Herald advertisements use more courteous means
to engage you. They know you are busy and await
their turn—though what they have to say is important.
The full-page Herald advertisement, the tiniest
advertisement—each has its definite message. News of
varieties, prices, economies; of wares you can select
wisely and purchase with utmost confidence. News
packed into as few words as possible so as not to rob
you of time.
They offer only the best. Inferior goods couldn’t
stand up under such public inspection. They urge you
to buy the best—to realize the savings made, the steps
saved, the satisfaction gained through reading Herald
advertisements and buying advertised goods.
Give them audience—the large and the small.
What they say profits you. That’s why they say it.
Herald Advertising is your wisest counselor
in the spending of money.

then Ezra Goddard, friend of

eister, and others, enter upon
the scene. Defective Dobbins
heads the police investigation.

cally poisoned with arsenic.
Dobbins makes to arrest Nancy,
and hinley “confesses” to shield
her.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
“Not much It doesn't!” Dobbins re
turned. “The truth is, to put it plain
ly, one of those two people shot Mr.
Raynor. Doth know which one did It.
Neither will tell, unless if one con
fesses, then the other will. If Mrs.
Rayrwr fired the shot, then Mr. Fin
ley picked up the pistol afterward,
and rubbed off her fingerprints. If.
on the other hand, the shot was fired
by Mr. Finley—Mrs. Raynor saw him
ns she stood at the west door. But
they both know’.”
“This is discarding the theories of
Miss Turner or of an intruder from
outside," Kara Goddard summed up,
thoughtfully.
"Yes, sir. and I do discard them.
I've thought over that nurse, but she
never would have shot and then turn
ed on the lights. In the dusk she
would have run away.”
"You ean't affirm that so positive
ly,” Kent said; “nor ran you give up
the Idea of an 2outsider merely be
cause I didn't see him make Ills
getaway. Of course he would have
disappeared silently and In the dark
ness of the shrubbery, and I'd stand
small chance of seeing him nt all."
Dobbins looked uncertain again.
The man seemed to have little Initia
tive—yet he waa rated a good detec
tive. But. as he had said, this case
presented so many possibilities, had
so many sides to It; and Dobbins was
an earnest Inquirer rather than a
brilliant ileducer.
'Tvs got to Interview more peo
ple,” he sighed as he rose. “But I
know where to go for Information.
I’m going for somo now—and If I'm
not mistaken. It will tnrow some light
on a few dark points."
Sanguine of nature, tli» detectlvg
went off and went straightway to the
homa of Dolly Fay.
That young person sat In a swing
on the lawn, npd with a word of
greeting Dobbins sat down beside
her.
"Now. young lady,” he said, trying
to Intimidate' her by a fiereo scowl,
"you aro to tell me all you aro keep
ing bacK about Mrs. Raynor. If you
don't, you'll be In danger yourself.”
“Danger? How come?” and thS
Slangy child snapped her little fingers
In the detective's face.
This flippancy irritated the arm of
the law, and he scowled harder at
her.
"Be careful, Miss. Have you ever
heard of contempt of fyiurtr'
"No —what's It meant”
"It means that If you treat lightly
the Inquiries of n detective you are
liable to fine and imprisonment.
Dobbina found It was necessary to
take strong measures tvltli this diffi
cult chit.
"Oo! l'se so 'fwoid!” But though
Polly pretended flippancy, Dobbina
could see she was seriously disturbed.
“And so.” he followed up his ad
vantage, “unless you see fit to tell m#
whatever 1 ask you ,1 shall have to
report you ”
"What do you want to know?” the
question was snapped at him.
"You were with Mrs. Raynor when
she threw a parcel Into the Falls?”
“Yes; that was only a bit of rub
bish "
"Why did she take the trouhle to
carry It to the Falls to dispose of It?”
"Oh, It wasn't any trouble. We
were out for a walk, you know ”
"Had you ever seen that parcel be
fore ?”
Dolly was game.
"No," she eald. stubbornly. "I
never saw It before."
Dolly was unaccustomed to lying,
unaccustomed, also, to being ques
tioned by a detective, and. as she
spoke the untrue words, lu r red lips
quivered and she burst Into tears.
"Go away!” she cried.
“Wait a minute. Miss Fay. Try to
realise that for you to tell the truth
will help Mrs. Raynor more than for
you to conceal anything”
"What do you mean by that? 1
don't believe you! Take me to Mrs.
ltaynor. then, and If she gives me
permission, I'll tell you all you ask."
But this plan hy no means suited
Dobbina. and. too. he had found out
alt lie wanted to know. There was a
mystery about the parcel. It was a
secret between the two. Polly had
promised Mrs. Raynor not to tell
about Jt —therefore, .the parcel of
morphine was of Importance—lt was
no old rubbish to he tossed away
carelessly.
He went away, and Polly, torn and
shaken hy he experience, started to
walk over to Flower Acres and talk
to Nan about It.
She had done her heat to keep faith
with Nan. and If that old detective
had discovered anything. It was not
her fault, she mused.
As she came to old Gannon's house,
that worthy sat on h!a little porch,
smoking his pipe.
Dolly was friendly with the old
man over his "specimens." which al
ways Interested her She didn't like
Gannon- didn't trust him. but she had
a natural bent toward the science he

