Every one Of us Kent said carelessly. Tt was the property of my brother-in-law, and was always kept in the upper right-hand drawer of that desk, at your side"
 Was it. indeed?" and Dobbins seemed surprised. And was 1t, to your knowledge, MT. Kent, in that drawer just beforet the shooting?"
 ITO my belief, rather than know ledge a beliG based on the as- sumption that it was doubtless there, because that was its accus- toned place.
 "Or," suggested Malcolm Finley 'in the event of an ill-intentioned intruder, Mir. Raynor himself may have opened the drawer and taken the pistol out to protect himself and so may have been shot, by his own hand or another's."
 "I can't see it as a suicide" and Dobbins gave a long look at Finley. "Where was any motive for Douglas INdyHOT IO hlll llDlbSll
 For that matter, who had any motive to kill him?" asked God dard.
 We won't go into that at pres ent," Dobbins returned, quickly.
 No. don't" was Goddard's warn- ing, Let me tell you, MT. Dobbins, this case is far from simple. Let me ask you to go slowly, for there are many things yet to be discovered"
 That I well know, Mir. Goddard. But this pistol is valuable bit of evidence. We must take care of 1t. 1t will, of course, show the finger prints of Mir. Malcolm Finley as he handled it. If it shows no others"
 Tt will prove that the murderer wore gloves" said Ezra Goddard.
 Let me come in - let me hear all this.".
 The words were spoken by Dolly Fay, who came into the room, locked quickly about and then seated herself close 10 Nan.

 Your evidence would be Of no use, miss; We cant take children as witnesses-"
 Pooh, guess you'll be glad to get evidence from anybody if it's good evidence"
 Do you know anything about the natter" asked Dobbins,
 Not thing"
 Why did you come over here. DoIly?' asked Nan. 'I think you'd better run home again"
 Not l. I'm here 10 hclp-why, Nancy, I was in bed, and heard the telephone, and heard our peo- pie talking about it somebody was telling Dad the news - and I just hoped up and skittled into my togs, and ran over."

 No, Orry, you don't understand. I've bit Of detective instinct. Nan, you needn't pretend. you're sorry he's dead"
 Dolly, be quiet"' Miss Matte glared at her. You're a wicked lit tle thing, and ] order you 10 go"
 But you're not mistress here, Miss Matte"
 Sine was an impertinent, forward child, yet something in her manner made Ezra Goddard feel that she might be of use. and he said:
 ''I.et the child stay if she likes. No. possible witness ought 10 be ig- nored. Did you hear the shot fired. Miss Fay?"

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON PLAUSIBLE YOUNG MEN

isn't It dreadful about poor MrS
Fuller. Aunt EmmyI" exclaimed
Molly. That company she bought
those bonds In has failed and she has
lost nearly every cent she had"
Dc you know how it happened p
asked Aunt Emmy. "She got q let
ter from some so-ealled Investment
house she knew nothing about She
answered 1t and they sent a plausible
young man to her and he persuaded
her that the company he was selling
bonds for was a seventh wonder.
The carelessness of some people Is
really criminal Mrs. Fuller might
have gone to her bank, asked for re-
liable Information and saved her
money. Amy bank has or can get the
facts about business concerns show
ing their condition. Had she bought
bonds In a company that the facts
showed had been meeting its obllga-
tons for years, had a good surplus
and good business prospects. she
would not be in trouble today In
stead, she took the word OF that
plausible man who was either de-
ceived himself, or who wiIlfully de-
ceiyed her, or at least was not SO
much interested In protecting her as
In selling bonds to her. There Is
really very little excuse for the Mrs.
Fullers OF today because reliable in.
formation on financial matters may
be had so easily"
IF she only hadn't put 40 much
money in those bondsl" commented
sympathetic Molly.
That's another thing II is unwise
to do" replied Aunt Emmy. "It is
always foolish to carry all your eggs
In one basket Now II she had put
only part of her money In those bonds
instead OF all she had. she could have
stood the loss. AS 1t is there is no
telling what straits the poor little
woman has got herself into. Like
every one else Mrs. Fuller was too
greatly tempted by the promise OF a
high rate OF interest on her invest
ment. Her extreme ignorance OF
finance coupled with the desire for
high interest caused all her trouble.
There are few things more dan.
gerous than thinking you can do
something you know nothing about as
well as somebody who knows all
about it, How foolish that sounds
just to say III MRS Fuller may DO

of her Judgment OF cuts of meat. get
the very best and most for her money
but that is no sign that she can Judge
securities. Buying bonds is no diff

must understand your subject. You
must know how to select good bonds,
and you must know when to sell and
when TO buy. The only way you can
do this Is TO take the advice of some
one whose business 1t In 10 study tho

buy, abide by his decision
