Kva Turner, Kflvnor'a nurse, stands by the light Bwitch. In a moment Nancy appt'ars, K'hiti-faced and terrified. Orville Kent, Nancy's brother, comes in from the ^outh side of the room. And then Kzra Coildard, friend of Kinley: Mi^is Mattie Kaynor's sister, and others, rnter upon the t^cene. Detective Dob- bin* htads the police invefligation. An autopsy reveals that Raynor also was i»!-ing sj-stematirally poisonod with arvcnic. Lionel Raynor, «on cf Douglas Ravnor liv first marriage, come» to claim his father's estate. Kin- ley ami Orville Kent are talking when Gotldard and Detective Dotihins np- proach them. "The one most Ix-ne- fitt«d by the <li^\h ^ 'J\^ victim jj- Mrs. Raynor," snys Dobbinor ' "^ ^•0W GO ON WITH THE .STORY '.She's r<»l benefitted at sH," 'Jiid Orry, coolly. "She's practically cut cflrâ€" •' "She didn't Ijnow that until nfter the deed was done," returned Dob- bins, "and I don't mean financially only Mrs. Raynor was exceedingly unhappy with her husband, she had tried for fouie time to take his lift- by administering a slow, cumulative poison. Not succeeding, and urged on by Ihe reappearance of her former milor, which, I admit, made the atti- tude of her husband harder to bear, Mrs. Raynor became desperate and ended her bondage, for it was a bond- •gf, by shooting her tyrant." "But you accuse nie of the shoot- ing," said Finley. "Only my finger- prints were found on the revolver, I'm told." "That was a clever stunt of yours. Mr Finley," ar.d the detective looked at hijn with n sort of grudging ad- miration. "1 believe ycj picked up that pistol, just as you said you did â€" and, I believe that you had ."cen who drop- ped it â€" who tired it, as wellâ€" and, to save her you were quick-witted enough to whip cut your handkerchief and polijhed off all finger-marks except your own. It was an inger.iour dodge, and it worked â€" in thr.t it eliminated the prints cf Mr.». Raynor's fingers. Hut you can't pet nhoad cf me, Mr. Finleyâ€" I'm onto your little games." The astounded, even crestfallen look which Malcolm Kinley was not quite quick enough to hide, seenud to cor- roborate the opinions of the detec- tive. "Cut it out, Dobbins,", said Grille Kent, sternly; "perhaps you have .some reason to su.^pect my sister of g'ving t.".bletR of fome sort to Mr. Raynor, but you have no evidence to warrant such a suspicion as you are now suggest- ing! -My sister was out on the west Add o this the symptoms of arsenicall "Me?

But here's another thing, Mr. Doiibins. Ali you say regarding Mrs. Raynor might fipply K|uaily to somebody else. As to tho shooting, it would be just as logic- al to suspe<-t Miss Turner, say, for she was nearer the spot where Mr. Raynor fell than his wife was. Y'ou t.ay I «ipcd fingerprints from that weai'on. .May they not have been those of the n'.irse".'" ".She had no motive â€" Mrs. Raynor had." •'.Motive is a good deal, but it isn't everything," Finley per.si.sted. "Again, at to the tablets. .Supftc-e Mrs. -Ray- nor was giving her hu.sband simple tablet.s â€" soda or something â€" and sup- pose some one else, say ,i di.sgruntled Kprvan*:, \.as administcrinf; the poison. Then wouldn't the most likely thing bo for the poisoner to 'plant' the poison in a vase in Mrs. Raynor's room â€" " "l/ook here, Mr. Finley, you're ro- mancing altogether too much. 1 haven't time for such balderdash. If you, or anybody else, has any facts to communicate to me, go .-head, but otherwise, I mus-t go en with n y pro- ceedings against Mrs. Raynor. If she is really innocent, it nnist come out â€" if she is g\iiltyâ€" it must be bhown. Justice must be done." In the meantime. Nan Rnynor, nt her wits' end as to what course to pursue, was walking in the Italian garden. As she paced the flcwer- 'I'eace of mind â€" now, I dunno, ma'am â€" that's a large order, ptace of mind.

