Ray- nor has been shot through the heart. Standing over the dead man, plstol in hand, is Malodlm Finley, former sweetheart 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 investigation. An autopsy reveals that Raynor also being systematical- Iy polsoned with arsenfc. Now comes Lionel Raynor, son of Doug- las Raynor by an earlier marriage, with the announcement that his father's will bequeaths everything to him, Nancy, however, knows of another will that was witnessed by Grimshaw Gannon, a hired man. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “'Well, Mrs. Raynor,” Lionel sald, "It rests between you and me, then, as to who inherits my father's es- tate. I have here the will that names me the heir. If you produce a later one, giving you the right to it. T have nothing more to say. But you must put up the goods.” “Why have yoy never bsen here before, Lionel?” Nan sald. “Why have we never met?" “Oh, to be frank, 1 rather re- sented the governor's marrying again, and I think T didn't ecare about seeing the new incumbent. Now, if we're to share the property, T suppose we'd better call a truce until the settlement can be made.” “Why a truce? Why not a per- manent friendship—whatever the outcome of the settlement?, . Lionel looked at her accusingly. ‘T don’t form friendships with peo- ple who-—who tried to pojson my tather!" Nan shrank as it from a blow, and Dobbins thought this a good time to thrust a question at her, “That reminds me, Mrs. Raynor,” he said, “is this book yours? He held out the little volume, Why—whera did you find it?” ghe asked, “where 4id you get that?” “Hidden behind some other books on your bookshelf. Is it'yours?” A sudden and decided change ®ame over Nancy Raynor. “Yes' 'she said, raising her chin with a touch of obstinacy, "ves it is mine." 8 Why did you buy it?” "Because—becatise T thought somehody was poisoning my husband and T wanted to learn the truth ahout it." Dobbins almost laughed outright at this absurd story. “You know, do you not, that he was being poisoned—and that you are suspected of being the poison- erd”. “T know it,"" Nan sat holt upright now, and her head, held hi defiant in its pose. “Can you prove fom “T don't advise you te take that attitude, Mrs. Raynor,” Dobbins said, not unkindly. “It won't get you anywhere." “No, don't, Nan,' said her brother. “You've got a hard row to hoe, but we're all back of you, and if you'll just tell the truth, it wil lall be smoothed out very soon.” “Smoothed out, indeed!"” Miss Mattle bristled. “I insist on the fullest investigation of my brother's death. T can acarcely believe Nan is responsible for it, but I must know. Also, I want to know about this will business.

But he offly shrugged his great ahoulders, and repeating his entire igniorance as to the existence or whereabouts of apy will, he rose and lumbered oft. “Well,” Dobhins sald, “it begins to look serlous. Can we get hold of the other witness, Mra. Raynor?” “I don’t know,"” Nan said, looking thoughtful rather than confounded. “I can't understand it at all!” 4 CHAPTER VIIL The Secret Parcel Malcolm Finley was not at all pleased with the role in which he found himself cast. He was a man of action, and he was obliged to keep qulet, Most of all, he was desperately in love with Nancy Raynor, and was not allowed'to tell her so. “Your time will come,” Goddard told him. “If your love for her is the real thing, and if she recipro- cates, no harm ean come of waiting until a right and proper time to tell her of it. It would be unwise as well as untimely to tell her now— and too, Finley, there's a big m: tery to be solved by somebody. Be. tween you and.- me, T don't think much of that detective—'" “But for that reason he's a good one to have on the case, He gets nowhere, he befogs all the {ssues—" “And is that a godd thing?" “It most certainly is—for all con- cerned.” ¢ Finley went off and Goddard mused over what he had sald. Ezra Goddard carried a heavy heart, He felt'that there was no solution to the mystery of the shoot- ing, but to ascribe it either to Nan or Malcolm ,and he couldn't bear to think it was either of tho More- over, Nan had confessed to the own- ership of the book on poisons, she hed been seen secretly slipping tab- lets into her husband's teacup—what theeory was there except the guilt of one or both? Just now, matters seemed to be temporarily held up because of the absence of the will which Nan de- clared. existed, If this could be found and Nan inherited the estate, things would be quite different from the event of Lionel Rayner owning the place. Goddard didn’t like young Raynor —didn't like him at all. Yet his opinions made emall dif- ference if the will Lionel possessed was the only one extant. For it was in every way, Goddard knew, a true and legal document—tha only question being whether thers had been a later one—or whethar—this Just occurred to Goddard, whether Douglas Raynor in a fit of anger had destroyed the will he had made in Nan's favor. Goddard longed to send to New York for a famous detective he knew of, but, somehow he feared the things such a detective might dis- cover, On the theory of many people, Nancy Raynor and Malcolm Finley were glad to renew their old-time friendship and it had quickly ripen- ed into love, Both were of intense and pafsion- ate teperament. He could not deny the possibility that, goaded beyond endurance by her husband's cruelty and longing for the love and peace of Finley's protection, Nancy had let herself be driven to the point of poisoning the one that stood be- tween her and happiness. Also, it could be, that Finley, ut- terly exasperated at Raynor's petty eruelties to the woman he loved, had shot him down. While he was pacing lhu east veranda and thinking these things over Malcolm Finley had at last found Nan alone, Yet when he chanced to see her alone, on the west terrace, half hid- den in the shadows of a great wis- N'T KEEP AWAY. DO NOW, NANCY, thing!” “Why not?” sald Kent ,and Jeav- ing the room he dispatched a serv- ant to bring Gannon. At last the big man lumbered slowly in. It was plain to be seen !he was ill at ease in the presence of more refined people. “Whatcha want o' me, Mis' Ray- he said, as he avkwardly took a chair. “You can tell me what you know of my husband's will, Mr. Gannon. You witnessed it, T think.” “No, Mis' Raynor, T 4idn't" The cold light blue eves of Grimshawe | Gannon looked into hef own, with- {out any expression of concern or even interest in the matter, "Why, Mr. Gannon, my husband told me that yoy did—you and | Peters—the butier we had last {vear ! “Yes'm, 1, remember Peters—a | good man but stupfd. Weil, hif an’ we never signed no will for Mr. | Raynor—leastwise, not me, any- way.” “That man is telling a falsehood,” raid Nan quietly. “You did witness Mr. Raynot's signature to his will, Mr. Gannon, and you know where that will is." Gannon gave a heipless look | around the room, as if to say, “Wha can I say to that?” Ao me taria vine, he went to her at once and sat beside her. “It's no use, dear,” he said, gently; “T can't keep away. Now, Nancy, what do you want me to do?" “What do T want you to do?" she whisperéd, half unconsciously re- peating the words, and then a reali- zation of her great trouble, her great loneliness surged over her, and seh traised her eloquent, sad eves to Hls, saying—"Help me—Malcolm— help me—somehow.” “Yes, dearest, yves, of course T will “It's hard. Non—darling! you've ne idea how hard it fs—" “Yes, T have, looked at him pitesusly—"but—of, Malcolm, you dont' know what 1 went through with that man You don't know !
