Then Junior can sit on Kate's | lap, and that will leave room for two | of yeur bags on the seat with you, Mother.” | She had the grace to flush. I think it was only then that she real- 1zed how ungracious she hie amen. “You know very well, Margaret, that T will allow you to do no such thing, he said. [hree in the seat will interfere with you driving, and T certainly shall not permit Richar Second to sit perched on Katle's lap, where & sudden swerve of the car might threw him out. No; we shal! €0 on jus as we are, only you will have to stop frequently so that Rich- ard Second and Marion can get the | kinks out of their legs.” | We had come to a deadlock. That | was plain. My mother-in-law’s tones | held finality and her lips were set in the thin line which Dicky calls| her “martyr-tied-to-the-stake ex- pression.” I stood irresolutely for an instatnt | iu the vain hope that I might think of something that fould change | her opinion, and then Marion’s clear | young voice cleft the silence, i “Lend a Hand” “Grandma Graham,” she said dif- fidently, “do you think if I piled the suitcases on top of each other and put a blanket over them it would hurt them it I sat on them? I am mot very heavy, you know, and they | would make a lovely seat, I like to sit that way, and then Junior could sit between Auntie Madge and | Katie. He's so little they wouldn't know he was there.” “Me want to sit on the suitcases, tool” Junior piped, in his excitment reverting to the bahy talk which he 1s leaving bebind him rapidly. “Marion, you have the on | th Mother Gra- . who adores the child, sald ap- provingly, and 1 Lillian's e ings peaceful in whole aut menta Young daughter, not for the first time, for her re- sourcefulness and tact. “You and Richard Second may hoth sit on the sulfcases and I'll pit the bags on | Iy blessed wi beside me, Then we'll all m for our feet.

I just happened to be at the window and saw you drive in. Come along into the dining room.” We followed her across the room, but hefore we reached the door, stopped short in startied confusion as Leila's voite, unwontedly queru- lous came to our ears, “Well, Ede, T don’t know what the seat have command, ess than a into the house, | The most lovely r—————_ DAILY FASRION SERVIOR This frock shows you how fringe may be used effectively and yet so conservatlvely that it is not out of place on a ftallored frock.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Donglas Raynor is found shot through the heart in the early even- g on the floor of the sun room of Flower Acres, his Long Island home, Btanding over the dead man, pistol in hand, is Malcolm Finley, former sweotheart of Ra; nor's wife, Nancy, Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse, stands by the light switcl, Tn a moment Nancy ap- pears, white-faced and terrified, * Or- ville Kent, Nancy's brother, comes in from the south side of the room. And then Ezra Goddard, friend of Tinley; Miss Mattie, Raynor's sister, and others, enter upon the scene, Detective Dobbins heads the police investigation, An autopsy reveals that Raynor was also heing systoma- tically poisoned with arsenie. Lio- nel Raynor, son 6f Douglas Raynor, comes to claim his father's estate. Now Dolly Iay, a neighbor girl, in- timates that she knows more about the affair than she is telling. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “If you don't know anything of more importance than that I threw away a worthless parcel, you don't know much, dear.” Nan smiled a little at the child, thinking she was exaggerating her knowledge of events, They parted on the bridge, and Nan climbed the gently rolling hill- side toward the house, Orry came to meet her, “Nan, dear,” he said, gentl “there’s trouble afoot. That despi able spy of a Dobbins has been fer- rcting about and has found arsenic tabletg—do you know any- thing about ghem?” of course I don't.” “But—he says he found them in a vase—in your bedroom.

You did put them there, Nan, after Douglas' death, thinking nobody would find them. Didn't you?" “Yes — Orry — but — but weren't poison tablets.” “They found them, Nan, ve analyzed' them, and they contain arsenic—so I think, sister, vou'd better deny all knowledge of them."” “Deny all—" “Yes; Nan, pull yourself together, Reatize that you're suspected of murdering your husband! They think you were poisoning Douglas, and you must stoutly deny it,” * ou believe I was, Orry?” ‘Of course mnot ! But that's neither here nor there.

But, never mind that now-—it's up to us to get her out of all this trouble and start life afresh for her.

T thought at first it was saccharine—then T tried to think it was some harmless meodi- cine—but why should she do that, when he had a trained nurse?” “I kmow Nan was desperate—] know Raynor had brought her to the last stage of desperation—and, 1 | know she studied up the subject of poisons.

TIsn't it better to let Dobbins blunder along—even—even giving him some manufactured evidence, if necessary—" “Manufactured evidence?” “Yes: make up some clews—now, as to that print of an evershoe—T believe somebody faked that—to turn Dobbins on a wrong scent.” Kent looked at the other curi- ously. | “Who would do such a thing?” he asked, “Why, Miss Raynor is quite capa- ble of such a trick—or old Goddard, |or Miss Turner—or you yourself, if you'd thought of it. It all draws suspicion away from Nan—" “And away from you.

However, If T were to en- gage the detective I have in mind— Wise, his name is—he'd see through all planted clews in a minute.

FIHT PRIFS 1R BROYGAT T0 PORT Rum Row Bodly Disorganized Alter Raids Boston, Oct. 27.—The rum off Cape Cod and Cape Ann were scattered today as a result of their first major engagement with the U. 8. prohibition enforcement navy, and elght prizes werc tied up at docks here and at Gl6éucester and New Londom, Conn., with more tham score of prisoners to show as the spoils of the victors. The coastgnard tter Tampa yesterday brought into Boston harbor the Newfoundlund two-masted schooner Marjorfe . Bachman, rum-laden, and five American motorboats, Another mo- torboat was taken into Gloucester and one into New London, The elght prizes with their crews, and contraband liquor valued at $100,000, presented a week's opera- rows tions of the Tampa, assisted by “a | squadron of fast rum-chasers, off Block Island, Cape Cod and Cape Ann. The captured vesscls were {taken in a running battle Friday in which the Tampa used her 3-inch guns and pursued a scattering rum fleet for more than an hour near Stellwagon Banks, 20 miles off the const, at agpoint half way hetween Capes Cod and Ann. In the flcet of rum ships were more than a doz- en vessels, according to coast guard ofiicers, including several British and Prench craft. A number of Ameriean motorhoats plylng between rum row and the shore were sur- prised by the raiders. .
