charge of the case.
Jenny goes to live with her uncle,

to live in Italy. where Jenny's uncle,
Albert Redmayne lives. When Rob
CRIT is seen in Italy. Brendon and
the famous American detective. Peter
Cams. renew Investigations. Now so
on with the story.
"On the contrary l want you both, -
he answered. Il attach very great
weight to the hints you have given
mc--not only for mr. sake but for
your own. The end is not yet as far
as you're concerned. Jenny, for your
welfare is more to me than anything
else in the world-you know it. Trust
me to prove that presently. But
other things come first. 1 must do
what I am here to do. before / am
free to do what / long TO do"
Il trust you--and only you" she
said. I'm all this bcwilderment and
misery. you are Sow the only stead
fast rock to which | can cling. Don't
desert me. that's all I ask
"Never. All that's best in me shall
be devoted 10 you, thankfully and
proudly--now that you have wished
it. Trust me, I say again. Call
your husband. | want TO tell you
both what happened to me yester-
day.
Again she hesitated and gazed in
tently upon him.
"Are you sure that you are wise?
Would Mr.. Cams like you TO tell
Doria anything"

have heard me-"
Again he longed TO confide in her
and show her that he understood the
truth; but two considerations shut
his mouth: the thought of Peter
Ganns and the reflection that the
more Jenny knew, the greater
might be her own peril. This last

Call him. We must not let him
think that we have anything of

though | have let you know my own
secret" she murmured, preparing to
obey him.
IF / keep anything from you. it is
for your own good--for your own
security" he replied.
She left him then ard in few mo-
ments returned with her husband.
He was full of curiosity andN under
his usual assumption of cheerfulness
Brenton preceived considerable anxi-

Your face is solemn n. raven and
you walked stiffly ms you came TO
the door. I saw you from the silk
worms. What has happened?
"I've had squeak of my lifc."
replied Mark, and I've made a stu

tention 10 what I'm going to tell
you. Doria. for we can't say who is
in danger now and who is not. The
shot that very near.y ended my
career yesterday might just as east
ly have been aimed at you, had you
been in my place"
a shot? Not the red man? 4

fired upon me and missed by a
miracle
Jenny uttered an exclamation Of

her breath.
Brendon told the story in every de-
