BEGIN HERE TODAY The body of Douglas Raynor is found in the early evening on the floor of the sun room at Flower Acres, his TLong TIsland home. Raynor has been shot through the heart, Standing over the dead man, pistol in hand, is Malcolm Finley, former sweetheart . of Raynor' wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by the door with her hand 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 Ezra Goddard, friend of Finley, with others, enter upon the scene, Detec- tive Dobbins conducts an inyestiga- tion. Minley explains that he came into the room after the shot was fired and picked up the weapon. Dolly Fay, a ncighbor girl, gives Nancy a note from Finley. The note advises Nancy to remain quiet. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Silently Nan meditated on this, until Dolly, tived of waiting for her to speak, leaned over her and read the missive too. “What does he mean, Nan?" she asked. “What he says, T suppos It's good advice and I shall follow: it. Dolly, you wormed yourpelf into this thing — you had no right to read this note—" “Oh, don’t you be afraid of me, Nancy. I won't tell a single thing you don't want me to.” i “Oh, why are you here at all? I shouldn't have let you stay—but I said, peremptorily. And as she obeyed, he admonished her, *Are you crazy, Nan? For heaven's sake keep away from TFinley at least fln- til after the funerhl!” “Yes, Orry,” she said, docilely. “Stay by me or Miss Mattle all the time, You can't be too careful, Nan." “Of course T'll do all that — T know my duty—" and Nan once more regained the poise that was natural to her, Doctor Fraser and Detective Dob- bins arrived and called the house- hold together in the great Iliving room. Tt was clear to be seen that they were possessed of new and impor- tant nformation, - and ' Dobbins seemed’ scarcely able:to control his own, excitement as the medical ex- aminer began his inquiries. “We have found strange condi- tions,” Fraser began, addressing himself principally to Nan, but tak- ing In the rest in his roving glance. | “Of course Mr. Raynor was killed by a pistol shot.” It was fired at short range, the bullet entered his heart and death was practically instan-| was 5o dazed and troubled last night 1 scarcely realized that you werc here.” “Now, Nan, I'm here to help you. Honest, I won't tell. a thing you don't want, me to — why, what have you been doing? HMere's a whole heap of ashes in the fireplace! You bean . burning things?” “It's chilly, isn't 1t? Let's start & little fire.” Hastily and rather nervously, Nan laid on some wood from the basket and Dolly ran for a match, Soon a fire was blazing and. into it Nan thrust the note ‘she had just read. She sank into a low chair before the fire and asked Dolly to ring for her maid. “We'll have tea here, Dolly, and then we'll dress and go down to breakfast.” “Yes, dear,” and Dolly fluttered around her with loving little atten- tions and drew a low table fo her side. Dolly adored Nap, and always en- deavored to imdtate her ways. So now she teo was quiet and com- posed. “Listen, Dolly,” Nan said, after they had had their tea, T can tsust you, can't 17" “To the end!” gaid Dolly. * “Then, dear, I'll tell you, that I| am in deep trouble. Don’t ask me any questions, don't tell anybody anything about me, but help me all you can — won't you, Dolly?"” “Indeed, T will.” “Then this is what you can do, dear. Take this little parcel and hide it somewhere among your owm things until I ask you for it again, Have you some place — where no- body can get at it»* **Oh, yes, 1 have a drawer in my desk that 1 always keep locked.” “And can you get it over home without attracting attention?” “Don’t worry, Nan, darling—trust | all to me.

Be true and faith- ful to me, won’t you, Dolly?” Nan looked ytterly despairing, and Dolly put her arms round her as she reassured her of her love and loy- aity. . “All and Nan sud- up and looked brave and strong again. “Now, dress, and we'll go downstairs.” Nancy Raynor dressed herself with care, choosing a plain bjack gown, and massing her dark hair in a soft coil.

But an autopsy has re- vealed the fact that Mr. Rayner was also the victim of poisoning.” He paused and . ‘looked at one after another of the silent group. Only Miss Mattie showed excite- Fraser went on, “an'ex- amination of the contents of the stomach shows the presence of ar- senic, taken-very lately. “As may not be known to you laymen, the symptoms of cumula- | tive arsenical poisoning are anemia, shortness of breath, occasional prostration, palior, and excesive thirst. All these things were pres- ent in Mr. Raynor's case, and I'm sure you can remember them.” “I do,” Miss Mattie cried. “Ob, my poor Douglas! Yes, he was so thirsty at luncheon yesterday, he after another! Poisoned! Oh, my God! The elderly spinster hid her face in her hands. “This,” Fraser went on, “opens up a new field of inquiry. We mum“ assume that some one administered the arsenic from day to day—" “Unless it was suicide,” put in Goddard. here is that possibility," Fraser admitted, “but it is highly improbable. To resume: This pro- cess of arsenical poisoning of Mr. Raynor must have been going on for at least a fortnight or so, and had he not been shot, and had the poisoning continued. the man must have died ‘from its effects in the course of another fortnight.” The alert eyes of Detective Dob- bins scrutinized the faces before him. But save for the contorted and agonized countenance of Miss. Mat- tie, they were all stonily devoid of expression. Nancy Raynor looked like a statue cut in marble. Her face was colorless, even her lips were almost white, and her great ' dark eyes were piercingly fastened on the face of Doctor Fraser. “Can anyone present,’ E Fraser to go. Nancy Raynor presided at the breakfast table, and at first no one was there with her but Ezra God- dard, went on, “suggest any explanation ot this peisoning process?"” As no one replied, he questioned each in turn. “Certainly not,”” Naney Raynor “Excuse me, it I speak abruptly.” | «aiq, her voice and manner perfect- | left the room for a moment, “but,{would attempt to polson my hus- Raynor, {f you want any help ' pand and I am most certainly sure or advice that I can give, command | . never thought of doing such & me.
