Investigator. has charge sof the case,
Jenny goes TO live with her uncle,
Bendigo Rcdmayne. Robert. in hid.
! ing, sends for Bendigo to come to a
secret cave. Both men disappear
and there is evidence of terrible
struggle in the cave.
Jenny marries Giuseppe Doria,
who works for Bendigo, and they go
to live in Italy where Jenny's uncle,
Albert Redmayne. lives.
Peter Cams, famous American de-
!ective, assists Brendon in the invcs-
legations.
Cams arrenges an arrest of Doria,
Jenny is k.lled when she throws
herself in frort Of her husband and
receives the bullet meant for him
when he tries to escape. Now so on
with the story.
Nothing az present was positive
~ known by me which made it out
OF the question that Joseph Pen
deans wife should be the mothe, OF
Giuseppe Doria. But none III, less
many facts might exist as yet be-
yOnd my knowledge. which would
prove such a suspicion vain. l con
sidered how to obtain these facts
and naturally my thought turned to
Giuseppe himself.
Having found out what Penzance
could tell me, i beat it up to Dart
mouth, because l was exceedingly
anxious to learn. if possible, the ex-
act date when Giuseppe Doria en-
tered the employment of BenGigo
Redmayne as motor boatman. Al
bert's brother hadn't any friends that
1 could find: but l traced his doctor
and. though he was not in a position
to enlighten me, he knew another
man - an innkeeper at Tor-crosS,
some miles away on the coast-who
might be familiar with this vital
date.
Mr.. Noah Blades proved a very
shrewd and capable chap. Bendigo
Redmayne had known him well, and
it was after spending a week at the
Tor-cross Hotel with Blades and 60
ing fishing in his motor boat, that the |
old sailor had decided to start one
himself at Crows Nest He did SO |
and his first boatman was failure.
Then he advertised for another and
received a good many applications.
He'd sailed with Italians and liked
them on a ship, and he decided foc
Giuseppe Doria, whose testimonials
appeared to be exceptional. The man
came along and, two days after his
arrival, ran Bendigo down to Tor
cross in his launch TO see Blades.
"Redmayne, of course, was full of
the murder at Princetown, which had
just occurred, and the tragedy
proved so interesting that Blades
had little time to notice the new mo-
tor boatman. But what matters is
that we know it was on the day after
the murder on the very day Ben
1igo heard what his brother, Robert,
was supposed to have done at Fog
gintor Quarry-that his new man,
Giuseppe Doria, arrived at Crows
Nest and took on his new duties.
That meant that not pcndcan,
but his wife's uncle. Robert Red
nayne. persisted on Dartmoor. And
there he lies yet. my son!"
Mr.. Cams took snuff and pro-
,eeded.
Here, think. we may spare
tribute of admiration TO Pendants
listrionies. Both he and his wife
we're heaven born comedians as well
Is hell-born criminals.
That he will leave full statement
before the end, venture to pro-
1hesy. His egregious vanity demands
t. You may even expect something
| little new in the suicide line if they
rive him n chance; for be sure he's
hought Of that.
"And now I'll indicate how /
