Starldin.; over the dead man, pistol in hand, is Malcolm Finley, former sweetheart of Raynor's wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by ihj light Avitch. In a moment Nancy appears, white-faced and terri- fied. Orville Kent, Nancy's brother, comes in from the sou',h side of the room. And then Ezra Goddard, friend of finley; Miss Mattie, Raynor's sis- ter, and others, enter u.tn the scene. Detective Dobbins heads the police investigation. An a-jtop. -j reveals that Raynor also was being system- atically poisoned with arsenic. Detec- tive Dobbins tells Nancy that he re- trieved a package contj.ining bottles of morphine which she threw away. Nancy tells him she found the mor- phine Emong her husband's belongings. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "A likely story!"' the detective scoffed. "That won't go down, Mrs. Raynji. You found the stuff among his things after you had put it there. Now, as I see it, you not only gave your husband poison tablets but you are yourself a morphir.e addict â€" " "Oh, stop!" Nan cried, goaded be- yind e-durance, "I didn't take the stuff â€" he did!" "Your husband took drug.,?" • "Yes; I will tell you, but don't let it b(:C(»me publicâ€" tior.'t let Miss Ray- nor know â€" my husband was a secret indulger in morphine â€" and the tablets I put in his teacup or coffee ii.p were â€"were to cure him of the h.ibit." "Oh, Nan, was tha', it?'' Finley 's eyes gleamed with a glad relief at this explanation of the tablets. But Dobbins shoi.k his head. "In genious, Mrs. Raynor, positively a master-stroke! But it won't wash. The late Mr. Raynor showed no symp- toms of being a druf a;!dic'., there â- were no traces of morphine f>,und at the autopsyâ€" and I'm a/raid I must »et this story down as an invention of your (lever brain. I'd l>o glad fo think you had such a plau: iblo excuse for tliv tablets, but 1 can't see it. H(jw- ever, I'll put it up to the doctors. They'll know for certain whether your explanation can possibly be a true one â€" " "Very well," Nancy Raynor drew herself up in scornful dignity, 'go and ask the doctors â€" as a detective it is your right â€" but as a man, I ask you not to divulge the fact of my hus- band's weakness, unless absolutely necessary. I .'ant to save hit name from that stigma â€" if I can â€" " "That stigma will never resi on the name of Douglas Raynor," and Dob- bins' look signified anew h's disbelief in the whole story. He went away and Nan, turning to Finley, said: "I think it would fo wise for you to go away, Malcolm. I have all I can hear with these hor.-'ble scenes, and t have you near me â€" and yet not able to let my.^i'lf go." "Keep your h'-ad now. Nanâ€" don't get hysterical. 1 know you've enough to make you so â€" but don't. Tell me about the morphine, dear." "There's nothii.g to tell, except what I said.

Won't you realize this â€" " But you can't â€" you musn't t ,1k like that." "Oh, what are the conventions be- tween us? You never loved Raynor, did you? And you do love me?" The briefest glance of the beauti- ful, sad eyes gave P'inley his answer. And, then, before either could speak again, Dolly Fay came running toward the ar'oor. "Oh, Nan," she cried â€" and, seeing Finley, she added, "shall I speak right out ' efore the Prince?" "Yes," said Nan, smiling a little, "speak out, Dolly; what is it?'' "Whv, 1 found the will for you." "The will?" "Yes. Mr. Raynor's will that leaves the money to youâ€" you know." "Crazy child â€" what do you mean?" /'Don't you call me a crazy child â€" look at that!" Dolly pro-duced a much folded paper. "A will doesn't look like this, dear â€" a will is an important looking docu- ment." But an unfolded the flimsy yellow thing inadvertently. Nancy, you go with that papei to Stratton i<t once.

On his way to Gannon's house, Fin- ley was joined by Flzra Goddard, and they went togethei. "You're in an ..noninlous position, Malcolm," Goddard said, scrioilsly; "you're more than half fu.^pcctcd o( that shooting, you knowâ€" and yet you (|i>n't deny it ix/uit-blank." "They can't pro\,e it on me," Fin- ley spoke dellanlly. "Why worry?" "Don't be flippant. Sometimes I think you really did do it â€" " "Thank you!" "Don't be silly! If you did, I'm not sure I'd blame you much. That woman was going through hell with that man! He oj.iht to have been shot. On the other hand, f she shot him, you're holding off to shield her â€" when necessary â€" " "Why, Goddard, you ought to l)e a detective! A scientific one! How you do discern things! I'm amazed at your perpiscuity! But nevor n ina the murder for the moment â€"listen to this complica;ion about the will." Finley told him the whole story of the cop> of the will â€" and then said: "Now, if Gannon and young Ray"hor are in cahoots, we must find it out; and if they're not â€" then â- vfe must learn all we can from Gannon. They found Gannon on his porch as usual. "Whatcha want?" he growled as they approache<i. "We want to know about the Ray- nor will," Goddar<l said, sternly; "and we want the truth. We have the car- bon copy and we w<itii, the original. Where is it?" "Dunr.o, gentlemen; you're barkin' up the wrong tree." "No, we're not," said Finley decid- edlp. "You know where that will is â€" and you'd better produce it!" "Now, now, Mr. Finley," the old man removed his pipe from his mouth as he glowered at the speaker, "it don't become you â€" the suspected murderer of Mr. Rayror and che pre- sent lover of Mrs. Raynor, to come around here with such talk! You ain't in no position to threaten me â€" you'd better lay low, if you know what's good for yourseli." "Grimshawe Gannon, you're an old n-an â€" or I'd knock you down for that speech!

Evidently a carbon copy made at the same time the will was typed, and, of course, identical in wording. Finley took it and perused it in- tently. "Thal'.s what it is. Nan. Where did you get it, Dolly?" "Oho â€" I'm not such a crazy child after allâ€" am I? Well, I'll tell you." She gave a detailed account of her finding the will in Gannon'.s house. "You see," Finley said to Nan, "this is merely a copy, and it is neither signed nor witnessed, herefore it is of no value as a will, but it is of great value as a proof that a will in your favor was drawn." "Oh, I know it was â€" I s.aw it," Ni(n said. "This proves it," Finley went on. "You've done a great thing for Mrs. Raynor, Dolly. And I think. Nan, you should get this copy into the hands of your lawyer just as soon as pos- sible. There's tricky work going on â€" and from Dolly' story, I begin to think Lionel Raynor and old Gannon are pajs-" "Oh, Jio," Dolly cried: "they're mad as hops at each other!"

From a compla- cent, bullying old man, Gannon changed to a cringing, frightened coward. "What do you mean, Mr. Finley? I don't know anything about the will." (To ')e continued.)

Anglo-Saxon Rapprochement La Patrie (Cons.): Mr. Dawes has suggested to the English that they should take their American visitors around to the places where tbeir an- cestors came from. Nothing could move them more, he said. He men- tl'ned his own case, and did not hide the i)ieasiire he had in finding him- self at Sudbury, where he could trace his origin. It is in fact a common- place pleasure enough for any Ameri- can. Every Smith ind Jones can experience the same. And this is how. In the simplest manner imagin- able, the Anglo-Saxon rappn.chement will be brought about. As far as we are concerned, we find no sentimental attraction in all this. But we can- not resist a hope that a solid friend- ship will be established between Americans and English, who after all are their parents. As long, that is to say. as this friendship Is not neces- sary directed against any other na- tion. And to make this more clear, there can be friendship between Eng- land and the United States without this hurting. In our opinion, our cor- dial relations with France. tralla, and India.
