Finley said, "and I igree, Mr. Dobbins, that you have ihat south door accounted for, and you must tai<e into considiMation the pos- •ibility that the r.iurdorer of Mr. Ray- nor escaped that way." "(Jrantir.r that porsibilily, then," Dobbins continjed, "I eny that we have here present the three Ixninvn to have been at the other three door.s, anil Mr Kent, who appeared at the .«oiith lioor a very little later. I woold like a sworn statement from each of you as to what you saw and heard. Mr. Finley, will you .speak first, and re- member you a.'e on oath." "I heard the .shot, 1 went from the east \:r,indiih to the ea^t door of the bun roo n, 1 went in, and 1 .=aw Douk- las Raynor on the oor, a revolver at his side. I picked it up-^an involun- tary act, for which 1 have no definite explanation, and at that moment Miss Turner snappeil on the lights." "Did yoi see Mr.s. Raynor in the room? Recollect, you are on oath." '"I saw her at the west doorway." "Coming in or jfoing out?" "As I was so amazed at the sight of Mr. Raynor. anil a littlv blinded l)y the .sudden lijcht, I cannot positively a swer your qjestion. Hut to the best of my knowledffe and belief she was cominf in." The quiet tones, the straight forward air did more to carry conviction tha'i emphasis could have done. Nan look- ed at hiiM pratefully, and Orry showed relief at the words. "You think she was going out. Miss Turner?" "I l;now she was," said the nurse. "I .«aw her even before i saw Mr. Raynor and I can swear she was hast- ening out of the room." "Mrs. Raynor, do you care to tes- fcfy?" "No â€" I'd rather not" â€" said Nan, in a Yfij^ so low as to be almost in- audible. Eva Turner said nothing, but the triumphant look on her face told of her conviction of Nan's guilt. "I haven't spoken yet," Kent sniti, deliberaU'ly. "I suppose I have a right to 1)6 heard, Mr. Dobbins?" "Orliiinly â€" I wish you would re- count what you saw when you ap- peared on the scene." "I came in at the south door," Orry began, "and 1 found the fcene much as you have all described it. Douglas lay on the floor, Finley stood near him, revolver in hand. Miss Turner was at the north door, or just inside it, and Miss Mattie was close to her. But as I came in at the south door my sister was just entering the west door. She was not going out, she was not 'flee- ing' or unning away, she wa.<i coming in â€" I saw her â€" her face horror- stricken with surprise and fright." Miss Turner gave a supercilious smile. I "Mr. Kent is quite right," she said, ' "but it must be remciibeied that he I .1 detective would not do much better than Dobbins. 'i'be arrival of the detective threw most of the househidd into coiisterna- tiun. -Malcolm Finley was, on the whole, glad, yet he felt a certain uneasiness as to what might transpire. Nan Raynor and her brother looked aghast at the news of \\w arrival, yet tried to conceal their aprchensions. .Miss Turner was frightened; l-ionel Raynor wiis angry, and Miss Mattie, though affronted at not having been consulted in the matter, './as deeply interested and agog with curiosity as to what the new developments would be. So she greeted Pennington Wise with cordiality and welcomed him to Flower Acres, while the others looked on with varying degrees of uncer- tainty. "Wonderful place," Wiso said, standing on the teri-ace. "Before be- ginning my work here I must bog for a few minutes to absorb this marvel- ous beauty!" With him had come a strange little being, who, he said, carelessly, was his assistant She uas a small scrap of a girl, slender as a willow wand, incon- spicuous, unnoticeable, almost invis- ible, so persistently did she keep in the background Yet she was always there, always at the beck or call of Pennington Wise, and her a.ssistance was as valuable as it was unostenta- tious. l''r)in a seclude.! alcove of the ter- race, almost hidden by a tall palm.

More nervous than ever, he picket! at his coat collar â€" pulled his handkerchief from his breast pocket and returned it there, drummed on his knees with his fingers and finally said: "Mr. Dobbins, you have only .^liss Turner's unsupported word for that and I hold that is nr>t sufficient." Poor Dobbins looked worried to death. He saw no loophole of ex- planation â€" it was all to him a deep inexplicablii ivjstery.

Does Sir. Snowden care less about ruining tho work of the experts who does about getting the sums he de- mands'.'

Hope For Fat Man Here is my advice to men who want to recover lost or pr3s»rv-i slipping figures, anu who possess average hearts. If you are between forty and sixty rise earlier, drink hot water ,n rising, move about more, cut the daily intake of food by on.'-third, and then half; diink plenty of cold water between mea «, and don't drink with meals. Under .orty do the same, but add regular hard exercise, beginning with brisk walks, and rising to a tive-mile !un-andwalk (say an hour and •> half) every day. And remember that the Irish priest who told his .lock to "sweat once a day and be hapr.y" knew more than th Harley-street specialists who charge fifty guineas for taking off 7 pounds in a month by diet, medicine and electrical vibrators.

Eva Turner said nothing â€" her pla- cid face seeming to conceal every thought or emotion of her brain. "I am not sure Mrs. Raynor wishes me to stay here," she said, turning to Nan with an air half diffident, half insolent. "I am not sure that I do," Nan re- turned calmly. "Hut I think It is pro- per that you should stay, and so 1 ask you to do so. . . You may take the room you had before â€" and I will ask you to respect my desire to be let alone." The group broke up and Finley took Nan olf for a walk in the grounds. "Make no objections," he said, "you will be ill if you ilon't got out of doors more.
