NOW GO 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 Assunta
see him also?"
"That was the first thing l found
out. hoped she had not. That
would have saved the situation in Il
way and proved it was only some
picture of the mind. But she saw
him clearly enough. She heard him
too. When l cried out he leapcd
away into the woods"
Mr.. Rcdmayne lighted cigar
which he took from box on a little
table by the open hearth. He drew
several deep breaths before he spoke
again.
"This is very disluieting cir
cumstance and greatly wish it had
not happened" he sail. There may
be no cause for alarm; but, on the
other hand, when we consider the
disappearance of my brother Ben
digo, have right 20 feel fear"
"You must not stop here tonight"
she said. "You must cross to Bel
lagio and stay with Signor Poggi
until We know more"
1--WE 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
designed to visit me in September,
has already arrived in England; and
when he hears of this ugly sequel
to the story confided in his ears
last winter, l am bold to elieye
that he will hasten to me immedi-
ately and not hesitate to modify his
plans"
'I'm sure he WILL" declared
Jenny.
write me two letters" continued
Albert. zone to Mr.. Mark Brendor,
the young detective from Scotland
Yard, of whom l entertained a 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 af-
fairs allow. Also bid Giuseppe to
return to you Immediately. He will
serve to protect us, for he is fear
less and resolute."
But Jenny showed no Joy at this
suggestion.
II was to have had peaceful
month with you," she pouted.
$50 indeed hoped; but it can
hardly be peaceful now and con.
TESS that the presence of Doria
would go some way to compose my
nerves. He is powerful, cheerful,
and full of resource. He is also
brave"
Jenny had left Doria for a time
and apparently felt no, desire to see
him again until her promised visit
to her uncle should be ended.
II heard from Giuseppe three
days ago." she said. "He has left
Ventimiglia and gone to, Turin,
where he used to work and where
he has many friends. He has a pro-
ject."
Albert spoke again.
Tonight 60 across the water to
Bellagio and you come with me. It
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 to
the landing stage of Bellagio and
they soon reached the dwelling of
Albert's friend, who welcomed their
with an equal measure of surprise
and delight.
Signor Poggi, small, fat, man
with bald head, broad b:ow, and
twinkling eyes. graspcd their hands
and listened with wonder to tn. 1ea-
son for their. arrival.
At nine o'clock next morning MIR.
Redmayne and Jenny were rowcd
home again, only to i1ea: that no in
truder hadsbroken upon the nightly
peace of Villa Pianezzo. Nor did The
day bring any news. Once more
they repaired to Bc!lagio before
dark, and for three days lived thus.
Then there came telegram from
Turin to say that Dora was return

soon be expected win Milan. wL;la
