Drtf-otive Dobbins heads the police investigation An autopsy reveals that Raynor was being systematically poisoned by arsenic. and Nancy is suspected as the poisoner of her brutal husband. Dobbins comes to tnten'irw Nancy, but is Intercepted by Goddardy. NOW lio ON WITH THE STORY • pp'jHAT’S all right. Mr. Dobbins J I —and I’ll make you this e * i proposition. Let me help you, and I'll agree to play fair. You tell me all you discover and I’ll tell you what I learn.’* "Humph. What can you learn?" "Don’t be supercilious. You may yet be glad to come around to my theory.” "Have you one?” “Rather! And a Pood one. It is that an outsider, an evil intentioned intruder came in and shot Raynor, at dusk, and made away without being seen.” "Fine fairy story!” "Not at all —he left his footprint on the sun room floor.” "Very good of him, I’m sure! An 1 from that footprint, will you please tell me the color of his hair and what clothes he wore? Also his aye and height? I’ve read story books, you see!” "Then if you have, why didn’t you find that footprint for yourself” Goddard spoke seriously "It’s right there, under the eyes o? anybody who chooses to look for it.” "Is it there yet?” "Y'es. unless it has been washed MOTHER!

I'll show you.” The two men went to the sun parlor. and on Its floor of red tiles, he twen two rugs, was certainly a faint, irregular footprint, made quite evidently by some one who wore new rubbers. "Pooh," said Dobbins, "that might have come there before or after the shooting time.’' “Might have. yes. hut isn’t it up to you to prove it did or it didn’t? Oughtn’t you to know wl% has been here wearing new rubbers? They are not commonly worn by ladies and gentlemen of a household like this." "Some of the servants —** ‘Nonsense, servants don’t wear overshoes to clean floors!” "A visitor —an errand hoy—” “Why surmise? Why not find out for certain?” Dobbins began to look grave. “Much obliged to you, Mr. Goddard, it certainly rails for investigation. And I’ll accept your offer of help. If I tell you what I learn, you must tell me anything you discover,” “Agreed, though I doubt if 1 discover anything of importance. My forte is deduction rat her than search.” U>y reason of further request on Goddard’s part. Dobbins let th“ search of Nan’s room until the :a-\t day, and then he declared his Intentions. “Certainly you may search any rooms, Mr Dubbins,” Nan s.-hd quietly. “Shall I come with you? ’ “No. Mrs. Raynor, hut I want someone with me?

"Had you ever heard of tlus son before?” Dobbins asked of \'ar. ”Yes,” she said. "I knew of his existence, but I have never beforemet him.” "He was apprised of his father’s death?” "Oh. yes, the lawyer 16oked after all notifications of the family.” “Y'ou didn't get here for the funeral, Mr Raynor?” said Dobbin."No, I came on from thi West aim couldn’t make connections.

Though the desk was ransaeke-d by Dobbins, assisted by Goddard and Orville Kent, no trace of a will could be found. “But 't has always been there,” said Nan. looking perplexed. "I mean ever since it was drawn up. a year or more ago.” “Who witnessed It?” asked Dobbins. “>fr. Gannon, for one," Nan said, “and the butler, for another. But not the butler we have now.
