BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendou, criminal investigator, is trying’ to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Michael, husband of Jenny Pendean. Jenny s uncle, Robert Redcifcyue. is missing and suspected of murder Jenny goes to live with her uncle. Bendigo Redmayne. Robert visits Bendigo s neighborhod and sneds word to his brother to meet him in a nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria. who works for Bendigo, takes his master to the meeting place. When Doria calls to bring Bendigo home ha finds an empty cave. Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Italy, where Jenny's uncle. Albert Redmayne, lives. Robert is seen In Italy. Peter Ganns, famous American detective, assists Brendon in his investigations. Brendon meets Robert and the latter shoots at the detective. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY BRENDON demurred. “Remember, I’m not a stranger to him, Ganns. I saw and spoke with him by the pool in Fogginlor Quarry before the murder.” "What of it? You’ve never spoken with him since; and, what’s more, you’ve never seen him since, either. You’ve seen a forgery. It was a forgery that looked at you on your way back to Dartmouth in the moonlight. It was a forgery that robbed the farm for food and lived in the cave and cut Bendigo Redmayne’s throat. If was a forgery that tried to shoot you and missed.” Mr. Ganns took snuff again and continued. “Mind,” cncluded Peter, w r ho had spoken without ceasing for nearly two hours, “I’m not saying that I un right. I’m only saying that, wild though It sounds. It fits and makes a logical story, even though that story beats all experience. It might have happened; and if it didn’t happen, then I’m damned if I know' what lid, or what is happening at this noment.”

"THE DOOR OPENED AND SIGNOR DORIA PUT HIS NOSE IN.” Brendon delayed his answer and his face was racked with many poignant emotions. “I can’t believe it,” he replied at length in a voice which Indicated the extent of his mental amazement and perturbation; “but I shall nevertheless do exactly as you direct. That is well within my power and obviously my duty.” "Good boy! And now we’ll have something to eat. You’ve got it clear? The time is all important.” Mark scanned his notebook in which he had made voluminous entries. Then he nodded and shut it. Suddenly Mr. Ganns laughed. The other’s book reminded him of an incident. “A funny little thing happened yesterday afternoon that I forgot,” he said. "I’d turned in, leaving my notebook by my head, when there came a visitor to my room. I was asleep all right, but my heaviest sleep won’t hold through the noise of a fly on the windowpane; and, lying with my face to the door, I heard a tiny sound and lifted one eyelid. The door opened and Signor Doria put his nose in. Over he came as quiet as a spider, and I let him get within a yard. Then I yawned and shifted. He was gone like a mosquito, and half an hour later I. heard him again. But I got up and he didn’t do more than listen outside. He wanted that book bad —you can guess how bad.” For two days Mr. Ganns declared that he must rest; and then there came an evening when he privately invited Doria to take a walk. “There’s a few things I’d like to put to you.” he said. "You needn't let on to anybody else about It and we won’t start together. You know my favorite stroll up the hill. Meet me at the corner—say 7 o’clock.”

Giuseppe gladly agreed. They ascended the hill side by side and the elder invited Doria’s aid. "Between ourselves.” he began, "I am not too well pleased with the way this inquiry is panning out. In plain words there’s some dope coming between Mark and his work, and I should like to hear what you think of him, you being an Independent witness and a pretty shrewd cuss.” "Marco is in love with my wife,” answered Giuseppe calmly. "That Is what’s the matter with him. And, as I don’t trust my wife in this affair and still believe that she knows more about the red man than anybody else, I think as long as she hoodwinks Brendon. he will be no manner of use to you.” \ Peter pretended to be much , astonished. They proceeded slowly and Peter kept the ball of conversation rolling while he pretended to be very busy with his plans and projects. Then a very strange thing happened. For there stood Robert Redmayne, his great, red head and huge mustache thrusting out of the gloom. He stared qigte motionless. His hands were byWJna sides; the stripes cf his tweed jacket could be seen and the gilt buttons on the familiar led waistcoat. Doria started violently, then stiffened. For a moment he failed to conceal his surprise and cast one look of evident horror and amazement at the apparition. "What’s wrong?” asked Peter. "Did you see him —right in tbe path —Robert Redmayne?” But the other only stared at Giuseppe and peered forward. "I saw nothing,” he said; whereupon like lightning, the Italian’s manner changed. His coripern vanished and he laughed aloud. "What a fool —what a fool am I! It was the shadow of the shrine!” Ganns instantly dismissed the subject and appeared to attach no importance whatever to it; but Doria’s mood was altered. He became less expansive and more alert. “We’ll turn now.” announced Peter half an hour afterward. “You’re a smart lad and you've given me a bright thought or two. We must lecture Mark.”

