Raynor over- hears a conversation between Finley and Nancy and orders Finley to leave the house. "I promise that if you will remove your presence I will at once transform myself into the most gentle, loving and ind-temperod of hus- bands," he sneers. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "You can never say another word to me, of any sort whatever!" And in a fury Finley left them. He was sure ho had made a fool of himself. Sure ho had harmed Nan rather than helped her. Finley went tt his room, but he did not at onco begin to pack 'his things. He sat down by a window pnd gazed out over the flowers, to the sea and sky, and let his thoughts grow calmer and moro practical. Was there no way he could help Nan? No task would be too hard, no service too difficult, if he could but make up for the trouble and annoy- ance he had caused her. For he had small doubt but that Raynor would wreak on his wife the anger ho must feel toward himself, Finley. A long time he thought and sighed as he pondered. And then, instead of packing his kit and starting for the train, he bathed and dressed and presented himself on the western terrace just as tea was being brought there. Finley did not look at his host or speak to him, but as there were pres- ent most of the family, and a few neighbors, this omission was not no- ticed. "Oh, yes, then you may," she beam- ed. "After I pass the buns we'll talk it over." Finley had seated himself, not near Nan, but where he could watch her In fact, he was beside Miss Mattie, who was more than ready to entertain h'm. And it was during one of her long and ramblings discourse that Finley, watching Nan, again saw that quck, furtive motion as of dropping some thing in Raynor's teacup. "Saccharine, sure," he thought. "She can fool him then," ho thought "But seems to me she could fool him oftenor and better than slie does." Tea over, they lingered on the ter- race. Another gorgeous sunset was under wav. "Rarely docs that old sun get a mi^^ .. â- ; - H.:. ehar.ce to sink to rest in such t bed 01" beauty," said Eva Turner, who was always loquacious at tea time. "There she goesl" cried Dolly, as the last of tli© great flaming diak dropped out of .sight. "And I must go, too, or mother will blow me up sky-high. Who'll walk to the bridge with me?" "I will," said Orry, who was a born cavalier, and likpwise fond of gay little Dclly. But they tarried until the other guests had taken leave and then, as they sauntered across the 'awn, down toward the bridge over the tiny brook that separated the two "states, the sinister dusk was creeping in from the darkening horizon. "I'm jealous of your other prince," Kent bantered, and Dolly said, seri- ously "He isn't really mine, he's Nan's." "Nonsense! What has Nan to do with princes?" "Oh, it doesn't matter that she's n-.arried to that old hobgoblin. I mean that can't stop her loving her prince." "Don't, Dolly; it isn't nice for a lit- ^le girl to say things like that." "Nice or not â€" it's true talk. You see. Nan ought to have married Mr. i''inley in the first place." "Hush, Dolly," Kent spoke sternly. 'Nan's my sister, and 1 forbid you to gossip about her." "All right, Orry, I won't. Miss .Mattie isn't your sister, is she? May I talk about her?" "Yes, if you like," and the young man smiled. "Well, she's a meddlesome Mattie. What do you suppose she's doing now? She's looking down here at us!" The two were on the bridge now, 'he little rustic affair that added pic- turesquencss to the scene. Dolly had turned and was looking back toward the house. "What sharp eyes you have," Kent said, looking, too. "I can scarcely sec her. The dark comes quickly." "Yes." Dolly looketl at her wrist- watch. "It's just seven o'clock. I must run. Goodby, Orry." "Goodby," Kent said, looking at his own watch, and starting off toward the house.

And at that dj,r, in another ii o- :r.ent, appeared Nan, white-faced â- 1.^d terr'fied. Then, as Nan stepped into the room, Orville Kent also came in from the .-outh side, through the outside door that opened on the lawns and flower beds that ran down to the brook. "What is it?" he cried; then, catch- ing sight of Raynor's fallen figure, and taking in Finley with the pistol, Kent sprang acrss the room to put his arm around the shaking form of his sister. "Move, somebody! Do something:" came from Miss Turner in an hyster- ical shriek. "Oh, Douglass!" Miss Mattie cried, and tottered to a chair. "Whoâ€" who did it?" gasped Nan, her voice almost inaudible. "Who did it?" mocked Miss Turner. "There he stands â€" with his weapon still in his hand!" "Oh," said Nan, her frightened eyes staring, isn't he?" "Hush, Nan," said her brother. "Will you let me take you to your room?" "No, no, Orry, I must stay here â€" I must! You stay by me." "Yes, Nan," and Kent placed her in a big chair, and then sat near her. (To be continued.) Chestnuts ^^ V»'*^l^'^ Where was the first nail struck? â€" Upon the head.

ON THE FLOOR LAY HER BROTHER IN AN UNGAINLY HEAP, NEAR III.M STOOD FINLEY. \\VS pcross the lawn, but there was r.o mote to it than idle curiosity. It was her habit to watch every- thing and everybody, in hope of learn- ing something she was not meant to know. From her own room, with the win- dows all open, she had heard her bro ther leave the teri'aco and go into the sun parlor â€" that was doubtless to avoid the dampness. She had heard Malcolm Finley, at tho same time, leave the terrace and tro into tho house, walking through tho rear hall, and out on the east verandah. She had listened intently i.ut ditln't hear Nan follow him â€" a distinct disappointment to Miss Mat- tie. Mr. Goddard, she knew, was in his own room. And Eva Turner was hustling about, now in her bedroom, then on the stairs, then to tho kitchen and back againâ€" of course, intent upon her dietary duties. Despairing of any further sounds of interest. Miss Mattio snapped on her lights and looked at her clock It was five minutes to seven then, time to begin to dress for dinner. And then, though not listening intently. Miss Mattie's ears were startled by tho sound of a single shot. Indeed, at first she didn't recognize it as a shot So often a supposed shot had been a blow-out or a burst tire, that now, when it was really a shot, she naturally thought it some- thing else. For a moment no sounds followed, and then various light foot- steps could bo heard below. Still unthinking of tragedy, Mi.?s Mattie stepped out into the hall, and, though hall and stairs were as yet unlightcd, she felt her way to the banister rail and started slowly down the stairs. When half way down she could dis- cern a white figure standing in the door between the hall and the sun parlor, but as she went on, the figure which she knew to be that of Eva Tumor went through tho doonvay and tho next instant tho lights of the sun parlor were flashed on. Mis.i Mattie scurried the rest of the way down and peered through the hall door into the sun room. On the floor lay her brother in an ungainly heap, near him stood Mal- colm Finley, an automatic pistol iri h'.s hand, and by the door, her hand still on the light switch, stood E\a Turner. ISSUE No. \1â€"'19 "Iâ€" I didn't do it," I^Inlcolm Finley said, and quickly added, "I c'on't think I did." "Oh, you don't!" and Miss Turner's scorn fell on him. "Well, then, Mrs. Raynor did it! As I came to this door I heard the shot, and before I could get tho light on I saw you bothâ€"" "How could you see without the lights on?" asked Orville Kent, stern- ly. Ezra Goddard came then, shocked and wondering; Hatfield, the butler, appeared, and several maid servants huddled in tho background. "Somebody must take charge here," Goddard said, going toward the stricken man; "perhaps he isn't dead." Mlnard's Liniment prevents Flu.
