Tha body of Douglas Rsynor
is found in ths esrly evening
on the floor of the sun room
at Flower Acres, his Long Is-
Isnd hom*. Stsnding over the
dead man, pistol in hand, is
Malcom Finley, former sweet
heart of Raynor's wifs, Nancy.
Eva 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, Or
ville Kent, Nancy'e brother,
cornea in from the south side
of the room, and then Ezra
Goddard, friend of Finley, en
ter* upon the scene. ‘‘l didn't do
It,” Hnley protest,: ”*| don’t
think I did." “Then Mr*. Ray
nor did It,” accuse* Mies Tur
ner; "before I could get the
’ light on I eaw you both ”
Now Goddard goes toward tha
stricken man. "Perhaps Raynor
isn't dead,” ha eays.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
"Ye*, he’s dead.” Ooddard said,
after a brief examination. "I think
the women should go to their rooms
—or, at least, away from here."
Hut none of the women would do
thla, and, as Miss Mattie showed
signs of faintness, Kva Turner
hastened away und returned with
restoratives.
"Hatfield,” Era Ooddard anld,
giving his order* curtly, "call the
family doctor —you know his num
ber?”
"Oh. yea, sir," and tha butler dls.
appeared.
“Did you shoot Raynor. Mal
colm?" was the next question.
"No.” snid Finley, but his face
waa so drawn with shock and sor
row that hia word carried no clear

"Then what are you doing with
that pistol?”
"I—l picked It up—as I came in—
Rook here, Goddard, It's none of
your business!”
"Oh, yes, It Is—l'm making It my
business. Have you no more to
say?"
"No more,” said Malcolm Finley.
"I have,” said the nurse. “It was
either Mr. Finley or Mrs. Raynor
who fired that shot!”
CHAPTER IV.
DETECTIVE DOBBINS.
If Eza Goddard had followed the
sea, he would have been the sort
of sailor who Is dubbed able sea
man. If be had chosen the minis
try as a career, he would have been
known as an eminent divine. Had
ho pitched on the legal profession,
he would have been spoken of ns a
noted lawyer. Or had he been an
author, he would most certainly
have attained the rank of cele
brated novelist.
Moreover, If he had bent his tal
ents and energies to the science of
sleuthing, he would havo risen rap
idly to the height of Transcendent
Detective, and would have become
famous.
But detective he was not, for
though obsessed of the necessary
perspicacity and perspicuity, he
had had no training or experience,
and knew little or nothing of finger
print work or of third-degree prac
tice.
So It was eally owing more to his
Inherent generalship than to his de
ductive ability that he stepped for
ward and assumed control of the
entire situation.
Ilia efficiency In emergency was
well night 100 per cent, and within
fifteen minutes of the discovery of
Douglas Raynor's death, Goddard
had sent word to the family physi
cian, the county medical examiner
and the local police. And within an
hour they had all arrived.
Doctor Raxton cam* first. Though

