doria laughed. It was not until after the midday meal that Ganns and Mark were able to get speech together. Then, promising to return in time to meet Virgilio Poggi, who would cross the lake for tea, the two men sauntered beside Como and exchanged experiences. The interview proved painful to the younger, for he found that Peter's doubts were cleared in certain directions. "Do you begin to see any light?” asked Mark. “Not much upon the main problem. A minor feature has cleared, however. I know the rock you spit upon, my son. You were in love with lenny Pendean from the moment you .mew that she was a widow. And you’re In love with Jenny Doria now. And to be In love with one of the principals in a case. Is to handicap yourself out of the hunt, as far as that case Is concerned.” “We know some things without proof and are proud to take them on trust,” answered Brendon. "Have I not seen Mrs. Doria under affliction and in situations unspeakably difficult? She buried her own crushing grief—" “And in nine months was married to another man.” “She is young and you have seen for yourself what her husband is. Who can tell what measures he took to win her?”

"Well, I do not ask much: but since I have picked up this thing for Albert’s sake, there's one point on which I insist. If you are going to take Jenny into your confidence and assume that she has no wish or desire other than to see justice done and the mystery cleared, then I can’t work with you, Mark.” "You wrong her, but that doesn’t matter, I suppose. What does matter is that you wrong me,” 6aid Brendon, with fierce eyes fixed upon the elder. "I’ve never thought or dreamed of confiding in her, or anybody else. I’m a detective first and last and always over this business: and I have some credit in my painful profession.” “Good! Remember that, whatever happens. And keep your temper with me, too, because nothing is gained by losing It. I'm not saying a word against Mrs. Doria, but inasmuch as she is Mrs. Doria and inasmuch as Doria is as yet very much an unknown quantity to you and me, you must understand that I don’t allow appearances to blind my eyes or control my actions. It looks all right; but suppose, for their own ends, that Jenny Doria and her spouse want to create the impression that they are not friends?" “My God! What would you make of her?” SftUt isn’t what I’d make of her. what she really is. And that I’m to find out, because a great more may depend upon it than you appear to imagine.” “A moment’s reflection will surely convince you that neither she nor Doria—” “Wait, wait! I’m only & ying that we must not allow character, fancied or real, to dam any channel of investigation. Have you asked yourself why Bendigo Redmayne’s diary is missing?” “I have —and could not see how it was likely to contain anything dangerous to Robert Radmayne.” Peter did not enlighten him for the moment. Then he spoke and changed the subject. “I must find out several fundamental facts and I certainly shall not learn them here?” he said. “Next week, in all probability, unless something unexpected happens to prevent it, I go back to England.’ “You want me to look after Mr. Redmayne?” “No: I look after him. He’s my first care. I havent’ broke it to him yet: bWlie’s going with me.” Ganns considered and th6n proceeded. “V mutt give you a clear understanding. I’m so used to playing a

lone hand and saying nothing tiU I can say everything, that I may be tempted to treat you in a way you don’t deserve. Now I’ll tell you how the cat's Jumping. She’s jumping in the dark —I’ll allow that; but what I seem to see dimly is this: that Giuseppe Doria khows a great deal more about the man in the red waistcoat than we do. * “If Albert disappeared, you’ve got to remember that Doria’s wife would be the worldly gainer. Why anybody should want to kill Albert to put money into Jenny’s pocket I can not say. But it’s a feature; and while I’m In England. I’ll ask you to keep your eyes skinned and try and find out as much about Giuseppe as you can.” "You forget that he only came into this busines at ‘Crow’s Nest.’ " “How can I forget what I don’t know? Why do you say he only came into it at ‘Crow's Nest,? He may have come into it at Foggintor. Perhaps he and not Robert Redmayne, or any other, cut Michael Pendean's throat?” “impossible. Consider. Is not Michael’s widow Doria’s wife?” “What, then? I’m not saying she knew he was the murderer.” “Another thing: Doria was the servant of Bendigo Redmayne at the time.” “And how do you know even so much?” Brendon showed impatience. “My dear Ganns, that’s common knowledge.” “Common nothing! You can’t swear he was the servant of Bendigo Redmayne on the day that the murder was committed. To prove as much would entail an amount of solid research that might surprise you. Os this crowd, only Doria for certain knows when he joined up at ‘Crow's Nest.’ His wife may, or may not, know. I’m quite unprepared to take Giuseppe’s word for the date.” “That’s why you wanted Bendigo Redmayne’s log then?” "One of the reasons certainly.” Two days later the book lover and Peter were taking a steamer for Varenna, whence they would entrain for Milan and so return to England. s On the steamer stood Virgilio Poggi. He has come across the water to leave of Mr. Redmayne and see him as far as Varenna. The three men departed presently, leaving Mark, Jenny and her husband together. At Varenna, Virgilio also took his leave He was not contept with embracing Albert but clasped Mr. Ganns also In an abectionate farewell.

CHAPTER XIV Revolver and Pickaxe While Brendon entertained no sort of regard for Doria, his balanced mind allowed him to view the man with impartial justice. Giuseppe and his wife had planned to visit an acquaintance at Colico, to the northward of the lake; and before the steamer started, after noon, the two men took a stroll in the hills a mile above Menaggio. Brendon had asked for some private conversation and the other gladly agreed. “As you know, -I’m going to spend the day in the red man's haunt,” explained Mark, “and I’ll call at supper time since you wish it; but before you go, I’ll ask you to stroll along for an hour. I want to talk to you.” “That will suit me very well,” said the other, and in half an hour he to Brendon, found him chatting Vith Jenny in the dark portal of the silkworm house, and drew him away. “You shall have speech with her tonight after supper,” promised Giuseppe. “Now it is my turn. We will ascend to the little shrine on the track above the orchards.” Brendon opened the conversation and of course treated the other as though no question existed concerning his honesty. “What do you think of this business?” he asked. "You have been pretty close to it for a long time now. You must have some theory." “I have no theory at all,” replied Doria. “My own affairs are enough for me and this cursed mystery Is thrusting a finger into my life and darkening it. I grow a very anxious and miserable man and I will tell you why, because you are understanding. You must not be angry if I now mention my wife in this affair." (Continued in Our Next Issue)
