BEGIN HERE TODAY Donsrlas Raynor Is found shot through the heart in the early evening on the floor of the sun room of Flower Acres. lr.s Long Island home. Standing over the dead man. pistol in hand Is Malcolm Finley. former sweetheart of Raynor's wife. Nancy. Eva Turner. Raynor's nurse, stands by the light switch. In a moment Nancy appears, white-faced and terrified. Orville Kent. Nancy's brother, comes In from the south side of the room. And then Ezra Goddard, friend of Finley: Miss Mattie. Raynor's sister. and others, enter upon the scene. Detective Dobbins heads the po'iee Investigation. An autopsy reveals that Raynor also was being systematically poisoned with arsenic. Dobbins makes to arrest Nancy, and Finley "confesses'’ to shield her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY uT JOT much it doesn’t!” Dobbins x returned. "The truth is, to * put it plainly, one of those two people shot Mr. Raynor. Both know which one did It. Neither will tell, unless If one confesses, then the other will. If Mrs. Raynor tired the shot, then Mr. Finley picked up the pistol afterward, and rubbed off her fingerprints. If, on the other hand, the shot was fired by Mr. Finley—Mrs. Raynor saw him as she stood nt the west door. But they both know.” "This is discarding the theories of Miss Turner or of an Intruder from outside,” Ezra Goddard summed up. thoughtfully. "Yes. sir. and I do discard them. I've thought over that nurse, but she never would have shot and then turned on the lights. In the dusk she would have run away. ‘‘You can't affirm that so positively.” Kent said: “nor can you give up the idea of an outsider merely because 1 didn’t see him make his getaway. Os course he would have disappeared silently and In the darkness of the shrubbery, and I'd stand small chance of seeing him at all.” Dobbins looked uncertain again. “I’ve got to interview more people.” he sighed as he rose. Sanguine of nature, the detective went off and went straightway to the home of Doliv Fay. That young person sat in a swing on the lawn, and with r word of greeting Dobbins sat down beside her. "Now. young lady." he said, trying to intimidate he rby a tierce scowl, “you are to tell me till you are keeping back about Mrs. Raynor. If you don't, you'll be in danger vourseif.” HEADACHE Don’t Suffer! Get a 10c package of Dr. James Headache Powders Any kind of a headache lie-red In tvo min\oH MV ht - 11 •/ *' '• k and pain vani-h.

“And so, unless you sea fit to tell me whatever I ask you, I shall have to report you—” “What do you want to know?” the question was snapped at him. “You were with Mrs. Raynor when she threw a parcel into the Falls?” “Y'es: that was only a bit of rubbish.” “Why did she take the trouble to carry it to the Falls to dispose of It r “Oh, It wasn’t any trouble. AVe were out for a walk, you know—” “Had you ever seen that parcel be fore?” Dolly wns game. ( “No,” she said, stubbornly, “I never saw it before.” “Wait a minute. Miss Fay. Try to realize that for you to tell the truth will help Mrs. Raynor more than for you to conceal anything.” “What do you mean by that? I don’t believe you! Dike me to Mrs. Raynor, then, and if she gives me permission. I’ll tell you all you ask.” But this plan by no means suited Dobbins, and, too, he had found out all he wanted to know. There w.'is a mystery about the parcel. He went away, and Dolly, torn and shaken by the experience, started to walk over to Flower Acres and talk to Nan about It. As she came to old Gannon’s house, that worthy sat on his little porch, smoking his pipe. Dolly was friendly with the old man over his "specimens.” which always interested her. The old man remained on the porch, and, when a few moments later Lionel Raynor joined him there, he had quite forgotten Dolly's existence. Gannon and his visitor fell into an tl s- roe i conversat: >t. "We re lucky to be rid of the nurse,” Lionel was saying, “she* could have made trouble.” “That's all right," Gannon said, gruir.biingly. “But what about me? When do I get mine?” “What's your everlasting hurry?” asked Lionel. “You've enough to live on—haven’t you?’’ “Yes: but I don't trust you, especially. and besides I want to get my hoodie and g-> to South America It’s long been the dream of my life to study tropical Insects down there You fix* 3 3 l , off the Turner woman, why can't you fix off me?” “I will as soon as it’s possible. I hate to seem In too much of a hurry to take possession. And —I'm sorry for Mrs. Raynor—” “Softly! If you get hit there—” "Not at all—it isn't that. But I don't —T can’t believe Mrs. Raynor snot Dad —and if she didn't —” "If she di.in't, who did?’ That lover of hers —Finley. It has to bo one of the two—you know that, Lionel.” "What about Peters?” “He's all right—gone to California.” “Well—l'll fix tip the financial matters ns soon as I can. Gannon—hut don't hurry me. Where’s the—the —you know?" "It's all right.’’ “Haven't you destroyed 1* vet?” “When you meet my demands—l'll consider yours.” “Oh. you Shyloek! T tell you I’ll fix things a soon as I can.” “Don’t worry. It’s all safe ” “And the other?” “Safe, too.” “Well, so long. I'll go right now to see Lawyer Stratton. But I wish I knew who killed Dad.” “You're mighty affectionate toward his memery—considering bow he treated you when he was alive.” “I can forget that if I have all his property. And, I tell you a fellow can’t see his father murdered in cold blood wit bout getting hot about it!” Lionel Raynor went away, and Dolly Fay. scenting anew mystery, felt it would he better for her to depart unnoticed. She accordingly slipper) out nt the hack door of Gannon's little house, and went a roundabout way so that th old man shouldn't see her. So. Dolly thought if opportunity offered, end it certainly would, she proposed to hunt for that missing will. Doubtless It would require little search, for Gannon, unsuspecting of the child, would rot hide it carefully. All this came to Dolly by intuition, and as she went she pondered on the ways and means. As if in answer to her thoughts, she saw Gannon come out of his door and go striding off in the direction of the Raynor house. Whereupon Miss Dolly Fay quickly whisked herself about and pre

