on the streets that were crowded
with the supporters of each and at
storea which were bedecked with
the Unmet and lilack and the Pur
ple and Gold.
But while college spirit was self
evident there was an absence n
antugonlsm between the students,
who apparently preferred to wait
until Kverett Htruper, former star
of Georgia Tech, blows his whistle
on the field at the fair grounds
Thursday nt noon, for the hostili
ties to come to a show down. From
every nook and corner of South
Carolina they had come,' students
in college aiumin beyond the walls
of Alma Maters and even the pro
fessors of the Institutions laid
aside pedagogical dignity in keep
ing with Uni mood of tho moment.

contain 12.00 U people, tho game
cocks of tho University of South
Carolina and tho Clemson Tiger
will fnce each othe» for the open

llard, Allda Gonzales, ull of Colum
bia, and Kiizabetli Anderson, of
summertoni for Clemson, Misses
Susie Hlnnnnt, of Datesburg. and
Eleanor Schroeder. of Abbeville.
Preparations had been made to
carry tho report of tho goitre, play
by play, while a number of the
larger dailies of the stnte had staff
correspondents present to furnish
the side lights ns well ns special
writeups of the game to their rep
resentativo journals. Telegraph
wires had been Installed on the
field to carry away a constantly
moving atory of the happenings
during the game to other parts of
the stnte.
Two hundred students of TVln
thrope College, at Rock Hill, me
expected to arrive Thursday morn

MISS M ATTIE S SHARP EYE S NOTICED A BOOK SET ASKEW
ON THE lISELF. SHE PULLED IT OUT.
BEGIN HERE TODAY.
The body of Douglas Rsynor
is found in tha 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, it Malcolm Finley, for
mer sweetheart of Raynor’s
wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Ray
nor's nurse, stands by the door
with her hand on the light
awitchc. In a moment Nancy
nppears, white-faced and terri
fiad. Orville Kent, Nancy's
brother, comes in from the south
side of the room. And then Ei
re Goddard, friend of Finley;
Mias Mattie, Raynor's sistseer,
and others, enter upon the scene
Detective Dobbins heads the po
lice investigation. An autopsy
reveals that Raynor was being
systematically poisoned by ar
senic, and Nancy is suspected
as the poisoner of her brutal
husband. Dobbins comet to in
terview Nancy, but is intercept
ed by Goddard.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
‘‘That's nil right, Mr. Dobbins —
and I'll make you this proposition.
Let me help you, and I'll agree to
play fair. You tell me nil you dis
cover mid I'll tdl you what I learn."
"Humph. What can you learn?" 1
"Don't he-supercilious. You may
yet be glad to come around to my
theory." |
"Have you one?"
"Rather! And a good one Tt Is l
that an outsider, an evil Intentloncd
Intruder come in and shot Raynor,
at dusk and made away without be
ing seen."
"Fine fairy story"
"Not at all he left Ills footprint
on tho sun room floor."
"Very good of him, I'm sure! And
from tiiat footprint, will you please
tell rtu* tho color of Ills hair and
what clothes ho wore? Also his nge
and height? I've read story hooks,
you see!”
"Then If you have, why didn't you
find Hint footprint for yourself?'”
Goddard spoke seriously, "t's right
there, under Hit* eyes of anybody
w ho chooses to look for It."
"Is It there yet?"
"Yea, unless It ha* been washed
off today. 1 saw It yesterday. Como
on. I'll show you."
The two men went to the sun par
lor. and on Us floor of red tiles, be
tween two rugs, was certainly a
faint. Irregular footprint, made quite
evidently by some one who wore
new rubbers.
"l’ooh," said Dobbins, "that might
have come there before or after the
shooting time."
"Might have. yes. hut Isn't It up
to you to prove It did or It didn't?
Oughtu l you to know who has been
here wearing new rubbers? They
are not commonly worn by ladles
and gentlemen of a household like
this."
"Some of the servants-—"
"Nonsense, servants don't wear
overshoes to clean floors."
"A visitor —an errand hoy—"
"Why surmise? Why not find out
for eerlain'."'
Dobbins began to lock grave.
"Much obliged to you. Mr. God
dard, It certainly calls for Investl
g itlon. And 111 accept your offer
of help. If l tell you what 1 learn,
you must tell me anything you dis
cover."
"Agreed, though 1 doubt If I dis
cover anything of Importance. My
forte Is deduction rather than
search."
Bv rraMW of further request on
Goddard's part, Dobbin* left the
search of Nan's room until the next
day. and then ho declared his In
tentions.
"Certainly you msy search mjr
rooms. Mr Dobbins." Nan said,
quietly. "Shall I come wilth yoqd"
"No. Mrs. Raynor, but I want
some one with me? Miss Turner?"
"No. I'll go." put In Meddlesome
Mattie.
She accompanied the detective,
and the two of them made n thor
ough search among Nancy Ray
nors things.
It udould he false to say Mias
Mattie did not enjoy lt~her femi
nine curiosity was gratified at this
opportunity to ace her stster-ln
law’s belongings and she poked
Into drawers and cupboards with
enthusiasm.
JUtwvcially did the detective scru

