SATERFIELD " 3 SORYRINNT INER THE MEHLLAN SONPANY RELLASED By NEA SERVICE INC, ARRGT.MET MEWSR BV8 ——— BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendon, famous eriminal ia- yestigater, is taking heliday on Dart moor and is engaged by Jenny Pen dean te sohve the mystery of her hus- tand's disappearance Michae! Pen dean is last seen W the campany of Jenny's uncle, Robvert Redmayne when the twe go to work on & new hbungalow for the Pendeans near Vog- gintor Quarry Rloed 1s found on the fleor of the cottage and several witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on his motor bieyele with a heavy sack | behind the saddle A report comes that Redmayne has visited his boarding house since the disappearance of Michae A cement sack from the new hungalow is found in & rabbit hole at a far distance from the scene of the mystery NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An hour later Mark Frendon had packed a bag and started in a police motor car for Palgnton He called at Robert Redmayne's| lodgings after he had eaten some sup- per at the Singer Hotel There he had taken a room, that he might see and hear something of the vanished | man's future wife and her family, At No. 7 Marine Terrace the landlady, a | Mrs, Medway, could say little, Cap- | taln Redmayne was a genjal, kind- hearted, but hot-headed gentleman, she told Mark, Brendon examined the motor bi. cycle with meticulous care, There ‘was a rest behind the saddle made of fron bars, and here he detected stains of blood. A fragment of tough string tied to the rest was also stained, Later in the day Brendon returned to his hotel and introduced himself to Miss Reed and her family to find that her brother, Robert Redmayne's friend, had returned to London, She and her parents were sitting together in the lounge when he joined them. All three appeared to be much shocked and painfully mystified. None could throw any light. Mr. and Mre. Reed were quiet, elderly people who kept a draper shop in London; thelr daughter revealed more charac- ter, “Did you ever hear Captain Red- mayne speak of his niece and her husband?”’ Brendon inquired, and Flora Reed answered: “He did; and he always said that Michael Pendean was a ‘shirker' and a coward. He also assured me that he had done with his niece and should never forgive her for marrying her ‘husband. But that was before Bob went to Princetown, six days ago. From there he wrote quite g different story. He had met them by chance and he found that Mr. Pendean had not shirked but had done good work in the war and got the O. B. E." “You have neither seen nor heard of the captain since?"" “Indeed, no. My last letter, which you can see, came three days ago. In it he merely said he would be back yesterday and meet me to bathe a- usual I went to bathe and loolc . out for him, but of course he didn't come." “Tell me a little about him, Miss Reed,” sald Mark. ‘“Captain Red- mayns, I hear had suffered fromshell shock‘and a breath of poison gas also. Did you ever notice any signs thas these troubles had left any mark upon | him?" ‘'Yes,” she answered. “We all did. My mother was the first to. point out that Bob often repeated himself.” “Was he a man you can conceive ot as capable of strikipg or killing a fellow creature?.’ The lady hesitated. “T only want to help him,” she an- swered. ‘‘Therefore I say that, given sufficlent provocation, I can imagine Bob's temper flaring out, and I can see that it would have been possible to him, in a moment of passion ,to strike down a man. He had. seen much death and was himself abso- lutely fadifferent to danger. Yes, I can imagine him doing an enemy, or fancied enemy, a hurt; but what I cannot imagine him doing is what he is supposed to have done afterward— evade the consequences of a mistaken .act.” ®pnd yet we have the strongest tes- fimony that he has trled to conceal & murder—whether committed by Dbimselt, or somebody else, we cannot yet say” “T only hope and pray, for all our sakes, that you will find him,” she replied, “dbut if, Indeed, he has been betrayed into such an awful crime, I do not think you will find him.” “Why not, Miss Reed?

Mrs, Pendean pointed to the man in the bows. He sat upright with his back to them at the wheel forward. He had taken off his hat and was singing very gently to himself, but hardly loud enough to be heard against the drone o the engines, His song was from an early opera of Verdl, “Have you noticed that man?" Mark shook his head. “He is an Itallan. He comes from Turin but has worked in England for some time,” She called to the boatman. “Stand out g mile or so, Doria," she said. “I wint Mr. Brendon to see the coast line.” “Aye, aye, ma'am,” he answered and altered their course for the open sea. He had turned at Jenny Pendean's voice and shown Mark a brown, bright, clean-shorn face of great beauty. “Giuseppe Doria has a wonderful story about himself,” continued Mrs. Pendean. “Uncle Ben tells me that he claims descent from a very ancient family and is the last of the Dorias of—1I forgot—some place near Venti- miglia.” K The boat turned west presently, passed a panorama of cliffs and littie bays with sandy beaches, and anon skirted higher and sterner precipices, which leaped six hundred feet along. Perched among them like a bird's nest stood a small house with win- dows that blinked out over the Chan, nel. It rose to a tower room in the midst, and before the front there stretched a plateau, whereon stood a flagstaff and spar, from the point of which fluttered a red ensign. The motor launch slowed down and presently grounded her’ bow on the pebbles. Then Doria stopped the en- DOINGS OF THE DUFFS $ALESMAN $AM AREM! % [\ B o fi; ‘:mm‘:fifi BLA BLA-BLNY TUESDAY, JUN F0e, Sung & seagway stage ashere, | S84 stead by 10 hand Jeany )‘rnvltdh“ 454 the detective to the bheach The At apprared 1o have ne exit; but, | behingd & ledge of veck, slairs chrved | 5 1he stone wound upward, guarded By a8 iren handrall.

If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub- jecti to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avold and undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure wa- ter. Rheumatism is caused by uric acld or body waste matter, and 1s often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a meaps of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus foreing the kidneys to do double work; they be- come weak and sluggish and fall to eliminate this toxic acld, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the i joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove = waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon julce, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