tended to lie going tno other way. Passing Cannon, s.i* went on. and, when he w;ih safely out of sight, she made straight f* >r his house. Entering the always open door, she looked eagerly about at th desks and cujthoards which she had never before noticed. A medium siz’d desk seemed to hold the ]>,!oars of the old man. and after a glance about her. Dolly quickly began pulling out bundles of letters and papers. A typewritten paper rather dis ferent from the others caught her eye. It was a large sheet, hut of flimsy texture. She unfolded It and glanced over it quickly. She caught sight of the words, "to my wife, Nancy Kent Raynor—” and she knew she had achieved the object of her search. Her absorption was Interrupted by an exclamation outside the window and looking up Polly saw Lionel Raynor, his face aflame with anger staring at her. “You little thief!" he sriod, and then, ns he strode around to enter at the door, Polly's quick-thinking mind led her swiftly to conceal the paper by slipping it into the lining of her coat. There was a rip ill the bottom of the side pocket, and anything put there, would, as she well knew, drop to the hem of the coat and stay there In safety. This was done, when—and it. was but a moment— Lionel entered at the door from the hallway. "Give me that paper!" he said, in a low, threatening tone. But Dolly was not at all intimidated. "It put it back—there It is." pointing to the first paper at hand. "That's not the, one —it was a yellowish paper ” “A yellowish paper?” Polly looked at him Inquiringly. "Yes—the one you were reading when I came up the porch slops." "All a mistake, Air. Raynor,” she said, with her sweetest smile. “Some of these old yellowed newspaper clippings, I dare say.” "No, it wasn’t!" his ire blazed up anew. "It was a larger paper—a typewritten one—where is It?" "Search me!” Faid Polly slangily, at the same time putting her hands in her two coat pockets, careful not to expose the slitted lining of one. “On my honor, these are the only pockets l possess, and they are both empty.” “Positively, I haven't it on me,” she cried, as she threw off the loose coat and whirled around before him. "I swear, Mr. Raynor, that I have not any paper hidden about my person.” Os course she hadn't, with her coat

over a chair bur,. nearby. "I resent, all you have said to me. Air. Raynor," she announced with dignity. "I will leave you to look for papers yourself. I'm going home." CHAPTER XI Nancy Explains The Italian Garden at Flower ! Acres, though conventional in do- | sign and detail, was so planned that j it was always a picturesque mass of i bloom and greenery. In one corner was a specially attractive arbor, and ; here s:it Finley and Nan Raynor. "It's out of the quetslon, dear,” ha | said, “that you and I should shun inch other's society for a foolish feeling of convention. Your husband is dead, and when the time comes, you are going to marry me—” “Oh, no, Malcolm —never —” “Why not, pray?" ho smiled at her ,ts at a wayward child. “Oh. hush, Malcolm —don’t talk like that. I never can marry you until this mystery is cleared up—and then—less than ever!” “What do you mean by then less ithan ever?” “1 mean that when the truth is known about—about Pouglns' death i —it will be Impossible for me to | marry anybody—” "Except me! Now, Nan dearest, you must confide In tne." “Never!” and Nan Raynor’s face was so full of horror and alarm that Finley ldmself felt a shudder of fear. “What an opportunity!” exclaimed an exultant voice, and Dobbins stepped inside the arbor. "Just the people T want to see." “First, Airs. Raynor, as you may or tqpy not know, we retrieved that parcel you threw into tho Falls.” | ''Yes?" said Nan, in a low tone. | “And we found that It contained a, j dope outfit—to put it plainly, some bottles of morphine.” “Yes?” “And I want you to tell me, if you please, why you threw It away with such secrecy ami care.” “Because,” Nan spoke with an effort, "because, if It bad been discovered In my possession or If I had been known to destroy It—l would | have been misjudged In the matter." “Where did you get it?” How did you got it? That stuff is not easily procurable—though its devotees seem to manage it, somehow." ”T found it —” Nan said, slowly. “It —it belonged to somebody else. ’ ■ “Where did you find it?” Dobbins’ cold glare seemed fairly to hypnotise her into answering, and she said: "Among my husband’s belongs ings.” (Continued In Our Next* Issue)
