And I'm going to do it." BEGIN HERE TODAY. Douglas Raynor is found shot through the heart in the early evening on the floor of the sunnxmi of Flower Acres, his Long Island home. Stand- ing over the dead man, pistol in hand, is Malcolm Kinlcy, former sweetheart of Raynor's wife, Nar.cy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by the light switch. In a moment Nancy appears, white-faced and terrified. Orvillo Kent, Nancy's brother; Ezra Goddard, friend of Kinley; Miss Mattie, Ray- nor's sister, and others, enter upon the scene. Detective Dobbins heads the police investigation. An autopsy reveals that "laynor also was being ii> stcmatically poisoned with arsenic. Lionel Raynor, ; on of Douglas Raynor by first marriage, comes to claim his father's estate. Kinley accuses (irim- nhaw Gannon, a hirp<l man, of hiding the original will whi( 'â-  favors Nancy. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLâ€" (Cont'd.) "The copy was found in your house." "That doesn't prove the original is there" "It proves that it may be," and Finley watched closely the changing countenance of the man. "Maybe's a long way off," Gannon said. He puzzled Finley; and Goddard, too, was at a loss jujt how to take him. But as if by an inspiration, Finley gaid, suddenly, "Oh, of course you don't know anything about it. But we can get all necessary information from Pftersâ€" the other witnes".." â- 'Peters!" Gannon's face fell. "You don't know where he is." "Oh, don't we!" "Say â€" do you know where Peters is?" Gannon was whining now. "We do. Now, here's your last chance, Gannon." This from Goddard. "Do you want to come clean about the will â€" or take your chances on getting into trouble over the thing?" Gannon considered. He locxked from one to the other, and shrewdly con- cluded they were â€" partly, at least â€" bluffing. "I'll take my chances," he said, and resumed his pipe. And no amount of further cajolery, threatening or argument could gain any more information from him. • • * • * . Detective Dobbins had a long ses- sion with Doctor Saxton. The family physician admitted that there had been occasions when he had felt a slight suspicion that Douglas Raynor indulged in morphine, but he had never seen sufficient definite symptoms to prove it to his own satis- faction. Dobbins' story of the mor- phine .N'an threw away made him very thoughtful. "I do wi.ih I could prove up her yarn." he said. "No, I've never sus- pected her of touching morphine her- relf â€" and I'm sure she wasn't an ad- dict â€" but when a woman suffers as she has, it is not surprisng if they turn to narcolirs for relief. ".N'evtr mind your opinions. Doc, get down to facts. Was there any trace of morphine found in the ston)- Bch of Douglas Raynor at the autopsy?" "Not a trace," and Doctor Saxton looked carefully at the report he held. "What would be the cure?" "Why, atropine, of course." "Was any trace of atropine men- tioned in the report?" "No;" and again the doctor scrutin- ized the typewritten statement. "But there was plenty of evidence of cumulative arsenical {loironing?" "Plenty." "Then the yarn falls to the ground. It was clever, but she is a clever wo- man. I believe, as you suggested, that her troubles forced her to the use of morphine. That she dc;troye 1 it rather than have it known to ',ie in her possession. That she pretended lit was her husband who toolc it, to ?ave her own reputation. And ' n, it came in handy to say the 'ablets she gave him seci-etly were *o "iire him of a drug habit â€" there are such things, aren't thereâ€"?" "Oh, yes. There aix: such remedies advertised, an-' many foolish, hope- ful wives have secretly tried to cure their unsuspecting husbands of tho drink or drug habit by such meanj." "Why foolish wives?" "Because it never succeeds, and i usually worse trouble ensues." | "Well, the kind of morphine fhej threw away â€" white powder â€" is kind that is taien internally, isn': "Yes." "And wo'ild 'je found in tho sto.mach after deal'i?" "If taker rtcently enough." "Well, as rc'llier of these things are shown and as arsenic is shown CHAPTER XIL AS TO MKSS TURNER. "Mrs. Raynor," Dobbins said, speak- ing gravely and very respectfully, "I wonder if you can tell me anything about your husband's young life â€" be- fore ycu married him." "Only in a gene','.! way," Nan an- swered. "He was married before, you know, and had one child, Lionel. I never knew his first wife; I think she died before they had been married many jears." "It was a love match?" ventured the detective. "Are these questions necessary, Mr. Dobbins?" "Perhaps not absolutely necessary, but advisable." "Then I will say that while Mr. Raynor had my esteem and respect, I was not what may be called in love with him." "But married him at your father's orders, eh?" "In accordance with my father's wishes, certainly." "And hf've had no reason to regret the step?" "I protest, Mr. Dobbins." "Well, Mrs. Raynor, to tell you the truth, I am trying to get at some- Color Effects In Vases DARLING OF MODE.

Ises had many points to make them In- "No;" but Nan looked troubled. Flowers appeal to us through their lovely colors and add a touch of charm to our hemes. Often the color Is .lust llio tuch which i.s needed to complete a color scheme In the room. Just how a happy result may be ob- tained Is explained by Miss Gladys Oallup, extension home management specialist for the Washington State College. In selecting flowers, the room in which they are to be placed is the first thfuK to do considered. We could not use orange California popple.s in a rose-colored room, for instance, although they would be most beaLtiful In a room done in tans and bronze, Nature is our best guide and Is the ideal which we should Imitate. If we would just study them as they grow, we would not .so readily spoil them by putting them in wrong colored bowls or in wrong colored rooms, nor would we put together flowers which clash. The use of a single color Is always most effective, such a.s pink roses in a dull green vase. Our problem onyl becomes a complicated one when we try to combine several colors of flow- ers iu one bouquet or to place flowers in a different colored vane. We may obtain harmony by con- trast of complimentary colors. This Is always pleasing. For in.stance, a room done in soft tans and browns with a bit of orange, can be made more attractive with contrasting blue flowers. We might combine orange marigolds and blue forget-me nots In a bowl. Of course, we would use more forget-me-nots than orange marigolds, as we always use a cooler color In greater quantity. The Cali- fornia poppy with the nasturtium in a neutral colored vase might be used. The California poppy is always pretty with bachelor buttons. A single color can be u.'^ed in beautiful variations. We might use the California poppy with the nar;tur- tium in a neutral color vase. The bitter-sweet berries are lovely with the orange and brown seed pods. A mixed color scheme is sometimes used effectively. That Is, flowers of many colors are used together. This Is successful if equal amounts of each color are used, with the excep- tion of red orange. Only a little of the latter two colors should be used. We should remember that flow- ers should not be crowded into a vase new frocks, but there isia"'^ "'"t '"ost flowers look better if too, that they will change "sed «ith their own foliage "Married him at your father's orders, eh?"

If so, name her, and I will tell you if 1 can corroborate your sus- picions." 'Very well, then" â€" Dobbins glanced around â€" "the nurse, Mis.s Turner." Nancy Raynor looked starf.cd. "I hate to breathe suspicion with no real evidence to go upon," she said, slowly, "but I ha.'e had doubts of Miss Turner's sincerity. Yet my reasons are so slight â€" merely a glance of hers at my hu.'^band, v.hen she thought no one saw her, or a stern set of her lips as she turned away from him. This may have been only in my imagina- tion, but from many such instances I somehow gathered that she hated him." "If so, Mr.s. Raynor, that would pre- suppose a pevious acc]uaintance would it not?"
