BEGIN HERE TODAY


Michael Pcndean, husband of
Jenny, disappears and Robert Red
maync, uncle to Jenny, is suspected
of murder. Mark Brendon, criminal
Investigator, is in charge of the
case. Robert roams at large.
Jenny goes to live with her uncle,
Bendigo Redmayne. Robert visits
Bcndigo's ncighbornood and sends
for his brother to meet him in a
nearby cave. Giuseppe Doria takes
his master to the meeting place 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 60
o live in Italy, where Jcnny's uncle,
Albert Rcdmayne, lives. When ko-
bert is seen in Italy Brendon and
Peter Cams, famous American de-
tective, renew Investigations.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"None whatever. Doria is amaz-
ingly handsome and attractivc-thc
type woman generally worships. I
grant that Italo- English marriages
are not remarkable for their success;
but-well, no doubt Jcnny's husband
lis worldly-wise. He has everything
to gain by being good, everything to
lose by behaving badly. Jenny is a
proud girl. Iihope, 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
hall about that" ft,
ENTIRELY. Besides it seems that
one of your countrymen has secured
the castle at Dolccaqua and bought
the title too. Giuseppe was very en-
pertaining on the subject. But I'm
afraid he loves idleness."
| Before luncheon Mark Brendon re-
turned from the hills with his guide
They had seen nothing of Robert
Redmayne and appeared to be rath-
err weary Of one another's company
"You must impart your wisdom
|
said Giuseppe to Mr.. Cams, when
Brendon was out of earshot with
Jenny. "He is very dull dog and
does not even listen when talk
Not 'simpatico, suppose. He will
never find out anything. Will you,
| wonder? Have you any ideas? A
new broom sweeps clean, as you
say"
"a very cute notion" declared
Peter. well rope you in, Giuseppe.
Between you and me and the post,
our friend Brendon has been barking
up the wrong tree, you know. But
if you and and he, together, can,
clean this up, then we're not the
men / take US for"
Doria laughed.
1t was not until after the midday
meal that Cams 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 expert
ences. The interview proved painful
to the younger, for he found that
Peters doubts were cleared in GER
tain directions.
"Do you begin to see any light ?"
asked Mark.
\ "Not much upon the main prob
lem. A minor feature has cleared,
however. l know the rock you split
upon, my son. You were in love with
Jenny Pendean from the moment
you knew that she was 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 al that case is concerned"
1--WE know some things without
proof and are proud to- take them
on trust" answered Brendon. "Have
not seen Mrs. Doria under afflic-
tion 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 herr"
well, do not ask much; but
since ] have picked up this thing
for Albert's sake, there's one point
on which insist. II 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 can't
work with you, Mark"
"You wrong her, but that doesn't
matter, suppose. What does mat
] ter is that you wrong me-" said
Brendon, with fieEre eyes fixed up
