Death SECRETS
REMAIN HIDDEN
Poison Cottage Mystery Is
Still UnSOIved.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, April 4.-"Poison cot
tage" probably will forever hide its
grim secrets.
The inquest into the mysterious
deaths of Granville Cooke and Sci
wynn Foster, whose pajama-clad bod
les were found in a gas-flooded room,
probably will be adjourned soon
after formal evidence is submitted
today.
Police are inclined to the theory
that Cooke poisoned Foster, 21-year-
old son of a well-to-do family, and
then was accidentally asphyxiated
when he turned on the gas while
dragging Fosters body from a bed,
preparatory to burying him under
the floor.

ly at the long slender form, impa-
tent for Chickie to awaken.
Chickie watched, pretending to be
asleep. Jennie hadn't lost any time.
Jennie would now begin her shy,
eager cross-examination, sending
down her questions like plummets
to sound the still, mysterious depths
of Chickie's heart.
Because her heart was clear and
happy then Chickie laughed. Jennie
came hurrying over to the bed, set
out the tray, fussing with the sugar
and cream. She was agitated. All
those things Jonathan had said about
the smoking and that stuck like red
thorns in her flesh.
Seeing this, Chickie said fiippant-
ly: mice breakfast, What's bit
ing you, sweet Jennie?"
"Chickie, that's no way for you
to talk 20 your mother"
Laughing: But you love it, don't
you old dear?"
Mrs. Bryce pursed her lips. She
sot up and poured out Chickie's
coffee; sat down again.

Jennie wet her lips. drew them
in and, trying to speak carelessly,
brought out her trembling question
in a solemn whisper: "Chickie. do
you ever kiss any Of these young

She didn't expect that from quiet
little Jennie. She parted a mo-

was young. She had a right to this.
Half way up the garden walk she
pluclIed a pink rose, ran her trem-
bling fingers over the soft leaves.
What was Jonathan going to say?
Would he insult her? Would he lay
down some ridiculous laws?
She wondered what Martha Blake
would say to this. Chickie had a
picture in her mind of the Blake
woman. 1t was of a tall, ample
busted woman--an elemental figure,
carrying a baby on her hip-always
a baby. Cooking the dinner, stand
ing at the door to buy vegetables
from a peddler, the Immortal in
FAINT" as Mary called it, was always
in evidence.
They were Martha's grandchil-
dren. They overran her house from
the time her own youngest, Tommy,
was in arms. Martha was a peren-
NAL mother. a great, faithful tree,
taking no laurels to herself, but do
ing her part with wise, serene toler-
ance.
With her deep mind and her mel.
low heart she might have flashed
her name brilliantly before the
world. But she had loved and mar
ried. Seven children had come to
her. They were her compensations.
Sometimes, indeed seeing them
dissatisfied, her mind nagged her
with disturbing questions.
After all, had she the right to
bring all these children here? Sup
pose they should scorn the gift of
life thrust upon them so audacious-
ly? They often reminded her that
they had not asked to come; they
told her very coolly that her wish
for children was purely selfish in
stinct. 1t did not merit gratitude
from them.
Martha agreed. She found no an.
swers for her problems. She met
them with a brave, adventurous
trust in the future.
Chickie loved Martha Blake. She
was such an easy, pleasant person
one that you could accost carelessly
like this, "Well, what about it now
did you honestly never kiss man
iE your life except your husband?"
Martha had never built up about
herself the mother legend" She

ment, then threw her mother a
shocked look: Mother! Why, the
idea! Such a thing to say"'
Jennie blushed: "Of course
well, didn't think you did"
II can't imagine why you ask.
Did you kiss young men? Did you
ever kiss anyone but father?"
It was Jennie's turn to be
alarmed: "Chickie! Why, I'm sur
prised."
"Oh my yes! But you think it's
all right to ask me"'
ct just wanted to make sure"
said Jennie, accepting Chickie's
evasion. Because when 1 was a
girl things were different. We
didn't earn our own money. Why.
my mother would not have given
her daughter a latch key. 1 never
kissed your father till we were
engaged and only when he
came and when he left"
Confident that the inquiry was
over. Chickie began to tease: well,
don't you think you're grand. Jen-
ME! 1t seems to me you were mighty
adventurous. For my part I'll sip
little before I contract to swallow
the whole dish"'
"Chickie, I wish you wouldn't talk
like that. People may think you
mean it,"
Chicllie laughed and sprang from
bed. Was her mother honest? Did
she really think kiss so shocking?
Did she suppose Chickie never kissed
any one? And was all that true
about the girls of yesterday.
