The body of Douglee Raynor

cn tha floor of tho aun room
at Flower Acre*, hia Long lt>

Malcom Finley, formor aweot

In a moment Nancy appeara,
white-faced and terrified. Or

of the room, and then Eire

marriage, with the announcement
that hia father'a will bequeathe
everything to him. Nancy, how-,
ever, Knowa of another will that
waa witneered by Orimahaw Qan.
non, a hired man.
NOW 00 ON WITH THE STORY.
"Well, Mr*. Raynor," Lionel eald.
“It route between you ami me, then,
aa to who Inherit* my father'a eatutr.
I have here the will that namea me
the heir. If you produce a later one,
giving you the right to It, 1 have noth

up tho goods."
"Why have you never been here
before, Lionel?'* Nan amid. "Why have
%%e never met?"
"Oh, to be frank, ! rather reaentrd
the governor'■ marrying again, and I
Dink 1 didn't care about seeing the
new incumbent. Now, if we’re to
►hare the property, I suppose we’d
better call a truce until tne settle
ment can be made.
"Why a truce? Why not a perma
nent friendship whatever the out*
rmn* of the settlement ?**
Lionel looked at her accusingly.
"I don't form friendships with peo
ple who—who tried to poison my
fa'her!"
Nan shrank as if from a blow, and
Dobbins thought this a good time to
thrust a o|**tlon at her.
••That reminds me. Mrs. Raynor."
he said, "is this book yours?" He
held out the little volume.
"Whj whom did yon find it**" rhe
AfOteri "where did you get that?"
"Hidden behind some other book*
on your bookshelf Is it yours?"
A sudden snd decided change cams
over Nancy Itnynnr.
"Tea," she said, raising her chin
with a touch of obstinacy, "yes. It is
mine."
"WJ»y did you buy It?"
"Hsrause— because I thought some'
body wa* poisoning tpy husband and
1 wanted to learn the truth about It."
Dobbins,almost laughed outright at
this absurd story. I
"You know, d»» nM, that ha
was being so poisoned—and that you
ere suapivted of be4ltg the poisoner?"
"1 know It," Nan sat bolt upright
now, and her head, hold hign, was
defiant lu Its pose. "Dan you prove
It?"
"I don't advise you to take that
attitude. Mrs. Kaynor," Dobbins said,
not unkindly. "It won't get you
Anywhere."
"No, don't. Nan," said her brother.
"lOtt'Vi got n l . but
we re all back of >ou, and If you'll
Just tell th«* truth. It will all be
smoothed out very soon "
"Smoothed out. Indeed!" Mias Mat
tie bristled. "1 Insist on the fullest

"Why not?" said K«ni. and leaving
the room he dispatched a servant to
bring Gannon
At last the big man lumbered
slowly In. It was plain to he seen

irmre refined people.
"Whstcha want o' me, Mis* Hay

a chair.
"You can till me what vou know of
my husband's will. Mr. Gannon. You
witnessed It. 1 think "
"No, Mis' Kaynor, 1 didn't " The
void light blue eyes of Grhnshawe
Gannon looked Into her own, without
any expreasloti of concern or even
Interest in the matter. »
"Why. MY. Gannon my husband told
me that you did— >ou and I’etfra—

"Yea'm, Tre member Dr t era—a good

we never signed no will for Mi Kay-

"That man Is telling a falsehood."
JJ Id Nan. quietly "You did witness
Mr. Raynor'a signature to hia will.
Mr. Gannon, and you know where
that wilt la."
Gannon gave a helpless look
around the room, as If to say. "What

shoulders, and repeating hia entire
Ignorance as to th« existence or

absence of the will which Nan de
clared existed.
Jf this could be found and Nan In
herited the estate, things would be
quite different from the event of Llo
nel Kaynor owning the place.
Goddard didn’t like young Kaynor—
didn't like him at all.
Yet his opinion* made small differ
ence if the will Lionel possessed was
the only one extant. For It was In
every way, Goddard knew, a true and

While ho was pacing the east ve

Malcolm Finley had at last found
Nan alone.
Yet w’hen he chanced to see her
alone, on the west terrace, half hid

BUSH PLANS
TO STICK
ON HITTING
NEW YORK.—Joe Bush, star pitch
er of the New York Americans, does
n’t intend to retire from the majors
when his twirling days are over.
No Indeed! Joe plans to spend about
five more years in the big show after
he loses his ability to mystify the
opposing batters.
A natural hitter, Bush of late years
has given much attention to the bat
ting end of the game. He has im
proved to such an exten tthat he is
now regarded as one of the most dan
gerous hitters in the American
League.
For several years he has done
pinch hitting roles for the Y'ankces
aside from pitching When Miller
IXuggins needs a right handed hitter
in a pinch, Bush invariably gets the
call.
On the days when tt was not his
turn to pitch, Bush has spent much
time chasing fly bails and has be
come a very proficient fielder.
"Joe Wood, a great pitcher in his
day, hung on for many years after
he was through as a twirler because
he could play the outfield and hit,"
