Have you no more to say?” “No more,” said Malcolm Finley. "I have,” said the nurse. "It wis either Mr. Finley or Mrs. Raynor who fired that shot”’ CHAPTER IV Detective Dobbins If Ezra Goddard had followed the sea. he would have l>een the sort of sailor who Is dubbed able seaman. If he had chosen the ministry as a career, he would have been known as an eminent ill vine. Had he pitched on the legal profession, he : would have been si-iken of as a- - lawyer. Or had he been an an- j tiler, lie would most certainly hate attained the rank of celebrated nov j v-list. Moreover, if he had bent his tali en’s and energies to the science of i sleuthing, he would have risen rap idly ti. the height if Transcendent Detective, and would have become famous. tw But detective he was not, foe though possessed of the necessary perspicacity and perspicuity, lie had ! had no training or experience, and i knew little or nothing of fingerprint work or of third-degree ptac- I tice. So it was really owing more to his inherent generalship titan to his deductive .ibility tli.it he stepped forward and :ssuu and control of the entire situation. His efficiency :n emergency was well nigh 100 per cent, and within fifteen minutes of the discovery of Douglas Ravnor's death, Goddard had sent w >rd to the family physician. the county medical examiner and the local police. And within an I hour they had all arrived. Doctor Saxton came tlrst. Though lie was the family physieiar.. he had rarely been called to Flower .Acres, for there had been little illness in the household. When Douglas Raynor began to get faddy about tis diet, he sought advice from various well advertised books, and. Liter, had decided on the employment of a resident dietitian. Miss Turner was by no treens the first of these. > indeed, she was merely the present I in. rnnbent, and was *lr.-ady slated far dismissal by her patient. But. being present, and fa ing a graduate nurse. Doctor Saxton itnmediatelv sx.okc to her profession ally, and seemed to rely on her assistance She came to him tremblingly, and I with an obvious aversion to touch j inp or even looking at the dead body i of her late patient. "Shot through the heart.” the doe I tor said, filter a brief investigation, i "Who did it?” To this direct question there was > no answer. Miss Turner compressed j her lips into a straight, unspeaking ! line, while the others present, who were huddled round the sides of the : sun room, gave only aghast, wondering looks at the doctor. Held by some fascination of hor ror. they had all remained in the presence of the dead. Goddard had advised it, and the rest had inertly j obeyed. Nancy. lir hand clasped in her | brother's, was half reclining in a long chair, while Miss Mattie sat bolt j upright, eagerly watching every- \ thing that transpired. Malcolm Finley, sat, with folded j arms and a calm, inscrutable face, his gray eyes moving slowly from, the dead victim of the tragedy to the living wife and back again. From his scrutiny of the livid face and contorted muscles of Raynor Doctor Saxton at last lifted a puzzled countenance to the group of anxious spectators. "There are strange conditions here." he said, “most peculiar, inexplicable conditions. Had Douglas Raynor any enemies?" He glanced around the room, ard. as no else spoke, Ezra Goddard j said: "In view of the fact that someone shot and killed him I think we may logically assume that he had.” The tingle of Irony was slight, but | quit*- enough to annoy the doctor. "Not at all. sir. It is perfectly I possible that the shooting might i have been an accident, or—a sui- | ctde.” “Oh, was it? Do you think that?” I Nan spoke rapidly. In jerky accents, ! as if surprised but not displeased at \ this suggestion. "I can't say yet. Mrs. Eavnor.

This is not tlm time | or place for any revelation, theory ;or suspicion. In fact, I ask all of ; you to say nothing cleflnite or vital t until the examiner and the iV-toc-i fives get here." "1 shall say what I choose," an i nounced Nan. “and r say ” "My dear Mrs. Itaynor," Goddard spoke quietly, hut. lookeil :tt her with •teatly gaze, ‘‘just relied a moment on the fact, that quite aside from yourself, what you would sav might affect others in a way for which you would he sorry.” "What do you mean?" she said. "It doesn't matter what I mean, hut it might matter a groat deal what you say, so 1 ask you. I beg of you, to say nothing.” Ills Insistence won the day, and .Van said no more, except now and then In a whisper to Orry. And so. when Doctor Fraser, the examiner, came, everybody was timed out of the room except Nurse Turner. The others filed into the large Uvng room, and seated themselves. Malcolm Finley, almost gave way to his strong desire to sit hy tho side of Nancy, hut compelled himself to conquer It. and crossed the room to sit beside Miss Mattie. She, however, was so pointedly cold and distant of manner, that Finley turned aside and began talking to Goddard. "I hope a fairly decent detective will be sent,” he said: "for this is not a case to be bungled.” "It Is not, indeed." Goddard assented: “I only hope the doctors can prove it a suicide." 'Why?” cried Nan. "Suicide is the deed of a coward —and Douglas was never that!” “No, he was not,” Goddard said, “yet 1 wish it might have been—for a murder mystery is a long, hard road to travel.” “It’s murder —but It's no mystery.” These words were spoken by Miss Mattie. She looked straight at Nan, and though Site said no more
