the many colored powders and liquids these con-

not to trespass within the forbidden precinct.
But last night there was no one about. and Mary
decided that she would take peep. According TO
her own story. she went into the laboratory ard
locked the door. In her hurried inspection she
found what she supposed were some choice choco-
late drops and swallowed half dozen OF them In
a single gup. Before she could cry out for help
she fell 10 the floor and was soon unconscious.
Fortunately for the girl. Mrs. Storges missed her.
and. remembering the girls weakness for invading
the laboratory, she hurried thther Groans from
within confirmed her suspicion and the door was
forced The girl taken 10 Bellevue without
loss Of time. and antidotes were administered ! ne
