Nancy's brother conn's In from the south side of the room And then Ezra Goddard, friend of Finley: Miss Mattie, Raynor's sister, and others, enter uron the scene Detee tire Dobbins heads the poll-e Investigation. An autopsy reveals that R tya r also was being systematloally poisoned with arsenic Lionel Raynor son of Dourias Raynor by first marriage, comes to claim his father’s •‘state. Finley and Orville Kent are t tlkinr when Goddard and Detective Dobbins approach t’ “rn. ' The one mo. t benefited by the death of the victim i- Mrs. Raynor " savs Dobbins. NOW r.O ON WITH Till: STORY til | HE'S not benefited at all," I J r l Orry, coolly. "She's prucL_J tically cut off—" "She didn’t know that "until after the deed was done,” returned Dobbins, “and I don't mean financially only. Mrs. Raynor was exceedingly unhappy with her husband, she had tried for some time to take his life by administering a slew, cumulative poison. Not succeeding, and urged on by the reappearance of her for mer suitor, which, I admit, made the attitude of her husband harder to bear, Mrs. Raynor became desperate and ended her bondage, for it was bondage, by shooting her tyrant.” "But you accuse me of the shooting.” said Finley. "Only my fingerprints were found on the revolver. I’m told.” "That was a clever stunt of yours, Mr. Finley.” and the detective looked at him with a sort of grudging admiration. “I believe you picked up that pistol, just as you say you did —and, 1 believe that you had seen who dropped it —who fired it, as well—and. to save her you were quick-witted enough to whip out your hankerehief and polish off all finger marks except your own. It was an ingenious dodge, and it worked —in that if eliminated the prints of Mrs Raynor's fingers. But you can't get a head of me. Mr.

Mderson, Indianapolis. Ind.. in Frank Fetter, Pays Great Tribute to Todd's Tonic, Which Has the Strength-Building Qualities of Rare Old Wine. “As an honest, conscientious man, I think 1 should tell the public what Todd’s Tonic has clone for ine because I want to bring to any who are suffering as I did the knowledge that there is a relief for their troubles. I have been afflicted with stomach trouble. Indigestion and nervousness for a number of years and had reached the stage where I could scarcely find any food that I could digest. I was getting weaker each day, f bad no energy and I was much discouraged. One day I happened in the store where the representative for Todd's Tonic was demonstrating and he induced me to try a bottle. I did so and 1 can never be thankful enough. I began to feel better almost right away and dav bv day, as I took this remedy, I could feel myself growing stronger Now 1 know that my entire system is toned up to what It should be. for I am alive with energy. I feel ten years younger i tei have gained ten pounds In weight.

Finley—l'm on to your little games.” The astounded, even crestfallen look, which Malcolm Finley was not quite quick enough to hide, seemed to corroborate the opinions of the detective. “Cut it out, Dobbins,” said Orville Kent, sternly; "perhaps you have some reason to suspect my sister of giving tablets of some sort to Mr. Raynor, but you have no evidence to warrant such a suspicion as you are now suggesting! My sister was out on the west terrace at the time that shot was fired —” X >w, now. Mr. Kent, how do you know that? You, yourself, were idown on the bridge a good three hundred yards away and you know nothing of the situation except by hearsay—” "Well, there's no truth in the statement that my sister shot—” “Oh, shut up, Kent,” said Ezra Goddard, impatiently. "We know your love and loyalty for your sis ter prompts all this defense of her, but It doesn't get us anywhere.” "Well, we’re going to get somewhere,” declared Dobbins, ‘‘and mighty quick, too. I'll take up the poisoning business first. We have everything to prove that —except Mrs. Raynor’s own confession— I which we can hardly expect.” “What's your proof?" demanded | Kent. "We have found four different peo pie who saw Mrs. Raynor furtively slip something into her husband's tea or coffee cups, we have found a book on poisons concealed in her bookcase, and we have found tablets hidden in a vase in her bedroom which, when analyzed, we found to be arsenic. Add to this the symptoms of arsenical poisoning observed in M. Raynor for some time before he died, and state If you can, any flaw in my reasoning from th>se f -cts that Mrs. Raynor poisoned her husband.” • ■ 'ranting all that." Malcolm Finley s.i:d, 'you've no r- .! ca.