tinize tho bottles In the medicine
cabinet. There were a few vials
of white tablets, which he confis
cated, but which were labeled qui
nine or soda mints or some simple
preparation.
They were about to call this
search complete, when Miss Mat
tie's sharp eyes noticed a book set
askew on tho book shelf. She pull
ed it out and foflnd there was a
volume concealed behind it. This
was a huook about noisons and
their antidotes. A small boook, evi
dently addressed to the layman and
meant for family use.
Dobbins eagerly grabbed It from
Miss Mattie's hands.
Ho ran over its pages, and found
that nt arsenical poisoning the
leaves were thumbed and worn as
lif by an interested student.
"1 knew it,” said Miss Mattie,
with a horrified look nt the page. “I
knew Nan was poisoning him."
"lie wasn’t killed by tho poison,”
Dobbins reminded her. “Do you
think she shot him?”
"No,” said Miss Mattie, decided-]
ly. "Nun wouldn't do that. Bift I|
believe Mr. Finley did, and I can't i
see why you don't arrest him." |
"He's watched continuously. Miss ;
Raynor, as, in fact, are all the peo
ple of this house."
"My land! All of us?”
"Yes, of course. There are sev
eral men detailed for that purpose.!

we can learn anything more here." j

finger print clews, he went down'
stairs. Miss Raynor accompanying
him. T f
They 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
ofh perhaps thirty or more. He was
tall, dark and lean, a man of fine
fnce and figure, but with crafty I
black eyes that darted here and ]
there, seeming to read tho attl- 1
tudes of the others.
Orville Kent. In attendance on
his sister, was also listening to thoj
announcements the stranger was
making. >
Ho was, ho told Dobbins. Lionel
Raynor, son of Douglas Raynor by
his first marriage.
“Had you ever heard of this eon
before'."' Dobbins asked of Nan.
"Yes,” she said. "I knew of his
existence, but 1 have never before
met hint.
"Ho was apprised of his father's
death?"
"Oh, yes. the lawyer looked after
all notifications of the family.”
“You didn't get here for the
funeral, Mr. Raynor?" said Dob
bins.
"No. I came on from the west
and couldn't make connections. But
now that 1 am here, I wish to take
possession nt once. 1 have with
mo my father's will, which be
queaths to me everything he pos
sessed. 1 want also to push the In
vestigation of ids death—ills mur
der'ho asked straight at Nan—
"und I want to see Justice done.”
"You are making any accusa
tions?" asked the detective.
"Not tliaht—l leave that to you
and your assistants Rut it can't
be a difficult rase, given the ele
ments of an unloving wife and her
former suitor."
'Hut my husband mud* a laetr
will," Nan declared. her spirit
roused by these continued blows ot
misfortune.
••Yes? Hi#e you Its Lionel
Raynor's tone was insolent.
"It is In Mr. Raynor's desk," 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 was
ransacked by Dobbins. assisted by
Godtfcird and Orville Kent, no trace
of a will could be found.
"Hut It has always been there."
said Nan. looking perplexed. "I
mean ever since it was drawn up,
a year or more ago."
"Who witnessed It?" asked Dob
bins.
"Mr. Clannon. for one." Nan-said,
"and the butler, for another. Rut
not the butler we have now. it
was Peters, the one we had last
year."
"Urlmshnwe Gannon? Then lie ts
easily available, and will know
where the will Is,” Goddard said.
“The matter should have been
looked Into sooner.”
"I know,” Nan said, “the lawyer,
Mr. Sratton, said so. But I begged
him to wait till today. Fie Is coming
this afternoon to read the will.”
"How can he read it, if there isn’t
any to read?" asked Lionel Ray
nor, flippantly. "I fear, Mrs.
Stepmother, you won’t be able to
find that will.”
Nancy Raynor gave him one
scornful glance but said nothing.
As a matter of fact she knew all
about the will her husband had
made In her favor, knew how little
he had left to Lionel and knew of
Us other bequests.
“It must be that Mr. Gannon has
the will in his possession,” she said,
"or, more likely, I know that It ex
ists, and that Its provision for my
self is entirely satisfactory."
Lionel Raynor threw her a quiz
zical glance, but his eyes rested for
a moment on her beautiful face.
For Nancy Raynor, In her black
gown and tiny white crape collar,
was very fair and sweet to look at.

Coach Saxton hopes that a large

is expecting no set-up but the