You, yourself, were down on the bridge a good three hundred yards away and you know nothing of the fitwation except by hearsay â€" " "Well, there's no truth in the state- ment that my sister shot â€" " "Oh, shut up, Kent," said Ezra Gnddard, impatiently. "We know your love and loyalty for your sister prompts all this defence <d her, but it doesn't get us anywhere-." "Well, we're going to get some- where," declared Dobbins, "and mighty <iuiik, too. I'll take up tho poisoning business first. We have everything to prove that â€" except .Mrs. Raynor's own confession â€" which o can hardly expect." "What's youi pir.,f?" demanded Kent. ''We have found four Uifleient pt-o- ple who saw Mrs. Raynor Itrtively flip something into her husband's tea or coffee cups, we have found a l>ook un poisons concealed in her bookcase, and »o have found tablets hidden in a vase in her bedroom v.hich, when analyzed, were found to he arsenic.

Her brother l.-vt-d li<i â€" but after all, Orry seemed to her more like a child, than a source of help or strength. iMalcoJm Finley loved her â€" but just now he was the last one to apply to. Miss Raynor was a weather vane. Now she seenie<l foml cf Nan, ami re- sented her suspicions of her, and the next minute she would be voicing the same suspicions herself. As Nan walked along, her hands clasped behind her, her eyes cast down, she was joini-d ly Grinishaw Gannon. She had n»ver liked the old man, but at her husband's especial com- mand,' she had always been courteous to him. She had never understood the link that bound these two illy assorted natures, but fhe couldn't help s eing there was one. ^ For, occasionally, Gannon would come up to the house and be closeted an hour or so with Rnynor, after which episode Raynor would bo unusually harsh to Nan. By this she knew that tho relations be- tween the two men were not amicable; for it was always after Raynor had had an unpleasant interview with somebody else, that he vented his irrit- ability on his wife. And so, in accordance with her usual habit. Nan noddcid a greeting to Gannon and said n pleasunt gotKl morning. "You know, Mrs. Raynor,' he began,! abruptly, "I know u lot about your] husband."

"Well, it's just this. Young Rnynor has come here to make trouble for you, nia'nm." "Has he?" "Yes, he has, and I knew it. Yon know he's going to take all his fath- er's property, and you don't get any See?" 'What do you knoxv abrtit that will, Mr. Gannon?"

Washington, president of the Tuskepee Institute, founded to spread lechnif:al instruc- tion among the niillions of coloured people of the United States. Now, tn the Southern Stales, there Is an at- tempt to start a new campaign of the same kind ngainst the latest occupant of the White House. Mra.

The deputies of the Slate of Florida have convented In ihclr LcrIs- lature, and oJIicially censured Mrs. Hooverâ€" as if the wife of the^'resi- deut had not the rl^ht to receive col- oured persons at the White House and as if an American of the hint k race were not a citizen of Ihe Hepub- Uc.

Town Planning 1-1 Presse <Ind.): (Towns and cities In England and Wales, most of them having a population of less than 20,000, have commenced town planning programs affecting an area of over three million acres.) .^re we tfl Canada going to shew less sense than this, where we have the advan- tage over the world of workin;; wltb what Is practically new ground, in vast stretches of country with a rela- tively small population. In Montreal, several mistakes have already been made, which will not be easily cor- rected. And yet. If we ara- ready to make the effort, we can still make not merely a good job of it, but a beautiful one as well. For we ought not to forget, and Mr. Blucher, sec- retary of the City Planning Coaiuls- slon of Detroit, emphasized this at the Wicclpeg Congress, it Is not enough for a city to acquire territory and importance, it must aim to grow in beauty, so as to reconcile its com- mercial interests with the interests of its fame abroad. Freedom of the Seaa Quebec Kveuement (Cons.): Naval Disarmament may be only a vain hope and the conference set for July in the United States, to which Canada will bo invited, will not prevent our power- ful neighbours from realizing their dream of possessing a great fleet. But in consecrating the principle that the seas ought to be free for commerce the British and American Goverti- ments will have done i great piece of woik for the peace of tho world.