CHAPTER XVI The Last of the Redmaynes For the night immediately following Dorla's experience at the old shrine, Albert Redmayne and his friend, Virgilio Poggi, had accepted Mark Brendon’s invitation to dine at the Hotel Victoria, where he still stayed. In order that he might enjoy private conversation with Brendon and, at the same time, keep a close watch upon Albert. Ganns had proposed the dinner party at the hotel and directed Brendon to issue the invitation as soon as Redmayne returned home. Wholly unsuspicious. Signor Poggi and Albert appeared in the glory of soft white shirt fronts and rather rusty evening black. A special meal was prepared for their pleasure and the four partook of it in a private chamber at the hotel. Then they adjourned to the smoking room, and anOn, when Poggi and his companion were deep in their all-sufficing subject, Peter, a few yards distant with Mark beside him, related the incident of Giuseppe’s ghost. “You did the trick to a miracle,” he said. “You’re a born actor, my i son, and you came and went and got | away with it just as well as mortal j man could wish, and far better than 1 1 hoped. Well, Doria was fine. We ! stung him all right, and when he ! saw and thought he recognized the : real Robert Redmayne, it got him in ! the solar plexus—l’m doggone sure !of that. For just a moment he ; slipped, but how could he help It? “You see the beauty of his dilem- : ma. If he’d been straight, he’d have : gone for you; but he wasn’t straight. ; He knew well enough that his Robert Redmayne—the forgery—wasn’t on the war-path tonight; and when I said I saw nothing, he pulled himself together and swore he hadn’t either. And the next second he realized what he had done! But too late. I had my hand on my shooting iron in my pocket after that, I can tell you!" Peter then indicated his purpose. “He’ll not guess we’re moving quite so quickly and. by so doing, we anticipate his stroke. That, at least, is what I mean to attempt with your help, if possible. Tonight and tomorrow morning I sleep beside Albert; then you must do so; because, after lunch, I have a meeting with the local police down the lake at Como. The warrant will be waiting for me and I shall return after dark in one of the Urtle black boats if the doganieri. We shall come up with lights out and land at the villa. "Your part will he to keep Albert in sight and watcfi the others.” An hour later the detectives saw Signor Poggi to his boat and then walked home with Mr. Redmayne. Peter had provender concealed about his person and presently he explained to his friend that things were now com© to a climax. At the villa Brendon left them and Jenny welcomed her uncle. The girl begged Mark to come in for a while before returning; but it was late and Mr. Ganns declared that everybody must retire. -> Mark presented himself early on the following day. And it was Jenr.y who first saw him. Then Peter Ganns joined them. "How is uncle?” asked Mr. Redmayne’s niece, and Albert’s friend declared the old book lover found himself indisposed. Ganns then announced his Intention of going later to the town of Como, and he invited Doria and Brendon to accompany him; but Mark, already familiar with the part he had to play, declined, while Giuseppe also declared himself unable to take the trip. “I must make ready to betum to Turin,” he said. "The world does not stand still while Signor Pietro Is catching his red man. I have business, and there Is nothing to keep me here any longer.” After luncheon Mr. Ganns set off

—ln a white walstooat and other adornments; Giuseppe also left the villa, promising to return in a few hours; and Brendon joined Albert In his sleeping apartment. Redmayne was dressed and lying on a couch beside the window. “This subterfuge and simulation of ill health are most painful to me,” ho declared. “I am exceeding well today and all the better for our delightful dinner of last night. For nobody less than dear Peter would I ever sink to pretend anything; It Is contrary to my nature and disposition so to do.” Doria returned for a while during the afternoon. He dramc wine, ate iruit and addressed most of his conversation to Brendon, who spoke with him in the dining room for a while. Jenny said nothing. Then Doria turned to her and bade her pack his clothes. ”1 cannot stop here,” he said when she had gone. “This is no life for a man. Jenny will probably remain with her uncle. She is fed up, as you say, with me. I am very unfortunate, Marco, for I have not in the least deserved to lose her affection.” He departed and Brendon joined Albert Redmayne, to find the old man and grown uneasy and fearful. "I am not happy. Brendon,” he said. “There is coming Into my mind a cloud —a premonition that very dreadful disasters are going to happen to those I love. When does Ganns return?” “Soon after dark, Mr. Redmayne. Perhaps about 9 o’clock we may expect him. Be patient a little longer.”

“It has not happened to me to feel as I do today,” answered the book lover. “A sense of 111 darkens my mind—a suspeclon of finality, and Jenny shares it. Something is amiss. She has a presentiment that it is so." Jenny presently joined them and ail entered the dining room together, where tea was served. They sat long and the shadows were lengthening before the old man returned to his apartments. Then Giuseppe lit one of his Tuscan cigars, took his hat and left the house. “At lastl” whispered Jenny, her face lighting in relief. “He will be gone for a good two hours now and we can talk.” “Not here, then,” Mark answered. “Let us go into the garden. Then I can see when the man comes back.” Presently Ernesto came and turned on an electric bulb that hung over the scrolled iron work of the outer gate. Then they were alone again, and the woman threw off all shadow of reserve and restraint. "Thank God you can listen at last,” she said, then poured out a flood of entreaties. He was swept from every mental hold, drowned in the torrent of her petitions, baffled and bewildered one moment, filled with joy in the next. For an hour she spoke and detailed all she had been called upon to endure. Brendon listened with a rapture that was almost Incredulous; for she loved him at last and desired nothing better than to come to him and forget the double tragedy that had ruined her young life.
