BEGIN HERE TODAY Douglas Raynor Is found shot through the heart n the early evening on the floor of the sun room of Flower Acres, hta Long Island home. Standing over the dead i.iaiu pistol In hand, is Malcolm Finley, former sweetheart of Raynor s nurse, stands by the light switch. Then Nancy: her brother. Orville Kent; Ezra Goddard, friend of Finley: Miss Mattie. Raynor's sister, and others, enter the room Pennington Wise, a celebrated detective, and Zlzl. hts girl assistant, are called to take the case out of the hands of Detective Dobbins. "Any jury would exonerate Nancy Raynor if she had shot her husband." Wise tells Zizi. "but I want to prove that she ddm’t ’’ NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY \ HAT would be almost aa I I I bad, wouldn’t It?" Wise -i smiled ruefully. “And so you're going to make up a criminal to put in tliir place?” “No, he's already made up—he’s the man who wore the rubbers." “And we're going to the Falls to look for the rubbers?" “We are.” “Because that's the hiding place Mrs. Raynor chose for the morphine bottles, you think the rubber man chose the same hiding place?" "True, oh. Queen."

"IF YOU THINK SHU IS GOING TO BE ARRESTED. I’M GOING TO GET HE R AWAY."

"Well —take It from me. you won't find them there.” Wise stopped stock-still. "Then there's no use going on." “Oh. come along—l might be mistaken —of course, I never am, but there has to be a first time." “You're an impertinent young thing. But. Ziz, I’ve got to find those rubbers!" “All right, we'll find 'em. You 6ee —wait a minute. Penny, was the criminal one of the house people—or not?’ “Yes—l think it was." “Then it was either a man. or a woman wearing a man's rubbers. Now, he or she—we'll say he. meaning either sex—he must have hidden the rubbers, because he couldn’t destroy them. You can’t burn rubbers —they make such a smell —and you can’t throw them down a waste pipe I think Jhey’re hidden —they’re easy to hide, you see —and if they are we ought to find them.

the Falls first, and after that all other possible places." a But the most careful examination of the Falls failed to disclose a discarded pair of rubbers. Malcolm Finley approached them as they stood there. "A curious case, Mr. Finley,” Wise said! in the colloquial tone of one who addresses a fellow enthusiast. "Where are your clews leading you now, Mr. Wise?” Finley asked. "Nowhere, for the reason that I have few or no clews. Except for | the new overshoe, I can find nothing !to call a clew.” •" “You call that one?” “Most assuredly. If T can find j those rubbers —” I “You will convict somebody?" Flni ley looked alarmed. "It may be so.” Wise watched j him closely, without seeming to do ,so. I "Then. Mr. Wise, give up your search. It is unnecessary. I will tell you now what I'm going to tell I the police later —I confess to the ! crime, myself—l shot- Douglas Ruy- | nor, and I give myself up." Wise restrained his smile.

“It is most interesting, Mr. Fin- ! ley. how people love to ‘give them- ; selves up.' It would seem that to confess to a crime is a positive pas- ■ time of late! If many more confess to this one, avc shall have to arrest ] them In bunches. Why are you confessing to it, Mr. Finley?" | “Your amusement is decidedly iilI timed, Mr. Wise, f can not feel a solemn confession is an occasion for mirth.” “Yours is." and Zizi's uncontroli lable dimples c.une into play as she j openly grinned at Finley. "You don’t believe me?" Finley said, quite t;cken aback at the way his confession was received. “I do not,” Wise returned, "on the ! contrary' you have removed any | lingering doubts I may have had as J to your entire Innocence.” “So a confession convinces you of i a man’t innocence, does it?” j “Yes, in your case.” And then Wise became very grave "You are j making this confession, Mr. Finley, i to shield Mrs. Raynor— to save her, : if possible, from further suspicion of having killed her husband. Answer me truly. Is not this so?" Finley looked at the detective, and seeing his earnest face, suddenly felt that candor was his best policy. "Tes," ho answered. CHAPTER XVIII The Man Who Wore the Rubbers "Now. Mr. Finley,” Wise said, you I must know that what you suggest is Impossible. You certainly know what compounding a felony means, and you are not so ignorant as to think you could put such a thing over, or that I should allow it. I think you speak honestly when you are not sure whether Mrs. Raynor fired the shot or not—-and, of course, that lets you out. If you bad really (done it your attitude would be very different. Also, you must agree that from all the evidence we can get from the people on the scene at the time. It looks as if either you or l Mrs. Raynor did the shooting. With you out —by the way, why did you j clean off the pistol so quickly?" i Malcolm Finley looked troubled. Then. ”1 will tell you." he said. “I think I'd better be perfectly frank. ■ I pit keel up that pistol and whipped out my handkerchief Rnd rubbed off any finger-marks that might be on j It. because —because 1 did think Mrs. I Raynor had fired it." "Why did you think so?” “Kecause as I entered I saw her going out of the opposite door—Just jas MSsr Turner said she did There : Is no doubt about it - she was fleeing. ns Miss Turner expressed It. out BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Chronic roughs snd persistent cold* lead to serlons trouble.

