BY nine o'clock the Italian had
started homeward, and as soon as he

A constable drove him and before
setting out he told the local chief of

regions in the neighborhood.
He inclined to the belief that the
hunted man might sooner trust the

gate beside which Robert Redmayne
had appeared on the previous night.
There they left the motor and en-
tered Black Woods together.
Bendigo still talked of his niece
and continued to do so. 1t was
subject on which the other proved
very willing to listen.
She's at the parting of the ways

Mark asked a question.
