Kaynor by lir'-t marriage, conies t . claim his father's estate. Nurse Turrer con- fesses to attempting t" puis'ti Douglas Raynor for revenue. I'lnnington Wise, a celebrated detective, and his girl assistant, '/MI, are i-allnl to take the caso out of the hand* oi DeUrtive Pohltins. (iriin-lm v (i.-iniion tells Wise that Nancy married Douglas Kayn<-r because she wrongly thought fhe could save her ailing father from \ forgery charge. NOW CO ON WITH THK STORV. LS ] I apprit-intc the love anil affection thai it shows to have you willing to take evi-n crime on your 5hrwlders to lift it from hers. I know how black the case is against her I know how you have tried ti> devi.-w some means. nf g'-tting her freed from suspicion. And I know that now, when you can't help seeing that the in-t is tightening nmnd her the last ikubts (if her guilt slippers. Then, *he would thi:ik, tho clew wo-iltl be misleading, as," he louk- ed at Wise, ''as it seems to be." ''Oh, I don't know," suit! Wise, "have you noticed the direction in which this points?" "Well, it is pointed toward the place where my father fell, if that's what you mean." ''That isn't what I mean,' said Wise. And then, with a murmur of excuse, the detective left the room and went into the house. In the hall, he met Xi/.i and drew- her aside for a word. "Come with me, Xizi, to talk with Kent. And watch him. V,>u know when anybody is making up a yarn, if you pretend to believe him, ha will go on and elaborate his falsification until he defeats his own end^. Now, Kent is putting up a confession to save his sister. If we can persuada him that his sister is in no danger, he will doubtless retract, but 1 propose to let him think she In strongly suspected, and see him insist on his own guilt. Any way, wo must learn all he knows if he is so certain of Mrs. Kaynor's guilt, he must know more than we do." The two we.nt to Orville Kent's rooms. These were two sunny, pleasant rooms on the south side of the house. Kent received them in his sitting- room which was more like a studio, not a working studio, but th room of an art lover and dilettante. "Come in," he said, gravclv "Vou want to see me? Take a seat, Miss vanishing I know that in your u " pr j\vij O is it? "Thank you," and Zizi slid toward the chair indicated. "Oh!" she cried, pausing en route, "what a dear face! desperation you have concluded to avow the crime yourself and take her 'punishment. But, Mr. Kent, this is not so easy a matter to accomplish as it seems to you, and ''in going to ad- vise you ajrainst your plan. I'm going to ask you to give me 2-1 hours :tt least to find out the real truth." "Take your 24 hour*, Mr. \Vi<e," ai.l Kent, slowly. ( HAI'TKK XVI.
