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 Long Island home. Raynor has been shot through the heart, Standing over the dead man, pistol in hand, is Malcolm Finley, former sweethéart of Raynor's 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; Miss Mattie, Raynor's sister, and others, enter upon the scene, Detective Dobbins heads the police investiga- tion, An autopsy reveals that Ray- nor was being systematically pol- soned by arsenic, and Naney is sus- pected as the poisoner of her brutal husband. Dobbins comes to inter- view Nancy, but is intercepted by Goddard, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “That's all right, Mr. Dobbins— and I'll make you this proposition. Let me help you, and I'll agree to play fair. You tell me all you dis. cover and I'll tell you what I learn. “Humph. What can you learn “Don’t be supercilious, You may yet be glad to come around to my theo “Have you one?" “Rather. And a good one, It is that an outsider, an evil intentlonal intruder came in and shot Raynor, at dusk, and made away without be- “Not at all—he left his footprint on the sun room floor.” “Very good of him, I'm sure! And from that footprint, will you please tell me the color of Lis hair and what clothes he wore? Also his age and height? T've read story books, you see?” “Then if you have, why didn't you find that footprint for yourself?” Goddard spoke seriously. “It's right there, under the eyes of anybody who chooses to look for it.” “Yes, unles it has been washed oft today. I saw it yesterday. Come on. I'll show you."” The two men went to the sun par- lor, and on its floor of red tiles, b tween two rugs. was certainly a aint. {rregular footprint, made quite evidently by some one who wore new rubbers. “Pooh,” said Dobbins, “that might have come there before or after the ghooting time,” “Might have, yes, but isn't 1t up to you to prove it did or it didn't? Oughtn't you to know who has been here wearing new rubbers? They are not commonly worn by ladies and gentlemen of a household like ome of the servants—" Nonscnse, servants don't wear overshoes to clean floors!"” “A visitor—an errand hoy—" “Why surmise? Why not find out for certain?” Dohbins hegan to look grave “Much obliged te you, Mr. Ged- dard, it certainly calls for investi- gation. And I'll accept your offer of help. If T tell you what T lsarn, you must tell me anything you discover.” “Agreed, though I doubt if I dis- cover anything of importance. My forte is deduction rather than search.” By reasen of further request on Goddard’'s part, Dobbins left the search of Nan's room until the next day, and then fie declared his inten- tions. “Certainly rooms, Mr. quietly you may search my Dopbins.” Nan said, hall I come with you?"

But S SHARP EYEES NOTICED A BOOK SET ASKEW ON that at arsenical poisoning leaves were thumbed and worn as it by an interested student, “I knew ft,” sald Miss Mattie, with a horrified look at the page, “I knew Nan was polsoning him. “He wasn't killed by the poison, Dobbina. reminded her, think she shot him?" “No," sald Miss Mattle, decided- Iy, “Nan wouldn't do that, But I believe Mr. Finley did, and I can't sce why you don't arrest him.” “He's watched continually, Miss Raynor, as, in fact, are all the peo- ple of the house.” My land! All of us?” Yes, ot course. There are several men detailed for that purpose. Well, Miss Raynor, I don't see that we can learn anything more here.” With the bgok on poisons, care- fully wrapped to preserve possible finger print clews, he went down- stairs, Miss Raynor accompanying hi i@y found that in their absence a newcomer had appeared, who brought with him a new element of mystery. In the living room, addressing himself to Nan, was a young man of perhaps thirty or so, He was tall, dark and lean, a man of fine face and figure, but with crafty black eyes that darted here and there, seeming to read the attitudes of\the others. . Orville Kent, in attendance on his sister, was also listening to the announcements the stranger was making. He wgs, he told Dobbins, Tionel Raynor, 'son of Douglas Raynor by his first marriage. “Had you ever heard of this son before?” Dobbins asked of Nan. “Yes,"” she said. “I knew of his existence, but T have never before met him." “He was apprised of his father's death?” L d “Oh, yes, the lawyer looked after all -notifications of the family.” “You didn’t get here for the funeral, Mr. Raynor?” said Dob- Dbins. “No, 1 came on from the wes now that f am here, T wish to take possession at once. I have with me | my father's wil, which bequeaths | to me everything he possessed. I want also to push the investigation of his death—his murder” — he looked straight at Nan — “and I want to sec justice done, “You are not making any tions?" asked the detectiy Not that—I leave that {o you and your assistants. But it can’t be a difficult case, given the elements of an unloving wife and her former suitor.” “But my husband made a later will,” Nan declared, her spirit roused by these continued blows of misfortune. “Yes? Have you it?” Lionel Ray- nor's tone was insolent, “It is in Mr. Raynor's Nan said. quietly. “Produce it then,” This was said with a sneer, as.if the new claim- ant to the property had no fear of the will being forthcoming. Nor was it. Though the desk ransacked by Dobbins, assisted by Goddard and Orville Kont, no trace of a will could be found. “But it has always heen tibre,” said Nan, looking perplexed.
