She eyed him with a knowing

had certain foreign traits in his ma
ture. One Of these was the fact that
he preferred to keep himself in
health by drinking waters and diet

strenuous form OF sport. For all
that, he was an excellent shot and
a first-rate swordsman, in spite Of
his bulk.

Madame de Toros carefully ex-

sip from her liqueur glass, looking
rather hard az her brother with her
bold, humorous, utterly sophisticat-

is this little girl you are always

Gideon did not hesitate in his
reply.

Judith Grant, artists model, loves
Alan Steyne, painter, who Is also
loved by her roommate, Chummy
Morley, who lost her memory when
Steyne disappeared seven years ago
and only regained 1t after he re-
turned. Feeling obligated to Chum-

him. although he loves Judith. Ju-
dith Is studying dancing under the
great Guarvenius, and Bruce Gil
deon, rich financier, is planning to
star her in a musical show. She
overhears Gideon tell Vincent
Stornaway, portrait painter. that
Judy isn't the sort one can marry,
and Steyne warns her against him.

Gideon greeted Judy with his
usual difference. playfully remark
ing that Guarvenius must be a
slave driver. and that she ought TO
escape from him now and then.
Il am escaping from him. Mr.

This was news to him. He SEEM

there at the same time to show her
the sights. He often ran over To
Paris, he said.
Stornaway said he would paint
no more that day. and they had tea
Judy poured 1t. sitting on the
couch with her feet on the white
polar bear, and remembering how
she had sat on IL and overheard the
two men discussing her. She was
sparkling with high spirits. as gay
as q lark. and making the men rock
with her cheap witticisms and
quaint expressions.
Gideon left the house with her.
She allowed him to walk with her
TO the corner. where she waited
for the bus.
When shall I see you again.
Miss Judy?" he asked. what about
tomorrow I'm busy all day. but
will you dine with me?'
With pleasure, Mr.. Punch" she
said.
There was something pensive and
almost shy in her smile. but she was
full Of inward laughter. She saw
the look in his eyes-the old covet-
Gus look. His lips were moist as he
smiled. He supposed that she had
felt neglected because he had not
sought her out. and that she would
now be easier to manage. He
thought he had scored the first
point in the game.
Bud Judy knew otherwise.

David Roberts, estranged husband of
the slain woman. and James Collins,
a boarder with Mrs. Roberts, were be-

A State trooper, answering an
anonymous telephone call early today,
arrived at the farm house in Burlington
road as Bogue staggered out, bleeding
from self inflicted wounds in the throat
and wrists.
They're down in the cellar" Bogue
gasped
The trooper walked across freshly
scrubbed kitchen floor and down into
the cellar where he found the bodies
beside shallow grave. Both had been
mutilated about the head and body,
Bogue made a full confession, police
said. According to the police version,
he had been boarder in Mrs. Roberts
farmhouse for three and half years.
Then recently Ostberg, molder living
at Mystic hotel, had come from Hart
ford and replaced him in the 52-year-
old woman's affections. Saturday night
he had returned to find Mrs. Roberts
and Ostberg together in the farmhouse
kitchen. In a rage he snatched up an
AK. he told police, and hacked away
at the pair.
Then he dragged the two bodies into
the cellar, washed the blood from the
kitchen floor. changed his clothes and
started to dig a grave. But remorse
overcame him and he slashed his
wrists and throat with a carving knife.
The wounds however were only super
fetal and Bogue was taken to the State
police barracks for detention.

VISA AGREEMENT
WITH BRITAIN HOPE
State Department Plans Re-
CiproCation Affecting Thou
sands From u. S.

A bargaining point which the State
Department hopes may eventually lead
to a reciprocal visa agreement with
Great Britain has been found after
months of unsuccessful efforts to secure
a waiver or reduction of costs of pass
post visas.
With many thousands of Americans
going abroad annually, the department
has successfully negotiated agreement
with many of the principal European
countries for a waiver of visas or re-
duction of the fee which American
travellers pay. Since the fee for each
visa is considered by the British gov
eminent to be lucrative source of
revenue, the negotiations with Great
Britain for some modification of the
present costly system to Americans
have failed
Britain'S Proposal as Base.
A new point upon which negotiations
for a modified reciprocal agreement
can be based was furnished the State
Department by the British themselves
in formal note asking a group visa for
ID members of the British Legion and
two servants, who will attend the an
nual conference of the Federation In

Washington next month In addition
to asking for the group visa, the Brit

that each applicant for visa must ap-
pear personally before an American

men. Ignoring the State Department.

government. in second note last week
pointed out instances under which a
precedent had been set by the depart

Insists on Reciprocity.
In its most recent note, which has
just been handed Sir Ronald Lindsay
the British Ambassador, the department
has again emphatically declined the re-
quest unless the British will enter into
reciprocal agreement. The British re-
quest for the waiver of appearance at
a consulate was made on the grounds
that the Legionnaires were scattered
over all parts of the United Kingdom.
