tialIy, toward Finley? Was sne in love with the dead man? Or with Finley?
 And then Miss Hattie broke lp again.
 ,"Oh, Nan she cried. in wailing toner "oh, Nancy, why did you do it' I saw you-I saw you drop pei lets in Douglas teacup = twice l saw you" t-
 Did you do that, Mrs. Raynor?" Fraser fired at her, suddenly.
 "Yes-" faltered Nan, ives did"
 CHAPTER VII
 The afternoon sun shone bright ly on the great beds of blossoms at Flower Acres.
 The funeral of Douglas Raynor had taken place, and the family had gathered again on the western ter race for the tea that was daily served there,
 The law had stayed the inyestiga- tion of the tragedy until after. the last rites were held for the victim. but even now the sinister figure of the detective was seen coming to- ward them.
 T say" declared Kent, that's too bad. Nan mustn't be inter- viewed now. She's all in with ner- vous excitement and fatigue. That detestable Dobbins person can sure ly wait till tomorrow"
 "Ill tell him so," said Ezra God dard, quietly, and he rose and went to meet Dobbins.
 Come and talk to me first" God dard said. leading the detective into the library. Surely you, don't want to intrude upon Mrs. Raynor just now. You're on the wrong track, Dobbins, Mrs Raynor never shot her husband"
 Then Finley did 1t. It rests be- tween the two. And at any rate, she was poisoning him. Why, it's an open and shut case. Here's the lady, with an elderly husband, who is un- kind - positively cruel to her. and here's younger man, in love with her and she with him" .
 Hold on there, Dobbins."
 You can't deny it. find that Finley was a rejected suitor when sine married old Raynor - for his wealth, of courbe. Now. she's stood two years or whereabouts of the old man, and she just gave out. She couldn't put up with him any longer. So, she being deep sort, takes to a slow poisoning process, Three different people have told me they have seen her slipping little white tablets into the tea cup or wine glass of her husband"
 T can't believe it."
 "'fhey said it, anyway. The sister is one-and two other credible wit nesses say the same. Now. you must admit that looks bad. Ugly-that's what it is - the whole case is ugly"
 Tt is. - grant you that. But you must remember, Miss Raynor is no friend of her brothers wife - they have never been congenial--"'
 That's neither here nor there. Say they couldn't hit it off together. that's no reason for Miss Matte to make up a falsehood about the poi- son.".
 They may have been harmless tablets-bicarbonate of soda"
 No, no. The man had a nurse looking after him why would the wife administer medicine - and why secretly?" .N
 'That secrecy business may be a mistake. Or merely a secret from Mr. Raynor, who would have been angry if he had thought his wife was dosing him"
 "All right. Mir. Goddard, if that is the true version Of the tablets, then surely Mrs. Raynor can't ob- ject to explaining 1t ss such. She will have every chance to Viudicate herself. and Lord knows. I hope she can do 1t. But my duty Is plain, and I think the sooner get at a serious inquiry, the better"

Brownley's Windows and
Counters Alive With choc-

Easter candles in the Washing.
I ton shops show a number of dainty
and toothsome novelties with old
"B'rer' Rabbit running a close race
for popularity with the seasonal
chickens and chocolate egg sweet.
meats. -
The growing regard for the choco.
late Dummies is traced by the deal
ers to the vogue Of the twilight
story for children and the radio
tales Of their adventures in animal
land now heard so frequently by the
tiny wireless fans.
Brownley's store at r and Thir-
teenth streets is q yeritable bunny
circus and will be q mecca for the
little. ones and the grown-ups, too,
until the Easter egg rolling is q
joyful memory. The big show WIN
doWS have glass decorated surfaces
that show how "B'rer" Rabbit and
his numerous offsprings cavort in
joyful moments, and they serve as
announcements for some Of the de.
lectable CONNECTIONS within.
A new line Of chocolate novelty
rabbits is being dislayed by Brown
ley'S for the first time. These
sweetmeats are put up In most at
tractive boxes which are replicaa
Of the candy Dummies and can be
retained as permanent reminders OF
Easter, 1924, after the children can
no longer withstand the temptations
Of a sweet tooth. These rabbit can
dies are made of the purest ana
sweetest of chocolate that are as
wholesome as they. are a delight
to the taste.
The Rabbit Fife and Drum Corps,
the Bunnies at School, the Dummies
Camping Out Party and Easter Egg
Frolic, King Bunny and His
Chariot, and Bunny Boy Goes to
Easter Market, are some Of the pic
lures depicted on cake chocolate
that will be certain to make hit
with the children. Both the Brown.
ley F street and G street stores show
a full line of these popular novelties.
OF course the Easter eggs and the
chickens will never be supplanted
by ''B'rer" Rabbit, SO the stores
carry the usual complete line Of
these CONNECTIONS. The line Of Eas-
ter novelty candy containers was
never more attractive and the ro-
mantle swain who wants to "Say
It With Candy on Easter Sunday
can find Something to please both
his eye and fit his pocketbook.

The part played by silver in the
recent world war, however was con-
siderably vaster and more far-reach-
ing. 1t was silver and silver only
which prevented a revolution in India
at the very moment when the allied
armies were battling most desper-
ately.
In 1913 every available man was on
the fighting line. One of the things
the allies needed most was jute. or
gunny sacking, and the only place TO
get 1t was India. In previous years
the British government had patiently
taught the natives that silver certifi-
Gates were as good as silver, bnt by
1913 the enormous demand for jute
had withdrawn, nearly all the silver
used to back these certificates. Ger
many learned this and began propa-
ganda In India. A run on Indian
banks would have destroyed the con-
fidence of the natives in Britain and
thrown India into revolt.
Silver must be found somewhere
to save India. and possibly to save
the allies" the Geographic Bulletin
continued. Supplies of mined silver
had been exhausted. There was only
one big source. Of silyer-the vaults

great piles of silver dollars backed

for that silver. 1t was sold gladly.

1000 feet to Camp ". and with more
than three hours daylight left we sup
posed we should have no difficulty in
reaching our tents before dark.
The fresh snow fallen during the
night had SO altered appearances that
We could not be certain as we trav-
srsed back toward the ridge again
that we were exactly following the
line by which we had approached our
camp the day before. My impression
is that we went too low and missed
it. Fresh snow had to be cleared
away from where we must cut steps.
1t was not a difacult place. and yet
not easy. as the slope below US was
dangerous and yet not very steep, not
steep enough to be really alarming
or specially to warn tho climber that
a slip may be fatal. 1t was an occa-
sion when the need for care and At
tention was greater than obviously
appeared.
Perhaps the steps were cut too
hastily. or In one way and another
we were taking small risks that We
would nat usually take. : Tho whole
party would not necessarily have
been in grave danger because one man
lost his footing. But we were un-
prepared. When the third man slipped
the last man was moving and was at
once pulled of his balance. The Sec

have checked these two, could not

The beneficent superiority with
which we now regarded the whole

for our tongues were hanging out
after SO much exercise of breathing
We had no chance Of finding a trickle

moro snow on this new line, as I had
supposed, but 1t was not to our liking
