CAXTON'S

By ELIZABETH WEED
IWIien I wus In tlie tncdlcal deport

stationed nt Hongkong I was Runt In

cor. Lieutenant Caxton, who was 111. I

I laid some experience with ludlnn

Caxtoii had not lieen In Ihe rare of a

From that time forward I watched

that lie bail begun to suspect as much

than he should linve done. I asked

l'"rom this I surmised that when be

My problem was to discover If she
was really poisoning him and If so In
what way. In most such cases the
drug Is administered In the food. I
succeeded In getting sample* of the
fo<sl the patient was taking e.t times
when he was in a low condition and
analyzed them, hut I could not llnd tlio
slightest trace of anything that should
not have been there. Eastern races
are famous for tholr methods of poi
soning. and I bad during my scrvice
in India gathered some Information
regarding Ilium. I therefore kept my
eyes open with n vluw to discovering
some other way by which Cnxton's
nurse was working on him. If sbc wns

would not lie easy to innke a change,
and the only other way for mo to do
was to solve the puzzlo of his Illness.
A eoiiunon way of administering poi

Is liy ineaiis of a linger ring. A person

that Caxton's nurse wore a ring on her

him doses in that way. I protended to
admire the ring ml asked her to let
me examine It. :-'e haniie.l it to me
without hesl'- lion. and I looked It
