No —no, Orry, of course I don't.” “But—he says he found them in a vase—in your bedroom. In a large, tall vase that stands on a pedestal.” “Yes. I know the vase—" “And did you—Nan, did you put the tablets there?” "Don't ask me, Orry—oh, don’t ask me.” “I must ask you. Nan. You did put them there, Nan, after Douglas' death, thinking nobody would find them. Didn’t you?” “Yes—Orry—but—but they weren't poison tablets.” “They found them, Nan, and they’ve analyzed them, and they contain arsenic—so I think, sister, you’d better deny all knowledge of them. " “Deny all—” “Yes; Nan, pull yourself together. Realize that you're suspected of mur dering your husband! They think you were poisoning Douglas, and you must stoutly deny it.” “You believe I was, Orry?" “Os course not! But that's neither here nor there The others believe you guilty— ’* “YVho?" “Who? Why, the detective, the police, the district attorney, the re porters —all the horrid gang. Now. Nan. listen; you must deny it —In toto—firmly, positively and repeat edly." “[ will, then.” and Nan looked half dazed. “And do it intelligently. Nan. See? It won't do for you to face the detectives with that confused look.and say. calmly. ’No. I didn't do it.’ Shout it to the skies —we'll all help—but our efforts will be as nothing unless you co-operate intelligently—®ee? Will you’ Will you, Nancy?" "Yes. of course." and in obedience to Orry's orders, she began to put more vigor in her tones, more fore*, in her voic e. But when they reached the house and Detective Dobbins met her with the direct accusation of having ; dropped the tablet' in the large vase ,n her bedroom in order to prevent ! their living found by the searchers, site broke down utterly, ar.d cried out. “I dul —yes.

If Nan did try' to poison Raynor, I'd rather know- It." “What do you think yourself?” “I don't know what to think. I saw Nan—twice—put something in Raynor's cup.

I know a first-class detective, wh would come out here and solve thwhole business In short order—but, do we want him? J>o we want turn to prove that Nan killed tier husband —or even attempted to kill him? Isn't it better to let Dobbins blunder along—even—even giving him some manufactured cvhi.-nce, if necessary—” “Manufactured evidence?” “Tea; make up some clews—now. as to that print of an overshoe—--1 believe somebody faked that —to [turn Dobbins on a wrong scent.” Kent looked at tlio other ctiri uuel.v. “Who would do such a thing?” Inasked. “Why. Mtsa Raynor is quito r-apa ble of such a trick—or old Goddard, or Miss Turner—or you yourself, if you'd thought of It. It all draws suspicion away from Nan—” ‘And away from you Maybe Nan ■ did it for your benefit.

Ii was so —so obvious.” "And you propose doing more <>; uch obvious hocus pooiis?" iJnn’t take that tone, >rry, as i' i were compounding a felony Tint if by any such trickery 1 could and; vert suspicion from Nan, I’d gladly lo it. However, if I were to on gage the detective I have In mind Wise, his name Is —he’d see ' trough all planted dews in a min uie He'd go straight to the truth -f the matter—and, if that involved Nan —” “Then we don’t want Wise—that’s positive," Kent declared. "Now what about Lionel Raynor and his will business?" “Hooks bad to me. That's the thing I'd like to put Wise onto. He'd soon settle the will business, he'd straighten out all the question of property and inheritance, and he’d show up who did the poisoning and who did the shooting!" "Well, old chap, there’s no chance that you did it, if you’te willing to have the big sleuth on the job!” "I didn’t shoot Raynor, but look here, Kent, I’d swear that I did, if Nan should be accused of that.” "Don’t get that detective, Finley,” said Kent.
