CHAPTER V | Famjly Affairs | Mr. Dobbins raised his finger. | “Wait, sir, stop right there. | ‘Let me reconstruct the scene.” He rolled off this phrase with Busto. “As I understand it, the sun par- lor. on the south side of the house, has four doors, one facing each of the points of the compass.” “Exactly right,” agreed Gddard, “and the north door connects the sun parlor Wwith the house.” i “Opening {hto a hall—" “A cross hally yes" said, { “Now, then” and Dobbins looked | straight at Malcolm Finley, “when | you came in through the east door, ias vou say you did, what did you s .

But there's the | scene — as you call it,” | “The next thing is,” Dobbins j®o- ceeded, “to fix the time accurately. Do you know it, alr.

When T came to the south door I saw Mr, Finley and the others gath- ered round in consternation — just as he described them.” “T have here before me, then, the first arrivals on the scene, with the exception of Miss Turner, I think her presence is advisable.” Dobbins stepped to the door and summoned the nurse, who came at once. “Please tell me of the tragedy as you know it, Miss Turner,” the de- tective said. “There’s little to tell,” said Miss Turner, who leoked utterly worn nd exhausted, perhaps owing to her | experiences with the doctors in the next room. “I heard a shot—" . “At what time?" “At exactly five minutes soven—-" “How do you know so deffnite- Iy . “Because, ay a nurse, 1 always know precisely what time it is.

Only Mr. Dobbins — it must have been one or the other, and they both know it."” “I think Miss Turner should be warned,” putt in Goddard's stern voice, “that she is unwise to ac- cuse any one so definitely of what she cannot prove. AS nearly as I can learn, the ‘scene’ which Mr. Dobbins so earnestly desired to have reconstructed includes some five or six individuals —any one of whom might have shot Mr. Raydor — be- side the possibility of his having shpt himself. Therefore, Miss Tur- ner, for your own good, let me ad- | vise you to say less and think more.” | “After 1 have thought mere — 1| can say a good deal more,” was the significant response to this, and then Miss Turner was called back by the doctors. “A valuable witness, that nurse,” and Detective Dobbins nodded his head in satisfaction, “The way she knew the time, now; there's effici- ency for you — there's reliability for you! We'll learn a lot from that woman when the time comes for her further revelation.” “But don’t forget, Mr. Robbins,” Goddard warned him, “that Miss Turner, 80 far, is just as open to susplcion as any one else. Don't forget that although Mr. Finley was at the eastt door, and Mrs. Ray- nor at the west one, yet they may have been attracted by the sound of a shot that was fired by some one who was at either the north of the south door.” “But Mr, Kent south door—"" “That was later, Mr. Dobbins. It is quite possible that an intruder from outside came in at the south or, fired the shot that killed Mr. | Roynor, and disappeared again, be- | fore Mr. Kentt reached the house at all.” “In that case you would have seen him running away, Mr. Kent?” the detective interrogated. “Not "In the dusk,” returned Or- ville Keénft, thoughtfully. “I am sure, came in at the he woud have had time to get before 1 came to the south | 1t was too dark to see a man if he desired not to be seen — 1‘ mean by that, if he kept to the shadow of the shrubbery.

Goddard followed it up. “As you can clearly see, Mr. Dob- bins the probability of an intrusion by an outsider 48 too strong to be neglected.

HIGH SPOTS HIGH, LOW ONES ARE LW Thig Sums Up the New “Artists and Models"” Show That the high spots are high and the low spots low in the new Artists and Models show, which opened In New York this week, Is the opinion of the critic on the New York Times Who says: A The new “Artists and Models," re- vealed last night at the Astor the- ater before an expectant audience — expectant, ft will be recalled, be- cause of fhe nature of last year's similarly titled entértainment — f{s a good-looking revue with moments that must have llved up to practical- Iy all expectations. Since the first of this series uhdertook to blaze a new trail in the matter of undrap- ing the feminine form, this report should properly begin with the news that the same principle is followed again on the stage of the Astor, As a matter of fact, the dimmed lights and thin curtains that decorously concealed much of the stage in the carlier entertainment have now been oxchanged for bright lights and no curtains at all. Thus does art, albeit not unlinked with trade, march relentlessly onward. By way of accounting for the other ingredients of the complex and much-authored revue that has been fushioned.out of this scason's Ii- lustrators’ Show, it should next be reported that “Artists and Models" contains much heauty, more than a falr amount ‘of comedy - as much, at all events, as there I8 room for Tetween thé numerous songs and dances. And it also contains those sevoral moments of suj iveness that soem to be becoming more and more a part of the up-to-date revue, There is a good deal of this sort of thing in “Artists and Models,” and there is never a moment when the "show I8 not vastly hurtby it.

Thereafter come a dazzling #uccessions of golds and blacks and grays, against which are set the quite fascitating Trini and her dancing, the capable and attractive Nancy, Gibbs, a highly pleasing young person named Flora Lea and an assortment of comedians, The high spots’ are quite high, as is the way with revue, and the low spots are pretty low. There {§ an Ingratiating -and well-handled num- ber entitled “Good Night” in the first half,there are several lovely tableaux there are rose numbersand color numbers, and jaxz numbers, and what not, Tt is all there, the good and the bad, and a pleasant evening's entertainment can be had out of it by liligently watching the stage for about half the time and talking loudly to your neighbor for the other half, Of the comedians, the most amus- ing was one named David See who, being the funniest, was natu ally given the least to do.
