NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY <<i—' OKS that mean somebody Tj came in—in from outside — and shot my husband?" Nan asked. "Not necessarily. Mrs. Raynor," Wise said “It may be It was a footprint made In the afternoon — had It been raining?” "No." Miss Raynor said —"but the gardens are often damp and a footprint would be possible.” "Was the footprint mud?" asked Zizi sharply. “I’m not sure.” Miss Mattie said, thoughtfully. "It may have been merely the impress of the rubber sole on the stone floor of the room.

It was dust rather than mud, anyway." "Probably the footprint cf a servant," Wise said, as he rose from his chair and strolled about. “You see, if there had been an intruder from outside, he would have left more than one footprint.” "No,” Orville Kent remarked, “there was no floor space just there except between the rugs. Other ; footprints would have been on the i rugs and so unobservable.” | Orry was nervous, as usual, twistI lng up a bit of paper he was holding. I “I think,” he went on, “if you will | turn your attention to someone outside this household, Mr. Wise, you will get on the right track sooner." "Perhaps so,” and Wise nodded acquiescently. “Tell me what you saw when you arrived, Mr. Kent. The room was lighted then?" "Oh, yes. They all stood in the doors —as you've already heard described. My sister —" “Did you notice her first?" "Yes —I think I did. I saw her white scared face, and I sprang toward her. fearing she was going to faint. Then I saw the body of my brother-in-law on the floor —" "Why do you say the body—did you then know Mr. Raynor was dead?” Kent stared. “Os course not." “You are agitated. Mr. Kent." "Nothing—nothing—" said Orry. He Jumped up and began pacing the terrace.

CHAPTER XV Grim Gannon Grimshawe Gannon sat on the littie porch of his unattractive old house. "What do you want?” he prowled. “I don't know anything about the Douglas murder!” "Then you surely need feel no uneastness at sight of a detective." said Wise, cheerily. "Two detectives,” amended Zizi. seating herself on the porch railing. "What do you want to know?" j Gannon blurted out. At a glance front Ziz:, Wise took up the questioning. "About Lite will," he said in a low, j even voice. "Where is It?" ' I don’t know—T haven't pot it.” "You bad she copy—the little Fay girl found it." “Yes —but T haven't the will itself —the signed will.” "All rishr. thn T know who has. Now. son here, Gannon—what do you know of Douglas Raynor > past? If vou'll come across with that. I'll j let up on the will business—for the present." "What do you mean—his past? He n o ver did anything wren—" "Oh. didn't he? Well, I say h° did. And. furthermore. I say you know ! all about it —arid you used this I knowledge for—" “Don't say it”' Gannon put up his hand as if to ward off a blow. "lon't say that word—it isn't true”' By the dint and adroit questioning, by judicious hints of "the law.” and by means of some help here and there from Zizi, Wise finally drew from him the disgrace ful story of Raynor’s life in so far as it affected the dead man's widow. Grim Gannon leaned back in Ills chadr as if he had now settled the affairs of the universe. lie scarcely noticed hfs callers’ farewells, and they left him drowsing over his old pipe. Crossing the lawns they met Or\i!'e Kent coming toward them. “I want to give myself up,” be said, speaking steadily, but with a nervous twitching of his long fingers. “I killed my brother In-law, Douglas Raynor.” Wise gave a quick gl.uire at Zizi. "Mr. Kent." he said, kindly, "1 know you think this sacrifice of yourself for your sister is a right thing to do. I'm going to ask you to give me twenty four hours, at least, to find out the real truth." "Take your twenty-four hours. Mr. Wise," said Kent, slowly. CHAPTER XVT It’s Never Too Kite for Clews Pennington Wise was in the sun i per lor studying the room once | more. “A little late for clews, isn’t it, Mr. Detective?” Lionel Raynor said, in a tone naore Jovial than sarcastic. Wise looked up at Lionel Raynor’s chaff, and smiled a little. "It s never too late for clews." he said, "and this print is such a good one I hate not to utilize it. To me it is exceedingly indicative, and I am pt-etty nearly ready to state It was left here by the murderer himself." "Have you noticed the direction In which this points?" "Well, it is pointed toward the place w-here my father fell, if that's what you mean." "That isn't what 1 mean," said Wise. And then, with a murmur of excuse. the detective left the room and went Into the house. In the hall, he met Zizi and drew her aside for a word. "Come with me, Z!z, to talk with Kent. And watch him." The two went to Orville Kent's rooms. Kent received them in his sitting room. j “Now. just a few words as to your somewhat startling statement, Mr. Kent." Wise began. “I shall start out by saying that T don’t believe you shot your brother-in-law, and that I do believe you claimed that you did. In order to lift suspicion from your sister. It is better to tell me the details, than to rehearse them to the poiice—though if you prefer that—” "No, no—” Orry’a fingers were working nervously. "Well, then, let us start by assuming that your story- is true. Why did you kill your brother-in-law?” "Because —because he made my sister's life a burden:” "But he had done that for two years—" “Oh, It was much worse of late. He was—he was brutal to her —” “Yes—l know—but that equally explains why she should kill him." "Oh, she didn’t'—she never could —I tell you. Mr. Wise, my sister

“Then she didn't do it —then she | can't be convicted of It.—then —then. Mr. Kent, why do you take the blame and pretend to a crime you never committed?” "Do you mean that?" Orry looker! up eagerly. "Do you mean my sin ter can’t’ b convicted if she Is Innocent? Can’t’ she bo wrongly suspected and —" "She is suspected, of course. And there is a strong tendency on the part of some to suspect an outsider j —on account of the print of the overshoe."
