And Cap'n had listened, head cocked inquiringly, beady eye bright with or so Dundee chose to believe. "Now, 'my dear Watson, 1 that is the crime which you and I must try to solve," he summed up.

"But behind that crime lies another, which did not come off. Our primary problem, therefore, is to find the person who plotted Mrs. Berkeley's death by wood alcohol poisoning, but who was forced, by fear to murder Doris Matthews instead. Is that clear?" "Perfume!" Cap'n croaked suddenly, proud of the new addition to his vocabulary. "Exactly!" Dundee grinned.

"Soneone transferred than two ounces of deadly wood alcohol from the lighter fountain in Mrs. Berkeley's sitting-room, to the flask of Fleur d'Amour which Seymour Crosby presented) to his hostess Friday evening. And was caught in the act by Doris Matthews." "Perfume!" Oap'n repeated and flapped his wings excitedly. again!" his master applauded. "Where is the perfume which Mrs.

Berkeley's would-be murderer removed from the flask to make way for the wood alcohol? Gigi had wasted about an ounce of the Fleur d'Amour. Mrs. Berkeley knew just how much was left in the bottle, for -she hook the flask from Gigi herself. Therefore, the would-be murderer had to remove about two andw a half ounces of perfume before putting that amount of wood alcohol into the bottle. "Now, it is not at all likely that the surplus perfume was poured down the drain pipe of Mrs.

Berkeley's bathroom basin, for the very good reason thai; Mils. Berkeley would have been almost sure to smell it when she came up to bed. what move logical than a perfume bottle toMiold perfume? "Mrs. Berkeley's would-be murderer probably counted on several days clap5jng before drank the Flour d'Amour, since she had another new bottle of perfume on hand, as the plotter could have- seen by glancing at her dressing- or could have known already. "Now why the choice of Fleur d'Amour instead of the new bottle of department store perfume? To incriminate Crosby, provided the would-be murderer was not Crosby safer for the poisoner if the perfume had come from Franco, rather than from a local department store.

"If my reasoning is correct so far, the would-be poisoner expected to have ample leisure in which to dispose of that Incriminating surplus of Fleur d'Amour before Mrs. Berkeley's death. But consider problem which confronted the poi- soner when or but let's say 'he' for the sake of convenience caught in the act by Doris Hiimself? Or because the Fleur d'Amour (Sc come from abroad?
