Inter zone abroad and Btudied In Heidelberg and
Vienna for two years. Professionally he was we'll
entail family connections had insured him large
practice from the first. AS Cheney had told Mrs.
Simpson. he personally did not like DR.. Furniss
He had heard of one or two OF the doctors &C.
tions which he deemed caddish. Furniss lived
in great style, maintained beautiful suite of
officers, and seemed to be firmly intrenched in his
position. These facts Col. Cheney knew without
investigation
AT II o'clock he appeared at the jail At his
request he was allowed to see Samuel Simpson
Cheney looked the young man over thoroughly
He was a clean-cut, manipulating chap, brown
eyes and hair, and truth was written all over his
face. The colonel told Simpson Of the interview
he had had that morning with his mother. Frank
~ and honestly young Simpson related to COL
Cheney all he knew OF the case. OF course
Rhodus had d very large store and large numbers
OF prescriptions were put up there every day. He
could not remember the component, parts of any
one he had filed. But 1t was an invariable rule
that each prescription be checked after 1t was
filed Simpson had done this, and pasted the
filled prescription in a dig book for that purpose,
After he had given the medicine to the Havilands'
waiting butler the matter passed from his mind,
and he thought no more of 1t until his arrest That
was all. E4 vN #
