heads the police investigation.
An autopsy reveals that Ray

Lionel Raynor, eon of Douglas
Raynor, comet to claim his

Gannon, I know, that you witnessed

Bure enough, the detective was
coming toward them, evidently In
sety'-h of Mrs. Buy nor.
"I give this man over to you, Mr.
Dabbing," she said, exrltedly; "he
witnessed the will my husband
made In my favor, and he hae It

were not overheard, did you? But
Mis* Raynor happened to be pass
ing your door—and as you had both
raised your voices—or at any rate.
Mr. Raynor had —she heard him
say—”
"Passing the door! She was
eaves-dropping, as usual. Very well,
he did say that.”
"And—you thought the crisis had

"How do you know.”
"Because It cannot be found. And

began.
“He wasn't here,” said Dobbins,
sternly. "You can't drag him In. The

figure hurrying through the dooi
opposite. Miss Turner, snapping on
the lights, also saw you going out.
i and a few moments later, Mr. Kent,
j coming on the scene, say you re
turning—but apparently appearing
! for the first time upon the scene.
; It’s all explained, Mr. Raynor—l'm
! telling you what I know, In order
to prepare you a little for the trial
you must face.”
"Good lord, man,” cried old Gan
non, "the lady's fainting. How
could you Kurt out all that! Get
out of my way!"
And fairly brushing the detective
aside, the great, gaunt man lifted
the drooping figure before him, and
carried Nan swifty Into the house
and placed her on a couch In the
living room.
"Look after her!” he said curtly
to Miss Raynor, who bustled In, and
then Gannon strode into the library
where the men r«pw were.
"You want to check up that Dob
bins person,” he said; "he's-a brute,
and If Mrs. Raynor Is guilty, that's
ao reason s.he should be tortured by
him.”
"No wonder the lady fainted,” he
said, "no wonder she Is 111 and ner
vously upset. She la a drug addict!"
"What!" shouted Kent, Jumping
up and glaring at Dobbin*
•'Yes —I’ve proof right here,” and
Dobblna produced a damp looking
paper parcel. "Mrs. Raynor, accom
panied by the little Fay girl, went
down to the brook—along the Falls
road, and she threw this package
Into the falls. I waded In and fished
It out —and here It Is.”
He opened the parcel and show
ed four vials, two empty; one full
and one party full of a white pow
der. And all were labeled morphine.
'What have you to Bay?” de
manded Dobbins.
But no one had anything to say.
CHAPTER X
Dolly Fay
"You aec,” Dobbins said, "It ex
plains a good deal to know that Mrs.
Kaynor was a victim of the drug
habit. Why. It may go far toward
getting her off easy—”
"It may do nothing of the sort!”
Malcolmn Finley exploded. "How
dare you accuse Mrs. Raynor of
that?"
"I don't blame you for getting
wrathy, Mr. Finley,” Dobblna said,
looking at him almost benignly,
"and I’m mighty sorry myself to
say anything against the lady, but
here's the proof—”
"Proof nothing! You pick up a
measly parcel of rubbish and you
Jump to a conclusion! Has any one
r ever seen Mrs. Raynor ever so
slightly under the influence of a
drug?"
"Never!" aald Orville Kent.
"Where's that nurse person?
asked Dobbins suddenly. "She'd
know about Mrs. Raynor's habits.”
"She's gone," K«jit Informed him,
"Went off last night, hag and bag
gage. And, by the way. she took
with her a nifty bunch of stocks
and bonds.”
"Raynor's?" asked the detective.
"Well, they had been—but they
were nil transferred to her. and
were In a big packet, marked with
her name. In the anfe. Of course, I
gave them to her as she asked."
"Queer doings." muttered Dob
bins. "Why should Kaynor give
them to her? Was he sweet on
her?'*
"Not a bit of It!" Kent said; "Dou
glas wgsn't that sort—and. too. I
think he positively disliked Miss
Turner. But he was trying her out
as a diet nurse. He was a faddist
about his food.”
"How'd she come to go off In
•uch a hurry?” asked Dobbins,
looking nmnxed. "We hadn't finish
ed questioning her. Where Is sliii?"
“She left a New York address,
which she said would always reach
her. But you don’t suspect she had
anything to do with the shooting,
do you?”
"Why, look here," Dobbins said
“There are three—no four, doors to
that room where Mr. Raynor was
killed. Now, there is a possibility
that the criminal was at any one of
the four. If east or west. It must
have been Mrs. Raynor or Mr. Fin
ley. If aouth, It was some cut
alder, who got away, Kent, before
you came on the acene. Rut, there's
i the north door at which was Miss
Turner, nnd later. Miss Raynor. We
can't suspect Miss Raynor of her
brother's <Wnth. but I've always
rather had my mind on Miss Tur
ner. I don't at alt like the Idea of
her going away."
“She never shot Raynor." aald
Fxra Goddard. "Why In the world
Wbuld ahe? Especially If he was
kind to give her a bundle of val
uable securities."
"She didn’t shoot him to get
those," Kent added, "for they were
all properly endorsed over to her.
and the parcel, all ready for her.
was In the safe with her name on
It."
“Maybe he was holding out on her
for some reason.” mused the de
tective. "There must have been
some secret alliance or some Im
portant Interest between the two
for a man like Raynor or give a
transient nurse such a gift."
"We don't know that It was a
gift." Kent said: "perhaps It rep
resented her accumulation of sav
ings which Raynor had Invested for
her."
"I never saw a case with ao
many angles to It." Dobbins sigh
ed. "Here's Lionel Raynor Impatient
to take possession of his Inheritance
and. as nobody can find a later
will, he'll have to have It, for all
1 can see. and what Is Mrs. Ray
nor going to do for a home? Not
only that, but she'll be arrested
soon now. unless something turns
up In some other direction.”
"No!” Orville Kent gave a start.
"Yeu won't arrest my sister' Why,
man. you haven't a shred of real
evidence!"
"Oh. haven't we' I hate to do It*
Mr. Kent, but Justice demands ac
tion—and I haven't an Idea any
Jury would ever convict her—"
"But arrested! Nan! In Jail!
Never—"
"1 wish w* could hear of some
outsider," Dobbins said; "if now,

One of the striking results of the
new law probably will be that hun
dreds of foreign men who have not
become citizens in America will be
compelled to return to Europe it
they want to rejoin their families.
This because the wives and chil