Now I tell you tills, fur I ward your ad vine. If you think Mrs. Raynor is point? to he arrested —I'm point? to take steps to pet her away. I tell you frankly, because 1 ward your; help ." Wise stared at him. “My help to pet a criminal away?" “Yes.” said Finley, coolly. "You know as well as I do that she'd never be convicted, so tvhv drag through a trial? Why not spirit her away?" “Mr. Finley, you talk nonsense. Now. I propose that we po—you and I—and have a little talk with Mrs. Raynor. TTave you and she talked ; frankly about this ma'ter as yet?” , “T have tried to,” Finley sold, looklnp troubled, “hut Mrs. Raynor! seems to want to avoid the subject—” “Yes —she would Well, T think j we'll have to ask her to talk.” The two men started toward the house and Zizi drifted off by her ; self. She watched the men for a mo- I ment, then, turning, she strolled | down to the bridge and across It i ; toward Txilly Fay’s house. Zfzl had already met that viva- ; | clous young person, and, since see- i ! lnp the photograph of her In Kent’s j room, had desired another talk with , ! her. The two girls seated themselves ' j comfortably In the swing and Zizl \ came to the point at once. "You want to help Mrs. Raynor ■ if you ran, don't you, Dolly?” she j asked. "Oh. yes. Indeed—what can I do? | I'm a horn detectives-—and I’ve j read —’’ "Never mind that,” Zizi smiled. I "hut just tell me a few things. | Where’s your wrist watch?’ ’ “Now, how did you know I had one?” “I saw it on your arm in a phojtograph of you that Mr. Kent has—a snapshot—and a good one.” “Yes, that is a good one—the one In that mauve organdie—though, of course, it. doesn’t show mauve in the picture—” “Yes—where is your watch?” “Busted.” “I knew It!” Zizi nodded her black head In satisfaction. "I saw' from the picture it was one of those cheap things—forgive me If I am rude—but this Is important.” “My watch important!" “Yes. Now tell me. when you did

' “Never” “Then—think now —then when you stood on the bridge tbut night with Mr. Kent, and you told him it was 7 o’clock by your watch—was it?” "No—l guess not —for when T got home I was Awful late, anvl mother gave me a wigging. But, yea. tt must have been right, too. for when I said it was seven. Mr. Kent looked at his watch, and ugreed.” "What do you mean agreed?" "Why, be Raid. 'So It is,’ or 'Yes. seven,’ or something like that. What has my watch to do with it?" "Maybe a lot—maybe nothing st all I say. Dolly, you know that old Gannon man. don’t you?" "Oh, ye, very well. He teaches me natural history." "Well enough to go to his house and browse around— and take me?" "Oil. yes. Want to go now?” "Right now.” The girls started at once, and reaching Gannon's house they found that worthy, as usual, sitting on his porch, smoking. "Hello. Grim." cried I v >lly. "were going in to see some butterflies— Zlzt wants to see 'em." "All right. Bo sure to shut the oases after you.” The girls went into the room where the specimens were, where almost all the rest of Gannon’s belongings were also. "What a mass!" said Zizi. "Yes.
