"The Italian"
Gle is gentleman, Mr.. Brcndon
"a great gentleman, you might say.
do not Understand him very we'll
But l am safe with him. He would
do nothing base or small. He conf
fided in me when first l came. He
then had dream to find rich
| wife, who would love him and enable
| him to restore the castle of the Dor
ia in Italy and build up the family
again. He is full Of romance and
has such energy and queer, magnc-
tic power that l can quite believe
he will achieve his hopes some day"
"Does he still possess this ambi-
tion?"
Jenny was silent for moment. !
Her eyes looked out of the window !
over the restless sea.
"Why not?" she asked.
"He is, l should think, a man
that women might fall in love with"
"Oh yes-he is amazingly hand
some and there are fine thoughts in
him"
Mark felt disposed to warn her
but felt that any counsel from him
would be, an impertnence. She
seemed to read his mind, however.
81 shall never marry again." she
said.
Nobody would dare to ask you
to do somebody knows all that you
have been called to suffer. Not for
many long day yet, | mean,' he
answered awkwardly. :.
"You understand,' she replied and
took his hand impulsively. "ThSn
is a great gulf think fixed between
us Anglo-SaXons and the Latins.
Their minds move far more swiftly
than ours. They are more hungry to
get everything possible out of life.
Doria is child in many ways; but
a delightful, poetical child. l think
England rather chills him; yet heI
Italy. He longs for Italy all the
same. l expect he will go home
again presently. He will leave Uncle
Ben in the spring-so he confides
to me, but do not whisper it, for my
uncle thinks highly of him and
would hate to lose him. He can do
everything and anticipates our wish
es and whims in the most magical
way"
"Well, 1 must not keep you any
longer"
Indeed you are not doing that. |
am very, very glad to see you, Mr..
Brendon. You are going to stop for
dinner? We always dine in the mid-t
die of the day." (
MAY II"
"You must. And tea also. Come
up to Uncle Bendigo now. I'll leave
you with him for an hour. Then
dinner will be ready. Giuseppe al
ways joins US. You won't mind?"
"The last of the Doria! I've pro-
badly never shared meal with such
high company"
She led him up the flight of stairs
to the old sailors sanctum.
"Mr. Brendon to Sc US, Uncle
Ben," she said and Mr.. Redmayne
took his eye from. the big tele-
scope.
"A blows coming" he announced
winds shifted a point to south
ward. Dirty weather already in tie
Channel"
They shook hands and Jenny dis
appeared. Bendigo was pleased to
see Brendon, but his interest in his
brother had apparently waned He
avoided the subject of Robert Red
mayne, though he revealed other
matters in his mind which he NJ
preached with direetncss that
rather astonished the detective.
"lm a rough bird,' he said, "but
l keep my weather pepper open, and
l didn't find it difficult to see, when
YOU were here in the summer, that
my fine niece took your fancy. She's
the sort, apparently, that makes
men lose their balance bit.
"At this minute Pm in sight of a
very vexatious problem; because my
right hand-Giuseppc Doria-has
got his eyes on Jenny; and though
he's priceless as single man and
| she's invaluable as single woman,
ii the bcggar gets round her and
makes her fall in love with him
presently, then they'll be married
next year and that's goodby to both
of 'em!"
{ Mark found himself good deal
embarf assed by this confidence.
II rather thought he was out for
money-enough money to re-estab-
lish the vanished glories of his
race"
$50 he. was and, of course, he
knows he can't do that with Jenny's
twenty thousand; but love casts out
a good many things besides fear. 1t
blights ambition-for the time being
anyway-and handicaps a man OH
every side in the race for life. All
Doria wants now is Jenny Pendcan,
and he'll get her if Pm judge.
wouldn't mind too much either, if
they could stop along with me and
go on as we're going; but of course
that wouldn't happen"