listening to his discourses on the ha
bits of water-beetles, or the varieties
of dragon-flies.
“Did you get the new night moth?"
she asked as she paused before him.
“Yep. It’s In the case.” He Jerked
his finger over his shoulder, a mo
tion meant as an invitation to go In
and look at It if she chose, and curl
ouj to see the new specimen, Dolly
ran into Gannon's house.
The old man remained on the porch,
and, when a few moments later Lionel
Itayner Joined him there, he had
quite forgotten Dolly's existence.
Gannon and his visitor fell into an
absorbed conversation. Dolly, Inside
the room, studying the new moth,
heard the hum of their voices but
p-ld no heed.
At last, satisfied with her examina
tion of the specimen, she turned to
leave the room, when a word or two
from the men on the porch caught
h r - car.
"We’re lucky to be rid of the
nurse,” Lionel was saying, "she could
have made trouble. I made her see
it was best for her to go—and go
quickly.”
"That’s all right," Gannon said,
grumbllngly. “But what about r e?
When do I get mine?”
"What’s your everlasting hurry?”
asked Lionel. "Y'ou've enough to live
on—haven't you?”
“Yes; but I don't trust you, espe
cially; and besides I want to get my

“If she didn’t, who did? That lover
of hers—Finley. It has to be one of
the two —you know that, Linonel.”
“What about Peters?”
“He's all right—gone to Califor

"Well —I'll fix up the financial mat

“Don't worry. It's all safe "
"And the other?”
“Safe, too.”
“Well, so long. I'll go right now
to see Lawyer Stratton. But 1 wish

"You’re mighty affectionate toward
his memory—considering how he
treated you when he was alive!"
“I can forget that, if I have all his
property. And. 1 tell you a fellow
can’t see his father murdered in cold
blood without getting hot about it!"
Lionel Raynor went away, and Dol
ly Fay. scenting a new mystery, felt
It would be better for her to depart
unnoticed.
She accordingly slipped out at the
back door of Gannon’s little house,
and went a roundabout way so that
the old man shouldn't see her.
She didn't quite know herself why
she took these precautions, but it
was In the back of her bead that the
conversation she had Just overheard
' vs of Importance, in some way, to
the Raynor case.
Moreover, she gathered that It re
ferred to the will of Jft. Raynor, and
that there was some wrongdoing on
the nart of somebody in connection
with that will.
She couldn't quite bring herself
to think anything so terrible as these
two men planned to destroy a will.

yet the fragments of conversation
she had caught pointed that way.
Unversed in the ways of wicked
men, Dolly was untuitive by nature
and sagacious beyond her years.
The more she mulled over the mat
ter, the more she began to feel sure
that the missing will that gave the
Raynor property to Nan was conceal
ed in Grim Gannon's house. She
distrusted the man—although she ad
mired his erudition, and was grateful
for his kind instructions in the field
she was deeply interested in—that of
natural history-.
Always an outdoor girl. Dolly
studied the habits of the little cra
tures, and by reason of Gannon’s In
fluence had turned her study especial
ly toward birds and the larger in
sects. Butterflies and moths fasci
nated her as well as the water files.
So her pjresence in Gannon's house
was always welcome and unques
tioned. The old woman who kept
house for the hermit liked Dolly but
paid no attention to her comings and
goings.
