Now, if : we’re to share the property, I suppose we’d better call a truce until the settlements can be made." “Why a truce? Why not a per manent friendship—whatever the outcome of the settlement?” Lionel looked at her accusingly. “[ don’t form friendship with people who—who tried to poison my father?’ Nan shrank as if from a blow, and Dobbins thought this a good time to thrust a question at her. “That reminds me. Mrs. Raynor.” lie said, “is this book yours’.’” He ! held out the little volume. "Why—where did you find it?” she asked, “where did you get that?” “Hidden behind some other books on your bookshelf. Is it yours?" A sudden and decided change came over Nancy Kay nor. “Yes,’ she s .id. raisirg her chin with a touch of obstinacy ' yes it is mine.” “Why did you buy it?” “I'.ocause —because I thought somebody was poisoning my husband and I I wanted to 'earn the truth about it.' Dobbins almost laughed outright at this absurd story. "You know, do you not. that la- - being so poisoned—and that you •art suspected of being the t "I know :t,” Nan sat bolt upright j now. and her head, held high, was ; defiant in its pose. "Can you prove it?” “T don't advise you to take that j attitude, Mrs. Raynor.” Dobbins said not unkindly. “It won't get you I anywhere.” "No, don't. Nan," said her brother j "You've got a hard row to hoe. but 1 we’re all back of you. and if you'll j just toll the truth, it will ail be j smoothed out very soon." “Smoothed out. hide** i"’ M ss Mat-j j tie bristled.

It was plain to be seen; he Was ill at . ,-o in tin- pr Settee ■* more refined people. “Whatcha want o’ me Mis' Jl.iynor." he said, as ho awkwardly took 1 a chair. “You can tell me what you know of my husLand’s will, Mr. Hannon. I You witnessed it, I think.'' "No. Mis’ Ii .ynor, I didn't " The cold light blue eyes of < trims ha we Gannon hmk'"l into her own without any expression of concern or even j I interest in the matter. "Why.

I "Yes'm. 1 remember Deters — ;l good man but stupid W<*!i, him n me. we never signed no will for Mr. Raynor—leastwise, not me, anyway.” "That man is telling a falsehood." said Nan, quietly. "You did witness j Mr. Raynor s signature t>. his will, I Mr. Gannon, and you know where* that will is." Gannon gave a helpless look around the room, as if to say, "What ear. I say to that?" Rut he only shrug y l his great shoulders, and repeating Ids out aignorance ;as to th>- existence or whereabouts of any will, he rose and lumbered off. “Well.” Dobbins said, "it begins j to look serious. Gan we get bold of : | the other witness. Mrs. Raynor?" “T don't know." Nan said, looking ’houghtful mrhoj- than confounded. I can’t understand it at all?’ , CHARTER VIII The Secret Parcel Malcolm Finley was not at all ' pleased with the role in which In.found himself rast. He was a mar lof action, and he was obliged to keep quiet. Most of ail, he was desperately jin love with Nancy Raynor, an 1 was not allowed to tell her so. I “Your time will corn'.-.” Goddard j 'old him. "If your love for her is ; the mal thing, and if she r- 'ipro- '■ cates, no harm can eonfe of waiting; until a right and proper time to t*-l 1 j her of it. It would bn unwise as well as untimely to tell tier now—j and. t-M) Finley, there's a big mystery to be solved l>v somebody. Between you and me, I don’t think much of that detective—” “But for that reason he's a good one to have on the case. He g- ts nowhere. he befogs all the issues—” “And is that, a good thing?” “It. most certainly Is—for all con eerned.” , Finley went off and Goddard mused over what he had said. Ezra Goddard carried a heavy - heart. He felt that there was no : solution to the mystery of the shoot- j ing. but to ascribe it either to Nan I or Malcolm, and he couldn’t bear to i think it was either of those. Moreover. Nan had confessed to the own-1 ership of the hook on poisons, she had been seen secretly slipping tab-1 lets Into her husband’s teacup— j what theory was there except the ; the guilt of one or both? Just now, matters seemed to ho! temporarily held up because of the; absence of tho will which Nan de- j dared existed. If this could be found and Nan in- j herited tho estate, things would be 1 quite different frem the event of IJo- ; nel Raynor owning the place. Goddard didn’t like young Raynor j —didn’t like him at all. Yet his opinions made small differ- j enco if the will Lionel possessed was the only one extant. For it was in j every way, Goddard knew, a true and legal document —the only question being whether there had been a later one —or whether —this Just oc- j eurred to Goddard, whether Douglas j Raynor in a fit of anger had de- ! stroyed the will he had made in < Nans’ favor. Goddard longed to send to New York for a famous detective he knew of, but somehow he feared the things such a detective might discover. On the theory of many people, l Nancy Raynor and Malcolm Finley were glad to renew their old-time

But I quit all other remedies and fell back on the medicine that saved me several before, namely, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, along with the Golden Medical Discovery, and before the fourth bottle was gone she was well. From that time I have been recommending these two medicines.” —Mrs. Mary Holden, 48 S. State Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. Health is of vital importance. Do not neglect your most valuable asset.
