((t 3W we get to blindman’s buff with the forgery. Fol- ■*■ low each step. Bendigo never sees his supposed brother once; you never see him again, our united search through the woods is futile; but Jenny and her husband in the motor boat bring news of him. Robert must see Bendigo all alone —and he must have food and a lamp in his secret hiding place. "Well, it’s fixed up and Ben decides to meet his brother after midnight, alone; but the old sailor's pluck wavers—who shall blame him?—and he arranged in secret with you that you should be hidden in his tower room when Robert Redmayne comes to keep the appointment. “Now the next thing puzzled me for a moment; but I think I know what happened. Only Pendean’s final statement, if he ever makes one, will serve to clear the point; but I can Juess that at that first interview with Ben he tumbled to the fact that you were hidden in the tower room. , “That being so, his own plans had to be tifodified pretty extensively. Whether he meant to finish off Ben that night, you can’t be sure; but there is very little doubt of it. Everything was planned. “Now we get another lifelike report of runaway Robert; and finally Bendigo consents to visit him in his hiding plaoc. The lamp is going to burn and show the - pa-S >cular cave on that honeycombed coast wnere Bendigo’s brother is supposed to be concealed. Another night comes and Ben goes to his death. “Two Redmaynes have gone to their account and there remains but one. Meantime the course of true love runs smoothly and Dorla marries his wife again.”

CHAPTER XVIII. Confession. During the autumn assizes, Michael Pendean was tried at Exeter aiid condemned to death for the murders of Robert, Bendigo and Albert Redmayne. He offered no defense and he was only impatient to return to his seclusion within the red walls of the county ja£, where he occupied the brief balance of his days with just such a statement as Peter Ganns had foretold that he would seek to make. This extraordinary document was very characteristic of the criminal. Here is his statement, word for word as he wrote it. MY APOLOGIA. “Hearken, ye judges! There is another madness besides, and it is before the deed. Ah! Ye have not gone deep enough into this soul! Thus speaketh the red judge: ‘Why did this criminal commit murder? He meant to rob.’ I tell you, however, that his soul hungered for blood, not booty; he thirsted for the happiness of the knife!” And again: “What is this man? A coil of wild serpents at war against themselves —so they are driven apart to seek their prey in the world.”

“I HURLED HIM OVER THE CLIFF.” So wrote one whose art and wisdom are sought to this rabbit-brained generation; but it was given to me to find my meat and drink within his pages and to see my own youthful impressions reflected and crystallized with the brilliance of genius In his stupendous mind. Remember, I, who write, am not 30 years old.

Asa young man without experience I sometimes asked myself if : some spirit from another order of | beings than my own had not been slipped into my human carcass. It seemed to me that none with whom > I came in contact was built on, or ! near, my own pattern, for I had only met one person as yet—my mother —- who did not suffer from the malady of a bad conscience. father and i his friends wallowed in this complaint. At 15 years of age I killed a man, and found, in a murder undertaken for very definite reasons, a thrill beyond expectation. That incident is unknown; the death of my father’s foreman. Job Trevose, has not been understood till now. He lived at Paul, a village upon the heights nigh Penzance. Among the fish-curing sheds one day, unseen, I chanced to hear Trevose speak of my mother to another man and declare that she did evil and dishonored my father. From that moment I doomed Trevose to death and, some weeks later, after many failures to win the right conditions, caught him alone in a sea fog. I walked beside him for fifty paces, than fell behind, leaped at his neck and hurled him qver the cliff in an instant. My life proceeded orderly: I chose the profession of dentist, as being likely to introduce me to people of a more interesting type than my father’s acquaintance: and I kept an open mind for myself, but a shut mind for others. The brainless Robert Redmayne brought his niece to spend her school holiday with him and I discovered in the 17-year-old schoolgirl a magnificent and pagan simplicity of mind, combined with a Greek loveliness of body that created in me a convulsion. We loved one another devotedly from the first understanding. Her grandfather still lived, when I first met her, and the extent or disposition of his wealth seldom entered our calculations. But a year passed; Jenny was ready to wed me and begin life as my twin star; while I longed for her with a great longing. The situation cleared; her grandfather died; she would presently be the possessor of ample means and I already enjoyed an income from the business of Pendean and Trecarrow. Then came the war and the sentence of death incidantlly pronounced by that event upon the brothers Redmayne. Their own folly and lack of vision were alone responsible. I did not argue with them; it was enough that Jenny swiftly awakened to even a bitterer hatred and a deeper fury of resentment than myself. They had roused the sleeping tempest and our lightning now became only a question of time. I evaded actice service with a heart drug, as did some thousands of other intelligent men. I kept a whole skin, stopped at home and received for my share the Order of the British Empire instead of a nameless grave. It was easy enough. Meantime we volunteered and our record of service at Prlncetown Moss Depot is not to be assailed. Already my future intention was coloring my life. I grew a beard, wo glasses and pretended delicacy of constitution; for after the war was done I intended murdering three men, and I proposed to do so in such a manner that society would find it Impossible to associate me with the crimes. We pretended an affection for Dartmoor. As an example of our farreaching methods I may relate how we returned to the wilderness after the war was done and actually began to build a bungalow upon it, which, needless to say, we never had the least intention of occupying. I had designed first to destroy Bendigo and Albert Redmayne, who had never seen me, and finally deal with my old friend, Robert; but it was he who came at the critical moment as a lamb to the slaughter and so inspired the superb conception now familiar to the civilized world.

The time was ripe to pluck these men who had insulted and outraged me; and when Bendigo Redmayne advertised for a motor boatman, the challenge was accepted. I forged certain foreign letters of commendation. He liked Italians, from experience of them aboard ship, and he appreciated n y letter and my imaginary war rc-cord. What was the next step? An entreaty from Jenny that I should shave my beard! She begged again and again and appealed to Robert, who supported her. I withstood them until the day of his destruction. Upon that morning I appeared without it and they congratulated me. Other trifling preliminaries there were. On one occasion, when my wife rode down to Plymouth with her uncle on his motor bicycle, she left him to do some shopping and, visiting Burnell’s the theatrical costumer, she purchased a red wig for a woman. At home again she transferred it into a red wig for a man. Meantime I had made a pair of large mustaches, helping myself when Mrs. Gerry, our landlady, was out of the way to hair from the brush of one of her stuffed foxes, color exactly resembled the rufous adornments of Robert Redmayne. When we started on his motor cycle, after tea, to do some work at the bungalow, I took a handbag containing my costume as Giuseppe Doria—a plain, blue serge suit, coat, waistcoat and trousers and yachtman’s cap. I also carried a tool—the little instrument with which I murdered the three Redmaynes. It resembled the head of a butcher’s poleax, of great weight with the working end sharpened. I made it in a forge at Southampton and it lies today under the waters of Como. My tag I had taken on previous occasions to the quarry, with a bottle of v.'hisky and glasses, so Robert thought it not strange that I should do so again. We started for Fogsrintor and it was still broad daylight when we got there. I had already studied the quarry and determined on Robert Redmayne s resting place. You wijl find him—and the suit of clothes I was wearing tflat evening—in the moraine, where it opens fanwise l.'om the cliff above and spreads into the bottom beneath. Arrived at the bungalow, Robert’s

PESKY BED BUGS

Bedbugs lay an average of seven eggs per day. Under favorable conditions they hatch in five days of which two-thirds are females. They mature to adult size and are capable of laying in four weeks. How many bedbugs would you have in a year if you left one female or egg unmolested for one yeas? To rid the peaky bedbug, you readily see how necessary it ia to use a preparation that will kill the eggs aa well as the lire ones. k- D.