he was the family physician, he had
rarely been called to Flower Acres,
for there had been little Illness In
the household. When Douglas Ray
nor began to get faddy about his
diet, he sought advice from various
well advertised books, and, later,
had decided on the employment of
a resident dietitian. Miss Turner was
by no means the first of these, In
deed, she was merely the present in
cumbent, and was already slated for
dismissal by her patient.
But, being present, and being a
graduate nurse, Doctor Saxton im
mediately spoke to her profession
ally, and seemed to rely on her as
sistance.
She came to him tremblingly, and
with an obvious aversion to touching
or even looking at the dead body of
her late patient.
"Shot through the heart,” the doc
tor said, after a brief Investigation.
"Who did It.”
To this direct question there was
no answer. Miss Turner compress
ed her lips Into a straight, unspeaking
line, while the others present, who
were huddled round the sides of the
sun room, gave only aghast, won
dering looks at the doctor.
Held by some fascination of horror,
they had all remained In the pres
ence of the dead. Goddard had ad
vised It, and the rest had Inertly
obeyed.
Nancy, her hand clasped In her
brother's, was half reclining In a
long chair, while Miss Mattie sat bolt
upright, eagerly watching everything
that transpired.
Malcolm Finley sat, with folded
arms and a calm, inscrutable face,
his gray eyes moving slowly from the
dead victim of the tragedy to the liv
ing wife and back again.
From his scrutiny of the livid face
and contorted muscles of Raynor Doc
tor Saxton at last lifted a puzzled
countenance to the group of anxious
spectators.
"There are strange conditions
here," he said, "most peculiar, inex
plicable conditions. Had Douglas Ray
nor any enemies?"
He glanced around the room, and,
aR no one else spoke, Eza Goddard
said:
"In view nf the fact that someone
shot and killed him. 1 think we may
logically assume that he had.”
The tinge of irony was slight, but
quite enough to annoy the doctor.
"Not at all, sir It is perfectly pos
sible that the shooting might have
hern an accident, or—a suicide."
“Oh. was it? Do you think that?”
Nan spoke rapidly. In jerky accents,
as if surprised but not displeased at
this suggestion.
“I can’t say yet. Mrs. Raynor. On
the face of it, it looks as if he had
been shot down hy the hand of an
other, but until after a more detailed
examination. I prefer not to give a
definite opinion. And for that, I want
to await the arrival of the medical
examiner. When he comes, I must
ask that we be left by ourselves, ex*
cept that I wish Miss Turner to re
main with us In her professional ca
pacity."
"I’d like to say a word " began
Malcolm Finley, hut Goddard atopped
him peremptorily.
"Not a word. man. Ktirely you know
better. This is not the time or place
for any revelation, theory or sus
picion. In fact. I ask all of you to
say nothing definite or vital until the
examiner and the detectives get
here."
"I shall say what T choose,” an
nounced Nan. "and T say
"My dear Mrs. Raynor,” .Goddard
apoke quietly, hut looked at her with
a steady gaze, "just reflect a moment
on the fact, that quite aside from
yourself, what you would say might
affect others Id a way for which you
would l>e sorry."
"Who do yet mean?" she said.
"It doesn't matter what I mean,
hut It mTfcht matter a great deal what
you say. so I ask you, I beg of you,
to say nothing
His Insistence won the day, and
Nan said no more, except now and
then In a whisper to Orry.
And so, when Doctor Fraser, the
examiner, rame. everybody was turn
ed out of the room except Nurse Tur
ner.
The others filed intQ the large liv
ing room, nnd seated themselves. Mal
colm Finlev almost gave way to his
strong desire to sit hv the side of
Nancy, hut compelled himself to con-
till

TIONS HERE—MOST RECLLIAR

quer It, and crossed the room to sit
beside Miss Mattie. /
She. however, was so pointedly cold
and distant of manner, that Finley
turned aside and began talking to
Goddard.
"I hope a fairly decent detective
will be sent,” he said; "for this is not
a case to be bungled.”
"It Is not. Indeed,” Goddard assent
ed; “I only hope the doctors can prove
it a suicide."
"Why?" cried Nan. "Suicide' is the
deed of a coward—and Douglas was
never that!"
“No, he was not,” Goddard said;
"yet I wish It might have been —for
a murder mystery is a long, hard road
to travel."
"It’s murder—but It's no mystery.”
These words were spoken by Misa
Mattie. She looked straight at Nan.
and though she said no more definite
word. It was easily seen that already
ahe accused Nancy Raynor of th#
death of her husband.
"But Nancy didn’t shoot him,” the
spinster added, and Nan looked up
quickly, to see the stern old face as
accusing as ever, and the aharp old
eyes glaring at her.
"I don’t know what you mean,”
she said, wearily, and leaning hack
In her chair she closed her eyes, and
her brother watched her affection
ately.
"I wish Nan would go to her
room," Orville Kent said; "she can
be of no use tonight, and when the
policemen come It will drive her fran
tic.”
"She ought to be driven frantic,"
Miss Mattie’s cold voice declared. "Of
course she can’t go to her room, Or
ville; she must be questioned with
the rest of us;”
Notwithstanding the awfulness of
the occasion, it was quite clear that
Miss Mattie looked forward to the
questioning not without relish.
At last, to her satisfaction, ths po
lice arrived. The others, too, felt
a certain sense of relief.
