tiOn you about another matter.

"Yes. He said he wanted to

This statement created a new
line of thought. Mabey was in
terested in horses. Was it
possible that he really wanted
the poison for that purpose and
that his attempted purchase of
the drug was merely coinci-
dence and in no way connected
with the BoSSe case?
After a conference, however.
II was decided to hold the sub
ject for further developments
and he was conducted to a cell.
A couple of days later Mabey
was led from his cell to con-
front Sergeant Britt. Once
more he was placed in the lineup
which was viewed by a keen,
clear-eyed gentleman.
The man nodded. and the line
was dismissed. Mabey was
brought into the room where his
nemesis, surrounded by group
of officers, sat regarding him
appraisingly.

"Well. let's have your story

him with a wave of his hand.

shocked 10 read in the Boston
papers that Mrs. Mildred Payne
BosSe had committed suicide.
The former popular. vivacious
Northboro high school girl was
highly regarded in the friendly
little town where the interest of
one is the interest of all.
1t appeared that on the pre-
vious evening Henry Bosse. her

Or. Joseph J. Cody who arrived
in a matter of minutes. After
a brief examination he informed
the stunned relatives that the
young woman had been dead for
about three hours.
Sergt. William Britt Of the

who was assigned TO the case,
observed upon arrival that the
body showed no signs of violence
but noted cigar ashes sprinkled
over the dead woman'S slip.
His puzzled eyes wandered 10

which rested two clean whisky
glasses and an empty pint

shifted the glasses and found
them odorleSs: though empty.
the bottle smelled strongly OF
liquor.
From this tho detective CON
cluded that the dead woman had
been entertaining. and either she
or 4 more than fastidious guest
had washed the glasses after
finishing the bottle.
Britt carefully considered tho
position of the body which had
not been disturbed by Doctor
Cody: and a certain careful dis

floor. He was rewarded by find

that death was caused by poison.
Mildred BoSSe had died al
