Then they ascended into a large, octagonal chamber, like the lantern of a light- touse, which surmounted the dwell. ing. “My lookout,” explained Mr. Red- mayne. “In foul weat 1 spend all my time up here and with yonder strong, three-inch telescope I can pick up what's doing at sea. A bunk up in the corner, you see. 1 often sleep up here, too.” “You might almost as well be afloat,” said Brendon, and the remark pleased Bendigo. “That's how I feel! and I can tell you there's a bit of movement, too sometimes, 1 never wish to see big- ger water than beat these cliffs dur- ing the south-easter last March. We shook to our keel, I can tell you.” He went to a tall cupboard in a corner, unlocked it and brought out a square, wooden desk of old-fash- foned pattern. This he opened and ‘produced a letter which he handed to the detective. Brendon sat down in a chair under the open window and read this com- munication slowly. The writing was lurge and sprawling: it sloped siightly upward from left to right across the sheet and left a triangle of white at the right-hand bottom “Dear Ben: It's all over. I've done in Michael Pendean and put him where only Judgment Day will find him. Something drove me to do it: but all the same I'm sorry fow it's done—not for him but myself. 1 shall clear tonight, with, luck, for France.

Bendigo nodded. “] reckoned you'd want that.” answered and produced a second let- ger from his desk. 1t related to Robert engagement to be married writing was identical. “And what do you think he's done, Mr." Redmayne?” Brendon asked, pocketing the two communications. “] think he's done what he ‘noped to do.
