worth all about it. Trust him, and he will do more for you than any other man I know of could do.” “But I can’t —Mai, I can’t tell anybody about the —about the —” “I’ll tell It. then,” and Miss Mattie stepped before them. “Yes. I've been eavesdropping." she said, as they looked at her in dismay. “Oh, I can scarcely call it that, as you took no pains to lower your voices very much. Nan. I heard you say how glad you are | that your husband is dead. I didn’t ! need that to tell me who killed him ! —hush, don't say a word—don't add i perjury to your other crimes. And ! I don't say. Nan, but that you did j lead a miserable life with him. 1 , know how Douglas treated you—and, Nancy, I know why.” Miss Mattie’s voice dropped to a whisper, but her face, although dis torted with passion, was that of one who spoke the truth. “Let that rest for a moment, Nan. and Tell xne what you know about Douglas' will.” “Nothing more than I have told everybody. It was always kept ir | the secretary drawer. Someone has stolen it." “Or Douglas destroyed it.” “That may be," Nan agreed. “He was very, very angry at me *!ie day before—before he died, and he threatened to disinherit me —but I (didn't think he would do so.' “He couldn't," said Miss .Mattie. !“A man can’t disinherit his wife And the will must be found. I hardly think he destroyed it." “Why does old Gannon deny witnessing it?” Finley asked. “Gannon is an old snake tn the grass, ’ Miss Raynor said. "He had some ar to grind, you may bo sure For I know- he witnessed that will.” “The other witn'-ss, Peters, must be found." said Finley. “You see. Nan.” Miss Matt went on. “I don't know as that will Lionel has remembers me —properly. In the later will Douglas left me a large bequest. Tie had much more money of late years, but if that will Ins son has claims it all. where will we Tie?” "Where will w be. anyway?” Nan sa,d. wearily. “But 1 don't propose to give up my rights without a struggle, and I’m going to have a talk with Lionel and Irn going now.” She went away in search of the young man, and found him in the sun parlor. “Can’t we join forces, Lionel?" she said. “Sit down and talk it over.” he said, arranging a big cushion for her. ■'l'd like to be friends. Nan, if you can convince me you didn’t kill my father. You can’t expect me to be friendly with you, otherwise.” “Os course I didn't kill him.” Nan said, "how can you even imagine | such a thing?” "Ycm say that, but your face, your | eyes, your whole expression belies I your words. Do you also deny poisoning him—or .are you only disclaiming the shooting?" The hard, sharp, black eyes of the young man looked closely Into her own. and there was something m his manner, in his effect, that repelled Nan so utterly she was scarce able to speak to him. “I Think,” she said, slowly, “that I prefer not to discuss anything with you. 1 will refer you to my lawyer. Idonel Raynor gave a start. “A lawyer, have you one?" “I shall have, very soon. Meantime, you may wait for my answers to your questions.” "Hoity, tolty, is that the tone you’re going to take toward m**' Go lng to have a lawyer are' you? And, pray, how are you going to pay him? Don’t you know- you're practically penniless? But 1 suppose your friend. Mr. Finley, will he only too glad to pay —” But Nancy had risen and walked away. At the doorway, she met Detective Dobbins, on his search, as always. “No overshoes found,’ he announced. “Been all over the house, family, servants, guests—can’t find anew rubber in the place. Plenty of old ones—good enough ones, too, but no brand new ones—and only a brand new one would have made that print. Most remarkable.” “But it can't boos real significance, can It. Mr. Dobbins?” Nan raised her [ sad eyes to his face. "Why do you put such stress on it?” "Why, it’s a clew, Mrs. Raynor, don't you see—a clew’ And it might be of utmost importance to you, Mrs. Raynor. For, if we can prove that rubber was tin the foot of a man from the outside—an intruder —why, then it lets out everybody in the house —everybody!” “Then, if you can’t find anew overshoe in the house, it must have been an outsider?" Nan was interested now. “Looks that way—yes, ma’amt ,i looks that way. Oh. you cheer up, Mrs. Raynor, things look pretty black against you. I’ll admit that. But if I can pull you out, I will! Yes, ma’am, I will. Though we may have to implicate your friend, Mr. Finley.” The detective made this speech purposely, as a test of Nan’s behavior. He gained little, for she presented only a mask-like calm of face, and an atr of utter indifference.

"A deep one.” he said to himself, [as she walked slowly away. "yes. a 'mighty deep one —and, therefore, i most likely a wrong one.” Nan wandered on, down to the gardens, down the hillside to the brldg* over the brook, and seeing I Dolly Fay, waved her hand in lnvi i tation. Ami Dolly came, flying, her sash ends straight out behind her. ''Nancy, darling, how are you this i morning? I can't stand it to have [you so awful sad all the time:" “Dolly, dear, have you the packet , safe—you know, the one 1 gave you ; to keep for me?" "Oh, yes. Nan. of course.” “Run and g-t it, then —I'll wait for you here—and we’ll go for a walk Dolly obeyed, and soon the two were walking along the brookslde down the path that led to the falls. Nan carried tiie little parcel, not ing by a glance that It had In no way been tampered with. "What’s doing about Mr. Raynor, Nan?” Dolly asked, earnestly. "Whenever I ask mother or dad, they tell me to keep still; Orry won't tell me a thing, and that fool detective glares at me when I try to pump him. Old Grim Gannon—he's m> friend, you know—hut he says su< h | awful things, I won't listen to him. "What does he say, Dolly—or, my, don’t tell me—-I'd rather not know ' “Indeed, 1 wouldn't tell you—why Nan, he says terrific things about you, and about Mr. Finley and about everybody, even Including Miss Tinner." "Eva Turner?” “Yes; that la, he didn’t say any thing definite, but 1 sort oX gathered he thinks she’s sly.” “Never mind, Dolly, I’d rather you wouldn’t listen to such gossip, but if you do, don’t repeat It to me. Now. look out, dear, I’m going to destroy this little parcel. It's nothing of any value.” Standing on the bank, just above a small but turbulent waterfall made by the brook over a stony decline. Nan tossed the packet lightly into the foaming, bubbling cascade. Then, without a backward glance, and looking a little frightened, she said, hastily, “Come along, Dolly, let's go home.” They climbed the bank and hastened back to Flower Acres. "You won't mention this episode, dear?’’ Nan said. "Os course not. You know I’ll never do a thing you don't want me to. Nan. And. besides, T know more things than that about the whole affair that I'm not going to tell.” "Why. Dolly, what do you mean?" "Oh, nothing. But you’re not the only one I'm keeping still about.” (Continued in Our Next bwp.)

Intestinal Eracuant There is now offered to the public a liquid preparation which is not only a wonderfully effective and QUICK intestinal evacuant, but which also,seems to stimulate the glands of the intestinal tract and to cause expulsion of flatus (GASi. This preparation, known as Adlerika. is a valuable agent for the purpose of cleansing the bowels of matter which has been in the system a long time and which other less effective means have been unable to dislodge. It is often astonishing the great amount of matter Adlerika draws from the intestinal canal—even right after a natural movement it sometimes brings out unsuspected quantities of additional matter. Many times it brings out much GAS. thus relieving pressure in the abdomen. Adlerika is especially valuable when PROMPT action is necessary or to encourage the elimination of metabolic poisons through the bowel.
