He stole it—l don’t know why—but I want you to find out all about it." “Now. now, Mr. Detectia-e.” the old man said, “this lady's all stirred up over nothin’—l don’t know a thing about vhnt she’s speakin’ of.’’ “I’ve settled that will business to my own satisfaction,” said Bobbins! sternly. “I believe, Mrs. Raynor, that the day your husband was I killed you had a very unumiUy se- i vere quarrel, had you not?” “Not a quarrel. Mr. Dobbins, but my husband had been unusually angry' at me.” “But on that day he was so angry that he threatened to destroy the will he had made In your favor.” "How did you know that?” and Man looked truly astounded. “Ah. you thought your little tiffs were not overheard, did you? But Miss Raynor happened to be passing your door —and as you had both raised your voices—or at any rate. i Mr. Raynor had —she heard him say ” “Passing the door! ,-Bhe was eaves- j dropping, as usual. Very well, he did say that.” “And —you thought the- crisis had come, and so, Mrs. Raynor, that aft ernoon you shot him so that he \ couldn’t destroy that will.

—nor could any one want that will destroyed.” “Except Idor.el Raynor ” Nan began. “He wasn’t here.” said Dobbins, sternly. “You can’t drag him in. The case is clear. You feared the destruction of that will, you had become newly interested in your returned suitor, you had reached the point of desperation with your husband's cruelty—you concluded to end it all. The pistol, your husband’s own. was convenient in the drawer of the table. Every one else had left the tea table and gone to dress for dinner. Perhaps acting impulsively, because of such a good chance, you stepp and into the sun parlor, shot vour victim, dropped the weapon and ran out again just as Mr. Finley, arriving at once from the east side, saw your disappearing figure hurrying through the door opposite. Miss Turner snapping on the lights, also saw you going out. and a few moments later. Mr. Kent, coming on the scene, saw you returning—but apparently appearing for the first time upon the scene. It's all ex plained, Mrs. Ravnur —I'm telling you what I know, tn order to prepare you a little for the trial you must face.” “Good lord, man,” cried old Gannon, “the lady’s fainting. How could you blurt out all that! Get out of my way!” And fairly brushing the detective aside, the great, gaunt man lifted the drooping figure before him. and carried N'an swiftly into the house ar.d placed her on a couch in the living room. “X-ook after her!” he said curtly to Miss Raynor, who bust!* i in. and then Gannon strode into the library where the rn**n now were. “You want to ch* , k up that Dobbins person,” he said: "he's a brute, and if Mrs. Raynor is guilty, that's no reason she should be tortured by him.” “No wonder the lady faintc 1,” he said; “no wonder she is ill and nervously ups< t. She is a drug addict:'' “What"’ shouted Kent, jumping up and glaring .at Dobbins. “Yes —I've proof r.-rht here,” and Dobbins produced a damp-looking pa per parcel. “Mis. Raynor, tccmi panied by the Pule Fay girl, went down to the brook —along the Falls road, .and she threw this package Into tile falls. I wade-1 in ar.d fished it out —and here it is." H- opept 1 the parcel and showed four vials, two empty: one full and one partly full of a white powder. And all were labeled morphine. “What have >ou to sav?” demand- 1 Xx-bbins. But no one had anything to say. CHAPTER X Dolly Fay "You see,” Bobbins fai i, "it explains a good deal to know that Mrs. Raynor was a victim of the 'rug habit. Why. it may go far toward getting her off easy— ’’ “It may -1 • nothing of the sort'” Malcolm Finley exploded. “How dare you accuse her of that - ’" “I don’t Rime you for getting wrathy. Mr. Finley,” Bobbins said, looking at him almost benignly, "and I'm i ilghty sorry myself to say anything against the lady, but here's the proof—'• "X*rtM.f nothing* You pick, up a measly parcel if rubbish ar i you jump to a conclusion' Has any or--ever seen Mrs. Raynor ever so slightly under the influence of a drug?” "Never!" sai l Orvilß Kent “Where’s that nurse person ?” asked Dobbins suddenly. “She'd know about Mrs. Raynor's habits.” “Sh**’s gone,” Kent Informed him. “"Went off last night, bag and baggag.-. Aid. by the way, sic- took with her a nifty bunch of stocks and bonds.” “Raynor’s?” asked the detective. “Weil, they had been—but they were all transferred to her. and were in a big packet, marked with her name, in the safe, (if course, I gave them to her. as she asked.” “Queer doings,” muttered Bobbins. “Why should Raynor give them to her” Was he sweet on her?" "Not a bit of it!” Kent said; “Douglas wasn’t that sort—and. too, I think he positively disliked MBs Turner. But he was trying her out as a diet nur c e He was a faddist about food.” “Flow'd she come to go off in such a hurry?” asked Dobbins, looking amazed. “We hadn’t finished questioning her. Where is she?” “She left a New York address, which she said would always reach her. But you don’t suspect she had anything to do with the shooting, do you?” “Why, look here,” Dobbins said. “There are three—no, four doors to that room where Mr. Raynor was killed. Now, there Is a possibility that the criminal was at any one of the four. If east or west, it must have been Mrs. Raynor or Mr. Finley. If south. It was some outsider, who got away, Kent, before you came on the scene. But, there’s the north door, at which was Miss Turner, and later. Miss Raynor. We can’t suspect Miss Raynor of her brother’s death, but I’ve always rather had my mind on Miss Turner. I don’t at all like the Idea of her going away.” “She never shot Raynor,” said Ezra Goddard. “Why in the world would she? Especially if he was kind enough to giv" her a bundle of valuable securities.” “.She didn’t shoot him to get those,” Kent added, “for they were all properly indorsed over to her. and the parcel, all ready for her, was in the safe with her name on it.” “Maybe he was holding out on her for some reason," mused the detective. “There must have been some secret alliance or some important interest between the two for a man like Raynor to give a transient nurse such a gift.” “We don’t know that it was a gift,” Kent said: “perhaps it represented her accumulation of savings which Raynor had invested for her.” “I never saw a case with so many angles to it.’’ Dobbins sighed. “Here’s Lionel Raynor impatient to take possession of his inheritance and. as nobody can find a Ipter will, he'll have to have it, for ail I can see, and what

You confess to shield Mrs. Raynor—and then she’ll confess to shield you—*" "Oho," Goddard said, that’s fine!
