what's your name?"

"Hazel Bennett. Mrs. Hazel Ben- tleit."

"Mrs. saxe says you've worked for Mrs. llime for three years. Do mu know any reason why Mr.

Hume could have taken his own life?"

Hazel shook her head rather dully. It was Bernice Saxe who rlaborated. With the ash long again on her cigarette which she

"ire known him only six months nr so, from the time they were married, but I'd say no, I mean, in commit suicide a person has to have -well. a sort of passion- ate quality. Alhert was-well. he was quiet. He was a mattcr-of- tact person. I can't imagine him killing himself over anything."

"That seems to leave accident o- murder, then." said Tuck and u'tllt'h8Cl them.

Mrs, Saxe slipped from the stool. her high heels clattering on illf floor. "It can't. be murder!" she exclaimed. with what seemed to Tuck undue passion. ”It just ..mlt be." She added. staring into his eyes with her shining brown

miles. "I mean they were such a tl0i'0t8d couple " Haze-its little gray head turned

As Tuck turned to leave the kitchen he told them. "Youtd bet- ter wake Mrs. l-lime now. I have In tail: to her. You might give her -ome black coffee."

”There isn't any coffee." ltazel. "I was just going to ttore to get some."

to the bedrooms Tuck came face Wface with Froody. Proody. a white handkerchief around his hand. was holding out a card- hoard box about six inches high "Look!" he said.

Tuck moved so that the light from the window above the re-

rssed har fell on the yellow box. it had a fine coating of dust and

mre the legend. "Pullers Ant. Pnzson." it had been opened.

"I found it on the top shelf of the cupboard in the den." said

Froody. "It was shoved way back."

The medical examiner turned into the hall from the dead man's --oom. his bag in his hand. his hat on his head. Tuck held out the nnx which he had taken from Froody in order to read the fine print containing a list of the in- zredients of Fuller's ant powder. "Ninety per cent sodium fluor- ide." Tuck said to the medical ex- aminer. "Would you say a dose of his could have killed I-lime?"

"Sodium fluoride." repeated the rl-:ctor. I-le cocked his head to one side. "Yes. That could have done the trick. I'd say that-oh. about a teaspoonful would kill-" he let nzs eyes rove tip Tuck's height- ”rven you." with a grin and a gay salute. he left them.

''I think I'll take a look at this den." said Tuck. He used two sheets from the stack of yellow

paper on the desk to Wrap the hos of poison carefull .

"Someone around ere must llavo been a writer." said Proody. nodding toward the typewriter. the deep stack of pages beside it.

"Mrs. Himc." said Tuck. looking at the first page oi the manu- rripi. "She calls herself Victoria Jason."

The death occurred at the Prince Edward Island Hospital on October lflth. 1951. of Bartlett 5. MacKin- ivy. a highly respected resident of Frenchfort.

The deceased was born at North River September .'ird. 1874. the inungest son of the late Mr. and Mrs, -John Macxinley. He had been in failing health for some months but had seemed to be im- -iroving. when a heart attack made It necessary. on the morning of Dctober 10th. to remove him from its home to the hospital. where he tuned peacefully away some hours later.

Possessed of a pleasant and kindly manner. he made many friends. and will be deeply missed in the community in which he lived.

. Macxlnley was twice mar- ried. first to Miss Beatrice Mulch. Mount Herbert. His second wife. liiiss Katherine MacAlder, River- dale. survives him. and tenderly

cared for him during his illness. Besides his wife. he is survived by one sister Mrs. Mary Hardy. And-

over. Mum. and one brother Rob- ert. North River. The funeral was held from the

Cutcliffe Funeral Home on Friday.
