 "Oh, yes, did. She said 1t was seven, and she must hurry home, as her mother would be expecting her. So she went home, and l came back up the hill to this house."
 Reaching here to find Raynor shot and the others standing about in consternation?
 Yes"
 "oh, Mr. Kent, you are forget ting your story of shooting him yourself," .Zizi cried this out.
 Kent did not smile - he looked troubled. and said earnestly, But you tell me, Mir. Wise, that my sister will not be arrested if she is innocent"
 T did not say arrested l said convicted. However. do not think she will even be arrested. So, as l said, wait 24 hours -- before you make public this rather bewilder- ing story of your own guilt We have pretty well proved that the shot was fired at five minutes be- fore seven. You were then on the bridge with Miss Fay. Now when you see your sister in such dire danger that you feel necessary to take over her guilt, and claim 1, for yourself, it will be time enough 10 make your confession. But for heavens sake get it bolstered UT into shape so that at least Dob bins will believe it."
 Will you let me know, Mir Wise, if or when you see matters so tending toward my sister tha' she is in danger?"
 Tn order that you may make your fake confession?"
 Kent nodded.
 "Tu promise this Mir Kent I'll promise to tell you first of all when I have learned the identit! of the real criminal. And l will tel you within the 24 hours"
 T know what ails that Ken man." Zizi said, as they walked away into the gardens. He has m sense of humor."
 My word, Zizi. Do you call tht an occasion for an exhibition of sense Of humor??"
 Not precisely, but I mean h. couldn't even see how funny h was, bargaining with you to lo him know when the psychological moment arrived for him to commi perjury to save his sister"
 Your English is nearly as in volved as his plans. Now, Zizi. tn will business must be looked int next - and settled before we ca accuse the beautiful widow" Don't, Penny" , Didn't she shoot her husband ?
 No - a thousand times no!" Who did, then?" "You know well enough, Penn , Wise. But as to that will, we'v got 10 get 1t out Of Friend Liont somehow"

Douglas Raynor Is found shot through the heart in the early eve- ming on the floor of the sun room of Flower Acres, his Long Island home Standing over the dead man, pistol in hand, Is Malcolm Finley. former sweetheart of Rhynor's wife, Nancy. Eva Turner, Raynor's nurse. stands by the light switch. Then Nancy; her brother. Orville Kent: Ezra Goddard. friend of Fin ley: Miss Matte, Raynor's sister, and others, enter the room. Lionel Raynor, son of Douglas Raynor by first marriage, comes 10 claim his fathers estate. Nurse Turner con- fesses to attempting to poison Douglas Raynor out of revenge. Pennington Wise, a celebrated de- tective, and his girl assistant, Zizi, are called to take the case sput of the hands of Detective Ddbbins. Wise tells Orville Kent that an outsider is suspected of the mur- der because of the print of an over shoe found on the floor of the sun room.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 "She is suspected, of course. And there is strong tendency on the part of some to suspect an out sider on account Of the print of the overshoe."
 "Is that really a clew?"
 "It's sort of a negative clew. I have made most careful search and have found in the house no rub bers that can ba made to fit that print"
 "supposing I did 1t -- and threw away my rubbers--" Where did you throw them?"
 "Why why - l don't know
 "All right where would you choose to throw thcm?"
 'In the rubbish can. I suppose, ' and Kent looked so blank that Zizi smiled at his utter lack of in- genuity.
 i Now as to the time, onct more." Wise said. What do you know of the time from your owr observation regarding that mo mcnt of the Mime ?"

LODGE IS APPROACHED
 FOR WILSON ATTACK

Unprecedented Debate Precipitated In Senate
 By Recent Notes

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Senate chamber over which Calvin Coolidge so recently presided, today became the forum of debate on his of ficial acts and political fortunes, re- markedly alike for its solemnity and for it's bitterness.
 Impelled by the disclosure that he had sent two telegrams to Edward B. Mclean while the oil inquiry was at it's height, a half dozen democratic senators turned upon the President the same implements of attack they have employed so often recently against members of his cabinet.
 He was defended with an equal fer vor by Henry Cabot Lodge, the vener- able republican Senate leader from his own state, who not only praised the Presidents attitude toward the oil scandal, but deplored the tendency to- ward disparagement of public men, which he said, had dragged senate tra- ditions to an unbecoming level.
 Lodge Attacked
 In turn, Senator Lodge was himself attacked by democratic senators as one of those who helped to lead the assualt on President Wilson, which Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, de- clared had sent the war President to an untimely grave.
 Senator Harrison, democrat, Missis- sippi, brought MT. Coolidge's name into the debate with demand that he per- sonally explain to the country his com with Mclean, and not leave that explanation to White House state ments issued by his secretary, c. Bas- com Slemp.
 The speech went unanswered for more than two hours and then Senator Lodge, after communicating with the White House, arose to explain why the President had communicated with Me Lean, and to assure the Senate that whatever record leaps to life, he never will be ashamed"
 The procurement of the republi- can leader was followed by a disclaimer by Senator Harrison that he had at-
