FEva Turner, Raynor's !nurse, stands by the door with her hand still on the light switch, In a moment Nancy appears, white-faced and terrified. Orville Kent, Nancy's brother, comes in from the south !side of the room, and then Kzzra Goddard, friend of Finley, with others, enter upon the scene. Police, headed by Detective Dobbins, are conducting an- investigation. “I picked up the weapon after finding the body of Raynor on the floor," _explaing Finley. Nurse Turner fixes the time of the shot at five minutes hefore seven. “Is her testimony to be relied on?" asks Goddard. ,NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Just what do you mean by that, Mr. Goddard?" “Only that if Miss Turner chose, for any reason, to state the time in- accurately, she could of course do 0.

For it is an open secret—" “You are not being interrogated, Miss Raynor,” Goddard interrupted her; “kindly be silent.” “Be silent yourself, Mr. Goddard, You are, I know, a friend of Mr. Finley, and you, of course, fear any disclosures that will involve his, but let me tell you those disclosures must be made — the affair of Nancy and Malcolm Finley must be made public, and then the motive for the doing away with my poor brother can no longer be a mystery.” “Oho,” and Dobbins looked en- | lightened, “that’'s how it is, is it? Now, Mrs. Raynor, since you are ready to answer me, just what; were your personal relations with your late husband?

If a lamb chop ls brollled at noontime for the junior member of the family the dinner problem is simplified for the mother, A chlld under school age should not be allowed to eat the stuffing of the roast and his salad should be dressed with ¥rench dressing. The mother of children of school age should not hope to enjoy the “16-minute” breakfast. It takes time to prepare even the simplest meal of the day if she would have it provide the necessary nourish- ment for growing minds and bodies. The spinach mentioned in the breakfast menu should be reheated in as much butter as your consclence or food allowance will condone, If the spinach is left over from a pre- vious meal or cooked the day before Nttle time is needed for its morning preparation. Carrot Soup Two cups chopped carrots, 4 tablespoons hutter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 3 cups stock. Wash and scrape carrots and put through food chopper. There should be two cups.
