Standing over the dead man, fistul in hand, is Mal- rolm Fii.lcy, former swec-.hcart of Kaynor's wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by the door, with her hand still on the liRht switch. In a moment Nancy appears, white- faced and terrified. Orvillo Kent, Nancy's brother, comes in from the south side of the room, and then Ezra Gmldard, friend of Finley, enters upon the scene. "I didn'"; do it," Finley pro- tests; "I don't think I did." "Then Mrs. Raynor did it," accuses Miss Turner; "before I could get the light on I law you both â€" " Now Goddard I goes toward the stricken man. "Per- jhaps Raynor isn't deau," he says. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Ye*, he's dead," Goddard Mid. after a brief examination. "I thtnk the women should go to their rooma â€"or, at least, away from here." But none of the women would do this, and, as Slits Mattie showed signs of faintness, Eva Turner hvstened away and returned with restoratives. "Hatfield," Ezra Goddard said, giv- ing his orders curtly, "call the family doctor â€" you know his number?" "Oh, yes, sir," and the butler dis- appeared. "Did you shoot Raynor, Malcolm?" was the next question, "No," said Finley, but his face was so drawn with shock and sorrow that his word carried no clear conviction. "Then what are you doing with that picfol?" "I â€" I picked it up â€" as I came in â€" Look here, Goddard, it's none of your business!" "Oh, yes, it isâ€" I'm making it mv business. Have you no more to say?" "No more," said Malcolm Finley. "I have," said the nurse. "It was either Mr. Finlrv or Mrs. RajTior who fired that shot!" CHAPTER IV.

VERNON a CAROY MandiOlng-Otrector Tba Largest Hotel Id the British Eva Rates $4 and $7 and up certainly have attained the rank of celebrated novelist. Moreover, if he had bent his talents and energies to the science of sleuth- ing, he would have risen rapidly to the height of Transcendent Detective, and would have become famous. But detective he was not, for though possessed of the necessary per- spicacity, he had had no training or experience, and knew little or nothing of finger-print work or of third-degree piactice. So it was really owing more to his inherent generalship than to his de- ductive ability that he stopped for ward and a.?sumed control of the entire situation. His efficiency in emergency was well nigh lOU per cent., and within fifteen minutes of the discovery of Douglas Raynor's death, Goddard had sent word to the family physician, the county medical examiner and the local police. And within an hour they had all arrived. Doctor Saxton came first. Though he was the family physician, he had rarely been called to Flpwer Acres, for there had been little illness in the household. When Douglas Raynor be- gan to get faddy about his diet, he sought advice from various well ad- "Thcre are strange conditions here -most peculiar conditions." vertised books, and. later, had decided on the employment of a- resident dieti- tian. Miss Turner was by no means the first of these, indeed, she was merely the present incumbent, and was already slated for dismissal by her patient. But, being present, and being a graduate nurse. Doctor Saxton imme- diately spoke to her professionally, and seemed to rely on her assistance. She came to him tremblingly, and with an obvious aversion to touching or even looking at the dead body of her late patient. "Shot through the heart," the doc- tor said, after a brief investigation. "Who did it?" To this direct question there was no answer. Mi.ss Turner compressed her lips into a straight, unspeaking line, while the others present, who were huddled round the sides of the sun room, gave only ghastly, wonder- ing looks at the doctor. Held by some fascination of horror, they had all remained in the presence of the dead. Goddard had advised it, and the rest had inertly obeyed. Nancy, her hand clasped in her brother's, was half reclining in a long chair, while Miss Mattie sat bolt up- right, eagerly watching everything that transpired, Malcolm Finley sat with folded arms and a calm, inscrutable face, his gray eyes moving slowly from the dead victim of the tragedy to the living wife and back again. From his scrutiny of the livid face and contorted muscles of Raynor Doc- tor Saxton at last lifted a puzzled countenance to the group of anxious spectators. "There are strange conditions here," he said, "most peculiar, inexplicable conditions. Had Douglas Raynor any enemies?" He glanced around the room, and, as no one else spoke, Ezra Doddard said : "In view of the fact that someone shot and killed him,. I think we may logically assume that he had." The lingo of irony was slight, but quite enough to annoy the doctor, j "Not at all, sir. It is perfectly pos- : sible that the shooting might have been an accident, or â€" a "â- â- â€¢icide." I "Oh, was it? Do you think that?" Nan spoke rapidly, in jerky sccenta, ai if surprised but not displeased at this suggestion. *'I can't say yet, Mrs. Raynor. On the face of it, it looks as if he had been shot down by the hand of an- other, but until after a more detailed examination, I prefer not to give a definite opinion. And for that, I want to /wait the arrival of the medical examiner. When her comes, I must ask that we be left by ourselves, ex- cept that I wish Miss Turner to re- main with us in her professional ca- pacity." "I'd like to say a wordâ€"" began Malcolm Finley, but Goddard stopped him peremptorily. "Not a word, Mai. Surely you know better. This is not the time or place for any revelation, theory or suspicion. In fact, I ask all of you to say nothing definite or vital until the examiner and the detectives get here." "I shall say what I choose," an- nounced Kan, "and I say â€" " "My dear Mrs Raynor," Goddard .'•poke quietly, dut looked at Ver with a steady gaze, "just reflect a moment or. the fact that f.uite aside iv->rr your.'Jel.', what you would say might effect o'bers in a -vay for whiji von \Vould be sorry." "What do you mean?" she said. "It doesn't matter what I mean, but it might matter a great deal what you say, so I ask you, I beg of you, to say nothing." His insistence â- tvon the day, and Nan said no more, except now and then in a whisper to Orry. And so, when Doctor Fraser, the examiner, came, everybody was turned out of the room except Nurse Turner. The others filed into the large living room and seated themselves. Malcolm Finley almost gave way to his strong desire to sit by the side of Nancy, but compelled himself to conquer it, and crossed the room to sit besid-i Miss Mattie. She, however, was so pointedly cold and distant of manner, that Finley turned aside and began talking to Goddard. "I hope a fairly decent detective will be sent," he said ; "for this is not a case to be bungled." "It is not, indeed," Goddard assent- ed; "I only hope the doctors can prove it a suicide." "Why?" cried Nan. "Suicide is the deed of a coward â€" and Douglas was ni ver that!" "No, he was not," Goddard -said; "yet I viish it might have been â€" for a murder mystery is a long, hard road to traveL" "It's murder â€" but it's no mystery." These words were spoken by Miss Mattie. She looked straight at Nan, and though she said no more definite word, it was easily seen that already she accused Nancy Raynor of the death of her husband. "But Nancy didn't shoot him," the spinster added, and Nan looked up quickly, to see the stern old face as accusing as ever, and the sharp old eyes glaring at her. "I don't know what you moan," she said, wearily, and leaning back in her chair she closed her eyes, and her brother watched her affectionately. "I wish Nan would go to her room," Orville Kent said; "she can be of no use tonight, and when the policemen come it will drive her frantic." "She ought to be driven frantic," Miss Mattie's cold voice declared. "Of course she can't go to her room, Or- ville; she must be questioned with the rest of us." Notwithstanding the awfulness of the occasion, it was quite clear that Miss Mattie looked forward to the questioning not without relish. At last, to her satisfaction, the po- lice arrived. The others, too, felt a certain sense of relief. j (To be continued.)