- i.-.i.ust Mr Raynor. Douglas Raynor was not kilh-J by poison, lie was s ,ol : and your connection of Mrs. Raynor with that shooting is a figment of your imagination. I was on the spot within a minute after the shot was fired—l know Mrs Raynor was out on the west terrace—l will swear—” “Save your perjury until you are called on for i’. Mr. Finley." and Dobbins looked it him gravely. “I haven't perjured myself yet—save your advice until I do. Hut l ore's another thing, .Mr. Dobbins. Ail you say regarding Mrs Raynor might apply equally to sum-body i hse. As to the shooting, it would e just as logical to suspect Miss Turner, say for she was nearer the spot where -Mr. Raynor fell than his wife was. You say I wiped lingerprints from that weapon. May they .sit have been those of the nurse." “She had no motive —Mrs. Raynor
had.” “.Motive is a good deal, but it . isn’t everything," Finley persist. •!. ' Apr.in. as to the tablets. Suppose : Mrs. fiaynor was giving her bust.and simple tablets —soda or something—and suppose someone else, say a 'disgruntled servant, was administering th.- poison. Then wouldn’t the I most hke’;,- thing b- f r -r the poisoner |to 'plant" the poison in a vase in Mrs. Raynor's room—” : "!s>ok here, Mr Finley, you're romancing altogether too much. 1 haven't time for such balderdash If you. or anybody else, has any facts to communicate to m--. go ahead. bu* otherwise, I must go on with my proceedings against Mrs. Raynor, if she is really innocent, it must j come out —if she is guilty—it must be shown. Justice must be done." ; In the meantime, N.in Raynor, at her wits’ end as to what course to ) pursue, was walking in the Italian garden. As she paced the {lower bordered walks, she marveled at the des- - elate position in which she found herself. j Her brother loved her—but, after j all. Orry seemed to her more like a child than a source of help nr; strength. Malcolm Finley loved her ! —but just now he- was the last one to apply to. Miss Rayor was a weath. r vane. I Now she seemed fond of Xan. and j resented her suspicions of her. and the next minute she would be voic- j ing the same suspicions herself. As Xan walked along, her hands j clasped behind her, her cys cast j down, she was Joined by Grimshaw < lannon. She had never liked the old man. I hut at her husband's especial corn- ! mand she had always been courte- j otis to him. She had never ur.der- j stood the link that bound these two I illy assorted natures, but she could i not help seeing there was one. For, ; occasionally, Gannon would come up j to the house and he closeted in hour ! or so with Raynor, after which • pi- 1 sode Raynor would he unusually i harsh to Xan. Ry this she knew j that the relations between the twoi men were not amicable, for it was j always after Raynor had had an ; unpleasant Interview with somebody else, that he vented liis irritability on his wife. And so. In accordance with her usual habit, Xan nodded a greeting to Gannon and said a pleasant good morning. "You know, Mrs. Raynor." he began abruptly, “I know' a lot about i your htishnnd " "1 suppose so, Mr. Gannon.” "lie was a hard man, ma’am, a • very hard man.” Xan's big. mournful eyes lifted for a moment to the rugged face of the ] man beside her. "If yob have anything to tell me, i Mr. Gannon, please do so. Ts not. T prefer not to have my solitude in- j trudod on.” “Lay off the hoity-toity language, i ma’am. I'm plain-spoken myself, and : I've a plain word to say.” “Say it, then, please.” Nan said, j wearily. "Well, it’s just this. Young Ray- ! \M W Vapoßub For All Cold Troubles
