/, Pendean, husband of Roberts niece
.Iciny. Mark BrendOn, famous Grim.
! inal investigator, is in charge of the
case. Jenny goes to live with her uncle
Bendigo Redmayne.
Brendon sees Robert in the woods
near Bendigo's home but fails to cap.
| ture him. Robert sends word to Ben.
| digo to came alone to nearby cave.
Giuseppe Doria, who works for Ben
digo, takes his master to the meeting
place. When Doria goes to bring Ben
digO home he finds the cave empty
and signs of terrible struggle. Jenny
marries Doria and they go to live in
Italy, where Jenny's uncle Albert Red
mayne, lives. Robert appears in the
neighborhood of Albert's home. Now
so on with the story.
"What did you do!"
II made fool of myself" con-
fessed Jenny. "Assunta says that /
cried out very loud and then toppled
over and tainted. When / came round
there was nothing to be seem"
The point is then: did Assume
see him also!"
THAT was the first thing l found
out. | hoped she had not. That
would have saved the situation in a
way and proved it was only some pic
ture of the mind. But she saw hiip
clearly enough. She heard him, too.
When / cried out he Ieaped away into
the woods"
Mr.. Redmayne lighted cigar which
he took from box on Il little table
by the open hearth. He drew several
deep breaths before he spoke again.
This is very disquieting circum-
stance and l greatly wish it had he:
happened" he said. 'There may be no
cause for alarm but, on the other
hand, when we consider the disappear
ance of my brother Bcndigo, / have q
right to feel fear"
You must not stop here tonight
she said. You must cross to BellagiO
and stay with Signor Poggi until we
know more"
I'VE shall see as TO that. Prepare
tea and leave me for half an hour
TO reflect"
In half an hour Jenny returned
with Mr.. Redmayne's tea.
Providence is, think. upon our
side, pretty one he began. for my
amazing friend, Peter Cams, who de-
signed to visit me in September. has
already arrived in England; and when
he hears of this ugly sequel TO the
story / confidej in his ears last win
ter, l am bold to believe that he will
hasten to me Immediately and no:
hesitate to modify his plans"
I'm sure he WILL declared Jenny.
Write me two letters continued
Albert. 'One to Mr.. Mark Brendon
the young detective from Scotland
Yard. of whom [ entertained n high
opinion; and also write to your hus-
band. Direct Brendon to approach
Peter Cams and beg them both to
come to me as quickly as their affairs
allow. Also bid Giuseppe to return to
you Immediately. He will serve to pr.-
tect us, for he is fearless and reso
lutte"
But Jenny showed no joy at this
suggestion.
Il was TO have had n peaceful
month with you," she pOuted.
$50 indeed | hoped; but il can
hardly be peaceful now and | confess
that the presence of DOria would 90
some way to compose my nerves. He
is powerful. cheerful. and full of re-
source. He is also brave"
Jenny had left Doria for time anu
apparently felt no desire to see him
again until her promised visit to her
uncle should be ended.
81 heard from Giuseppe three days
ago" she said. HE has left Vent
miglia and gone to Turin. where he
used to work and where he has many
friends. He has n project"
Albert spoke again.
Tonight | go across the water to
Bellagio and you come with me. 1t is
impossible that Robert should know
we are there"
Jenny wrote the letters and posted
them; then she packed for her uncle
and herself.
A boatman quickly rOwed them t"
the landing stage of Bellagio and they
soon reached the dwelling of Alberts
friend, who welcomed them with an
